:00:09. > :00:14.Good evening. Here are the headlines: The soldier prince meets
:00:14. > :00:18.the officers from the riot frontline in Salford.
:00:18. > :00:23.We report on Prince Harry's visit to Salford and how it was viewed by
:00:23. > :00:27.the people who live there. Also tonight, our A-levels all was the
:00:27. > :00:31.smart choice? We ask whether getting an apprenticeship is the
:00:31. > :00:38.best idea. -- always. A court rules on the case of puffy
:00:38. > :00:43.you -- puppy love. The leader -- and cannot go back to his owner.
:00:43. > :00:48.were devastated. This does not just end here. We will never forget him.
:00:48. > :00:58.The farmer using the latest technology to monitor the way his
:00:58. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:13.We have the most remarkable story. This lady walk from, and found out
:01:13. > :01:18.she was a mother. -- walk from a coma.
:01:18. > :01:21.Prince Harry, himself a frontline soldier, said he is shocked and
:01:21. > :01:28.outraged by the rioting which brought mayhem to Salford last week.
:01:28. > :01:34.He visited the city of Salford this week, a week after the May and that
:01:34. > :01:38.brought misery to many. -- mayhem. He met fire and ambulance personnel
:01:38. > :01:45.on the riot front line last week. Like his father, yesterday in
:01:45. > :01:49.Tottenham, he was visibly taken aback by what he was shown.
:01:49. > :01:54.Mindless, the Prince's take on the violence that hit the streets. As
:01:54. > :02:00.an officer, he is used to conflicts, but he seemed shocked by the way
:02:00. > :02:05.that fire crews were turned on when they came to help. Six fire engines
:02:05. > :02:09.were damaged, fire crews pelted with bricks. Youths running around,
:02:10. > :02:15.there was no control over them. The police were in defensive positions,
:02:15. > :02:21.defending us. He asked us ball we did and how we felt. Did we see
:02:21. > :02:26.anything like it before? -- what we did. He was appreciative of the
:02:26. > :02:30.work that we do on a day-to-day basis. Prince Harry's desire to
:02:30. > :02:35.understand what happened in Salford took him to the heart of the city.
:02:35. > :02:40.He has got guts, coming up here. And on planned walkabout through
:02:40. > :02:44.the precinct where shops were looted, smashed and torched. The
:02:44. > :02:48.shopkeeper has two shops in Salford. The other one was completely
:02:48. > :02:51.destroyed. Prince Harry has gone inside to talk to him. Everyone has
:02:51. > :03:00.come out to have a look. Will this make a difference to people and
:03:00. > :03:04.Salford Q Mac I would never thought he would be in Salford. He has got
:03:04. > :03:14.more power than the other royals. It will make no difference. Not one
:03:14. > :03:14.
:03:14. > :03:19.bit of difference. The five minutes he visited made me forget about
:03:19. > :03:26.everything. He also met ambulance crews and injured police officers.
:03:26. > :03:32.Out of the blue, I was surrounded by 30 people. One of them first saw
:03:32. > :03:41.fit to throw a brick through the window. Glasson arise, con Somma
:03:41. > :03:47.arms. It was scary. Nice to see that he cares and he was interested
:03:47. > :03:51.in what the City has been through. Prince Charles's son's visit may
:03:51. > :03:57.not change the lives of people here, but it touched them more than they
:03:57. > :04:00.could have imagined. This time last week, parts of the
:04:00. > :04:03.north-west were starting to recover from some of the worst violence we
:04:03. > :04:08.have seen for decades. For some, it was a turning point where they
:04:08. > :04:12.decided it was time to do more to support the community. Since last
:04:12. > :04:16.week's shocking scenes, three of the region's police sources have
:04:16. > :04:21.recorded a surge in the number of people inquiring as to how to
:04:21. > :04:24.become a special constable. There are already more than 2100 in the
:04:24. > :04:32.north-west. They give up 16 hours for free every week to make the
:04:32. > :04:36.streets safer. There has been an assault in
:04:36. > :04:40.Chester city centre. Alastair is talking to a suspect, the sort of
:04:40. > :04:44.thing he does for 30 hours every week as a special constable. This
:04:44. > :04:49.time is given for free. It is a great feeling, when you actually
:04:49. > :04:53.see the changes you have made to the community you love, it is a
:04:53. > :04:58.great feeling. Jonathan is one of the people who watched events
:04:58. > :05:05.unfold last week and decided he wanted to become a special. I think
:05:05. > :05:11.it is exciting. To be able to do something and get some achievement.
:05:11. > :05:17.Going home at the end of the day, I did something, I made a difference.
:05:17. > :05:22.Here in Cheshire alone, special constables gave up 143,000 hours of
:05:23. > :05:27.their own time for free in the last six months. 68% of that time was
:05:27. > :05:32.spent on the beat and they dealt with 15,000 separate incidents and
:05:32. > :05:37.made more than 900 arrests. Rarely have they been more potent than
:05:37. > :05:40.last week, freeing up thousands of colleagues from front I'm duty and
:05:40. > :05:44.providing visible reassurance for anxious communities. -- frontline
:05:45. > :05:48.duty. I was working in the centre quite a lot last weekend. Every
:05:49. > :05:54.other person was stopping you, thanking you for being you -- being
:05:54. > :06:00.there. Giving you support and congratulations. It was mainly
:06:00. > :06:03.after last week's events. David joined after the Toxteth riots. 30
:06:03. > :06:08.years later, he said that the response of his colleagues last
:06:08. > :06:13.week was incredible. For 150 people to put their names forward within
:06:13. > :06:17.four hours, when they have difficult jobs and families, it
:06:17. > :06:20.really put a lump in the throat. And at a time when police are
:06:20. > :06:28.making savings, the role of the special constable is expected to
:06:28. > :06:33.become even more important. Staying with the riots, the faces
:06:33. > :06:36.of people wanted in connection with last week's disturbances in the
:06:36. > :06:43.north-west will appear in a Crimewatch Special tonight. Images
:06:43. > :06:46.of people taken during the public disorder will be shown during the
:06:46. > :06:51.programme on BBC One at 8:00am -- 8pm. There will also be new footage
:06:51. > :06:54.of people looting shops in Salford and Manchester. More news from
:06:54. > :06:59.around the north-west. The widow of a man killed by a shark in the
:06:59. > :07:08.Seychelles said they were told the water was shark free. Ian Nelson
:07:08. > :07:13.died after the -- Ian Redmond From Nelson died after he was attacked.
:07:13. > :07:19.I asked the lady on the reception if there were sharks and she said
:07:19. > :07:27.no, the Seychelles have very safe waters. One of the reasons we came
:07:27. > :07:30.here was the fact that the beautiful water, it is an
:07:30. > :07:36.underwater aquarium. The BBC understands that Manchester United
:07:36. > :07:39.are going to sell off a significant stake in the club up on the
:07:39. > :07:47.Singapore Stock Exchange. The Glazer family will raise several
:07:47. > :07:52.hundred pounds. -- several million pounds.
:07:52. > :07:58.Richard, is that why the Glazer family are doing this? To clear the
:07:58. > :08:04.debt? Certainly in part, yes, to try and
:08:04. > :08:10.pay off some of those debts, �550 million accrued since the Glazer
:08:10. > :08:14.family to call for in 2005. We understand they have lodged a
:08:14. > :08:19.listing application with the Singapore Stock Exchange. -- took
:08:19. > :08:24.over. We're not talking about a change of ownership. 30%, racing
:08:24. > :08:33.somewhere between 400 and �600 million. A huge amount of money
:08:33. > :08:38.that could be used to pay off those dents and bring in more players or
:08:38. > :08:42.even advance of a pass of the empire. There will be suspicion
:08:42. > :08:47.from supporters. Despite success on the pitch, you will notice a large
:08:47. > :08:51.number 19 on the front of Old Trafford, signifying the 19th title
:08:51. > :08:56.they won last season. Here is what a few supporters said to me a
:08:56. > :09:02.couple of moments ago. If it brings and the money, fair enough. Lots of
:09:02. > :09:07.shares. Lots of people. Possibly unnecessary. It depends how bad the
:09:07. > :09:12.situation is. You hope they will invest in other players and put
:09:12. > :09:19.money back into the club, rather than take money away. The reason I
:09:19. > :09:25.asked, I wondered if there might be something else to it, a potential
:09:25. > :09:29.sale in the Far East. Yes, there are other factors at work. It has
:09:29. > :09:35.been suggested that United want a bigger presence in a shaft than
:09:35. > :09:41.they already have. They already have 190 million fans in a share,
:09:41. > :09:44.300 million worldwide. There are many Asian fans in the area around
:09:45. > :09:50.today, taking pictures. There is the suggestion that there wanting
:09:50. > :10:00.to tap into that market. Also, they will get some estimate on the Stock
:10:00. > :10:04.Exchange, what it values United at. Richard, thank you very much.
:10:04. > :10:08.20 or 30 years ago, the brightest students seemed to do A-levels and
:10:08. > :10:14.those not so academically gifted tried for an apprenticeship. Today,
:10:14. > :10:17.as A-level results came out and with only a scramble for university
:10:17. > :10:20.places ahead of some of them, youngsters could be forgiven for
:10:20. > :10:27.thinking that getting an apprenticeship might be the clever
:10:27. > :10:30.choice after all. We have been meeting teenagers from both sides
:10:30. > :10:39.of the divide. The day of reckoning has arrived for students at
:10:39. > :10:44.Blackpool: She, collecting A-level results. I got three Bs. Are you
:10:44. > :10:48.pleased with your results? Yes. What are you going to do now?
:10:48. > :10:58.into uni! When they have the results, they have decisions to
:10:58. > :11:02.make. I got an A in maths and a C in physics. What are you going to
:11:02. > :11:06.do? I got exactly what I need. I should be straight into the
:11:06. > :11:09.University of by choice. Taking this place will cost him more than
:11:09. > :11:13.�3,000 a year in tuition fees. �3,000 a year in tuition fees.
:11:13. > :11:18.Adding in rent, food and living expenses, the annual total is more
:11:18. > :11:20.than �11,000. I do not feel that I am mentally capable of making the
:11:20. > :11:22.am mentally capable of making the leap to university just yet. I
:11:22. > :11:29.think of a weighty here, I will be think of a weighty here, I will be
:11:29. > :11:34.dedicated. That decision was cost her dear. -- I think if I wait
:11:34. > :11:38.another year. She will still have to live, bringing her annual bill
:11:38. > :11:42.to more than �17,000. Studying and to more than �17,000. Studying and
:11:42. > :11:44.passing exams is just part of the pressure facing students this year.
:11:44. > :11:48.Getting the right grade is essential if they want to be sure
:11:48. > :11:52.of securing their place at university this September. There is
:11:52. > :11:56.such an enormous competition for places. If they put it off, they
:11:56. > :12:02.will get a hike in tuition fees. But what options are there for
:12:02. > :12:06.those who do not want to go to university? They could consider an
:12:07. > :12:10.apprenticeship. Years ago, that might have been seen as a poor
:12:10. > :12:15.alternative to university. But not now, according to many of the
:12:15. > :12:19.current generation of apprentices at BAE Systems. When it came down
:12:19. > :12:26.to it, I got an offer from Lancaster University. The job offer
:12:26. > :12:29.here as well. I thought that this option provided a wage and still
:12:30. > :12:34.offers me development opportunities. Does it close the door on at a
:12:34. > :12:39.university degree? No. The apprenticeship opened many doors. I
:12:39. > :12:43.am doing a part-time degree now and BAE Systems has sponsored me for
:12:43. > :12:50.that. With the cost of learning rising, it is possible that there
:12:50. > :12:52.will be growing interest in the auction for an apprenticeship.
:12:52. > :12:56.Universities and colleges throughout the north-west have been
:12:56. > :13:03.fielding calls. They have just closed for the night. Jane Barrett
:13:03. > :13:07.was at Edge Hill. She has sent us this.
:13:07. > :13:11.This is the clearing Room at Edge Hill. Plenty of people manning the
:13:11. > :13:17.phones. Trying to put people together with the right course, no
:13:17. > :13:21.matter what their results were. It is was a scramble, days like today,
:13:21. > :13:25.to get people into courses. This year, more of a scramble, more
:13:25. > :13:35.frantic. It is not just about getting people into university, it
:13:35. > :13:36.
:13:36. > :13:43.is keeping them out of debt. We will chat briefly with Dr John
:13:43. > :13:47.Cater. How many courses did you have this morning? We probably had
:13:47. > :13:53.200 places available out of 2700 this morning. Now we perhaps have
:13:54. > :14:01.60 a 70 places. Behind your back, this is the sold board. No more
:14:01. > :14:05.courses in any of these subjects. Health, midwifery, all gone. Around
:14:05. > :14:11.here, let me introduce you to call Kingston, manning the phones all
:14:11. > :14:16.day today. Is there a sense of people being slightly more
:14:16. > :14:20.desperate this year? There has been a greater sense of urgency with the
:14:20. > :14:30.amount of phone calls that have common compared to last year. It is
:14:30. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:35.a definite increase. I think it is because of the fees. They need to
:14:35. > :14:40.getting to avoid the �9,000 a year? Definitely. There has been large
:14:40. > :14:44.quantities. Any tears today? There has been some excitement. I do not
:14:44. > :14:49.think there has been any tears, but there have been some very excited
:14:49. > :14:52.students. You have been holding your hands through it -- you have
:14:52. > :14:55.been holding their hands through it! Back to the Vice Chancellor,
:14:55. > :15:01.because there is this sense of urgency, is there a danger of
:15:01. > :15:05.people accepting the wrong course just to get in? Yes. I would advise
:15:05. > :15:08.them to stand back and reflect, to go to the university they are
:15:08. > :15:15.contemplating, to turn up by the open days. It is an important
:15:15. > :15:18.decision. Easier said than done. You are facing �9,000 a year. A
:15:18. > :15:24.media student will pay the same here as a law student would in
:15:24. > :15:28.Oxford. Will that put people off? do not think so. The application to
:15:28. > :15:32.study here has increased by 400% over the last nine years. Will it
:15:32. > :15:36.put people off in a few church? Official figures suggest there may
:15:36. > :15:41.be a downturn in applications next year but in the end, a graduate
:15:41. > :15:46.will typically end over -- earn more than �100,000 more in their
:15:46. > :15:49.lifetime. In a word, briefly, if someone is sat at home watching
:15:49. > :15:55.this and they think their life is over because they did not getting,
:15:55. > :16:01.what do you say? First of all, do not panic. Secondly, come and talk
:16:01. > :16:06.to the universe -- experts. We have an open day on Saturday. The phone
:16:06. > :16:12.lines will close in three minutes time, so back to Manchester.
:16:12. > :16:16.Good luck to everybody who was trying to move on to the next level.
:16:17. > :16:20.This is a much what -- must watch story. Imagine waking up and
:16:20. > :16:25.finding out that you had given birth to a baby without being
:16:25. > :16:30.conscious. Impossible? Well, that is exactly what happens to Lisa
:16:30. > :16:34.Boland from Hatfield. She was five months pregnant when she fell ill
:16:34. > :16:38.with swine flu. She slipped into a coma and did not we come for two
:16:38. > :16:43.months. Not only did she have to deal with a baby she did not know,
:16:43. > :16:46.but she also had to learn to walk, talk and eat again. I'm glad to say
:16:47. > :16:50.that she and her fiance and baby Samuel are here. You look like a
:16:50. > :16:58.perfect family. What an extraordinary and terrible thing
:16:58. > :17:06.you have been through. When you will come from the coma, what did
:17:06. > :17:10.you think? After have the baby, Mark had been telling me that I had
:17:10. > :17:16.had the baby while I was in the coma. Some of that must have
:17:16. > :17:19.registered because I was not shocked or surprised. He had
:17:19. > :17:25.photographs and he was showing me photographs of Sam. He said "This
:17:25. > :17:30.is our baby." And it was seven weeks after that you walk up? Was
:17:30. > :17:34.five weeks. I had a couple of weeks where I had a tracheotomy fitted --
:17:34. > :17:38.tracheostomy fitted. And you were hallucinating? It sounds quite
:17:38. > :17:46.scary. It was frightening. And your emotions must have been all over
:17:46. > :17:52.the place. He was you're fiancee lying in a coma. -- here was your
:17:52. > :17:59.fiancee. And suddenly the baby is being born. It was quite an amazing
:17:59. > :18:04.time. At the time of the birth, I was in the waiting room, just
:18:04. > :18:09.waiting for news. They prepared a earlier in case she had to have a
:18:09. > :18:14.Caesarean. But the baby was born naturally, and it was quite amazing.
:18:14. > :18:19.They say that is very rare for anyone to have a natural birth in a
:18:19. > :18:26.coma. I think it it happened once in the last decade. And obviously,
:18:26. > :18:30.you missed seven weeks of the baby. You had waited a long time for a
:18:30. > :18:33.baby and he missed seven weeks of his life. What was it like when he
:18:33. > :18:38.met him for the first time. first time I met him, it was quite
:18:38. > :18:43.difficult. I did not have an instant bond, which I found very
:18:43. > :18:48.difficult, because I had so many plans when I was pregnant, with how
:18:48. > :18:55.the birth was going to be. It was very difficult for me because the
:18:55. > :19:02.environment is quite scary. He was very poorly. He was not a healthy
:19:02. > :19:07.baby. He came home oxygen dependent. But now he looks the picture of
:19:07. > :19:10.health. He looks so much like his dad.
:19:11. > :19:18.Mark, is it right that for the whole seven weeks, you did not want
:19:18. > :19:22.anyone else to pick him up? Yes. I think it was the best thing for a
:19:22. > :19:27.lease up to have been the first person to cuddle and hold him. --
:19:27. > :19:32.for my wife. Three days after the birth, you proposed.
:19:32. > :19:41.When she came out of the coma, yeah. You had to learn how to love
:19:41. > :19:48.breeds? What happened, she asked me through one of the nurses. -- How
:19:48. > :19:52.to lip read. You do not remember! asked him, but he could not
:19:52. > :20:01.understand what I was saying because I could not speak. One of
:20:01. > :20:10.the nurses could lip-read and she said that he was -- I was asking
:20:10. > :20:17.him to marry me. He got down on one side of the bed. I am Welling up!
:20:17. > :20:21.Wonderful story. How was life now? Sam is getting
:20:22. > :20:25.there. My wife is still recovering. Hopefully we are on the right road.
:20:25. > :20:31.And you have had to learn how to walk and do everything again.
:20:31. > :20:34.and talk and set-up. Thank you for coming in ensuring that with us. --
:20:34. > :20:37.sit up. Good luck with everything.
:20:37. > :20:40.Would you go from that? I think we may have some tears and
:20:40. > :20:44.a minute. Next tonight, a man who went to
:20:44. > :20:49.court to try to get his dog back after his wife give it away has had
:20:49. > :20:54.his claim dismissed. He has had to pay 1500 pounds in costs. Days
:20:54. > :21:01.after they had handed over Bailey, a dachshund, Gary and Moira
:21:01. > :21:04.Rowlinson changed their minds. The new owner would not give them back.
:21:04. > :21:08.-- give him back. The couple were devastated.
:21:09. > :21:12.46 months, Bailey the dachshund has been at the centre of a custody
:21:12. > :21:17.battle. His original owners gave him away after he bit their
:21:17. > :21:20.granddaughter. -- for six months. Days later, they changed their mind
:21:20. > :21:25.but the owner would not give him back. They offered money, then took
:21:25. > :21:31.him to court. Today, the judge ruled that he now belongs to him
:21:31. > :21:38.and not them. We are devastated. This does not end here. We will
:21:38. > :21:43.never forget him. Whenever we see a similar dog, it will bring it back.
:21:43. > :21:48.A in court, Mr Robinson argued that while he was the leader owner, it
:21:48. > :21:52.was his wife who had given the dog away. -- legal owner. The new owner

:21:57. > :22:02.therefore agreed to it. Dismissing the claim, the judge
:22:02. > :22:07.said that he had given authority to his wife to give away the dog. He
:22:07. > :22:12.said that once given, such a gift could not be taken back. He also
:22:12. > :22:17.ordered Mr Robinson to pay almost 1500 pounds in costs. This
:22:17. > :22:22.afternoon, he told me he had to try to get the dog back. I knew it
:22:22. > :22:25.would cost me money. If there is any hope of getting Bailey back, I
:22:25. > :22:33.am resigned to spending their money. I would never have forgiven myself
:22:33. > :22:37.if I had just rolled over and said "Keep the dog". Bailey' Warner told
:22:37. > :22:44.last night that he is glad it is all over. The family say they will
:22:44. > :22:48.not be getting another dog for a long time, if ever again. --

:22:49. > :22:54.The rain has swept in this afternoon after a decent day.
:22:54. > :22:59.Here is the latest. It will not change too much. We warned you at
:22:59. > :23:06.the beginning of the week that the conditions would be changeable.
:23:06. > :23:10.That is how it has panned out. Over the next couple of days, Saturday -
:23:10. > :23:14.- over the next couple of days, that is how it is going to pan out.
:23:14. > :23:17.It might be light and patchy at the moment but Sunday looks like it is
:23:17. > :23:22.going to be better than Saturday with dry weather. There is room for
:23:22. > :23:27.change over the next 24 hours. We did not get it exactly right today.
:23:27. > :23:31.This area of rain has moved into the southern parts of the country.
:23:31. > :23:35.We thought it would get north to us but it did not. It has caused
:23:35. > :23:40.problems for the cricket in the south. The rain is waiting in the
:23:40. > :23:50.wings. While we did not see the bulk of that, there is new rain
:23:50. > :23:54.moving in. It has left Isle of Man, so the clearance has come through.
:23:55. > :24:00.Moving across the north-west of England. This is how the forecast
:24:01. > :24:04.picks it up. From time to time, one or two of the heavy bursts will be
:24:04. > :24:10.in parts of Cumbria. There is a warning that there could be up to
:24:10. > :24:14.40 mm of rain, room for localised flooding. By the time we get to
:24:14. > :24:17.midnight, it will be leaving us. Behind it, the cloud cover will
:24:17. > :24:24.break and the temperatures will fall away. Because there is so much
:24:24. > :24:29.moisture around, the visibility will not be brilliant for the first
:24:29. > :24:33.few hours. It is going to be cool as well, feeling autumnal. Away
:24:33. > :24:39.from that, it does not look too bad. Some reasonable spells of sunshine
:24:39. > :24:42.through the morning. Into the afternoon, cloud cover thickening.
:24:42. > :24:50.afternoon, cloud cover thickening. Not a bad day. Top temperature of
:24:50. > :24:56.Let us talk cows. Richard Park is paying a lot of attention to the
:24:57. > :25:01.way his career's walk. -- his cows. It is very important and his
:25:01. > :25:06.livelihood depends on it. He has invested thousands of pounds on new
:25:06. > :25:10.technology to make sure he does not miss a thing. We have been to Low
:25:10. > :25:18.Sizergh Farm to find out why. Richard Park is introducing me to
:25:18. > :25:21.his cows. They are getting to know me. This one is very friendly.
:25:21. > :25:30.Richard needs to know everything about them. Especially when they're
:25:30. > :25:35.ready to breed. To produce milk, a cow needs to have a calf. Ideally,
:25:35. > :25:40.it will have it naturally. Richard used to watch closely for signs
:25:41. > :25:45.that the animals were in season. I'm looking for them coming into
:25:45. > :25:51.season. I'm looking for a cow standing and another cow riding on
:25:51. > :25:57.top of her, pretending to be a bull. Delicately put. Richard cannot be
:25:57. > :26:00.watching them all the time. The answer, a pedometer. One sign of a
:26:00. > :26:08.cow being in season is that she suddenly starts to walk longer
:26:08. > :26:18.distances. I will put this around the front leg, gently. She cannot
:26:18. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:25.see what I'm doing. That is it. they mind having it on there?
:26:25. > :26:29.just like wearing a wrist watch. The results are scanned at milking
:26:29. > :26:35.time. She was going through her daily routine and then this spiking
:26:35. > :26:41.activity shows that she will be coming into season, and the cycle
:26:41. > :26:50.every 21 days, so we have another spike inactivity 21 days later.
:26:50. > :26:56.They should be ready to be inseminated next month.
:26:56. > :27:01.Only Stuart can tell that story! We still have our guests with us.
:27:01. > :27:07.Lisa, you want to say a special thank you. I want to thank the
:27:07. > :27:12.staff at both hospitals that looked after us while I was in the coma.
:27:12. > :27:20.The care was amazed in. One is the wedding? As soon as we can afford
:27:20. > :27:26.it. Really?! Are you planning a big get together? Yes. I cannot believe
