:00:08. > :00:17.Simms. Our top story. Fighting fit. 100-year-old Dorothy thanks her
:00:17. > :00:23.doctors as she becomes the world's oldest breast surgery patient.
:00:23. > :00:26.think this story is inspiring. delighted doctors say they were
:00:26. > :00:36.right to operate and say she could become an inspiration to woman of
:00:36. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:39.every age. Also tonight.
:00:39. > :00:42.Tributes to the drowned teenage girl and her boyfriend missing off
:00:42. > :00:45.the Wirral coast. The police search for him continues.
:00:45. > :00:50.Back home for Eid. 7-year-old Qasim who lost his parents and siblings
:00:50. > :00:54.in a car crash in Pakistan. I was his brother, now I am his father.
:00:54. > :01:04.And a whole new ball game. The self-promo video that may help Owen
:01:04. > :01:16.
:01:17. > :01:19.Also tonight. Happier times at the now derelict Lido in Grange-over
:01:19. > :01:21.Sands. It's received listed building status, but some want it
:01:21. > :01:24.redeveloped. Well, if you've ever been there or
:01:24. > :01:27.have fond memories of another outdoor pool in the region, we'd
:01:27. > :01:32.like to hear from you. Get in touch via email, twitter or Facebook and
:01:32. > :01:34.we'll read out some of your stories at the end of the programme.
:01:34. > :01:37.$WHITE When great-great-grandmother Dorothy Affleck, from Hyde, was
:01:37. > :01:44.told she had breast cancer, she thought she would be too old to be
:01:44. > :01:47.offered surgery. Dorothy was 99 when she was diagnosed last summer.
:01:47. > :01:50.But doctors at Tameside Hospital said her age was not a factor in
:01:50. > :01:53.having an operation. They believe Dorothy, who is now 100, is the
:01:53. > :02:03.oldest person to have breast cancer surgery. Today, she went back to
:02:03. > :02:06.find out if it was successful and Abbie Jones went with her.
:02:06. > :02:09.It is now a year since Dorothy Affleck had her operation at
:02:09. > :02:13.Tameside Hospital. But the memory of being told she had cancer is
:02:13. > :02:23.still raw. I thought it would just be months of suffering. I was
:02:23. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:27.frightened. Then I met the surgeon, he was so confident he could do the
:02:27. > :02:34.operation. People said not to have But Dorothy's consultant didn't
:02:34. > :02:38.agree. Her cancer was aggressive. Surgery, the only option. Last
:02:38. > :02:41.August, she had a lump removed from her breast. Because she was 99, she
:02:41. > :02:48.had a local rather than a general anaesthetic. But apart from that,
:02:48. > :02:55.her doctor says her age wasn't a factor. It was never on my mind. In
:02:55. > :03:01.fact, when I presented the case in are up team meeting, I just said
:03:01. > :03:03.that physiological issues were as good as anyone in their late
:03:03. > :03:11.Seventies. So now, time for the moment of
:03:12. > :03:21.truth. You do not have any sign of disease. Thank you very, very much.
:03:22. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:26.You are welcome. Dorothy is in remission. She cannot
:03:26. > :03:29.technically get the all clear for another four years. But her
:03:29. > :03:34.consultant says she's a success story. I think the case is
:03:34. > :03:40.inspiring. It will encourage other people to come to the hospital.
:03:40. > :03:45.Dorothy has now become a bit of a celebrity. She says the fuss is
:03:45. > :03:50.worth it if it encourages other patients, and doctors. Just love
:03:50. > :03:51.life and enjoy it. Abbie Jones, BBC North West Tonight, Tameside
:03:51. > :03:54.Hospital. Police are still searching for a
:03:54. > :03:58.young man from Merseyside whose teenage girlfriend drowned off the
:03:58. > :04:01.Wirral coast. Hayley Holmes's body was found at New Brighton on Monday.
:04:01. > :04:04.Shoes belonging to the couple were found near the beach. A friend of
:04:04. > :04:07.Hayley's says she should have been away at the weekend but someone
:04:07. > :04:17.stole a ticket she had for a festival. Our Merseyside Reporter,
:04:17. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:27.Andy Gill, is at New Brighton now. You can see behind me the floral
:04:27. > :04:32.tributes to Hayley. It is a lovely evening here. The tides and the
:04:32. > :04:38.current here at New Brighton can be very dangerous. That is why the
:04:38. > :04:43.police are very concerned for the safety of Hayley's boyfriend. Ahmed
:04:43. > :04:45.of the holidaymakers and laughing children, forensic keep a grim a
:04:45. > :04:52.vigil for one my right honourable friend is dead and another is
:04:52. > :05:00.missing. Hayley's body was found on the beach on Monday, she had
:05:00. > :05:04.drowned. Shoes belonging to her and her boyfriend were found near by.
:05:04. > :05:09.John is a close my right honourable friend and spent it hours on the
:05:09. > :05:17.beach waiting for news. I have never felt so bad. I have never
:05:17. > :05:21.felt so low. The couple had not been going out very long postop
:05:21. > :05:24.they had been at a music festival on Sunday before going to the beach
:05:24. > :05:28.of that night. A my right honourable friend of the Hayley's
:05:28. > :05:35.had said she should have been a way at home at a music festival, but
:05:35. > :05:41.somebody had stolen her ticket. It is horrible. She should not even
:05:41. > :05:47.had been you. Somebody stole her ticket. I police say that the
:05:47. > :05:57.search for Robbie is carrying on. We have a number of searches going
:05:57. > :05:57.
:05:57. > :06:00.on. We are linking him with other agencies to assist us. Relations of
:06:00. > :06:04.Robbie work at the scene at this afternoon but were too upset to
:06:04. > :06:10.talk. Police say they were keeping an open mind as to whether he went
:06:10. > :06:14.into the water as well. One line of enquiry that the police are
:06:14. > :06:19.pursuing concerns at this hotel behind me. This was full on Monday
:06:19. > :06:23.night, the night that the couple came down to the beach. Police are
:06:23. > :06:27.they there might have been witnesses who saw them on the beach.
:06:28. > :06:37.If anyone was staying in this hotel, Merseyside police are urging them
:06:38. > :06:42.
:06:42. > :06:45.to get in touch. For the moment, the search goes on.
:06:45. > :06:48.Merseyside Police have launched a murder investigation after a man
:06:48. > :06:51.was shot in Liverpool last night. The 25-year-old was found dying in
:06:51. > :06:54.the street with a single gunshot wound to the head on Brayfield Road
:06:54. > :06:57.in Norris Green. Police believe it was a targeted attack. They are
:06:57. > :07:00.also investigating whether his death is connected to an earlier
:07:00. > :07:03.incident in the area. We are keeping an open mind, but the
:07:03. > :07:13.incidents were very close by in a short space time, so I think they
:07:13. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:19.are certainly related. A motorcyclist has died at the Manx
:07:19. > :07:22.Grand Prix festival on the Isle of Man. Adam Easton, who was 71 and
:07:22. > :07:25.from Scotland, was killed in a crash while racing today. He is the
:07:25. > :07:27.third motorcyclist to die during the festival, which started just
:07:27. > :07:30.over a week ago. People in Ellesmere Port have been
:07:30. > :07:33.given the chance to look around the town's new multi-million pound
:07:33. > :07:36.college today. The Sutton Way campus is part of West Cheshire
:07:36. > :07:44.College and cost �65 million. It opens to students on Monday and
:07:44. > :07:47.offers vocational courses in creative and service industries.
:07:47. > :07:52.have a building a matches our ambition, which is that students
:07:52. > :07:55.get a job. Students must get a job, not just any old job but the job
:07:55. > :07:58.they want. This building will help them get those jobs. We used to
:07:58. > :08:02.teach in classrooms but you cannot teach vocational subjects as
:08:02. > :08:04.successfully in a classroom as in buildings like this.
:08:04. > :08:08.A collection of Viking coins and other artefacts unearthed in
:08:08. > :08:11.Cumbria last month has been formally declared as treasure. A
:08:11. > :08:14.metal detectorist found the items, known as the Furness Hoard, at a
:08:14. > :08:21.secret location on the Peninsular. Since then, the hoard has been
:08:21. > :08:24.under the scrutiny of experts at the British Museum.
:08:24. > :08:27.When Sabina Akhtar's husband beat her and threatened to kill her, she
:08:27. > :08:29.reported him to the police. But he was never charged. A few months
:08:29. > :08:32.later, he returned to her Manchester home and killed her.
:08:32. > :08:35.Today, a coroner has decided to reopen an inquest into Sabina's
:08:35. > :08:38.death following a legal challenge by her family. We'll hear more from
:08:38. > :08:42.their solicitor in a few moments. But first, Rachel Foley has this
:08:43. > :08:46.report. Sabina Akhtar lived in fear of her
:08:46. > :08:49.husband. Two months before her death, she told police he had
:08:49. > :08:52.assaulted her and threatened to kill her. Malik Mannan was arrested
:08:52. > :08:58.twice but never charged, even when he breached bail conditions that
:08:58. > :09:01.said he couldn't contact her. Then in September 2008, he forced his
:09:01. > :09:04.way into her home in Levenshulme and stabbed her through the heart.
:09:04. > :09:07.He's now serving a life sentence for her murder. Ms Akhtar's family
:09:07. > :09:12.received a formal apology from the Crown Prosecution Service who say
:09:12. > :09:15.they were wrong not to charge Malik Mannan earlier. Today, the
:09:15. > :09:18.Manchester coroner announced an inquest into Ms Akhtar's death will
:09:18. > :09:22.reopen. It will examine whether decisions made by the police and
:09:22. > :09:28.the CPS in the months before her death could have breached her human
:09:28. > :09:31.right to life. Rachel Foley, BBC North West Tonight.
:09:31. > :09:39.Well, earlier I spoke to the Akhtar family solicitor Matthew Gold and
:09:39. > :09:42.asked how they had reacted to the news her inquest was to be reopened.
:09:42. > :09:44.They are really pleased because for the first time, there will be a
:09:44. > :09:47.full investigation by the coroner into the circumstances around
:09:47. > :09:50.Sabina's death. The Crown Prosecution Service has already
:09:50. > :09:52.apologised to the family and, in light of that, the Independent
:09:52. > :10:00.Police Complaints Commission has said it will not pursue an
:10:00. > :10:03.investigation. What do you hope reopening the inquest will do?
:10:03. > :10:07.family want to establish what happened after Sabina, in July 2008,
:10:07. > :10:09.went to the police, a very big step for her to take, and made a full
:10:09. > :10:14.detailed statement of the threats to kill, the violence against her
:10:14. > :10:16.and her son by her very dangerous husband. She went to the police for
:10:16. > :10:19.protection, the police did not provide her with the level of
:10:19. > :10:24.protection she was entitled to. this just about blaming someone?
:10:24. > :10:27.is not about blaming anyone really. In place at the time, the police
:10:27. > :10:30.had a domestic violence policy. That was designed for various steps
:10:30. > :10:35.to be put in place, for risk assessments to take place in order
:10:35. > :10:41.that the police and other agencies could have better protected her.
:10:41. > :10:51.gather it is quite unusual for an inquest to be reopened. It is. I
:10:51. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:56.they get is unusual but a bigot has taken place before. I believe legal
:10:56. > :11:04.action has already been taken against the police? Yes, a civil
:11:04. > :11:07.case is being issued in London. It includes an allegation that her
:11:07. > :11:10.right to life was breached because the police did not protect her when
:11:10. > :11:20.they should have done from a known violent individual, her husband.
:11:20. > :11:28.
:11:28. > :11:34.Thank you. Eight months ago, Qasim was enough
:11:34. > :11:37.horrific accident in Pakistan. Like thousands of Muslims across the
:11:37. > :11:40.North West, 7-year-old Qasim Akbar is celebrating Eid today. But his
:11:40. > :11:43.relatives in Blackburn didn't think he'd make it after a bitter custody
:11:43. > :11:46.battle. Qasim's parents died in a car crash in Pakistan and he spent
:11:46. > :11:49.eight months there before his elder brother could bring him home. Nazia
:11:49. > :11:52.Mogra has the story. The Eid feast marks the end of a
:11:52. > :11:55.month of fasting. The meal is a time for families to come together.
:11:55. > :11:59.This year, Qasim is spending it with the only close family he's got
:11:59. > :12:02.left - his half-brother. Now I am his father. I will try my best to
:12:02. > :12:04.be a father and a brother. We will make sure that we can give him lots
:12:04. > :12:07.of lovely. He always talks about the good times with his family.
:12:08. > :12:11.Qasim's parents and two sisters died on New Year's Day in a car
:12:11. > :12:14.crash in Pakistan. Qasim was in the back of the car and the only person
:12:14. > :12:17.to survive. He was bruised, but otherwise unhurt. His half-brother
:12:17. > :12:20.flew out straight away to bring him home to Lancashire, but family
:12:20. > :12:30.friends in Pakistan wanted to keep him. What followed was a bitter
:12:30. > :12:35.
:12:35. > :12:38.custody battle. It has taken me nearly nine months. But this is
:12:38. > :12:43.they will be person I have left as a brother or sister so I was not
:12:43. > :12:48.going to leave him. I am happy that he is here with me. He we are all
:12:48. > :12:55.happy. All his friends and family. He has settled down well. He is
:12:55. > :12:58.playing. Everything is new for him. But it is really good.
:12:58. > :13:08.In a few weeks, he will be starting school again. With his family
:13:08. > :13:09.
:13:09. > :13:13.behind him, Qasim hopes one day he can become a cricketer.
:13:13. > :13:21.Still to come in North West Tonight. A whole new ball game - the self-
:13:21. > :13:29.promo video that may help Owen Hargreaves move across the City.
:13:29. > :13:35.the end we all hope that he can get back to his best. Add open-water,
:13:35. > :13:45.winning medals and a wedding. It is a big make your next you for Kerry
:13:45. > :13:47.
:13:47. > :13:51.Depending on your view, the now derelict Lido at Grange over Sands
:13:51. > :13:53.in Cumbria is either a faded art deco gem, or a blot on the
:13:53. > :13:55.landscape. Many will have happy childhood memories of swimming
:13:55. > :13:58.there in the open air. Well, English Heritage has decided
:13:58. > :14:03.it should be listed as historically important. Great news for some, but
:14:03. > :14:12.not for developers who fear the move will scupper development plans.
:14:12. > :14:18.Peter Marshall reports. The location is wonderful, but many
:14:18. > :14:20.people now say that this place has fallen down. It has seen better
:14:20. > :14:23.days. Nowadays, it's a lido that's not
:14:23. > :14:26.much to look at. Derelict since 1992, what a difference a few
:14:26. > :14:32.decades can make. This was it in the '30s when it attracted
:14:32. > :14:36.thousands. Even in the '70s, it was the place to be. Memories of this
:14:36. > :14:42.place is going swimming with our brother, serving in freezing cold
:14:42. > :14:49.to see water but loving it. There was always busy. Should it be
:14:49. > :14:52.listed? I do not think it needs listed, it is not a thing of beauty.
:14:52. > :14:55.And that's the big issue according to Jonathan Denby, a prominent
:14:55. > :14:58.hotelier who featured in the recent Channel 4 documentary The Hotel.
:14:58. > :15:05.He's part of a development partnership which wants to fill the
:15:05. > :15:08.lido in and turn it into a garden and cafe complex. He claims any
:15:08. > :15:11.thought of re-opening it as an open air pool are pie in the sky.
:15:11. > :15:15.The developers fear listing the lido and its buildings will make
:15:15. > :15:21.their plans impossible. Can you imagine that they would have the
:15:21. > :15:27.funds to keep this enormous structure going? A you do not think
:15:27. > :15:37.it would happen? There is no chance of that happening. This listing is
:15:37. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:45.wrong. It is hard to mention it ever returning to the height of the
:15:45. > :15:50.past, but it still encourages strong passions. It is heritage. It
:15:50. > :15:59.is part of the cultural heritage of this area. We have always had a
:15:59. > :16:07.swimming pool here, it will always be used. Developers say they will
:16:07. > :16:11.challenge the listing. I know I have lots of happy
:16:11. > :16:14.memories of soaring pools. And lots of you have been sending us your
:16:14. > :16:24.memories of lidos. We'll be reading some of them out at the end of the
:16:24. > :16:27.programme. Sport now and Graham Liver's here. And a long night
:16:27. > :16:30.ahead for you. It's transfer deadline day. No fan or manager can
:16:30. > :16:33.relax till 11 o'clock tonight. A day of rumours and gossip but at
:16:33. > :16:36.least it looks like Manchester City are going to get Owen Hargreaves.
:16:36. > :16:39.Still waiting for confirmation from City about the signing. The 30-
:16:39. > :16:42.year-old was released by Manchester United this summer. He came to Old
:16:42. > :16:45.Trafford after being England's star performer in the World Cup in
:16:45. > :16:48.Germany, signing from Bayern Munich for �18 million. He played in
:16:48. > :16:51.United's 2008 Champions League victory. After that, the injuries
:16:51. > :16:59.struck. He made just four appearences in the last three
:16:59. > :17:02.seasons, playing just 11 minutes in the last two years.
:17:02. > :17:05.What else has been happening? I gather Joe Cole's on his way to
:17:05. > :17:07.France. And it looks like Everton are going to completely change
:17:07. > :17:11.their strikeforce? Liverpool never really worked for
:17:11. > :17:18.Joe Cole. He's off to Lille on a season-long loan. At Everton, they
:17:18. > :17:21.might be bringing a striker in. They have accepted a �4 million bid
:17:21. > :17:27.from Leicester for striker Jermaine Beckford. And it looks like Yacubu
:17:27. > :17:29.is leaving Goodison to join Blackburn Rovers.
:17:29. > :17:32.Rounding up today's transfer news, here's Liam O'Donoghue.
:17:32. > :17:35.Arguably England's best player in the 2006 World Cup, Owen Hargreaves
:17:35. > :17:41.is so desperate to play again, he's put up a film on YouTube to prove
:17:41. > :17:44.his fitness. After surgery on both knees and two years out injured,
:17:44. > :17:49.Hargreaves lasted only five minutes when he finally returned to the
:17:49. > :17:59.Manchester United line-up last November. United let him go. City
:17:59. > :18:03.
:18:03. > :18:12.might resurrect his career. When he is fully fit, he is a great player.
:18:12. > :18:16.We all hope he can get back to his best. There may be a little bit of
:18:16. > :18:26.sour grapes, but all the best to them. If he does well, he deserves
:18:26. > :18:26.
:18:26. > :18:29.it. If he is on pay as you play, you cannot lose.
:18:29. > :18:32.How has Joe Cole gone from scoring fantastic goals like this to
:18:32. > :18:35.becoming an Anfield reject? A Roy Hodgson signing, he too has
:18:35. > :18:39.suffered from injuries. Kenny Dalglish is loaning him to French
:18:39. > :18:46.side Lille for the season. Cole out, Coates in. The huge young Uruguayan
:18:46. > :18:48.defender joins compatriot Luis Suarez at Liverpool. Only 15 months
:18:48. > :18:53.after signing Jermaine Beckford from Leeds, Everton have sold him
:18:53. > :18:58.to Sven's Leicester for around �4 million. Yakubu could be on his way
:18:58. > :19:08.to Blackburn. Replacing him could be 6 foot 7 tall Denis Stracqualani
:19:08. > :19:09.
:19:09. > :19:12.from Argentinian side Tigre. Arsenal are reported it to her bed
:19:12. > :19:14.for Miguel Arteta. Back at Manchester City, a fee's been
:19:15. > :19:24.agreed to seal Shaun Wright- Phillips to Queens Park Rangers
:19:25. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:31.player, and Craig Bellamy could be heading there too.
:19:31. > :19:35.Wigan have played busy today as well they have Broughton a couple
:19:35. > :19:38.of winners including Shaun Maloney from Celtic.
:19:38. > :19:41.One player also on the move is Bury's Ryan Lowe who has joined
:19:41. > :19:44.Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee. Lowe scored 28
:19:44. > :19:47.goals for the Shakers last season, nine of which came in consecutive
