:00:09. > :00:14.Good evening. Welcome to North-West Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Tony
:00:14. > :00:16.Livesey. Our top story: Freed from a living
:00:16. > :00:19.hell, now Stepping Hill nurse Rebecca Leighton says she wants to
:00:19. > :00:22.clear her name professionally. And why Greater Manchester's police
:00:22. > :00:24.chief is backing calls for those accused of crimes not to be named.
:00:24. > :00:29.Also tonight: The politically incorrect job advert which
:00:29. > :00:32.suggested equal opportunities are a load of rubbish!
:00:32. > :00:42.Climb every mountain - a 10-year- old scales 283 of Scotland's
:00:42. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:48.highest peaks and enjoys almost every minute of it.
:00:48. > :00:51.Can cure a member? That was when I didn't want to see a mountain again.
:00:51. > :00:53.The show must go on - the theatre that has hosted Stan Laurel,
:00:54. > :00:56.Charlie Chaplin, and Ken Dodd celebrates its centenary. We will
:00:56. > :01:05.have more on those centenary celebrations later, but we want to
:01:05. > :01:15.know the best act you've ever seen live on stage. Contact us by email,
:01:15. > :01:23.
:01:23. > :01:25.Facebook and Twitter and we'll read The nurse who was arrested during
:01:25. > :01:28.the investigation into the deaths of patients at Stepping Hill
:01:28. > :01:32.Hospital in Stockport says she now wants to clear her name
:01:32. > :01:36.professionally. Rebecca Leighton was released from custody on Friday
:01:36. > :01:38.after charges against her were dropped. Meanwhile, the Chief
:01:38. > :01:40.Constable of Greater Manchester Police has backed a call for
:01:40. > :01:48.anonymity for people accused of crimes. Our health correspondent,
:01:48. > :01:57.Laura Yates, is at Stepping Hill hospital for us now. Laura, what
:01:57. > :02:02.more do we know about Rebecca Leighton's plans? It has been a
:02:02. > :02:12.three-day since Rebecca Leighton was released. She is considering
:02:12. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:18.what to do next. We know that there has been no decision yet from her
:02:18. > :02:26.solicitor whether she will sue the police for wrongful arrest. She is
:02:26. > :02:36.now wanting to cure herself professionally. At the moment she
:02:36. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:49.is still suspended from nursing. There has been a lot of talk about
:02:49. > :02:52.whether suspects should remain anonymous... There has been a lot
:02:52. > :02:54.of talk in the wake of this case about whether suspects should
:02:54. > :02:57.remain anonymous, and today the Chief Constable of Greater
:02:57. > :03:00.Manchester Police has backed these calls, hasn't he? there has been a
:03:00. > :03:06.lot of debate on that issue. Should a suspect's been named and they are
:03:06. > :03:16.arrested, charged or if there case goes to trial? It that it happen,
:03:16. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:22.we would never have known the name of Rebecca Leighton. It is really
:03:22. > :03:28.difficult when you see senior detectives agonising over to make -
:03:28. > :03:32.- over whether to make an arrest or not and they have to think about
:03:32. > :03:39.this, about whether somebody's name could be completely ruined. If you
:03:39. > :03:46.think about the case in Bristol, then it landlord got horribly
:03:46. > :03:50.treated so because his name come out to the press. I don't think any
:03:50. > :03:55.name should be released until they are charged. The police
:03:55. > :04:00.investigation continues here. They are looking at 40 cases of
:04:00. > :04:06.contaminated saline and they have a list of 700 people took see and
:04:07. > :04:16.they are not even have quit through that list.
:04:16. > :04:18.More from the North-West now and a mother from Manchester has become
:04:18. > :04:21.the first to be successfully prosecuted for fraud for claiming
:04:21. > :04:24.child maintenance for her son who wasn't living with her. Victoria
:04:24. > :04:27.Hitchen, from Irlam, told the Child Support Agency she was the boy's
:04:27. > :04:30.main carer when she was living in Spain. She passed the payments to
:04:30. > :04:33.her parents, who the child lived with, but the judge said she had
:04:33. > :04:36.brought the prosecution on herself by not being honest.
:04:36. > :04:39.A legal challenge to plans by Lancashire County Council to reduce
:04:39. > :04:41.its care budget has failed in the High Court. The challenge was
:04:41. > :04:46.backed by various disability organisations but a judge ruled
:04:46. > :04:49.that the authority had not acted improperly in making savings.
:04:49. > :04:52.A man who was murdered in Bury yesterday has been named as Brian
:04:52. > :04:56.Gavigan. The 48-year-old was found at his home on Merton Road in
:04:56. > :05:00.Prestwich with multiple injuries to his head and body. A 27-year-old
:05:00. > :05:03.man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
:05:03. > :05:07.A hospital in Merseyside has had to hurriedly remove a job advert from
:05:07. > :05:10.its website. The posting referred to what it called, the usual
:05:10. > :05:13.rubbish about equal opportunities. The hospital trust immediately
:05:13. > :05:16.replaced it with a politically correct version. But a local MEP,
:05:16. > :05:18.who discovered the mistake, says they should have stuck with the
:05:18. > :05:24.original, describing equal opportunities legislation as a
:05:24. > :05:27.waste of time and money. Stuart Flinders reports. Town halls,
:05:27. > :05:31.hospitals and other public bodies go to great lengths to make sure
:05:31. > :05:34.they don't discriminate on the grounds of race, creed or religion.
:05:34. > :05:36.So how did this happen? Instead of declaring itself an equal
:05:36. > :05:39.opportunities employer, the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals
:05:39. > :05:47.Trust referred to "the usual rubbish about equal opportunities"
:05:47. > :05:50.when advertising for an anaesthetist. A new advert replaced
:05:50. > :05:53.the offending words with,"We are committed to promoting equality and
:05:53. > :06:03.diversity". The mistake was discovered by Paul Nuttal,
:06:03. > :06:08.Merseysidee MEP for the UK Independence Party. It has been an
:06:08. > :06:13.oversight by the hospital, but I think they're right in many ways
:06:13. > :06:19.because this equality legislation, much of which are driven from the
:06:19. > :06:23.European Union, is absolute nonsense. It is about insuring that
:06:23. > :06:31.you have a certain number of people of certain types in various roles.
:06:31. > :06:36.It is wrong. The hospital has given us a statement saying that the
:06:36. > :06:40.advert in no way reflects the views of the trust on equal-opportunities,
:06:40. > :06:43.to which we are fully committed. Paual Keaveney, a lecturer in PR
:06:43. > :06:47.and leader of Liverpool council's Lib Dems, says the mistake could
:06:47. > :06:51.damage the Trust's reputation. is an institution where we expect
:06:51. > :06:56.precision. If you're going to have an operation you want things to
:06:56. > :07:00.cope properly, don't you? Not good for an organisation like that to
:07:01. > :07:05.show a level of carelessness. an embarrassment for the Trust,
:07:05. > :07:08.which has won an award as a diversity champion.
:07:08. > :07:11.Liverpool's busiest train station will shut for four months next year
:07:11. > :07:14.as part of a �40 million overhaul of the city's underground stops.
:07:14. > :07:16.Merseyrail has announced �20 million will be spent on Central
:07:16. > :07:22.Station, adding another lift, fitting new escalators, and
:07:22. > :07:25.improving the platforms and toilets. A further �20 million will be
:07:25. > :07:29.invested in four other stations. Work will begin next month and
:07:29. > :07:32.passengers say they are looking forward to seeing the improvements.
:07:32. > :07:37.A rare church organ has been silenced after thieves stripped
:07:37. > :07:40.lead from the roof above it. Water poured through the ceiling at St
:07:40. > :07:43.Thomas' Church in Leigh causing around �200,000-worth of damage.
:07:43. > :07:48.It's the latest in a wave of attacks on historic buildings in
:07:48. > :07:50.the North West as the price of metal continues to attract thieves.
:07:50. > :08:00.The church says the organ is irreplaceable. Our environment
:08:00. > :08:03.correspondent, Colin Sykes, reports. It has been described as the Rolls-
:08:03. > :08:10.Royce of church organs, and probably worth about three-quarters
:08:10. > :08:15.of a million pounds. But, this organ is silent today because
:08:15. > :08:19.thieves have stolen the lead from up there. There was heavy rain
:08:19. > :08:27.which poured straight down here into the pipe chamber. It has
:08:27. > :08:31.caused terrible damage and will cost up to �200,000 to put rice.
:08:31. > :08:34.Dashed to put right. Water has seeped into the wood and electrics
:08:34. > :08:37.of the handmade organ which has been played by nearly every
:08:37. > :08:40.cathedral organist in the country. It will have to be rebuilt from
:08:40. > :08:43.scratch, if the church can raise the money. It is heartbreaking to
:08:43. > :08:50.think that idiots can steal a bit of lead that they will not get much
:08:50. > :08:53.for it, maybe 80 or �90, but for the community it is devastating.
:08:53. > :08:56.While the organ is out of action the congregation are having to rely
:08:56. > :09:02.on recordings of it for services. Ecclesiatical insurance will only
:09:02. > :09:09.cover a fraction of the repairs. This is just heartbreaking to think
:09:09. > :09:11.that we have got such a massive amount of money to try and find.
:09:11. > :09:14.Historic buildings are offering rich pickings for lead thieves.
:09:14. > :09:16.Elizabeth Gaskell's home in Manchester was the latest to be
:09:16. > :09:19.stripped. St Thomas' roof is being recovered with mineralised felt,
:09:19. > :09:28.which doesn't have the same value as lead. The church is calling for
:09:28. > :09:33.new rules to make it harder for thieves to dispose of stolen metal.
:09:33. > :09:41.Still to come in North West Tonight: Ben the Conquerer - the
:09:41. > :09:44.10-year-old who has climbed over 283 of Scotland's highest peaks.
:09:44. > :09:54.100 years of theatre greats - Crewe Lyceum raises the curtain on its
:09:54. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:01.centenary celebrations. It was a place for people to meet, make
:10:01. > :10:10.friends, and there is no were left for young actors to learn their
:10:10. > :10:12.craft. Now, all this week we are looking
:10:12. > :10:15.at autism. It is a lifelong developmental disability which
:10:15. > :10:25.effects how a person communicates and relates to the world around
:10:25. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:30.them. 70,000 people here in the North West live with the condition.
:10:30. > :10:38.But, as Kate Simms has been finding out, getting a diagnosis can be
:10:38. > :10:44.much harder than you would think. Eight this is Callum on a good day.
:10:44. > :10:52.The meticulous order of this football cards is a classic example
:10:52. > :10:58.of his disorder. This is Callum on a bad day. His mum says he can get
:10:58. > :11:04.much worse. A living with him can be quite difficult. It is like
:11:04. > :11:09.living with Jekyll and Hyde sometimes. He can be quite violent
:11:10. > :11:17.acts one minutes, and then what you would class as a normal child, I
:11:17. > :11:22.suppose. He gets quite violent. Sometimes it is like having a top
:11:22. > :11:31.dollar. Three years ago as Callum's family was told that he could have
:11:31. > :11:35.Asperger's syndrome. They say they are still waiting for any support.
:11:35. > :11:40.We're on the waiting list, which is at three or four year waiting-list.
:11:40. > :11:44.Trying to get access to things if he doesn't have the statement or
:11:45. > :11:48.proper diagnosis can be very difficult as well. Without a
:11:48. > :11:54.diagnosis or a statement his family said that accessing any support at
:11:54. > :12:01.home or at school is a struggle. But his case is far from isolated.
:12:01. > :12:07.Dylan's family had a five-year wait for a diagnosis for Asperger's
:12:07. > :12:12.syndrome. You fight to get on to the waiting list for, then you wait
:12:12. > :12:18.on the waiting list. While all that is going on you have of people
:12:18. > :12:26.perceive to be a really naughty child. Once he got a diagnosis,
:12:26. > :12:36.Dylan's family say like begin very different. We once you get the
:12:36. > :12:36.
:12:36. > :12:41.diagnosis, I would like to say it opens a whole level of support, but
:12:41. > :12:46.this support is very limited. But because you can do what you're
:12:46. > :12:53.dealing with, you can start doing your research into how you deal
:12:53. > :13:03.with that. Callum's family are still waiting. A spokesperson for
:13:03. > :13:11.
:13:11. > :13:18.Despite that reassurance, Callum's family say that the future without
:13:18. > :13:24.as statement or diagnosis is very daunting. Without a statement or a
:13:24. > :13:31.fully - - a full diagnosis, we are very scared about what high school
:13:31. > :13:40.would be for him. I probably wouldn't send him.
:13:40. > :13:44.Mari Saeki is from the National Autistic Society. Family say they
:13:44. > :13:49.can access help about the statements or a diagnosis, yet they
:13:49. > :13:54.help the did he say you don't need it. Who is right? Interior should
:13:54. > :13:58.be based on need, not the diagnosis, but in actual fact that diagnosis
:13:58. > :14:01.is very necessary partly because, as the families were saying, they
:14:01. > :14:07.need to know what the issues are and they need to have something
:14:07. > :14:10.they can tell family and friends. As the child grows up, he needs to
:14:10. > :14:17.understand what his condition is. They have been waiting for years to
:14:17. > :14:23.get this diagnosis. Is there a reluctance for doctors to put that
:14:23. > :14:30.label on a child or are there not enough experts? It is a number of
:14:30. > :14:36.things. Sometimes it can be to delay in parents being believes in
:14:36. > :14:41.the first place. They may be going to doctors, talking to health
:14:41. > :14:49.visitors, but at that particular moment they may not be seeing does
:14:49. > :14:53.very difficult behaviours. What can families do, practically? To get a
:14:53. > :14:57.diagnosis, one of the things you would advise is to get some
:14:57. > :15:01.thoughts down on paper about why they might feel that the child has
:15:01. > :15:08.some difficulties in that area. That is a helpful place to start.
:15:08. > :15:13.And then request strongly that you want to be referred on to the
:15:13. > :15:18.diagnostic pathways locally. just society is there are also.
:15:18. > :15:25.That's right, we are there. There is lots of information on our
:15:25. > :15:28.website. Tomorrow, Kate will be talking to
:15:28. > :15:31.parents who say there is not enough education provision for children
:15:31. > :15:34.with autism. A 10-year-old boy from Cumbria has
:15:34. > :15:40.become the youngest person to climb every one of the 283 peaks in
:15:40. > :15:43.Scotland higher than 3,000 feet. With the help of his dad, Ben
:15:43. > :15:53.Fleetwood from Kendal took just over three years to conquer the
:15:53. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :16:00.Munro mountains. Peter Marshall went to meet him.
:16:00. > :16:03.She is a boy who set a blistering pace. At the age of 10 men
:16:03. > :16:10.Fleetwood has worn out more walking boots than many get three in a
:16:10. > :16:17.lifetime. The sense of challenge that you get from doing it. I like
:16:17. > :16:24.climbing on to rocks. It is nights - - nice to get away from the towns.
:16:24. > :16:27.The Kurdistan hard on his heels, he has just conquered all 283 Munroe
:16:27. > :16:34.Mountains in little over three years. Was there any time he
:16:34. > :16:44.regretted what he was doing? Once. We end was that? When I nearly fell
:16:44. > :16:44.
:16:44. > :16:48.off. That was when I didn't want to see a mountain again. We first met
:16:48. > :16:54.him when he was just six, shortly after he made came to be the
:16:54. > :17:03.youngest person to conquer all 214 Lakeland fells in the Wainwright
:17:03. > :17:07.guides. But his wanderlust begun - - began much earlier. This is in
:17:07. > :17:13.the age just three. Home video shows that he has always been a
:17:13. > :17:17.determined walker. What keeps him going? Basically the fact that it
:17:17. > :17:24.is a mountain and you have to climate. We don't have any choice,
:17:24. > :17:33.do we? Not really. Also there is a chocolate and sweets every now and
:17:33. > :17:37.again! It is a bit sad that we have done all of them, because it was
:17:37. > :17:47.really fun doing them all. There are always more mountainside there,
:17:47. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:59.though. Next stop, the Alps! That kid is Judy six bid to, he has
:17:59. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:09.just won his legs away! - - warned - - warned. -- worn.
:18:09. > :18:12.Sport now and Graham Liver is here. Let's start with Rugby League and
:18:12. > :18:15.Warrington completed a Super League double over Wigan to take top spot.
:18:15. > :18:19.The Wolves brought the Challenge Cup winners down to earth with a
:18:19. > :18:22.39-12 victory. Wigan fans will be hoping it was just a hangover from
:18:22. > :18:25.their Wembley final last weekend. The Wolves are now so close to
:18:25. > :18:28.lifting the League Leader's Shield and finish top of the table for the
:18:28. > :18:31.first time since 1973. What will this mean for the play-offs? Well,
:18:31. > :18:34.assuming Warrington finish top and beat Hull this Friday, it leaves
:18:34. > :18:36.Wigan almost certainly going to play St Helens in a play-off semi-
:18:36. > :18:39.final. Stuart Pollit has been to
:18:39. > :18:42.Warrington today. For a game between Super League's top two
:18:42. > :18:44.sides, this was a very one sided encounter. Wigan's Tomkins brothers
:18:44. > :18:46.may have been grabbing the headlines, but they were
:18:46. > :18:54.overshadowed by Warrington's siblings, Joel and Michael Monaghan,
:18:54. > :19:04.scoring half the Wolves' six tries. The win puts Warrington on the
:19:04. > :19:09.brink of a first League Winner's Shield. It is a massive goal of
:19:09. > :19:12.ours and to win it this week. away at Hull would be the first
:19:13. > :19:18.time Wire have topped the table since the club's glory years in the
:19:18. > :19:21.1950s. And it would continue a remarkable 2011 for the region's
:19:21. > :19:24.rugby league teams. Warrington, Wigan and St Helens occupy the top
:19:24. > :19:30.three spots in Super League and the Warriors have already bagged the
:19:30. > :19:35.Challenge Cup. On this evidence, few would bet against an all North
:19:35. > :19:40.West showdown in October's Grand Final.
:19:40. > :19:45.There are a lot of kids in the area who are loving rugby league at the
:19:45. > :19:53.moment because they don't have to travel far to watch a successful
:19:53. > :19:58.team. It is really good for the area. One man desperate for Grand
:19:58. > :20:02.Final glory is Eddie, the club photographer. It would be nice to
:20:02. > :20:10.go all out on a high note. So if they win the Grand Final you will
:20:10. > :20:15.retire? I will retire from active duty, I will say that. Old
:20:15. > :20:19.photographers don't retire, they just go out of focus. In Rugby

:20:45. > :20:48.as they lost their opening match of the Premiership season at promoted
:20:49. > :20:51.Worcester. A penalty and drop-goal from Nick Macleod had given a
:20:51. > :20:57.Sharks side, featuring seven new faces, a 6-0 advantage, but the

:21:12. > :21:15.Antonia Onooha, seen here at the North West Sports Awards, says she
:21:15. > :21:18.is humiliated and devastated about the email, sent from Cook's account,

:21:21. > :21:24.club have not commented on the claims.
:21:24. > :21:27.Well, the international fixtures meant an early season break for the
:21:27. > :21:30.Premier League and Championship, meaning the weekend's focus was on
