Good evening and welcome to North West Tonight. A what top story - he | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
died because of mistakes by the Cumbrian hospital where he was born. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Now police say they are investigating other mother and baby | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
deaths there. He died a terrible death. He bled to death because it | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
preventable reasons. The news comes after Furness General Hospital | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
:00:44. | :00:48. | ||
failed to breach basic standards in maternity care. Jailed - 3 men from | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
Manchester who plotted to kill soldiers in Afghanistan. The chief | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
executive of Manchester City resigns. This mother Nellie died | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:15. | ||
because she did not have a flu jab. -- nearly died. Her and I am at | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
this stadium that reeks of history. Join me later, before they market | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
down! -- knock it down. Police have this afternoon confirmed they are | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
investigating the deaths of a number of mothers and babies | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
treated at the Furness General Hospital in Cumbria. An | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
investigation, initially into the death of baby Joshua Titcombe three | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
years ago, has been widened to include more deaths. The news comes | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
as maternity services at Furness General are criticised for failing | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:53. | ||
to reach essential standards. His family court in their little | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
fighter. Joshua Titcombe was nine days old when he died in November | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
2008. An inquest decided he died from an it in section, which staff | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
at Furness General Hospital failed to spot. Dash back and in -- and | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
infection. He died a terrible death. He bled to death because of | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
:02:30. | :02:31. | ||
preventable reasons. No police investigating Joshua's death have | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
widened the investigation. They are looking at a number of deaths after | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
mothers and babies were treated at Furness General Hospital. In a | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
separate development, the Care Quality Commission, an independent | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
regulator which carried out unannounced inspections at Furness | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
:02:58. | :03:00. | ||
General Hospital, says it has come Serbs in three areas: -- concerns | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
:03:10. | :03:10. | ||
We want an urgent response from the hospital and they are required to | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
tell us within 14 days what they planned to do. The chief executive | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
of the Morecambe Bay NHS Trust says that Improvement had been made. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
report is supportive of what we do, but we need to go further. We | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
accept that and we will make sure that we do what we need to do. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Care Quality Commission says it will make future and announced | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
visits. Any more information from the police, Peter? Not a great deal. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
15 detectives are working on this investigation and family liaison | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
:04:06. | :04:12. | ||
officers have also been brought in. There has been talk that staff | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
possibly colluded before giving evidence to be inquest in the | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:32. | ||
summer. Cumbria police said that the details are complex and it is | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
too early to comment. We heard from the chief executive of the trust, | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
but it was done before the announcement today. Yes. They say | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
they are not aware of any further investigation into the tragic death | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
of Joshua Titcombe. They say they will co-operate with the police if | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
contacted. Three men from Greater Manchester | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
have been jailed for plotting the deaths of British soldiers in | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Afghanistan. Munir Farooqi, a former Taliban fighter, was given | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
four life sentences. Manchester Crown Court heard he had been the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
ringleader of the group, recruiting and brainwashing vulnerable young | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
:05:23. | :05:25. | ||
men to try to turn them into terrorists. | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Munir Farooqi was well known at Longsight market. At another store | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
in Manchester he was helped by Matthew Newton. Munir Farooqi | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
fought for the Taliban and was captured in 2001. They were using | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
:05:55. | :06:16. | ||
the market stalls to capture and We know Munir Farooqi lived here in | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
Munir Farooqi. His basement was equipped as a propaganda production | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
:06:32. | :06:36. | ||
centre. We know he wanted to kill 30 or 40 people in theatre. He is a | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
grave threat to the young people in the UK, and perhaps a graver threat | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
:06:52. | :06:56. | ||
to our troops in theatre. Today, both men were jailed, as was Israr | :06:56. | :07:06. | |
:07:06. | :07:07. | ||
Malik. Giving Munir Farooqi for life sentences, the judge said you | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
were involved in brainwashing and are a dangerous extremist. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Manchester City's chief executive has resigned after sending an email | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
that appeared to mock the illness of a player's mother. The club's | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
been investigating the message sent by Garry Cook to Dr Anthonia Onouha, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
mother and agent of Nedum Onouha. Tonight he admitted what he called | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
an error of judgement. Stuart Flinders is at City's Etihad | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
:07:41. | :07:42. | ||
Stadium. Did he jump or was he pushed? | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
Well, he clearly was hoping not to have to jump because when the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
affair came to light, he said it was nothing to do with him. But the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
club has carried out an investigation and he now admits to | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
what he calls an error of judgment. I did mention that it appeared to | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
mark the illness of a player's mother. Tell us a bit more about | :08:06. | :08:16. | |
the e-mail. Yes. Doctor on newer is the mother | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
:08:26. | :08:31. | ||
of Nedum Onouha. -- doctor on newer. She received an e-mail that | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
contained a jokey reference to her suffering from cancer. She | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
confronted coke macro about it, but he blamed a colleague. -- coke | :08:46. | :08:55. | |

With all the signings at Manchester City and their chances of winning | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
the Premiership, he has had to go. He has been at the club for three | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:24. | ||
momentous years. He oversaw the sale, making them the richest club | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
in the world. Manchester City are sad to see him go. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
The Nursing and Midwifery Council will hold a hearing on Wednesday to | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
review Rebecca Leighton's suspension - the nurse who was | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
arrested during the investigation into contaminated saline at | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Stepping Hill Hospital. Last week the Crown Prosecution Service | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
announced they were dropping all charges against Miss Leighton, who | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
was released from custody. Police say a man's received the | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
largest custodial sentence yet after taking part in last month's | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
Manchester riots. 18-year-old Thomas Lamb of no fixed address | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
pleaded guilty to breaking into the Spar shop in Piccadilly, stealing | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
cigarettes and alcohol. He also broke into Ladbrokes, but didn't | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
manage to steal anything. He was sentenced to more than four years | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
at Manchester Crown Court today. Controversial plans for a bio mass | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
incinerator on the banks of the Mersey have been given the go-ahead. | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Peel Energy's plant on Ince Marshes will be fuelled by almost 200,000 | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
tonnes of waste wood a year. Cheshire West and Chester council | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
says it had no option but to approve the development, despite | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
some opposition from residents in Helsby and Frodsham. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
My role model, my inspiration, my world. A tribute from the sister of | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
the Wirral teenager Hayley Holmes whose funeral was held this | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
afternoon. Hayley's younger sister Keely read out the tribute at a | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
service attended by her family and hundreds of Hayley's friends. | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
Hayley drowned off the Wirral coast last month. Shoes belonging to her | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
and her boyfriend Robbie Crofts were found on the shore. He's still | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
missing. The coffin of Wight. The mourners | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
in bright colours at the family's request. This was to be a | :11:09. | :11:19. | |
:11:19. | :11:21. | ||
celebration of Hayley Holmes's brief life. Her younger sister read | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
a personal tribute. I give mum and dad and extra case to make up for | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
you not been there. You were my role model. I always looked up to | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
you. You are my precious big sister and I will always love you. Hayley | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
:11:56. | :11:57. | ||
was 17. She drowned off the Wirral coast. Her boyfriend is still | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:11. | ||
missing. Many of her friends were at the funeral. I expected the | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
girls to be very tearful. They have overwhelmed me with how mature and | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
dignified they have been and how keen they are to support Hayley's | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
family. Her family say she was one in a million and their allies will | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
never be the same again. Still to come in North West | :12:34. | :12:44. | |

Tonight: find out how the supporters are faring later on. And | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
Ireland invasion - a Manx welcome for the elite Commonwealth athletes. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
In her early forties, Carol Williams was active and healthy, | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
although she did have mild asthma and was prone to chest infections. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
But when she was told to have the flu vaccine last winter, she turned | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
it down. She didn't think she really needed it. By the New Year, | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
Carol was seriously ill in hospital with swine flu. She almost died and | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
spent weeks in intensive care. Now Carol is encouraging everyone | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
offered the flu jab to make sure they have it. We'll hear from her | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
in a moment, but first here's our health correspondent Laura Yates. | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
It is that time of year regain. The flu season is almost upon us. Last | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
winter almost 1,300 people were admitted to hospital with the flu. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
In one week 300 people were taking into critical care. This region was | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
the hardest hit in the country and that his wife the NHS is | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
encouraging people eligible for the flu vaccination to take it. I am | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
going to visit a woman who didn't take it last year and nearly died. | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
This was Carol Williams on Boxing Day last year. She had mild asthma | :14:13. | :14:23. | |
and turned down the fleet jab. She did not think she needed it. | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
just got more difficult to believe. In the end I was bent over. I | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
couldn't do it any more. It was too painful to breed. My daughter and | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:46. | ||
husband were there. I said, at sea in a couple of days. In fact, Carol | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
was kept on a ventilator box six weeks, sedated and paralysed. She | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
nearly died. Her family were told she was unlikely to live through | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
the night on several occasions. How did you feel knowing you were so | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
close to death? It was very scary. In late February when I was more | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
lucid, I couldn't believe it. I can believe what had happened and all | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
:15:23. | :15:23. | ||
the procedures. I couldn't believe it. My family had to go through | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
that just because I did not have the flu jab. Carol's lungs are | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
badly scarred and simple tasks like this are a struggle for her. It | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
could take a couple of years for her to look fully recover. If you | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
are eligible for a vaccine you can expect to be contacted by your GP | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :16:05. | ||
in the next few weeks. Just a Lots more information on the NHS | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
website. Well, it's time for sport now and | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
it could be a big night out in Warrington tonight, Tony | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Yes, it promises to be a night to remember if the Wolves do the | :16:15. | :16:23. | |
business away to Hull. A point at the KC Stadium should be enough for | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
them to seal the Super League leaders Shield, their first title | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
in half a century Quite an achievement, but that | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
won't be a case of job done for them, will it? | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
No, it will mean that they have finished the regular season top of | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
the table, but then they have to negotiate the play-offs if they are | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
to make the season's showpiece the Grand Final. Confidence is high | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
:16:51. | :16:52. | ||
though, with a lot of praise for coach Tony Smith. The transition | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
from when he turned up to the way things are now, top of the table | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
will be great. There is coverage of that game tonight on BBC Radio | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
Manchester. If you are a Lancashire fan who can | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
remember winning the County Championship then you will be of a | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
certain vintage. This season they've got a great chance of | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
ending one of North West sport's longest hoodoos - one lasting three | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
quarters of a century. Lancs are taking on Hampshire in their final | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
home game of the season from where Stuart Pollitt reports. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
The red rose of Lancashire has occupied top place eight times. | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
These were the last month to deliver at the championship to | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
Lancashire, in an era when county cricket was a bigger share in town | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
:17:58. | :17:59. | ||
-- was the biggest show in town. Lancashire's loyal supporters are | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
hoping that the prize will come back to them. It has been a long | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
time. Kenny believe it has been 77 years since they last won it? | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
don't believe that. Hopefully they can beat Hampshire and put | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
themselves in a great position, going into the final round of | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
matches next week. It makes it more exciting. It is a long time since | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
Lancashire won it out right. If it does not work, it will not be | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
through lack of trying. Are they finally going to do it this year? | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :18:52. | ||
No! At think it might be a draw. That will be a shame. -- I think. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
With a few more wickets and some luck, this could finally be | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Lancashire's year. Well, Lancashire have pushed on in | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
their second innings, setting up an interesting final day at Liverpool. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
They will resume on 195 for 2 in their second innings. Their overall | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
lead is 202. Coverage throughout the day on your local BBC radio | :19:10. | :19:12. | |

to be host the Commonwealth Youth Games, so the Isle of Man has gone | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
all out, to make a big deal of the event. Athletes from over 60 | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
nations are on the island to compete in seven different sports | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
over the coming weekend and Sarah Mulkerrins is there. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Long haul flights, choppy ferry crossing, noisy coach trips and jet | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
lag. Despite all this the 1,300 athletes and officials from all | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
over the Commonwealth were in good spirits arriving on the Isle of Man | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
this week. The Games kicked off with a bang last night with over | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
200 performers taking part in the opening ceremony. Behind the scenes | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
the excitement was mounting as all the different teams lined up. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
feels great. I am really honoured. It is a 36 Howard Flight. To see | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
the track is great. Are you looking for a gold-medal? By we always try | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
:20:18. | :20:18. | ||
to do the best. I hope Jamaica will be in the top three. I want to be a | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
great athlete. On hand for added inspiration this weekend is Dame | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
Kelly Holmes, who knows a thing or two about winning. When I was 16 I | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
went to the mini Youth Olympics. I remember marching round and winning | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
my race. I remember standing on the rostrum with the national anthem | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
playing and I thought, one day this will be will. The celebrations | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
ended last night, but competition is away in earnest this morning. | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
Athletes from over 60 countries are all here hoping to make a dent this | :20:53. | :21:03. | |

It's an next forecast for the next couple of days. Very unsettled, but | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
there is room for some sunshine. Saturday will start wet, but it | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
:22:18. | :22:19. | ||
will clear. Today, it hasn't been too bad. Temperatures at 21 Celsius. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |

not made 18 degrees. Tomorrow, the rain will try to clear and the | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
:23:29. | :23:30. | ||
picture starts to look better after lunchtime. There will be some | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
sunshine and patchy cloud. The breeze comes from the south-west, | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
dragging in that mild air. Temperatures as high as 23 degrees. | :23:44. | :23:54. | |
:23:54. | :23:54. | ||
Saturday evening, the showers will pile on. Sunday, very unsettled. | :23:54. | :24:03. | |
The Met Office are warning that the remnants of a Hurricane Run will be | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:17. | ||
hitting a were -- of a Hurricane Wilma be hitting our shores. -- | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
Hurricane Ida will be. Now, it's almost the end of the | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
programme and almost the end of an era. On Sunday, Super League's | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
Salford City Reds play their last home game at a ground they've | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
graced for 110 years. The Reds move to a state-of-the-art stadium next | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
season, but against Catalan Dragons their average crowd of 4,500 will | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
swell to a capacity 11,500 as they say goodbye. For one man, it might | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
be too much to bear. Every brick, every blade of grass will soon be a | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
memory, no more so full -- than for the chairman. For the last time he | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
:25:03. | :25:05. | ||
is showing us be five wonders of the Willows. When I was a boy, I | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
sat in this seat next to my father. I always sit on the front row at | :25:11. | :25:19. | |
eye-level. I have sat there for many years. When the game has | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
finished, I like walking towards the shed. They always give me a | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
good reception. I love to show them I am supporting them as well. | :25:30. | :25:37. | |
are going to take you last walk on Sunday? Yes. It will be difficult. | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
:25:47. | :25:51. | ||
The dressing room, a sacred place. You shake a player's hands and | :25:51. | :26:01. | |
:26:01. | :26:01. | ||
smiled the wintergreen. What is the significance of this box? Any sport | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
is about winning and the vice chairman, everyone always buys me a | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
pint of bitter. I've had 10 prize this year and I am desperate to get | :26:12. | :26:20. | |
a pint on Sunday. The will there be a tear? I have to be honest, I'm | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
not an emotional person. I can only remember crying at my mother's | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
:26:35. | :26:35. | ||
funeral. I don't know what will happen on Sunday. This place means | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
a lot to me. If I do, it is probably deserved, isn't it? He is | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
:26:53. | :27:01. | ||
a lovely fellow. Good luck to Salford. By the way, I am on the | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
