:00:06. > :00:09.Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Gordon Burns. Hospital in crisis -
:00:09. > :00:17.the maternity unit under police investigation is again told it does
:00:17. > :00:27.not meet proper health care Tonight, we have exclusive access
:00:27. > :00:31.to patients in that maternity unit to hear about their experiences.
:00:31. > :00:34.There was never a question that I was going to go somewhere else to
:00:34. > :00:37.have my baby. Salford to become part of
:00:37. > :00:40.Manchester - just one of the proposals for radial parliamentary
:00:40. > :00:49.boundary changes. Colour me purple or any other
:00:49. > :00:59.colour but what does your choice say about your health?
:00:59. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:18.I am back at Old Trafford playing Serious concerns a second --
:01:18. > :01:24.Monitor has asked Morecambe Bay Trust to be put on a red risk
:01:24. > :01:27.rating. One of the trust hospitals, Furness
:01:27. > :01:32.General, is under police investigation following the deaths
:01:32. > :01:39.of babies there. The unit is still open and today North West Tonight
:01:39. > :01:46.was given exclusive access. Peter Marshall is at the hospital now.
:01:46. > :01:50.After all the controversy, after the reports that have criticised
:01:50. > :01:54.maternity services here, I was allowed on to the maternity wards
:01:54. > :02:00.today, given the chance to talk to patients there and to ask them what
:02:00. > :02:08.they made of the surface that has been criticised. I have to say,
:02:08. > :02:14.morale was high. Inside, become to perk -- the
:02:14. > :02:20.controversial maternity ward. is perfect. Very happy that she is
:02:20. > :02:26.here. Philippa is one of the unit's latest arrivals. The Pride parents,
:02:26. > :02:30.Ellie and John. I wouldn't be human if so wasn't nervous about it. I
:02:30. > :02:35.have met people that have had babies here and have had excellent
:02:35. > :02:41.care. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Being here has been
:02:41. > :02:46.wonderful. They have helped us all the way. It has been as relaxing as
:02:46. > :02:51.having a baby can be. We have been helped through every aspect of
:02:51. > :02:59.looking after her and the birth. While keen to show off thank you
:02:59. > :03:05.cars, the unit took a fresh blow today, getting a red risk rating.
:03:05. > :03:08.The rating says: We will be plating did Trust and a cruise -- close
:03:08. > :03:18.scrutiny and considering whether regulatory action may be required
:03:18. > :03:18.
:03:18. > :03:28.to address our concerns.". Those concerns were, inadequate staffing
:03:28. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:33.at weekends, failure to properly report incidents. Over the past
:03:33. > :03:38.years, we have made improvements and are confident the care provided
:03:38. > :03:42.by our midwives and doctors is meeting a high a standard of safety.
:03:42. > :03:50.With police investigating deaths there and concerns over the
:03:50. > :03:55.Morecambe Bay NHS Trust performance, it is unsettling for patients.
:03:55. > :04:03.Staffing is an issue everywhere in hospital. There is not enough money
:04:03. > :04:06.getting put in so they can't expect miracles. Care of my friends and
:04:06. > :04:10.family has not been up to standards. They say improvements have been
:04:10. > :04:18.made. Talk to as Peter about this red
:04:18. > :04:28.risk rating. What does it mean for the trust?
:04:28. > :04:28.
:04:28. > :04:34.They are 138 NHS trusts in England and 10 of those have these ratings.
:04:34. > :04:39.As to Monitor, what powers they have? They will be talking to them
:04:39. > :04:45.to find out what is being done to redress the matters that have been
:04:45. > :04:50.highlighted here. In extreme cases, Monitor can replace a whole NHS
:04:50. > :04:57.Trust board. It has only been done twice before. Unusual in extreme
:04:57. > :05:01.cases, it can also close an entire unit. That would be an unusual move.
:05:01. > :05:05.The Trust here has until 21st November to prove it is putting
:05:05. > :05:10.things right. The Trust is going to great lengths
:05:10. > :05:15.to, people's worries, aren't they? Very much the message here is that
:05:15. > :05:19.it is open for business as usual and it is safe to come here. We had
:05:19. > :05:22.a statement issued by a senior near thing -- nursing staff, they said
:05:22. > :05:30.they would like to reassure the public that they will leave no
:05:30. > :05:36.stone unturned to get it right for all women. They said that they
:05:36. > :05:46.delivered 1140 babies in at 2010. They have published a helpline
:05:46. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:58.Where you live might be about to change. At least politically
:05:58. > :06:02.speaking. Proposals have been published to radically redraw the
:06:02. > :06:06.political map, altering constituencies and even abolishing
:06:06. > :06:12.some altogether. They are 72 constituencies in the
:06:12. > :06:18.region, each electing a single MP. Almost all of them will be affected.
:06:18. > :06:22.Arif Ansari is here. This is one of the most radical
:06:22. > :06:27.shake-ups in decades. The idea is to reduce the number of seats but
:06:27. > :06:37.make them larger and more equally sized. In the North West, the
:06:37. > :06:43.number of MPs would fall from 72-66. Labour tend to win smaller seats in
:06:43. > :06:51.big cities. You can see their numbers here. Remember, only seven
:06:51. > :06:56.constituencies are unchanged. Every other one has the boundaries. -- a
:06:56. > :07:02.new boundaries. It was thought that George Osborne would be in trouble
:07:02. > :07:07.and it is renamed Northwich. Tim Farron, might have a fight on in
:07:07. > :07:11.Cumbria. The new constituency of Kendal and Penrith is being created,
:07:11. > :07:16.potentially pitted him against a high profile Tory, Rory Stuart.
:07:16. > :07:21.Hazel Blears has an even bigger problem. Her constituency, Salford
:07:21. > :07:25.and Eccles, is being broken up completely and shared out amongst
:07:25. > :07:29.different constituencies. Her voters will still live in
:07:29. > :07:33.Salford but this city's distinct voice will be muffled. Salford
:07:33. > :07:38.Quays will become part of Manchester Central, not just
:07:38. > :07:42.another constituency, but another city. Will voters back the
:07:42. > :07:49.proposals? Salford is a town on its own because we have our own
:07:49. > :07:57.cathedral. It will be a fact that we don't want her to move with
:07:57. > :08:05.Manchester. It doesn't bother me at all. They will be bothered. They
:08:05. > :08:15.are not Manchester, are they? Labour MPs who found their seats
:08:15. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:23.less safe or even disappearing, have attacked this. It is drawing
:08:23. > :08:30.boundaries for a party's advantage. When they attempt to make the
:08:30. > :08:34.boundaries of Fair, it is nonsense to talk about gerrymandering.
:08:34. > :08:37.cross county seats are being created. Some will have to merge
:08:37. > :08:42.with to Greater Manchester seats. The Chancellor's Tatton
:08:43. > :08:47.constituency, largely survives, renamed it Northwich, his neighbour
:08:47. > :08:52.is not so lucky. It is the right thing to do. The coalition
:08:52. > :08:59.Government committed to cutting the cost of politics by reducing 50
:08:59. > :09:03.constituencies and MPs. That is part of that process. Graham Evans,
:09:03. > :09:05.the Conservative MP there for Weaver Vale who looks as if he is
:09:05. > :09:10.going to lose his seat in Parliament as a result of these
:09:10. > :09:13.changes. These are just proposals and many will be fighting to get
:09:13. > :09:18.them changed. The desire to create seats with equal numbers of voters
:09:18. > :09:27.will be fairer but it has led to an conventional constituencies being
:09:27. > :09:30.considered. In Cumbria, the family of a British
:09:30. > :09:36.tourist kidnapped on holiday in Kenya waiting anxiously for news.
:09:36. > :09:40.Judith Tebbit who is from Ulverston it is still missing. Her husband,
:09:40. > :09:44.David, was killed in the early hours of Sunday.
:09:44. > :09:47.Parliament will debate whether secret Government files on the
:09:47. > :09:53.Hillsborough disaster should be released to the public. The local
:09:53. > :10:00.water lumpy, Steve Rotheram, who was at the game, wanted a debate in
:10:00. > :10:03.the Commons. The release of the papers will be discussed on of to
:10:03. > :10:06.the 17th. The family of the student killed
:10:06. > :10:11.when he ran into Labour's while chasing a Robin Manchester have
:10:11. > :10:14.paid tribute to him. 21-year-old David Schofield, was running after

:10:32. > :10:36.Jobs are being created by a regatta. They will build a distribution
:10:36. > :10:39.centre in Ellesmere court. The father of an Iraqi civilian
:10:39. > :10:44.beaten to death by its soldiers from at the Lancashire Regiment
:10:44. > :10:48.have called for those responsible to be prosecuted. Douad Mousa that
:10:48. > :10:52.made the plea at a press conference this morning.
:10:52. > :10:57.An inquiry into Baha Mousa's deft said he was the victim of an
:10:57. > :11:03.appalling episode of serious gratuitous violence by troops from
:11:03. > :11:09.the Queen's Lancashire Regiment. This is Baha Mousa, family man,
:11:09. > :11:13.father of two, hotel receptionist. This is him after he had spend time
:11:13. > :11:18.detained by members of the 1st Battalion, the Queen's Lancashire
:11:18. > :11:22.Regiment into peasantry. It is the way of criminals. They
:11:22. > :11:31.seem to be in love with themselves and they seem to like hurting
:11:31. > :11:35.others. Last week, an inquiry concluded that Baha Mousa and
:11:35. > :11:41.others had been subjected to gratuitous violence and illegal
:11:41. > :11:51.torture. You have had an apology from the British Army, what would
:11:51. > :11:57.you want? TRANSLATION: Did apology will not bring my son back to me.
:11:57. > :12:03.My son was kept there for two days, beaten, abused and tortured. An
:12:03. > :12:07.apology were not suffice for this. Today come at a news conference in
:12:07. > :12:12.London, lawyers for the family said they wanted to take matters further.
:12:12. > :12:16.They're referring the cases of several soldiers and officers to
:12:16. > :12:22.the Director of Public opera -- Director of Public Prosecutions,
:12:22. > :12:28.saying they should face charges. They will be concerned. These are
:12:28. > :12:33.very, very serious matters. A man is dead and nine others very badly
:12:33. > :12:37.beaten up. One of the others was lucky to survive. Tomorrow, it will
:12:37. > :12:47.be seven years to the day that Baha Mousa was arrested. His family say
:12:47. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :12:57.they will never know peace until Still to come...
:12:57. > :13:02.Joined me up on the roof to find out why 100,000 honey bees are here
:13:02. > :13:06.on top of a shopping centre. Fighting back in Rip-off Britain.
:13:06. > :13:16.Angela Rippon tells us why she is on your side as she battles for
:13:16. > :13:19.
:13:19. > :13:26.How are you feeling today? Blue? Maybe you are in the pink? Or even
:13:26. > :13:30.an olive shade of green? No, he has not taken leave of his senses.
:13:30. > :13:35.Health experts do believe that colour really could be a good way
:13:35. > :13:40.of measuring your mood. And tomorrow they will be trying to
:13:40. > :13:50.reveal Manchester's true colours. Stewart Flinders reports.
:13:50. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :14:00.I am in a happy mood what colour is it? For blue! Gold. Age. What does
:14:00. > :14:05.that mean? For boring, ordinarily. Yellow. Feeling blue? Looking
:14:05. > :14:09.black? Seeing red? The wisdom of our ancestors is in these savings.
:14:09. > :14:15.And maybe they were on to something. At Sale Grammar they had been
:14:15. > :14:19.conducting an experiment. A team of experts say specific colours
:14:19. > :14:23.reflect specific moods. Healthy individuals choose certain types of
:14:23. > :14:32.colours, whereas people who are anxious and depressed go for other
:14:32. > :14:38.types of colour. Yes, it is Angela Rippon. She was filming in an --
:14:38. > :14:43.Manchester today. Five pink. Why? Because I am a girl. If it you were
:14:43. > :14:47.in a bad mood? Very dark grey. Tomorrow, the same team will be
:14:47. > :14:51.testing the colour temperature of Manchester by asking passers-by in
:14:51. > :14:55.Albert Square to pick a colour that reflects their mood. They say there
:14:55. > :14:59.is a serious side to this. This is a way in which you can first work
:14:59. > :15:05.out how the person is feeling, and that often gives you a guide as to
:15:05. > :15:08.how you are able to help them. you just asked them? You can, but
:15:08. > :15:12.the colour wheel helps overcome some of the difficulties of
:15:12. > :15:15.different cultures and difficulties with answering questions.
:15:15. > :15:23.Researchers will reveal Manchester's true colours in
:15:23. > :15:29.December. Are you feeling a bit blue then? I
:15:29. > :15:33.am feeling read. We will find out what all that means eventually! As
:15:33. > :15:37.you saw, Angela Rippon was talking to Stewart in Manchester today.
:15:37. > :15:44.Although he got her her first, she came into the studio as well to
:15:44. > :15:48.talk about her popular daytime show, Rip-off Britain. The new series
:15:48. > :15:51.starts in November, but this weekend she and the team are taking
:15:51. > :15:56.the show on the road. They are setting up a pot up shop in the
:15:56. > :16:00.Trafford Centre to deal with your consumer concerns on the spot. She
:16:00. > :16:06.has been telling us how the shops will work. Four we have two of them,
:16:06. > :16:10.one on Saturday and won on Sunday. We will be on the first floor have.
:16:10. > :16:14.And it is an opportunity for members of the public to come and
:16:14. > :16:18.meet a panel of experts who will be able to help them with any of the
:16:18. > :16:22.problems they have regarding any kind of rip-off, any kind of
:16:22. > :16:27.complaint, any kind of problem they have with a contract. All those
:16:27. > :16:33.things, which are really Chris tour programme, Rip-off Britain. We get
:16:33. > :16:36.a huge mailbag from people who feel that they are being hard done by
:16:36. > :16:40.war ripped off. And we thought this was a wonderful opportunity not
:16:40. > :16:43.just to deal with things we get in the post but to meet members of the
:16:43. > :16:48.public and give a greater number of people the opportunity to solve
:16:48. > :16:52.their problems. Whether they want to talk to someone from Trading
:16:52. > :16:57.Standards, or someone who is an expert in holiday in all, or in
:16:57. > :17:00.contracts, or in utilities or what ever. They can actually come, and
:17:00. > :17:05.the most important thing is that they must bring any relevant
:17:05. > :17:11.paperwork if they have a problem with that particular thing. Are all
:17:11. > :17:16.three will be there? A Yes. All three of us will be there. Me will
:17:16. > :17:20.also be filming some of what we do, and hopefully some of the people
:17:20. > :17:24.that come will be prepared to be part of the programme. So it is a
:17:24. > :17:27.double edged thing, sorting out problems on the spot and also
:17:27. > :17:32.possibly featuring some of them in the television series when it hits
:17:32. > :17:37.the air. It has been such a huge success. It just shows that people
:17:37. > :17:41.had been crying out for some work to turn. Often you are left
:17:41. > :17:46.confused by what companies are telling you. What were you most
:17:46. > :17:51.proud of tackling last time? went for utilities, we went for
:17:51. > :17:55.banks and holiday companies. driving school as well? Yes, all
:17:55. > :17:59.sorts. I think anywhere that the public felt they were being ripped
:17:59. > :18:04.off and not given a good deal. The trouble is that nowadays, everyone
:18:04. > :18:09.is pressed for money. So what you have you want to hang on to. So you
:18:09. > :18:13.do not want someone coming along and finding a way through small
:18:13. > :18:18.print for some report schemes... Just something which means that you
:18:18. > :18:23.do not get the deal you thought you were going to get. And in this new
:18:23. > :18:27.series, we have already got occasions where people with utility
:18:27. > :18:33.bills... And have a letter I have brought with me today, NAD he was
:18:33. > :18:37.in her eighties. And one of the utility companies is holding �408
:18:37. > :18:41.of her money bet she has overpaid. She wants that money in her bank
:18:41. > :18:46.account! She does not want it to the and their bank account! There
:18:46. > :18:50.are so many different examples where people are being ripped off.
:18:50. > :18:55.You said the new series started in November. Is it different from the
:18:55. > :19:00.other ones? No, the only thing that is new is that we're going to talk
:19:00. > :19:06.to a locked more people. It will be going out on daytime television and
:19:06. > :19:11.in the new year on prime time. Saturday, we will be in the
:19:11. > :19:20.Trafford Centre from 10 until six. Come and see us, and bring your
:19:20. > :19:26.problems! I am sure they will. It is great to talk to you.
:19:26. > :19:32.Is there is a Big Issue, you will know what it is for it -- what it
:19:32. > :19:37.is for! Big due. And honey bees are still in trouble.
:19:37. > :19:41.Colony numbers have fallen for the 4th year in a row. The British
:19:41. > :19:45.Beekeepers Association says more hives are needed if the decline is
:19:45. > :19:54.to be brought under control. And the latest are in the most unlikely
:19:54. > :19:58.of locations. Busy, busy, busy. But the activity
:19:58. > :20:08.in Warrington's biggest shopping centre is nothing to what is going
:20:08. > :20:09.
:20:09. > :20:14.on on the roof. Sometimes they need a little smoke to move them away
:20:14. > :20:18.from her you want to put your hive. There around 100,000 honey bees
:20:18. > :20:22.here, amongst the air conditioning units and clatter of a modern
:20:22. > :20:28.building. Surprisingly, it is perfect for them. This is a great
:20:28. > :20:32.location, it is in an urban setting. The bees are doing very well in
:20:32. > :20:38.their environment, where there are parks and gardens, railway sidings.
:20:38. > :20:43.There is the river. Whereas in the countryside, because of pence --
:20:43. > :20:47.pesticides and intensive farming, there is a loss of habitat. For bee
:20:47. > :20:52.numbers have fallen by 17 % because of things like pesticides, disease
:20:52. > :20:58.and poor weather. This has to be one of the most unusual locations I
:20:58. > :21:03.have ever seen. And they are here because of a new scheme called
:21:03. > :21:06.adopt at the height. We have a lot of research base, and it is really
:21:06. > :21:12.people like Richard knowing where the best things -- base is to put
:21:12. > :21:17.them. But we would like to know more -- do more in the future.
:21:17. > :21:22.are slightly bigger than the worker bees. They can get through the wire,
:21:22. > :21:28.but the Queen cannot. There are plans to put more bees up here.
:21:28. > :21:31.Luckily, this is a tale without testing. They do not go out of
:21:31. > :21:41.their latest in people, they are very gentle. They will only sting
:21:41. > :21:46.very gentle. They will only sting if they feel threatened.
:21:46. > :21:50.Let's take a look at the weather. I like to see the weather getting
:21:50. > :21:56.blamed for the decline. Eight get blamed for everything! This time
:21:56. > :22:01.last night we were talking about winds of up to 50 mph. Today, it
:22:01. > :22:06.has been over 45. So it has eased a bit but it has still been blowing
:22:06. > :22:11.out their. A wave from the wind, it has not been a bad picture. Some
:22:11. > :22:15.places have seen quite a lot of sunshine. But every now and then,
:22:15. > :22:21.the showers did decide to roll in. They were fairly lively as fairly
:22:21. > :22:25.heavy. This is the picture from 6pm. There is rain in some parts of
:22:25. > :22:29.Cumbria already. But for most of us, you might just hang onto a little
:22:29. > :22:33.bit of good weather. But the cloud is beckoning all the time, and it
:22:33. > :22:38.does change through the night. We have this trailing weather fronts
:22:38. > :22:41.moving in. It is very slow-moving, and it will move across the North
:22:41. > :22:45.West of England throughout tonight and for a lot of tomorrow as well.
:22:45. > :22:52.This weather is something you will have to get used to as you go
:22:52. > :22:55.through the night. It is overcast, cloudy, dull and damp. Over parts
:22:55. > :22:59.of northern Lancashire and in two parts of Cumbria, because the rain
:22:59. > :23:04.is so slow-moving, there could be 20 or 30 mm of rain between
:23:04. > :23:10.midnight and perhaps the tail-end of tomorrow. So it is not a great
:23:10. > :23:16.forecast. It is still fairly dusty from time to time. 35 mph in parts
:23:16. > :23:20.of Cumbria. So there we once again. Overnight, temperatures of 10-13
:23:20. > :23:24.degrees Celsius. Four tomorrow, look at that cloud cover and that
:23:24. > :23:29.training weather front, that brings light and patchy rain all day.
:23:29. > :23:33.There will be an improvement towards the end of the day. It will
:23:33. > :23:37.move into 4th -- out of the Isle of Man and out of parts of Cumbria.
:23:37. > :23:41.Some sunshine will try and work its way through. But it will be very
:23:41. > :23:47.late in the days. They do not even think it will make it into parts of
:23:47. > :23:51.Lancashire. That at the day progresses, you can see that
:23:51. > :23:56.North's divide that comes in towards the tail-end of the day.
:23:56. > :24:00.Temperatures are not impressive, 14-17 degrees Celsius. It gets
:24:00. > :24:04.better temporarily, by Thursday we have a ridge of high pressure. That
:24:04. > :24:11.should be a fine day. But by the end of Friday it is turning
:24:11. > :24:18.unsettled again. Thursday looks good!
:24:18. > :24:21.Gray is sure colour, then! Lancashire are fighting hard at the
:24:22. > :24:29.end of day two in that the size of each county championship match
:24:29. > :24:33.against Somerset. And after bowling Somerset out for 380, they reached
:24:33. > :24:37.247 for three and had half- centuries from Stephen Moore, Paul
:24:37. > :24:43.Horton and, -- Paul Horton and Karl Brown. But rivals Warwickshire are
:24:43. > :24:50.in a strong position in their match. It looks like their title.
:24:50. > :24:53.And with someone with an eye on that game will be Andrew Flintoff.
:24:53. > :24:58.It has been a few years since Andrew Flintoff was playing cricket
:24:58. > :25:03.at Old Trafford. But today he was back in action. He is not making a
:25:03. > :25:06.comeback, but instead he was joined by a host of cricketing legends and
:25:06. > :25:10.enthusiastic amateurs to raise enthusiastic amateurs to raise
:25:10. > :25:14.money for his charity. Stewart Pollitt reports.
:25:14. > :25:19.Freddie Flintoff is back on a cricket field - sort of. I do not
:25:19. > :25:24.play cricket any more. I enjoy it, however, I am not very good!
:25:24. > :25:32.telling that to the bass man in the firing nine. If you have to chase
:25:32. > :25:38.their -- take your chances when they come. You think, God, that is
:25:38. > :25:46.Freddie Flintoff over there! He still looks good. Better than as
:25:46. > :25:51.Saturday eating, anyway! I was thinking, it is fate, it is coming
:25:51. > :26:01.towards me, I will drop it! He sent it straight at the end I could not
:26:01. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:09.get out of the way. This is a Sunday for everyone involved. Devon
:26:09. > :26:13.Malcolm. The event is raising money for Freddie's charity, the AF
:26:13. > :26:19.Foundation, which improves children's rehabilitation and
:26:19. > :26:25.physiotherapy units like the one at Liverpool's Alder Hey Hospital.
:26:25. > :26:30.Thousands of children go through each year. With cancer, Burns,
:26:30. > :26:34.surgery and sports injuries. Freddie tells me you why in better
:26:34. > :26:40.shape than everyone else! That is because they were all out last
:26:40. > :26:45.night and I wasn't! Freddie's cricketing skills may be below
:26:45. > :26:55.Ashes winning levels, but his party in since -- seems to still be at
:26:55. > :27:00.2005 levels. That was a bit unfair of Tim! He
:27:00. > :27:05.had just won the Ashes! We are talking about what colour your
:27:05. > :27:12.leader is generally. What colour would you be? I think I am probably
:27:12. > :27:22.Orange. I can go either way, it can be sunny and warm or a bit intense.
:27:22. > :27:24.
:27:24. > :27:33.Interesting! Hot colour would you be? Quite, with black edges. Hot?
