14/09/2011 North West Tonight

Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight P Our top story. She is

accused of stealing drugs from stepping him hospital, but the

nursing council says Rebecca Leighton can return to nursing. It

is on condition that she only works at Stepping Hill. We will report

live from the hospital. Also tonight. From Victorian tradition

to airport-style terminals. Liverpool's plans for new schools

on the cheap. It has treated the poor and been painted by Lowry but

now this building faces demolition. Find out why and where it is later

on. And pain and passion on the big screen. Why Derbyshire is

attracting Briton Tay's heroine again. Also tonight Tony is at

Manchester City where sure sure's millions are about to pay off.

the owner spent �500 million to get them to Champions League. It I is

their debut tonight. The favourite song is Blue Moon. Join me on a

night where expectations are higher than that. They think they can win

this. First tonight, Rebecca Leighton the nurse who was accused

of tampering with medical products that could have caused the deaths

of patients at Stepping Hill Hospital has been told she can

return to her job, despite allegations she stole drugs from

work. The nursing council has lifted her suspension, but says it

is on condition that she only works at Stepping Hill. Within the last

half hour though, the hospital has issued a statement, saying it is

still keeping her suspend -- suspended on full pay while

investigations continue. Our chief reporter is there now at the

hospital. Tell us a bit more about these conditions. Yes, back when

Rebecca Leighton was first arrested, on suspicion of involvement in that

saline tampering scandal. The nurgs and midwifery council imposed an

interim ban. It is normal practise to do so because she has been told

she faces no further charges, she went to the council today and

argued the case to have that ban lifted so she could return to the

profession in which she works. This afternoon, the council agreed the

ban would be lifted, provided she adhered to certain conditions.

Those being she only works here, that she doesn't have access to the

drugs cabinet, and that she doesn't administer drugs to patients.

were startling revelations, during the hearing weren't there? Yes, the

man arguing against the ban being lifted said late had been accused

of stealing drugs from Stepping Hill Hospital, including the

openiate based tramadol. He said if these allegations were true, there

could be only one conclusion she was going to use them for her

personal use ch he remined the panel that Dr Harold Shipman was

addicted to another drug pethidine. He went on the say, "One hesitates

to bandy round the name of Shipman but she will be aware of the impact

of professional dependency on drugs." Strong words there, so what

did her lawyer have to say? barrister said it was a leap too

far to suggest she had been stealing drugs for her own use.

There was no evidence of that. He said to keep the ban in place would

be devastating and disproportionate for Rebecca Leighton. He went on to

add, she has had her liberty restored and she expects to be

afforded to opportunity to return to the profession she loves. He

showed the panel a letter from a consultant here at Stepping Hill,

which praised her work, it described her as hard-working,

caring and committed to her job. But despite all of that, the fact

remains she isn't going to go back to work straight away. That is

right. The word from Stepping Hill here tonight, is whatever the

nursing council may say, they are going to keep her suspended on full

pay, pending the outcome of investigations into those

allegations that drugs have been stolen from the hospital. Thank you.

There have been fresh calls for improvements at Furness General

Hospital's maternity unit from the mother of a baby who died there in

April. Kelly Hines says she hopes scrutiny of the hospital by health

regulators will bring about permanent changes. Police are

investigating a number of deaths there, but many former patients

have joined an online campaign to support the unit. Amelia died 23

hours after being born at Furness General Hospital in April this year.

Her death is one of those being looked at by police. Her parents,

Kelly Hine and Carl said there were failings in monitoring the baby at

birth. They are taking legal action against the hospital. When I met

with Kelly she said her emotions were still too raw and she didn't

wish to appear on camera. In issues photographs of her baby she says

the main aim was to high light issues at the hospital in the hope

of bringing about improvements. She say she doesn't want any other

family to experience the Raj dishe has been through. The Morecambe

bay's hospitals trust says while the police investigation is ongoing

it would be wrong to comment on individual cases. Other than to

offer deepest condolences. It says most concerns high lighted by

health rel lay fors have already been addressed. Now some former

patients are calling on the power or social networking to support the

unit. They need the support. I would encourage mums who have had

babies who have had no problems to come forward and tell people. It is

not just all negativity. The staff are wonderful. The care is

wonderful. It's a scary thing to go through for the first time, having

a baby. They have helped us every step of the way and given us all

the information we need. I am happy with the service. The barrow MP

John Woodcock is asking the Health Secretary for assurances that the

unit won't shut. More news from round the north-west. A surgeon

held in Dubai accused of making an obscene gesture to another motorist

says the case against him has been dropped. Joseph Nunoo-Mensah

strongly denied the allegation but feared he might be jailed. Police

seized his passport but after two weeks allowed him to return to the

UK. A doctor criticised by the Baha Mousa inquiry will face a

disciplinary hearing by the General Medical Council next year. The

Iraqi citizen was beaten to death by soldiers from the Queen's

Lancashire Regiment. The doctor Captain Derek Keilloh tried to

resis Tait but failed. He is accuse fd o failing to notice Mr Baha

Mousa had 93 injuries on his body. The number of people in out of work

in the north-west Rose. The region's unemployment rate is now

at 8.3%, slightly above the national average. In total, 282,000

people are now without work in the north-west. A teenager has been

arrested on suspicion of theft in connection with an accident in

which a man was killed. 21-year-old scoef was knocked down by a bus in

Manchester chasing a thief who stole his phone. The 19-year-old

has been bailed. One of Lancashire's most wanted men has

been arrested in Nigeria. After being on the run for three years.

Police want to question Dionne Lee about the smuggling of cocaine,

cannabis and guns into the UK from Amsterdam. Children in Liverpool

could soon be taught in schools resembling airport terminal, that

are cheaping to build than traditional schools. It is one of

the ideas in the city's response to losing hundreds of millions of

pounds of grants last year. The council says 13 schools still need

urgent improvement. It is planning to raise the cash by Americaning

some and selling off spare land for housing. Notre Dame was one of the

schools to miss out when the coalition pulled -- pulled the plug

on the Building Schools for the Future. Now there are plans for the

school to move to a new cheaper type of building, built like a

modern airport. Take live pool airport for example. Simply

constructed with a big roof covering the whole thing. Inside,

bar, exchange bureau, departure desk. Imagine something like this

but with classroom, library, laboratories inside. All laid out

how the school want them. We have the shell of a building which is

high quality and robust, we are given more space in order to plan

for activities that maybe we wouldn't have been able to deliver

with BSF. In total Liverpool schools lost �350 million worth of

improvements last summer. This new plan would improve eight schools

for �100 million. Where is the money coming from We have some

derelict school sites from earlier programme, so we intend to sell

that land and reinvest that money into the school rebilling programme.

We also will have to borrow some money. Archbishop Beck school would

be rebuilt on a new site. The first eight schools to be improved are in

areas which need regeneration. Schools should be at the heart of

the communities. Schools themselves do not regenerate areas. If we can

ling to new community and health facilities we will created new

community centre. The council needs Government cash to improve another

five schools. It hopes the initiative will shame Whitehall

into coughing up, but there is no guarantee it will. Still to come:

The seven second goal from the siblg men that stunned Morecambe.

And coming to a stately home near you. The screen version of Jane

Eyre finds a perfect setting in Derbyshire It was important not try

and influence the director about which rooms could be used for which

scene. Now, it was used to treat the poor in the 19th century and

its inte yor was immortalised in a Lowry painting but the future of

the former Ancoats dispensery in Manchester looks in doubt.

Developers have applied to bulldoze the bilt building after a plan to

save it failed. Campaigners are calling on the council to preserve

the Grade-II listed landmark. For more than 150 years it treated

Manchester's sick and injured. Now, the Ancoats Hospital faces its own

fight for survival. This is a monument to Manchester's glory days.

Mark's one of the people fighting to save this landmark:It Matters

because this building is the last bit of historic Manchester here.

This building doesn't need pulling down, it needs enveloping, so that

it doesn't fall down and a developer can deal with it in five,

ten, 15 years time, or whatever the financial cycle turns out to be.

Made famous by this hourry painting, the building finally closed despite

protests in 1996. Only the old dispensery is still standing. Today

this soulless modern building is where you come to get your medicine.

This part of Manchester has now been modernised to such an extent

oaf the last few years the old dispensery is the last remaining

gothic building in this part of the city. Make it into a museum or

something. We are going into the 21st century. We are not going back

to the 18th century. Get rid of the old. Put in new. A decade ago

developers urban splash promised plenty, including to redevelop this

building. We have to make it deliver, because if we don't, we

will never work in this city again. Now in a statement say say after

spending �1 million and searching for three years for a solution, the

deteriorating state of the building means it needs to be demolished for

public safety. The final decision on its future rests with the City

Council. A shame to see it go, wouldn't it. Just up the road from

there, Tony is to see Manchester City make history with their first

Champions League match. Thank you. History of course is an important

word at match city. They have loads of it, but not much of it is any

good. The last time they were at this level in Europe was 1968 and

they knocked out in the first round. We will find out why fans and the

players expect more. Can we expect more from the cricket season? It is

going into the final day and Lancashire still have a chance at

their first title in 77 years. They are playing at Taunton. The find

out the latest let us hear from Liam. A brilliant day for

Lancashire. Plenty of wickets to speak of. Laing share started 247

for three. The first time since Sussex at Old Trafford in 1957 that

all batsmen got into double figures. Then they took five wickets. Stumps

on day three is 105 for 5. Lancashire in control there but the

bad news is leaders Warwickshire are in control against Hampshire in

Southampton. The home side are 43 for three in their second innings.

That means they trail by 126 runs and the truth behind that is if

Warwickshire get seven wickets tomorrow they win the title,

whatever Lancashire do. However, there are full updates throughout

the day on BBC's radio Manchester and Lancashire so you can keep in

touch throughout the day. Back to City. A big night. Great

expectation doesn't do it justice. There will be 45,000 fans here. The

manager's dad has even come for the first time. Here is the fact of the

night. Manchester United are making their debut in the Champions League,

their fourth favourites to win the trophy behind Barcelona and

Manchester United. So how are they coping with the pressure? So, �500

million and three years later. Manchester City havel bode their

way on to the road payed with gold. Players on on the stage that sure

sure has paid for. Never have they had such high ebg -- expectations.

What are they capable of? We are going to win it. Do you not think

you going to get carried away. Mancini will take us there. Will is

nothing we can't do. Do you think you can match Barcelona? Why not?

Want to go all the way and get to the final. City fans deserve it.

The manager's got 14 players in the squad who have played in the

Champions League previously. Three of them will walk down here later

on are winners. With Inter Milan he lost his job, how does he see

tonight? Now Manchester City is one of the best teams in England, and

Europe, I hope. And I think that for u it will be var important to

do very well, our job in this group. Our target is to go in the second

stage, difficult game, probably, because it, a player with a lot of

experience, a lot of our players played in the Champions League. I

don't think they, you can have a pressure for this game. Tonight's

opponents naply will be no push overs and with Villarreal and

Bayern Munich to come he knows it is time for his players to walk the

walk. Manchester United kick off their Champions League campaign

tonight. They will away at Benfica. They lost in the final last year

against Barcelona but Sir Alex Ferguson is happy with the way his

European squad is shaping up. Consistency has been very good for

the last few years. I think that is a good guide to the standard we are,

in terms of Europe. Also the progress we are making. And of

course, we want to continue that. Well, BBC Radio Manchester across

both games tonight. You can get full commentary from FM and DAB

radio. Morecambe stayed top of League Two and Preston carried

their form into the cup. Preston eased pass Charlton 2-0. The first

goal was created by Daryll Russell with an emphatic finish. The second

was Mayer's own work to seal a trip to Southampton. Wigan's Carling Cup

campaign is over, after a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace. Ben

Watson's late strike more than a token. In League One Rochdale came

away with an important three points. Kennedy's goal at home to

Scunthorpe enough to give them back-to-back victories. It could be

time for Tranmere to start to rediscover their early season form.

After a 2-1 defeat against Carlisle leaves them in mid-table. At kins

with the goal for Rovers. Talk about not wasting time,

Macclesfield scored their quickest goal to Morecambe, just seven

seconds it took Ben Tomlinson. is in the bottom corner after just

six seconds. Ben Tomlinson! Danny Carlton poked in an equaliser, a

point enough to stay at the head of the pack thanks to Accrington

Stanley's draw. Away from football for a moment, and Morecambe bike

star skron McGuinness should be recognised in the next honours list

according to his local MP. He is the second most successful TT rider

of he has won it 17 times ch he became the first man to average 130

miles round the course. The MP says he has had many letters calling for

him to be honoured. Let us hope he gets it. We are an hour away from

kick off here. You know, we look ahead, Manchester City, we talked

about their history. It is time for them to look forward. A word of

warning, Abramovich tried to spend his way to the Champions League. He

has not won anything in eight years. Just a word of warning. Thank you.

You are right. On the other hand it could be a City versus United final.

If it rained on you today and it possibly did, did it put you in a

certain mood? And was that mood a certain colour? Last night we told

you how scientists from the NHS and the University of Manchester were

planning to test how the city was feeling using colours. More than

10,000 people took part in the experiment. The first to gauge the

mood of a whole city. More importantly, to look at how to make

it feel better. But did it put a smile on Nina's face? The face that

represents the mood of Manchester. Thousands of people registered what

colour they were feeling this morning, and this was the result.

If he is the face of match he is not looking very happy. He starts

to smile and then he comes a bit neutral. There is lots of yellows

in there which is interesting. A lot of purple and the dark colours

which neutralise the head. So blues and reds are meant to be neural.

Brighter are positive while darker colours reflect a sombre mood.

Participants spent the day doing more exercise, socialising and

eating well in the hope by this afternoon he would look a little

brighter and happier. The science is pretty simple. Every time you do

certain activities you should start to feel better about yourself. That

will release endorphins which will go on the shift your perceptions so

instead of picking out grey or black you more likely to opt for

lilac or yellow. This isn't completely scientific, it is way of

showing us how small changes can make us happier. Most of us have

certain predispositions. My mood is sky blue. How sport and exercise

makes people feel. They get puffed out. They are exhausted after, but

it puts a smile on their faces. 4.00 had Manchester's mood lifted?

More yellows so people Geeling good. They are feeling brighter and he

smiled there properly. He did. There was a smile and I think he is

happier, which is great. Which means Manchester is happier. The

final result will be pub established in December. --

published. Diane said she was feeling orange. I don't know if

feeling orange. I don't know if that has changed but he she is in

red. Feeling good about the weather. We have a temporary improvement. It

only lasts a day but you take your pleasuriers where you can can. We

have this ridge of high pressure, that moves in, and then, by Friday,

it is all gorpbgs and as you head to the weekend, unsettled weather.

Tonight we have another problem. Tonight will be cooler. When I say

cool I will tell you the temperatures in a moment and you

maybe surprised. It isn't going to be good. Through the day we talked

about a lot of cloud cover for a portion of the day and drizzly rain.

The rain wasn't as bad as anticipated. There were a few

showers still round, you can just see them there. There is a bit of

cloud so they will drop south over the next couple of hour, then as

the night goes on, well, this is when the fun starts, because, once

the showers have died away the clearer west weather starts to come

in. Temperatures could go as loi as 3 or 4C. That is room for a touch

of frost on the grass. Now that is the exception rather than the rule.

Many places, towns and cities 8 or 9 and on the coast 10 and 11. But

rurally you could be as low as 3 or 4. There could be a touch of mist

forming, so tomorrow morning looking autumnal. Apart from that

and the chilli feel in some place, this is probably the best day of

the week. -- chilly. It is patchy cloud and sunny spells. That is

only half the story. The wind has changed direction. As you can see

by the number, very light indeed. Less than 10mph for most of us, so

the feel is a quiet one n the sunshine which will win its way

through, it will be pleasant. Temperatures 17 or 18 degrees if

you are very lucky, but because the winds are light it will feel better

than that. And then the outlook for the next couple of days. Look at

that. That is very unsettle. The one thing we start to lose as we

head towards the weekend is the low overnight temperatures, so yes,

tomorrow was nice. Tomorrow is cold but both things are temporary. We

go back to that unsettled weather which will be windy from time to

which will be windy from time to time. That flash on Friday!

possibility not a promise. Next a classic tale of romance and forbid

-- forbiden passion. The latest film version of Jane Eyre is in the

cinemas now. It was filmed in the Peak District and locals must be

getting used to seeing men in breeches chasing young gov

innocences round the place. Why? Because it is the third time in

recent years film directors have chosen Haddon Hall as the perfect

setting for the novel. Our reporter So this is the banqueting hall

where Rochester entertained blarn at the party. Janet the manager at

Haddon Hall shows me behind the swraens the film crew spent day

last year turning it into the home of Mr Rochester. In the driening

room that became his study to, the room above from which Jane makes

her escape. Jane! Jane! In this courtyard, they had horses, and

they arrived for the scene when Blanche arrives, now to get the

horses into this courtyard, what they had do was bring them through

the house. Jane Eyre is almost an industry here. In 1994 a film

version was made with William Hurt. In 2006 the BBC made their TV

series and of course last year in 2010, another film was made. It was

very important not try and influence the director about which

rooms could be used for which scenes. We had to let him decide as

it was most of the rooms were use for the same scenes in both

versions. But the films are good for local business. The Peacock was

delighted to put up Judi Dench. People want to stay where the stars

stayed. It is good for everybody. Everyone involved in this version

of Jane Eyre is hoping it will be great for the box office, and for

the Peak District. It looks fantastic. I went to see it last

week when I was in London, on my own. Fantastic. There is a scene,

the opening scene where you see Haddon Hall, it is really

breathtaking. I didn't realise it was filmed there. Stunning. Made me
