:00:08. > :00:11.Welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story: Was the Met to blame?

:00:11. > :00:21.Greater Manchester's top policeman says the riots came here because

:00:21. > :00:21.

:00:21. > :00:25.looters in London got away with it. If London had been under control

:00:25. > :00:28.sooner, we would not her face the problems in Manchester.

:00:28. > :00:31.But one MP says that doesn't excuse the police response here. Also in

:00:31. > :00:34.the programme: Are they the saviours of Liverpool's skyline?

:00:34. > :00:38.The UN delegates who will decide if a dock development destroys the

:00:38. > :00:41.city's heritage. Lancashire is to lose 14 police

:00:41. > :00:50.stations across the county to save money but is community safety

:00:50. > :00:58.compromised? Saying goodbye to a football legend - Burnley pays its

:00:58. > :01:02.respects to former captain Jimmy Adamson.

:01:02. > :01:12.Hayley Mills may have been the star but we meet the Lancashire village

:01:12. > :01:18.

:01:18. > :01:20.children who made this a silver screen classic 50 years ago. It is

:01:20. > :01:23.difficult to forget the violence and rioting which hit Liverpool,

:01:23. > :01:29.Salford and Manchester in August but could they have been avoided if

:01:29. > :01:32.the Metropolitan police had stopped the riots in London sooner? That is

:01:32. > :01:37.the view of the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Peter

:01:37. > :01:43.Fahy. He is appearing on the BBC's Panorama this evening. Our

:01:43. > :01:46.political editor is here. 100 days since those riots started.

:01:46. > :01:50.Yes, they began in London on Saturday 6th August following a

:01:51. > :01:55.protest over the shooting by police of Mark Duggan. The violence grew

:01:55. > :01:59.in intensity and spread rapidly. By the Monday, trouble began in

:01:59. > :02:05.Liverpool. The following day, August 9th, riots flared in Salford

:02:05. > :02:08.and Manchester with serious violence and looting. Compare what

:02:08. > :02:12.has happened since. So far the Metropolitan Police in London has

:02:12. > :02:14.arrested 3000 people. Merseyside police, 200, and Greater Manchester

:02:14. > :02:24.Police, around 370. Now Manchester's Chief Constable has

:02:24. > :02:28.suggested that could have been avoided.

:02:28. > :02:31.Unforgettable but still difficult to explain. Once the rioting began,

:02:31. > :02:41.it was difficult to stop but could this have been avoided if there had

:02:41. > :02:42.

:02:42. > :02:45.been a sharper response in London? There needed to be control of

:02:45. > :02:50.London because that was just creating more and more copycat

:02:50. > :02:54.violence up here. You feel you could stop it in Manchester if

:02:54. > :02:57.London got control? The Blunden had been under control sooner, we would

:02:57. > :03:00.not have faced the problems in Manchester. Maybe there are clues

:03:00. > :03:02.to the causes in the newly released police interviews with some of

:03:02. > :03:12.those convicted. 18 year-old Michael Fitzpatrick apparently

:03:12. > :03:15.

:03:15. > :03:25.dreamed of university and But this radical also spotted a

:03:25. > :03:26.

:03:26. > :03:35.Today a conference was held at Manchester Business School to

:03:35. > :03:41.discuss what happened. What the Chief Constable of Greater

:03:41. > :03:45.Manchester said today, I personally have enormous respect for. Do you

:03:45. > :03:48.think there was a failure to get to grips with that in London? I think

:03:48. > :03:54.that much is obvious. But critics say Peter Fahy should have been

:03:54. > :04:00.better prepared. Greater Manchester police sent well over 100 fully-

:04:00. > :04:04.trained officers to London when the riots took place but we knew when

:04:04. > :04:07.the riots in Manchester would take place. The leadership didn't do

:04:07. > :04:10.everything they could to protect the people and property in

:04:10. > :04:15.Manchester. After such an exceptional event, all police

:04:15. > :04:25.forces are reviewing how they coped. What do you think lies behind this

:04:25. > :04:26.

:04:26. > :04:31.It is certainly unusual but Peter Fahy is someone who clearly speaks

:04:31. > :04:34.his mind. There has been a defensive response by the Police

:04:34. > :04:37.Federation which represents rank and file officers and they point

:04:37. > :04:40.out that the scale of the violence in London, it was always going to

:04:40. > :04:46.be difficult to get control of that particularly when it started to

:04:46. > :04:52.spread so quickly across the capital. When people saw that kind

:04:52. > :04:55.of criminal shopping spree taking place, people around here clearly

:04:55. > :04:59.felt, I want some of that and they got involved so to an extent, Peter

:04:59. > :05:03.Fahy is absolutely right in his analysis of what happened but the

:05:03. > :05:08.problem for him is that when he apparently criticises what happened

:05:08. > :05:13.in London, people like Graham Stringer look at what happened in

:05:13. > :05:15.Manchester and said, we're not sure you got it right either,

:05:15. > :05:19.particularly that criticism of people sitting as officers stood

:05:19. > :05:22.back. The Commons home affairs committee is doing a report into

:05:22. > :05:27.the policing across the country and it will be interesting to see what

:05:27. > :05:30.conditions they come to. Inspectors from UNESCO, the United Nations

:05:30. > :05:32.cultural organisation, have been in Liverpool today to determine

:05:32. > :05:36.whether the city's waterfront should keep its world heritage

:05:36. > :05:38.status. It follows concern over the style and scale of the multi-

:05:38. > :05:48.billion-pound Liverpool Waters scheme to transform the docks to

:05:48. > :05:51.

:05:51. > :05:54.the north of the city. Our reporter is at Pierhead now.

:05:54. > :05:58.I'm in front of the world famous Three Graces, the buildings that

:05:58. > :06:00.are really at the heart of the world heritage site here. Now that

:06:00. > :06:03.status puts Liverpool alongside places like the Great Wall of China

:06:03. > :06:06.and the Taj Mahal and although its impact here is not quantifiable,

:06:06. > :06:11.there is no doubt it fuels the city's �2.8 billion tourist

:06:11. > :06:14.industry. The area that Peel Holdings want to develop is

:06:14. > :06:21.somewhere along the river, still within the world heritage site

:06:21. > :06:28.between the Prince's and Bramley moor docks. It is what Peel have

:06:28. > :06:31.proposed to do with that area that has prompted real concerns. A

:06:31. > :06:41.UNESCO panel arrived here today to see if this new development

:06:41. > :06:41.

:06:41. > :06:46.jeopardises the city's world heritage status.

:06:46. > :06:50.It might look like a pleasure but this trip is all about business.

:06:50. > :06:54.UNESCO is worried. Is it fair to say the committee is concerned?

:06:54. > :06:58.course, Liverpool has been in front of the world heritage committee

:06:58. > :07:03.since 2006 and that is not without reason. You wouldn't be here if

:07:03. > :07:06.they weren't worried? Certainly. This is the plan they are concerned

:07:06. > :07:10.about, Liverpool Water project that would take 60 hectares of Docklands

:07:10. > :07:16.and use steel, glass and skyscrapers to change the skyline

:07:16. > :07:22.for ever. Peel say it will cost �5.5 billion and create around

:07:22. > :07:28.40,000 jobs. Its critics say it is no more than vandalism. It is a

:07:28. > :07:33.load of glass shoe boxes stuck what are top of the other. Imagine if

:07:33. > :07:38.they did put that in front of the Taj Mahal or the Stonehenge, there

:07:38. > :07:41.would be a world average. Wain: Asked UNESCO to investigate the

:07:41. > :07:48.plans, though not opposed to any development, he says the council

:07:48. > :07:53.has already made mistakes here. In but - no to that under nine, this

:07:53. > :08:01.very Terminal One Building magazine's carbuncle Cup for being

:08:01. > :08:05.the ugliest building in the UK. City needs jobs, a north Liverpool

:08:05. > :08:09.in particular is one of the most deprived areas of the country. The

:08:09. > :08:13.government obviously thinks so because it made it an enterprise

:08:13. > :08:18.zone. I believe it will, in the fullness of time, be good for the

:08:18. > :08:21.city. Is what is good for the City good enough to maintain World

:08:21. > :08:25.Heritage Site status? The city council believes there is room for

:08:25. > :08:29.both. I believe it to be a constructive organisation and an

:08:29. > :08:35.organisation that understands not just how we should protect the

:08:35. > :08:40.status of our world heritage but also how we need to respond to

:08:40. > :08:44.different economic situations and look towards regenerating what is

:08:44. > :08:47.after all a derelict site that has been derelict for 20 years.

:08:47. > :08:51.panel will be in Liverpool considering the plans until

:08:51. > :08:54.Wednesday. We understand the panel will

:08:54. > :08:58.prepare a report about their visit that they intend to publish just

:08:58. > :09:00.before Christmas. The council has told us today that they will delay

:09:01. > :09:03.any decision on planning permission for Liverpool Waters until they

:09:04. > :09:06.have heard from the panel but both UNESCO and the council insisted

:09:06. > :09:09.today that there will be many more discussions before any decisions

:09:09. > :09:19.are made about either the world heritage status or appeal's

:09:19. > :09:22.

:09:22. > :09:25.Liverpool Water plants. A man has been jailed for life after pleading

:09:25. > :09:29.guilty to the murder of a 22 year- old in Blackburn in April. Ryan

:09:29. > :09:36.Livesey was found lying in car park in the town centre with fatal head

:09:36. > :09:38.injuries. Kyle Kay was sentenced to a minimum of 13 years and 10 months.

:09:38. > :09:42.Everton Football Club's official charity has been given permission

:09:42. > :09:45.to set up a free school. From next September, Everton in the Community

:09:45. > :09:51.will provide education for over 100 teenagers who may struggle to learn

:09:51. > :09:55.in a traditional classroom setting. Funding from the government was

:09:55. > :10:00.confirmed by the education secretary Michael Gove this

:10:00. > :10:04.afternoon. I understand that a number of free

:10:04. > :10:07.school opportunities have been developed for a leap provision. We

:10:07. > :10:11.are using the opportunity afforded by the movement to work in

:10:11. > :10:14.partnership with local schools, in partnership with the local

:10:14. > :10:20.authority and local employers to provide light changing

:10:20. > :10:23.opportunities for young people. Ex servicemen from the north-west

:10:23. > :10:27.to said they were made ill through being exposed to radiation during

:10:27. > :10:31.British nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s have taken the battle to

:10:31. > :10:34.the Supreme Court. They blame ill health, including cancer, skin

:10:34. > :10:40.defects and fertility problems on their involvement in weapons tests

:10:40. > :10:44.on Christmas Island. The Ministry of Defence denies negligence.

:10:44. > :10:53.would be amazed, knowing what I know today, with all the so-called

:10:53. > :10:56.experts did not know, as I would say the guinea pig state is that we

:10:57. > :11:01.were being subjected to, I am convinced that we were being used

:11:01. > :11:05.as guinea pigs. Police stations across Lancashire

:11:05. > :11:09.are to close to the public in an attempt to save millions of pounds.

:11:09. > :11:14.Following a public consultation, 14 stations are affected. It will

:11:14. > :11:21.close completely and the other six, front desks were people can report

:11:21. > :11:23.crimes, will be closed. Another 31 buildings will be sold.

:11:23. > :11:28.The front counter at a Lancashire police station that will be

:11:28. > :11:32.remaining open to the public. Others are going to save money and

:11:32. > :11:36.minimise the impact on front line policing. We are going to protect

:11:36. > :11:42.the front line, we got to look elsewhere in the Budget and of

:11:42. > :11:45.course, none of pate lines within our budget, of which the state

:11:45. > :11:51.performs quite a big part, is one of those areas that we have had to

:11:51. > :11:56.visit. Lancashire Police says it will save �386,000 a year from

:11:57. > :12:00.closing up 14 front counters. It will also make �4.5 million and the

:12:00. > :12:05.sale of the buildings as well as saving �500,000 on the upkeep of

:12:05. > :12:10.the buildings. The station has already lost its front can do

:12:10. > :12:16.service as part of the cuts and it will now lose its station. It gives

:12:16. > :12:22.the opportunity for break-ins and every knitter else around here.

:12:22. > :12:26.needed a lot of money to redo it so while has tax payers money being

:12:26. > :12:29.wasted if they are just going to shut it down? Another station

:12:29. > :12:34.closure but a reprieve for its front counter service which is

:12:34. > :12:37.being relocated. That, say local campaigners, still has a good

:12:37. > :12:41.enough. What better location than where the police station is at the

:12:41. > :12:45.moment, right in the middle of the time and time that is at the centre

:12:45. > :12:49.of the wider area. We're very concerned at the prospect of

:12:49. > :12:52.they're just being a front desk facility somewhere else in the town.

:12:52. > :12:58.Lancashire Constabulary say it is people not buildings who cut crime

:12:59. > :13:02.and the policing standards on not drop.

:13:02. > :13:05.Almost 1000 homes in the world are still without gas tonight. You

:13:05. > :13:09.reported on Friday that a burst water main had disrupted supply is

:13:09. > :13:13.there but it is hoped it would be sorted out at the weekend. The

:13:13. > :13:17.National Grid says it may have to go to court to get into some houses

:13:17. > :13:25.it has not been allowed into and many are still relying on the

:13:25. > :13:29.electric heater is distributed by them to keep warm.

:13:29. > :13:34.Engineers have been visiting homes on the world today to restore gas

:13:34. > :13:38.to properties that had supply is cut now for the past three days.

:13:38. > :13:42.For the lucky ones, there is a huge relief. I am absolutely over the

:13:42. > :13:45.moon because the weather is starting to turn up the minute so

:13:45. > :13:49.it couldn't have come at a better time. The biggest problem for

:13:49. > :13:53.National Grid for mains water but has managed to get into the pipe

:13:53. > :14:00.work after a fractured water main disrupted the gas network on Friday.

:14:00. > :14:05.The elderly and the vulnerable are relying on committee support and

:14:05. > :14:10.others have been supplied with stoves. Since Friday, around 4000

:14:10. > :14:14.homes have had their supply is restored. That still leaves around

:14:15. > :14:20.1000 properties without gas. Over 200,000 litres of water have been

:14:20. > :14:24.pumped out of the system, that is the equivalent to 1300 bats. There

:14:24. > :14:28.are still a few properties that engineers have not be able to get

:14:28. > :14:32.access to and in the last resort, the National Grid will rely on a

:14:32. > :14:41.warrant to get in and carried out essential work. We have to turn

:14:41. > :14:45.those properties off Sol for those people, we have notified them and

:14:45. > :14:49.we need to gain access, but has slowed down the process.

:14:49. > :14:59.Householders can claim compensation and work will continue to bring the

:14:59. > :15:06.

:15:06. > :15:12.Good news for many people. Has still to come on North West Tonight.

:15:12. > :15:18.Saying goodbye to a hero from Burnley's heyday. Family friends

:15:18. > :15:23.and fans bid farewell to Jimmy Adams said -- Jimmy Adamson.

:15:23. > :15:28.Remembering their role in a classic, the villagers who made at the cast

:15:28. > :15:38.of Whistle Down The Wind. I did not really know what a fellow Moors,

:15:38. > :15:41.

:15:41. > :15:45.what they did. I did not take it that seriously. Friday his Children

:15:45. > :15:49.in Need tonight and the money you give can save lives. New figures to

:15:49. > :15:53.be released tomorrow will show that more than 11,000 children run away

:15:53. > :15:58.from home a cross the North west every year. Tonight we will hear

:15:58. > :16:02.from a Lancashire teenager who was homeless and suicidal. He was saved

:16:02. > :16:05.on the streets in Blackburn by Nightsafe, a charity supported by

:16:05. > :16:15.Children in Need. We have used an actor's voice to protect his

:16:15. > :16:16.

:16:16. > :16:21.identity. When I was at home, my life was very difficult. My mum and

:16:21. > :16:27.me were always at each other's throats, arguing, it was a horrible

:16:27. > :16:34.environment to be in and it got me more and more depressed. I got very

:16:34. > :16:38.bad, at points I was harming myself, I would break things and you

:16:38. > :16:45.something sharp to harm myself with. I used to go out at night and think

:16:45. > :16:49.of jumping in front of light, or. As soon as one came past, it was

:16:49. > :16:54.like should I jump in front of this, just to avoid all the hassle and

:16:54. > :17:00.pain I was going through. One night, I came back and my mum had imposed

:17:00. > :17:05.a 10pm curfew. I had been locked out of the house. I was 17, out on

:17:05. > :17:14.the streets, not knowing where I would stop that night. At that

:17:14. > :17:19.point faults, I was afraid and felt I had nowhere to turn to. I

:17:19. > :17:24.contacted Nightsafe. It was an emergency shelter for homeless

:17:24. > :17:30.teenagers. I was at Nightsafe for the nine-night that I was a loud.

:17:30. > :17:34.Luckily, I was given a place at this project. It looked like home

:17:34. > :17:38.and felt homely. You have the support workers who are there if

:17:38. > :17:41.you are upset about something and something is difficult for you. You

:17:41. > :17:48.can go out and talk to them and they will give you advice and help

:17:48. > :17:53.you out. A have you got enough for it? We have a lounge, with the

:17:53. > :17:58.television. We have a kitchen where we can make our own food. It is

:17:58. > :18:04.practically like a home. I am very grateful to the project and

:18:04. > :18:08.Nightsafe and Children in Need. If it were not for all these

:18:08. > :18:15.organisations, I would not have a stable home now and I would be out

:18:15. > :18:20.on the streets, maybe been beaten up or in hospital or even worse.

:18:20. > :18:27.will have more on the causes benefiting from your money later in

:18:27. > :18:34.the wake. This year, to raise money we have not got Tony in a V-neck,

:18:34. > :18:38.showing off his chest, doing strictly. Let us talk about sport.

:18:38. > :18:44.All these rumours about Blackburn Rovers having another possible

:18:44. > :18:48.buyer, Venky's may want to sell, this is about today? They have said

:18:48. > :18:52.they have got no plans to sell the club. The to go over I in one year

:18:52. > :18:56.ago. They are reports linking him to Qatar Petrol. Rovers are

:18:56. > :18:59.struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table, with

:18:59. > :19:06.demonstrations against manager Steve King and the owners. One of

:19:06. > :19:10.the owners told BBC Radio Lancaster it that they are not interested in

:19:10. > :19:13.selling. Meanwhile, the Carlos Tevez saga continues. The has

:19:13. > :19:17.chosen to remain in Argentine and not attend a meeting with the club

:19:17. > :19:21.today. It is believed discussions have taken place between the two

:19:21. > :19:27.parties. Tevez flew home to visit his family last week, apparently

:19:27. > :19:32.without permission from his employers. The run not too many

:19:32. > :19:36.successes for the north-west clubs in the FA Cup. Just four of Forsyth

:19:36. > :19:41.live to fight another day. Preston North End will need a replay after

:19:41. > :19:45.drawing nil-nil against Southend. Macclesfield won three-0 at East

:19:45. > :19:49.Thurrock and Oldham three-one at home to Burton Albion. Non-League

:19:49. > :19:57.Fleetwood Town got the better of Wycombe Wanderers two-0, thanks to

:19:57. > :20:00.goals from Andy Mangan and Jamie Vardy. Preston play Southend in a

:20:00. > :20:04.first-round replay a week tomorrow. A win would earn North End a home

:20:04. > :20:08.draw against Oldham in round two. Macclesfield are at Chelmsford with

:20:08. > :20:14.Fleetwood Town getting another home draw. They welcomed Yeovil. Those

:20:14. > :20:19.matches will be played on the weekend of 3rd December and four.

:20:19. > :20:23.The funeral has taken place of a footballer who had legendary status

:20:23. > :20:27.here in the north-west and was once hailed as the best player in

:20:27. > :20:31.Britain. Jimmy Adamson was 82 when he died last week after a career

:20:31. > :20:35.which took Burnley to the very top. Today, fans of all generations made

:20:35. > :20:42.the most of the last chance to thank him. That will have Stanley

:20:42. > :20:48.Matthews,, today it was burly's turn to say goodbye to one of its

:20:48. > :20:52.legends and Jimmy Adams and deserved every second of applause.

:20:52. > :20:57.One he was able to do was to put together a four or five absolute

:21:19. > :21:23.proud of. A very sad day for us all. He is funeral began and ended at

:21:23. > :21:27.the club to whom he devoted all his plane like and his greatest years

:21:27. > :21:34.in management. One of the greatest players this club has ever had and

:21:34. > :21:39.I was lucky to play within over the years. In fact, I look back and

:21:39. > :21:43.think I have so many great years here playing with Jimmy. Of fall-

:23:10. > :23:13.they say has the 50 minutes of fame, but for grip of Lancashire

:23:13. > :23:19.schoolchildren it has to say that it lasted a good deal longer than

:23:19. > :23:24.that. Richard Attenborough chose Downham for the setting for his

:23:24. > :23:29.then Whistle Down The Wind, and he recruited local Lunn -- local

:23:29. > :23:32.youngsters to play many of the parts. It is hard to believe would

:23:32. > :23:40.you look at it now that this picture perfect postcard village in

:23:40. > :23:44.Lancashire was the backdrop for one of Britain's most iconic films.

:23:44. > :23:48.Whistle Down The Wind was a low- budget production produced by

:23:48. > :23:52.Richard Attenborough and directed by Bryan Forbes. Alan Bates and

:23:52. > :23:56.Hayley Mills were the two main storage, but it was the village of

:23:56. > :24:01.Downham and the cast of hundreds of children recruited from the local

:24:01. > :24:06.schools that stole the show. People like this woman who had a starring

:24:06. > :24:09.role as Hayley Mills's sister, it would be many years before she

:24:09. > :24:14.realised just how important the film had been. We did not know who

:24:14. > :24:22.these people were, because we did not go to the cinema let children

:24:22. > :24:27.do now. They were just nice people. Alan now lives in Longridge, so I

:24:27. > :24:33.to come back for a walk down memory lane. By did not really know what a

:24:33. > :24:37.film was, what they did. I did not take it that seriously. A screaming

:24:43. > :24:48.anniversary celebrations. It means a lot really, a reminder of what we

:24:48. > :24:51.looked like. Be it was a lovely film, a beautiful film, I loved

:24:51. > :25:01.being in it. The it had been hope to bring Hayley Mills back for the

:25:01. > :25:08.

:25:08. > :25:17.anniversary but she was filming in South Africa. You can see loads

:25:17. > :25:27.more on that in Inside Out at 7:30pm. He was a little character

:25:27. > :25:30.

:25:30. > :25:33.The weather for the next few days will be very boring. It is fairly

:25:33. > :25:36.cloudy for the next two or three days. This morning and this

:25:36. > :25:40.afternoon we had a lot of cloud around and because of this blanket

:25:40. > :25:44.of cloud, it has not been particularly warm, 10 degrees at

:25:44. > :25:49.best. Some places have troubled to see temperatures in double figures.

:25:49. > :25:53.Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, a lot of cloud around and

:25:53. > :25:58.the temperatures not really improving very much at all. This

:25:58. > :26:05.evening, lots of cloud around, some occasional spots of rain. It will

:26:05. > :26:10.be fairly misty and murky. A bit of a south-easterly breeze and

:26:10. > :26:15.temperatures may drop fairly close to freezing in some rural areas.

:26:15. > :26:21.For Tuesday, same story all over again, another cloudy day, at

:26:21. > :26:26.fairly cool day and we may see some breaks in the cloud. We are going

:26:26. > :26:29.to start off very dull and drab tomorrow morning. The clouds are

:26:29. > :26:33.there from the word go. They will try to break up through the

:26:33. > :26:38.afternoon, and the some will try to break through. We may see some

:26:38. > :26:42.bright spells here and there. Temperatures will not be

:26:42. > :26:49.particularly warm, very similar to today. At but at the south-easterly

:26:49. > :26:55.breeze. 10 or 11 degrees tomorrow. Across some parts of Lancashire,

:26:55. > :26:59.highs of eight or nine degrees. Heading into Wednesday, more cloud,

:26:59. > :27:05.a touch milder perhaps, with temperatures as high as 11 degrees.

:27:05. > :27:11.Heading into Thursday and Friday, it is very boring, cloudy, not

:27:11. > :27:16.particularly one, 12 or 13 degrees at best. Make the most of it. If
