:00:02. > :00:06.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Tony

:00:06. > :00:09.Livesey. Our top story: Heavy rain, strong winds and floods.

:00:09. > :00:17.Buildings are damaged and roads closed as bad weather hits the

:00:17. > :00:21.region. There was an 8 ft wide river running next to the house,

:00:21. > :00:23.which we have never had before. We'll have the latest on what

:00:23. > :00:27.damage the weather has caused. Also tonight:

:00:27. > :00:29.Faking it in the Festive season - we're with trading standards as

:00:29. > :00:32.they track down counterfeit goods in Manchester.

:00:32. > :00:36.The private company helping deliver babies in the Wirral, but what are

:00:36. > :00:40.the benefits for parents? Hitting the right note - the people

:00:40. > :00:44.with dementia finding support through singing.

:00:44. > :00:53.And a simple pet or something more sinister? A gruesome discovery in

:00:53. > :00:56.the hills of Pendle. It is an intriguing story, the sort of story

:00:56. > :01:06.that if Steven Spielberg got his teeth into he would have a

:01:06. > :01:08.

:01:08. > :01:12.Heavy rain and strong winds have been battering the region. Homes

:01:12. > :01:15.have been flooded, roads closed and ferries and flights cancelled. The

:01:15. > :01:18.worst hit part of the north-west was the Lake District. Several

:01:19. > :01:22.homes were flooded, drivers had to be rescued from stranded cars and a

:01:22. > :01:26.number of major routes were shut. Eight flood warnings remain in

:01:26. > :01:36.place across the region this evening. Stuart Pollitt reports

:01:36. > :01:36.

:01:36. > :01:40.from one village which has born the High in the hills above Windermere

:01:40. > :01:47.flash flooding has left its mark on the village of Troutbeck. This is

:01:47. > :01:52.what it's done to Cathy's home. 6am we came into the kitchen and

:01:52. > :01:57.there was about an inch of water on the floor. I was trying to sweep it

:01:57. > :02:01.up and drive it off while my partner was outside, trying to dig

:02:01. > :02:05.out the Culbert, because there was an 8 ft wide river running next to

:02:05. > :02:10.the house, which we have never had before. The council came to give us

:02:10. > :02:13.eight sandbags, but I am wary about going to sleep tonight.

:02:14. > :02:21.Cathy's wasn't the only house damaged here. A mile up the road

:02:21. > :02:26.from Troutbeck we found Natyi. He'd tried to drive through this puddle.

:02:26. > :02:31.The car stopped and we tried to push it. We are soaking wet now. It

:02:31. > :02:36.was here. It was on my thigh when I was standing in the water. Word has

:02:36. > :02:42.it been like? Horrendous, everywhere, not good at all. We

:02:42. > :02:47.have been up and down the back of the lake, trying to get to hear.

:02:47. > :02:53.Water just running off the side, mud on the roads, everything.

:02:53. > :02:56.Horrible. This road was one of those shot this morning due to the

:02:56. > :02:59.heavy rain. It has now reopened and people are keen to stress that

:02:59. > :03:02.while the weather is pretty spectacular, it is nothing like on

:03:02. > :03:05.the scale that it was when there was widespread flooding two years

:03:05. > :03:09.ago. Elsewhere in the region the ferry

:03:09. > :03:11.to Heysham has been cancelled and planes from the Isle of Man have

:03:12. > :03:15.been cancelled. But the problems we reported yesterday with food

:03:15. > :03:18.shortages have eased. The wind ripped the roof off this rugby

:03:18. > :03:20.clubhouse in Oldham. And this was the scene in Morecambe. The

:03:21. > :03:24.Environment Agency warned of the dangers of promenades around high

:03:24. > :03:29.tide this evening, due at 10pm. The Agency says eight flood warnings

:03:29. > :03:39.and 13 alerts remain across the north-west. In this village,

:03:39. > :03:39.

:03:39. > :03:49.they'll be hoping the worst of this storm has passed.

:03:49. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:58.So what's ahead of us weather-wise We had wins over 65 mph today.

:03:58. > :04:02.Still a yellow warning in force. Fire winds. As the winds ease, they

:04:02. > :04:06.are replaced with another problem. Shower moving in, so ice on

:04:06. > :04:13.untreated surfaces first thing tomorrow morning. Full details at

:04:13. > :04:16.With Christmas just around the corner, we're all keen to bag a

:04:16. > :04:19.bargain. But when a bargain seems too good to be true, it almost

:04:19. > :04:22.certainly is. Police and Trading Standards officers are warning us

:04:22. > :04:24.all to resist the temptation of buying fake goods this festive

:04:25. > :04:27.season. They've been touring warehouses and lock-ups across

:04:27. > :04:31.Manchester seeking out counterfeit merchandise. And they've had quite

:04:31. > :04:34.a bit of success, as our chief reporter, Dave Guest, can tell you.

:04:34. > :04:37.Where are you Dave? I'm afraid I can't tell you. The

:04:38. > :04:41.location of this place is a secret because it's packed full of dodgy

:04:41. > :04:45.goods and in the wrong hands they could be worth a fortune. This is

:04:45. > :04:52.just a small sample of the �1.5 million of counterfeit gear that's

:04:52. > :04:56.Police and Trading Standards officers investigate a clothing

:04:56. > :05:03.warehouse down a back street in Manchester. Something about the

:05:03. > :05:07.place has aroused their suspicions. We just want to see why the

:05:07. > :05:11.shutters were half down and whether they were trying to hide something.

:05:11. > :05:14.This is a very busy area and with the shutters half down, we may be

:05:14. > :05:17.thinking they are trying to hide something from us.

:05:17. > :05:25.They become even more suspicious when the man in charge says the

:05:25. > :05:28.only way to the storeroom is up this conveyor belt. Police are

:05:28. > :05:31.looking through the stock, to determine whether it is innocent,

:05:31. > :05:34.or something they are going to show more interest in.

:05:34. > :05:36.As it happens, there was no counterfeit stock here.

:05:36. > :05:40.Elsewhere this week, however, investigators have found plenty.

:05:40. > :05:47.The names are all familiar, but everything here is fake, part of a

:05:47. > :05:52.haul worth �1.5 million and counting. We found a massive amount

:05:52. > :05:55.of items. It has surprised us. people will say that when you buy

:05:55. > :05:59.these goods, you know they are fake and they will not last long, so

:05:59. > :06:04.what is the problem? The money that goes to the traders for these goods

:06:04. > :06:08.is being used for other criminal purposes. It might be funding

:06:08. > :06:12.future smuggling up drug smuggling operations. It can be linked to all

:06:12. > :06:19.sorts of criminality. But is that message getting through

:06:19. > :06:23.to consumers? Have you ever been tempted to buy something you are

:06:23. > :06:28.suspicious of? No, because the quality is no good. You would buy

:06:28. > :06:32.it if the price was right? Yes. Would you not be concerned about

:06:32. > :06:42.where the money was going? Probably not.

:06:42. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:46.Trading Standards say their operation is still far from over.

:06:46. > :06:50.They will be hanging on to this to see if there are any prosecutions.

:06:50. > :06:54.After that, the clothing will be passed on to needy people in this

:06:54. > :06:56.country and abroad. More of the day's news from around

:06:56. > :06:59.the region. Police have arrested a 51-year-old

:07:00. > :07:03.man on suspicion of the murder of a mother and daughter in Southport.

:07:03. > :07:06.The bodies of Angela Holgate and her 75-year-old mother Alice Huyton,

:07:06. > :07:10.pictured here with her husband, Jim, were found at a house in Churchtown

:07:10. > :07:13.on Saturday. A postmortem revealed they'd died of asphyxiation.

:07:13. > :07:17.A teenager's being questioned by police about the death of a Sri

:07:17. > :07:20.Lankan shop assistant in Huyton on Merseyside. Mahesh Wickramasingha

:07:20. > :07:24.was stabbed in the neck last Wednesday at Stanley News on

:07:24. > :07:27.Kingsway. A 19-year-old was arrested on suspicion of his murder

:07:27. > :07:30.last night. A Wirral woman has taken her

:07:30. > :07:33.campaign to Westminster for better access at cinemas for disabled

:07:34. > :07:37.people, after she became fed up with what she calls "second class

:07:37. > :07:41.service". Catherine Alexander was one of 400 disabled film lovers who

:07:41. > :07:51.were in London today along with the Muscular Dystrophy Society as they

:07:51. > :07:52.

:07:52. > :07:59.handed over a petition. The main issue is the inconsistency between

:07:59. > :08:02.cinemas, even within the same chain. One person in one place will have a

:08:02. > :08:05.really good experience and someone else goes to the same chain in a

:08:05. > :08:15.different place and they get a completely different standard of

:08:15. > :08:20.

:08:20. > :08:25.service. A disabled grandmother say she's

:08:25. > :08:28.prepared to go to prison after refusing to fill out her census

:08:28. > :08:31.form on moral grounds. She is believed to be the first person in

:08:31. > :08:35.the North West to come to court over this issue.

:08:35. > :08:40.Sarah has never been in trouble with the law in her life, until now.

:08:40. > :08:45.She found herself summoned to court today. If found guilty, she faces a

:08:45. > :08:49.�1,000 fine, or in the worst case, prison. I have got nothing to fear.

:08:49. > :08:54.If they charge me a fine, I have told them I will not pay any fine,

:08:54. > :08:59.of course. I am quite prepared to go to prison. I know in my heart I

:08:59. > :09:02.am not guilty. It is a legal obligation to fill in the census.

:09:02. > :09:07.Sarah refused because of involvement of this company,

:09:08. > :09:11.Lockheed Martin UK, part of Lockheed Martin US, America's

:09:11. > :09:16.largest arms manufacturer. Others who came out to support her have

:09:16. > :09:21.taken the same action. It is very courageous, very brave. You have to

:09:21. > :09:26.have principles. It is symptomatic of this society that people with

:09:26. > :09:36.principles and morals are being taken to court. The Office for

:09:36. > :09:39.

:09:39. > :09:43.It says it follows EU directives, under which any company from any

:09:43. > :09:48.sector or company can bid for the work. Sarah says the decision to

:09:48. > :09:53.prosecute her is an over-reaction. There has nobody been harmed, for a

:09:53. > :09:56.start. There is no crime being committed, it is just words on a

:09:56. > :10:06.paper at the end of the day. pleaded not guilty and will now

:10:06. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:11.appear at Crown Court for a trial An NHS trust in the region has

:10:11. > :10:15.become the first in the country to sign a contract with a private

:10:15. > :10:17.company to provide maternity care. It means women can choose to be

:10:17. > :10:21.looked after by an individual, named midwife throughout their

:10:21. > :10:24.pregnancy and after the birth of their child. The idea has been

:10:24. > :10:31.trialled succesfully in Wirral. Now other health trusts around the

:10:31. > :10:35.country may follow suit. Eleanor Mortiz reports. This baby was born

:10:35. > :10:38.14 days ago. Her mum is one of a growing number who have opted to be

:10:39. > :10:43.cared for by midwives employed by a private company on behalf of the

:10:44. > :10:49.local NHS Trust. I felt relaxed, and I felt that help with the whole

:10:49. > :10:53.pregnancy and the Labour and the birth. Her midwife care for her all

:10:53. > :10:57.through her pregnancy. She has a case load of 35 women and she can

:10:57. > :11:01.be contacted at any time of day. got a phone call the other day

:11:01. > :11:07.asking if someone could get their ears pierced when they are pregnant.

:11:07. > :11:12.Anything. Text, e-mail, phone calls in the night - this is going on, I

:11:12. > :11:15.don't know what to do - anything, and we are there. It is important

:11:15. > :11:20.for a mother to get to know the midwife, to feel she can trust her

:11:20. > :11:24.and build up a relationship with her. On trial over the last 18

:11:24. > :11:28.months, nearly 400 women have given birth in Wirral under this scheme.

:11:28. > :11:33.Now the company has won a three- year contract. They get paid no

:11:33. > :11:38.more than an acute trust would be paid by the NHS. In the two weeks

:11:38. > :11:44.since the contract was signed, around 10 babies have been born

:11:44. > :11:48.using these midwives. Most of them, like Isabelle here, home births.

:11:48. > :11:51.is trying to put the patient at the centre of what we are doing, to

:11:51. > :11:56.have both options. We are not saying the other option is a bad

:11:56. > :12:00.option. We are saying there is room for different sorts of services for

:12:00. > :12:06.different sorts of people. The idea has the support of the Government,

:12:06. > :12:10.but not Labour's health spokesman, who was in the region today. I am

:12:10. > :12:13.opposed to taking the score, crucial services in the NHS, such

:12:13. > :12:17.as maternity and accident and emergency, and going headlong

:12:17. > :12:21.towards a full competitive commercial market. The company has

:12:21. > :12:25.now secured insurance so it can provide De Vries in hospital, as

:12:25. > :12:34.well as antenatal and post-natal care, and it is in talks with other

:12:34. > :12:39.Still to come on North West Tonight: from kick-boxing to torch

:12:40. > :12:42.cunning, the 20 road from Oldham given an Olympic corner.

:12:43. > :12:51.And a simple cottage or host to a witches coven? The strange

:12:51. > :12:54.discovery in the Pendle countryside. One of the things you need most

:12:54. > :12:56.when living with dementia is support. It is a slow and painful

:12:56. > :12:59.illness, which robs people of their memories, their personalities and

:12:59. > :13:02.their independence. Today, in the latest of our series

:13:03. > :13:07.on dementia, we look at just some of the help out there both for

:13:07. > :13:17.those with the illness and their carers. Our health correspondent

:13:17. > :13:30.

:13:30. > :13:37.It is a simple singalong, run by And yet for everyone who comes here

:13:37. > :13:44.once a fortnight, this could not matter more.

:13:45. > :13:54.It is one of the highlights of my husband's life. He is a dead ball -

:13:55. > :13:58.

:13:58. > :14:07.Many of those here today struggle with their memory. But these old

:14:07. > :14:17.songs are deeply ingrained. And almost everyone knows not just the

:14:17. > :14:18.

:14:18. > :14:21.tune, but the words as well. Sometimes, finding the right song

:14:21. > :14:27.can access so many memories and things that people did not even

:14:27. > :14:30.realise they had in them. Sometimes that will spark off other memories

:14:30. > :14:33.in people. For Brenda and George, this is particularly important.

:14:33. > :14:40.After years of caring for her at home, George finally decided that

:14:40. > :14:45.Brenda needed more care and she now lives in a home. I get her out

:14:45. > :14:50.sometimes that he or four days a week and I feel as if I have

:14:50. > :14:56.abandoned or if I leave her in there. Harold too needed more

:14:56. > :15:00.support. Living alone with dementia after his wife died, he struggled.

:15:00. > :15:05.I often found him wandering around in his slippers, trying to buy

:15:05. > :15:10.things from the garage. His medication was the biggest concern

:15:10. > :15:15.as well. He had taken five over those in the last 12 months, by

:15:16. > :15:18.accident. Now he lives here in the Shore Green community in

:15:18. > :15:21.Wythenshawe. It is specifically for people with dementia. There is 24-

:15:22. > :15:24.hour help and support from carers like Chris, but those who live here

:15:24. > :15:28.have their own homes and some independence, while it also means

:15:28. > :15:31.couples like Alf and Doris can stay together.

:15:31. > :15:34.Tomorrow night, the Singing for the Brain Group will perform in BBC

:15:34. > :15:44.Radio Merseyside's carol service, with all proceeds going to the

:15:44. > :15:48.

:15:48. > :15:56.Alzheimer's Society. Well, those were just two schemes

:15:56. > :16:04.really to offer support. We have had lots of emails praising the

:16:04. > :16:08.work of the Alzheimer's Society. Also, one from a lady called June

:16:08. > :16:11.Smith to say that she and a friend of hers, who both cared for someone

:16:11. > :16:14.with dementia, have also set up a similar singing group in Salford.

:16:14. > :16:17.Lyn Jones had lots of praise for the Open Doors project in Salford.

:16:17. > :16:22.It employs someone with dementia to work with people newly diagnosed

:16:22. > :16:26.and their families, offering them support and advice. Tomorrow night,

:16:26. > :16:29.we will be looking in more detail at some of your stories that you

:16:29. > :16:31.have kindly been sending in. That's the final part of our series on

:16:31. > :16:34.dementia. Football, and Wayne Rooney will be

:16:34. > :16:37.available for England's last group match in the Euro Championships now

:16:37. > :16:40.that UEFA have reduced his ban to two matches. In October, he was

:16:40. > :16:43.banned for three matches after being sent off in Montenegro for

:16:43. > :16:46.kicking a defender. An appeal panel today suspended the third match of

:16:46. > :16:48.the ban for four years. Rooney has also agreed to do a day's community

:16:49. > :16:51.service with a football project. A chauffeur-driven limousine took

:16:51. > :16:54.Rooney to that appeal in Switzerland last night, after

:16:54. > :16:56.Manchester United's shock exit from the Champions League. Their 2-1

:16:56. > :17:00.defeat in Basle has been described as "embarrassing" by defender

:17:00. > :17:06.Patrice Evra. He says failing to qualify is a "catastrophe" for

:17:06. > :17:08.United. Manchester City were also knocked

:17:08. > :17:16.out, despite beating Bayern Munich last night. Richard Askam now

:17:16. > :17:21.reports on the cost to both clubs. Similar fields of -- feelings of

:17:21. > :17:25.disappointment, but different implications. City's first year in

:17:25. > :17:30.the Champions' League but only the third time in seven years that man

:17:30. > :17:39.United have gone out at this stage. It is disappointing. I have never

:17:39. > :17:44.been out in the first-round. It is a catastrophe. With debts of around

:17:44. > :17:48.�450 million and hefty interest payments to service, the reds look

:17:48. > :17:53.to miss out on millions of Champions League money. It think it

:17:53. > :18:03.will affect the club financially. very disappointing. Most fans

:18:03. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:11.expected decide to get the point they needed it. A late goal was

:18:11. > :18:18.little consolation for the manager. That is a penalty for not

:18:18. > :18:26.qualifying. For Manchester City, step one was beating Bayern Munich.

:18:26. > :18:31.Step two, Napoli it slipping up that not happen. It is

:18:31. > :18:36.disappointing, because we have the capability. Even though mantissa

:18:36. > :18:42.City do not have debt, their exit comes at a cost. It will not help

:18:42. > :18:45.him fit in with your way for's fair-play rules. In simple terms,

:18:45. > :18:51.clubs will not be able to spend much more than the urn. Would

:18:51. > :18:57.wrecker losses, up to �20 million of revenue would have helped

:18:57. > :19:01.restore the balance. Many of that fans in the city would have felt

:19:01. > :19:05.that the Premier was to Italy did - - win the Premier League title and

:19:05. > :19:10.after tonight that focuses even cleaver. Premier League. I am not

:19:10. > :19:20.too bothered about tonight. disappointed, but it to the steep

:19:20. > :19:22.

:19:22. > :19:25.curve. Do -- it is a steep curve. I know it is difficult in this cold

:19:25. > :19:28.weather, but we're going to think ahead now to next spring when

:19:28. > :19:31.hundreds of people across the North West will have the honour of

:19:31. > :19:34.carrying the Olympic torch as it travels around the country. All the

:19:34. > :19:37.torch bearers have been chosen because of what they give back to

:19:37. > :19:40.local communities and this morning they got the news that they had

:19:40. > :19:47.been picked. I'm delighted to say one of them joins us now, Andrew

:19:47. > :19:53.Lofthouse from Oldham, and the man who nominated him, Kevin Lloyd.

:19:53. > :20:00.Congratulations. Thank you very much. He does it feel? It is an

:20:01. > :20:08.outstanding opportunity to be involved. To get involved in any

:20:08. > :20:18.way is fantastic. Kevin, what did you say to nominate Andrew? I think

:20:18. > :20:21.

:20:21. > :20:25.it came through the street games project. There are a lot of things

:20:25. > :20:29.involved in it. From a local community. A view, he is heavily

:22:15. > :22:21.If you've been chosen to carry the torch we would like to hear your

:22:21. > :22:24.story too so let us know by e-mail. The people of Pendle in Lancashire

:22:24. > :22:27.are used to spooky happenings. It is, after all, Britain's best known

:22:27. > :22:31.witching county, where around a dozen of them were said to have

:22:31. > :22:36.gathered in the 17th century, many later executed. But even for locals,

:22:36. > :22:38.Pendle's latest discovery is a bit scary.

:22:38. > :22:43.Engineers were working on reinforcing a dam at the bottom of

:22:43. > :22:46.Pendle Hill when they began to uncover a cottage. As they explored

:22:46. > :22:55.further, things got stranger and stranger. Nina Warhurst proved she

:22:55. > :22:58.is not afraid of Pendle's witches Don't you just hate it when you're

:22:58. > :23:08.trying to reinforce a dam and you come across a possible 17th century

:23:08. > :23:11.witches' meeting house? What did you think when it started to be

:23:12. > :23:15.stripped back in use all it was that house two be contacted the

:23:15. > :23:20.county archaeologist and that that surveys. Once we started seen the

:23:20. > :23:26.walls, it was interesting. And when the archaeologists arrived things

:23:26. > :23:31.went from interesting to plain creepy. A very unusual thing at the

:23:31. > :23:38.end of a project was an be on block doorway into this room and we found

:23:38. > :23:43.this cat. What had happened to it? They felt the need to be enacted

:23:43. > :23:47.luck charm in the wall. It was not lucky for the cat, but it was hoped

:23:47. > :23:53.were lucky for the occupants. This room has been deliberately sealed

:23:53. > :24:01.off for some purpose. Why? We will never know. It is a bit of a

:24:01. > :24:04.mystery. Though perhaps not for local

:24:04. > :24:06.historian's who for decades have been searching for Malcin Tower,

:24:06. > :24:12.where the witches met almost 400 years ago. When the building has

:24:12. > :24:15.been unearthed, I was bowled over, because it is only one of the few

:24:15. > :24:22.buildings that is still around today that it is related to the

:24:22. > :24:27.witches. So this could be that our? It could be. It is amazingly, this

:24:28. > :24:31.building almost wanted to be found. If you too live in the shadow of

:24:31. > :24:41.Pendle Hill, it might be an idea to revisit that mound in the back yard.

:24:41. > :24:42.

:24:42. > :24:52.You might also want to keep a close eye on your cat.

:24:52. > :24:59.
