:00:10. > :00:20.Good evening, welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story: Granted the

:00:20. > :00:23.

:00:23. > :00:25.right to a public hearing, Moors murderer Ian Ian Brady will argue

:00:25. > :00:28.he should be transferred to prison. His victims' families will get the

:00:28. > :00:31.chance to face him for the first time. I'd just like to see him and

:00:31. > :00:33.ask him face-to-face why has he murdered him and kept it to

:00:33. > :00:37.himself? We will report live from the Liverpool hospital where Brady

:00:37. > :00:40.has spent the last 25 years. Also tonight: Unlawfully killed, the

:00:40. > :00:44.Lancashire soldier who had been laughing with a comrade seconds

:00:45. > :00:50.before his death in Afghanistan. That story came from a Liverpool

:00:50. > :00:53.news agency and Liverpool journalist. Now Kelvin McKebsy --

:00:53. > :00:56.McKenzie apologises for suggesting the stories came from a Merseyside

:00:56. > :01:01.press agency. Your stories of dementia. We will

:01:01. > :01:06.hear some of the heart-rending tales you have told us in response

:01:06. > :01:14.to our series this week. I feel helpless because I can't give her

:01:14. > :01:17.anything to make her better. the birthday boy Stateside, Amir

:01:17. > :01:27.Khan celebrates his 25th birthday on the eve of his title fight in

:01:27. > :01:38.

:01:38. > :01:41.A judge has granted a request made by the Moors murderer Ian Brady to

:01:41. > :01:44.have a mental health tribunal hearing held in public. It would be

:01:44. > :01:47.the first time that Brady has been seen by outsiders in 25 years. At

:01:47. > :01:51.the hearing Brady will argue he should be transferred to prison so

:01:51. > :01:54.he isn't force fed in the high security Ashworth Hospital. He

:01:54. > :02:01.wants to kill himself by going on hunger strike. He isn't allowed to

:02:01. > :02:07.do that while he is classified as a patient.

:02:07. > :02:11.What will happen at this tribunal, Nina? As you said, for the past 25

:02:11. > :02:15.years Ian Brady has been kept as a psychiatric patient here. What

:02:15. > :02:18.happens is every three years his mental health is assessed and a

:02:18. > :02:22.decision is taken as to whether he will be released from medical care

:02:23. > :02:26.and back into prison. Now usually that assessment takes place behind

:02:26. > :02:31.closed doors, but we found out today the next assessment will be

:02:31. > :02:34.in public. Now as you might know, Ian Brady has been on hunger strike

:02:34. > :02:38.for the past 11 years and in a statement from his solicitor gives

:02:38. > :02:48.a clear insight into why he wants to be transferred from here and

:02:48. > :03:00.

:03:00. > :03:07.What that doesn't explain is why it is that Brady wants this to be in

:03:07. > :03:11.public, do we know? We don't know. Only Ian Brady himself knows why he

:03:11. > :03:14.has been so insist ent on this being a public hearing, perhaps he

:03:15. > :03:18.feels he will have greater sympathy with a public platform. It's worth

:03:19. > :03:23.noting this is the second time that his psychiatric patient has been

:03:23. > :03:27.granted a public hearing. Today the judge stipulated that he won't

:03:27. > :03:33.release details of why exactly he has decided to grant Brady that

:03:33. > :03:38.privilege. And Winnie Johnson, the mother of one of his victims, she

:03:38. > :03:42.has reacted today, too, hasn't she? Yeah, some people have reacted

:03:42. > :03:46.badly saying why should he be given this opportunity to speak in public.

:03:46. > :03:50.But Winnie Johnson's reacted by welcoming the news. She said she

:03:50. > :03:59.will welcome this opportunity to come face-to-face with her son's

:03:59. > :04:04.killer. I'd just like to see him and ask him face-to-face why has he

:04:04. > :04:08.murdered him and kept it to himself? Not just Keith, but anyone.

:04:08. > :04:14.I mean, he got away with the other ones. They found the others but

:04:14. > :04:22.they didn't find Keith and that's the main asset for me, I want him

:04:22. > :04:26.found and before anything. Earlier I spoke with the Ministry of

:04:26. > :04:31.Justice and asked when will this hearing be. They stressed this is

:04:31. > :04:38.such an unusual case the details are still being worked out.

:04:38. > :04:40.Thank you. Lancashire soldier Loren Marlton-

:04:40. > :04:43.Thomas was in an incredibly dangerous environment, doing one of

:04:43. > :04:46.the highest risk jobs in the British Army - hunting out

:04:46. > :04:49.improvised explosive devices. Yet seconds before he died in a lethal

:04:49. > :04:54.explosion in Afghanistan, he was laughing with a comrade about the

:04:54. > :04:57.situation he was in. He'd got stuck in thick mud and the

:04:57. > :05:00.explosion was triggered when one of his colleagues went to help pull

:05:00. > :05:07.him free. Today, an inquest in Blackpool decided he'd been

:05:07. > :05:13.unlawfully killed while on active service. Peter Marshall reports. He

:05:13. > :05:21.was, say colleagues, part of a unique breed, 28-year-old corps

:05:21. > :05:27.Loren -- Corporal Loren Loren Marlton Thomas job was to search

:05:27. > :05:32.out roadside bombs and save other soldiers' lives. From the way he

:05:32. > :05:37.was with his mum and as a husband, who commanded the guys in his team.

:05:37. > :05:41.In November, 2009, his team worked along a narrow path in Helmand

:05:41. > :05:47.Province. They found one IED and made it safe. They Stotted another,

:05:47. > :05:53.and -- spotted another and pulled back to make a safe zone when a

:05:53. > :05:57.device went off. The force was so violent it blew Corporal Marlton

:05:57. > :06:02.Thomas several metres into the waters of the nearby canal. His

:06:02. > :06:11.comrades searched until nightfall tpwu wasn't until the following

:06:11. > :06:16.morning his body was eventually recovered. Sergeant Major Ken

:06:16. > :06:25.Bellringer lost his legs in the explosion. He had gone to help his

:06:25. > :06:28.colleague. But as he moved forward to help it's believed he triggered

:06:28. > :06:31.a device. He was doing the job he loved and he didn't know anything

:06:31. > :06:36.about it. So, I think that's the most important thing to take from

:06:37. > :06:40.today. The sad irony is that the authorisation for what turned out

:06:40. > :06:45.to be this fatal mission was resinneded earlier, but the inquest

:06:45. > :06:53.heard in the fog of war that message was never relayed to the

:06:53. > :06:56.team. A teenager has been charged with

:06:56. > :06:58.the murder of a Sri Lankan shop worker on Merseyside. 30-year-old

:06:58. > :07:03.Mahesh Wikramasingha was found dead at Stanley News on Kingsway in

:07:03. > :07:11.Huyton last week. 19-year-old Sam Harrison of Salerno Drive in Huyton

:07:11. > :07:14.will appear at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday.

:07:14. > :07:17.People living on a chalet site on Walney Island near Barrow say they

:07:17. > :07:20.will lose their homes unless a flood barrier is built. Coastal

:07:20. > :07:24.erosion means the sea has almost reached the edge of the site which

:07:24. > :07:27.has more than 300 homes. So far the Government, council and site owner

:07:27. > :07:32.have refused to pay for the barrier which could cost as much as

:07:32. > :07:37.�680,000. It is getting vital that we have

:07:37. > :07:40.something done before it's too late. Everybody knows it needs doing, but

:07:40. > :07:44.it's just getting somebody to pay for it to have it done. Who do you

:07:44. > :07:49.want to pay for it? Well, we don't really mind who pays for it, as

:07:49. > :07:53.long as somebody does. The Politics Show has interviews

:07:53. > :08:01.with the site owner and the council asking if they're going to take

:08:01. > :08:04.responsibility for it, that's on BBC1 on Sunday.

:08:04. > :08:07.When William Lever set up a new soap factory on Merseyside more

:08:07. > :08:10.than a century ago, he also built a new village for his workers. It was

:08:10. > :08:13.called Port Sunlight and Mr Lever reckoned if he treated his workers

:08:13. > :08:17.well they'd work harder. His soap factory is now part of the

:08:17. > :08:20.multi-national consumer goods firm, Unilever. And today, for the first

:08:20. > :08:27.time in its long history, workers there went on strike. It's over

:08:27. > :08:30.changes to their pensions. Here's our Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill.

:08:30. > :08:37.You're watching industrial history in the making. The first national

:08:37. > :08:40.strike in Unillever's 127-year history. It wants to stop its final

:08:40. > :08:46.salary pension scheme for existing workers and replace it with a

:08:46. > :08:50.career average scheme. Lord Lever knew if you look after your

:08:51. > :08:54.employees they'll look after you and loss of pensions is a huge

:08:54. > :08:59.change in the way that the organisation has gone. It's going

:08:59. > :09:06.to hit us financially really, really significantly. Cath and Mark

:09:06. > :09:08.are research scientists, with 27 years Unilever service between them.

:09:08. > :09:13.They're first-time strikers but feel they had to act. It's a

:09:13. > :09:19.struggle to say yeah, I am going on strike, but with what the company

:09:19. > :09:24.is doing it's a step too far. Something had to be done. William

:09:24. > :09:28.Lever built Port Sunlight so his staff wouldn't have to shreuf in --

:09:28. > :09:31.live in slums. Would he have raised an eyebrow at today's news? This

:09:32. > :09:35.was something dear to his heart. I guess he would have had a bit to

:09:35. > :09:42.say about it. But, unfortunately, these days he might not necessarily

:09:42. > :09:45.have had the money to do anything with it, either. In a statement

:09:46. > :09:50.Unilever said a final pension scheme is no longer viable if tots

:09:50. > :09:54.stay competitive. The company has also withdrawn Christmas hampers

:09:54. > :09:58.and gift vouchers from striking workers and is giving them to

:09:58. > :10:01.charity sentenced. -- instead. Workers also walked out in

:10:01. > :10:10.Warrington and Trafford. There could be more strikes in the new

:10:11. > :10:13.year. The truth - It's a headline that's

:10:13. > :10:15.haunted Merseyside for decades. The Sun's story about Liverpool fans

:10:15. > :10:22.stealing from the dead at Hillsborough was, of course,

:10:22. > :10:25.totally untrue. The paper's been boycotted by many in the city ever

:10:25. > :10:28.since. Now, the editor responsible for that headline has caused

:10:28. > :10:31.outrage once again. Kelvin MacKenzie claimed on TV that

:10:31. > :10:35.the story had been generated by a Liverpool-based news agency. They

:10:35. > :10:40.threatened to sue. And now he says he was wrong, the story came from

:10:40. > :10:45.elsewhere. Our chief reporter, Dave Guest, reports.

:10:45. > :10:48.It was the front page that caused insult and outrage, even more so

:10:49. > :10:52.when it was proved to be totally untrue. For years there's been

:10:52. > :10:56.speculation about where it originated. Yesterday, the Sun's

:10:56. > :11:00.former editor, Kelvin McKenzie said this. That story came from a

:11:00. > :11:05.Liverpool news agency and Liverpool journalist. He later told the BBC

:11:05. > :11:09.he was referring to the Mercury Press Agency in Liverpool. It's a

:11:09. > :11:14.long-established agency that supplies stories to a range of news

:11:14. > :11:20.organisations across the country. can absolutely categorically 100%,

:11:20. > :11:24.on my life, tell you that we did not have any part in it. Mercury

:11:24. > :11:28.Press relies on this city for its bread and butter and many here

:11:28. > :11:32.still boycott the Sun newspaper more than 20 years after the

:11:32. > :11:37.infamous article was published. So, it's no wonder that Mercury's boss

:11:37. > :11:41.aim out fighting. Why on earth he's done it, tkoeu not understand. I

:11:41. > :11:45.think the man is an idiot. But even as we recorded this interview word

:11:45. > :11:50.came through to me that McKenzie had called our newsroom to say he

:11:51. > :11:55.was wrong. The story had not originated at Mercury press.

:11:55. > :12:00.found astonishing he is now prepared to say that he launched

:12:00. > :12:08.into this awful defamation of my company, without thinking, without

:12:08. > :12:17.checking any facts. More than 20 years on from the disaster, the

:12:17. > :12:21.ferore caused by this front page continues. Still to come tonight:

:12:21. > :12:25.Talking Preston. Peter Reudzdeal tells us why he foresees a bright

:12:25. > :12:32.future at north end. Caring for the dearly departed they

:12:32. > :12:39.didn't know. We sort of almost see her as a

:12:39. > :12:42.member of the family now. We are looking after Jane.

:12:42. > :12:46.To something that's struck a chord with you, this week we have been

:12:46. > :12:49.looking at demania, the illness and some of the many issues which

:12:49. > :12:52.surround it. We have spoken to people with the condition, their

:12:52. > :12:56.carers and doctors. We have also been asking for your stories and we

:12:56. > :12:59.have had a huge response. Our health correspondent is here now.

:12:59. > :13:03.Many of you have written to us because you are worried about a

:13:03. > :13:06.relative who's become forgetful. If that's so, you should make an

:13:06. > :13:09.appointment with their GP. But others are telling us that even

:13:09. > :13:12.when do you that the doctor isn't listening and tells you nothing's

:13:12. > :13:18.wrong when you know it is, while some say it's simply taking too

:13:18. > :13:22.long to get the appointment you know know someone needs. Almost all

:13:22. > :13:31.of you who have got in touch are caring or have cared for someone

:13:31. > :13:38.with dementia. Here are three of your stories.

:13:38. > :13:42.Can you remember that time we went... Mike wrote to us about his

:13:42. > :13:45.wife, Margaret. A hospital nurse for many years she was diagnosed

:13:45. > :13:49.with Alzheimer's last year. While looking at her she doesn't look any

:13:49. > :13:54.different, I do everything for her now. Help her to get dressed, do

:13:54. > :14:01.the washing, cleaning, everything that needs doing. I do it in one

:14:01. > :14:06.form or another. But I feel helpless because I can't give her

:14:06. > :14:09.anything to make her better. Linda contacted us because she doesn't

:14:09. > :14:13.believe there is enough support for carers. She looked after her

:14:13. > :14:20.husband, Peter, who had frontal lobe dementia until he died. I feel

:14:20. > :14:23.like really once the diagnosis somebody should tell you exactly

:14:23. > :14:27.what is going to happen to them and happen to you. You are not told

:14:27. > :14:32.that. You are just left with a guessing game. You don't know

:14:32. > :14:39.anything until it's actually all happened to you. This is our very,

:14:40. > :14:44.very special photograph... Ellen's husband John has been in a nursing

:14:44. > :14:48.home for almost a year. This will be their first Christmas living

:14:48. > :14:52.apart in almost 40 years after she made that most difficult decision.

:14:52. > :14:57.It's the most awful thing, not only have you lost them to Alzheimer's,

:14:57. > :15:00.you have lost them from your home. People ask me why do you see John

:15:00. > :15:08.every day, because I want to, because I love him, he is my

:15:08. > :15:17.husband. We do the same things there as we would have done here.

:15:17. > :15:21.What upsets you the most? She's not the same person that she was before.

:15:21. > :15:29.If you are negative and you sit back, just nothing happens. You

:15:29. > :15:32.have got to get up and get out. You get that inner strength from

:15:32. > :15:36.somewhere and you don't know where it's come from, but it does come

:15:36. > :15:46.and you get that and you amaze yourself how strong can you be with

:15:46. > :15:47.

:15:47. > :15:53.Many people in their e-mails talking about diagnosis. Sum up the

:15:53. > :15:58.advice for people if they are concerned. If you are worried, you

:15:58. > :16:05.think somebody is losing their memory, make an appointment with

:16:05. > :16:09.your GP. Some people have said to us, the GPs are not listening. You

:16:09. > :16:16.know your family member best, insist, insist that something is

:16:16. > :16:21.wrong and ask for tests. Everybody taking part has been so brave,

:16:22. > :16:26.baring their souls. Many viewers have really appreciated that.

:16:26. > :16:31.many e-mails from people saying they are in awe, because it is what

:16:31. > :16:36.they are going through to. Peter Dunlop the hospital consultant to

:16:37. > :16:41.spoke, one of his patience said that he treated me from 10 years

:16:41. > :16:45.ago and was one of the most treating and compassionate members

:16:45. > :16:52.of the medical profession I have encountered. Discussing his illness

:16:52. > :16:56.like that is exemplary. He wishes him and his wife the best. It goes

:16:56. > :17:02.without saying that we would like to add our thanks to those of you

:17:02. > :17:08.who have taken part. People have spoken very bravely and movingly

:17:08. > :17:18.about a difficult and troubling disease. Moving on to sport now,

:17:18. > :17:23.Kicking off with Amir Khan, in Washington to defend his world

:17:23. > :17:28.titles. He is determined eventually to become the best pound-for-pound

:17:28. > :17:34.fighter on the planets, something that his friends from Great Britain

:17:34. > :17:44.could never do. But he must get past perhaps his most extraordinary

:17:44. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:55.Amir Khan is a hard man with an even harder mission and he is not

:17:55. > :18:02.letting anybody stand in his way. need to win this to go on to bigger

:18:02. > :18:08.and better fights, the Super fights, the bigger names. To reach those

:18:08. > :18:13.Super fights he must dispatch Lamont's Peterson, one of 12

:18:13. > :18:21.abandoned at six by a drug dealing dad and forced to sleep in bus

:18:21. > :18:28.shelters. He is a man of few words. Talking for two months now, I am

:18:28. > :18:36.tired of talking I want to fight. don't see it going the distance, it

:18:37. > :18:41.is going to be his toughest test. To win it, Amir Khan must fight the

:18:41. > :18:47.fighter and his crowd. He has only lost once in his career, he will

:18:47. > :18:53.have lots of support. But I think we will have much more support.

:18:53. > :19:00.birthday boy who was 25 yesterday had much to say and think about

:19:00. > :19:08.when making his wish. They might just have to match this up on

:19:08. > :19:12.Manchester United will try to put their failure in the Champions'

:19:12. > :19:15.League behind them when they play Wolves at Old Trafford tomorrow.

:19:15. > :19:20.Their attempt to catch up with Manchester City suffered a blow

:19:20. > :19:25.with the news that Nemanja Vidic is out for the season. He injured

:19:25. > :19:29.cruciate ligaments in Switzerland. The battle to avoid relegation sees

:19:29. > :19:32.Bolton take on Aston Villa and Bolton away to Sunderland. Everton

:19:32. > :19:38.who are six points above the drop zone face a tough match against

:19:38. > :19:43.Arsenal in London tomorrow. Protests have been held at Goodison

:19:43. > :19:48.Park over financing the club. Phil Jagielka says he understands their

:19:48. > :19:54.frustration. Unfortunately there is nothing much we can do about it. We

:19:54. > :19:59.haven't got any money and we cannot buy any players to move the squad

:19:59. > :20:05.up. We have to try and be a good a team as we have been in the last

:20:05. > :20:09.few years. Preston North End's new chairman Peter Ridsdale says he is

:20:09. > :20:15.confident the club was soon be back in the championship. Best known for

:20:15. > :20:20.big spending during his time at Leeds United, he says he was

:20:20. > :20:25.unfairly treated for the clubs collapse. So with Preston North End

:20:25. > :20:31.losing hundreds of thousands of pounds every month, can they expect

:20:31. > :20:35.the same fate. My excitement about taking on the job is clear. I want

:20:35. > :20:39.to see a winning football team and a business which is not

:20:39. > :20:46.haemorrhaging cash. So Porter should not be worried that you are

:20:46. > :20:51.here to sell the club. I hope they can no be the same as me, I don't

:20:51. > :21:01.like losing football matches. I hope we can look to what we need to

:21:01. > :21:02.

:21:02. > :21:09.do to get back into the How do you square the circle, of

:21:09. > :21:14.trying to cut costs, and limit the amount of money the owner must put

:21:14. > :21:21.in. He has already put in a lot of money, whilst trying to put the

:21:21. > :21:25.team up towards promotion places? There is a misapprehension about

:21:25. > :21:30.football, thinking you have to put in a lot of money and pay big

:21:30. > :21:35.transfer fees and that is the only way to get success. In five years

:21:35. > :21:41.in Cardiff we brought in 30 million in transfer fees, spent less than

:23:22. > :23:30.That is what has happened in Buxton where the town's historic graveyard

:23:30. > :23:35.is getting a much needed makeshift. Volunteers are being advised to

:23:35. > :23:44.adopt a grave. It is not easy when many of the headstones date from

:24:02. > :24:08.going off to see Jayne. A nice distance from the house, doing a

:24:08. > :24:18.bit of planting and taking care of her. The lady was called Bridget

:24:18. > :24:21.Deacon and she died when she was 67, in 1836. The graveyard is 200 years

:24:21. > :24:27.old and at one time this would have been the place where the wealthy

:24:27. > :24:32.people of Buxton were buried. Now there is only one grave with a

:24:32. > :24:40.living relative left to look after it. The last burial here was in

:24:40. > :24:45.1930. A lot of charity work, to stay nice thing to do in your spare

:24:45. > :24:51.time. The grant will help with structural work, volunteers are

:24:51. > :24:57.concentrating on TLC. A crazy notion but it seems to have taken

:24:57. > :25:02.off. I did not know if it would take off, I hoped it would. It is

:25:02. > :25:07.bizarre. The people down here have been quite excited about it. I have

:25:07. > :25:17.gone home feeling very warm and very happy. There is a lot to do

:25:17. > :25:21.here, but for the occupants at At least something is keeping how

:25:21. > :25:27.warm. The weather certainly isn't. A dedicated bunch in the sleet. I'm

:25:27. > :25:35.going shopping tomorrow, I will be indoors for much of it. Very wise I

:25:35. > :25:40.After a wild week things do change through the weekend. Quieter in the

:25:40. > :25:44.next couple of days but really cold. That digs in through the night

:25:44. > :25:49.tonight. If the ground was already damp then the met Office has issued

:25:49. > :25:54.a yellow eyes warning. That will be in place to around 11am tomorrow

:25:54. > :26:01.morning. The first part of tonight shells, showers will die away, that

:26:01. > :26:06.is because the temperatures could go as low as-two. Along the coast,

:26:06. > :26:10.in the early hours of tomorrow morning, the showers will come in.

:26:10. > :26:14.Over the higher areas there will be sleet and snow, even at lower areas

:26:14. > :26:19.you could get sleet at times. If it is sitting on the ground when you

:26:19. > :26:24.get up it will not linger all, but I am afraid the picture through

:26:24. > :26:28.tomorrow is a bit of a mixed bag. There is an ice risk when you get

:26:28. > :26:33.up, the showers continuing to pile in, there will be some sleet and

:26:33. > :26:39.snow. For most of us just some spots of rain through the morning

:26:39. > :26:43.and by nine or 10 o'clock it should be dry for most of us. Further

:26:44. > :26:49.south the more sunshine you will see, you might catch an hour or so

:26:49. > :26:51.but as we head through the afternoon to around two or 3:00pm

:26:51. > :26:54.you will see the cloud building again towards tomorrow night.

:26:54. > :27:00.Daytime temperatures a bit better than the last couple of days, you

:27:00. > :27:06.might get a seven there. Tomorrow night we have got a total lunar

:27:06. > :27:15.eclipse, it rises at about 3:50pm, chances of seeing it up pretty slim.

:27:15. > :27:20.Once it clears, this rain, it will We had an e-mail asking us where

:27:20. > :27:27.our Christmas tree is. You can sit over there. It is under
