Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger

:00:01.:00:11.
:00:11.:00:12.

Johnson. Our top story... Back in court - the gunman accused

:00:13.:00:16.

of shooting a student in a Boxing Day attack. We will hear from a

:00:16.:00:18.

community left shocked and ashamed. Also tonight...

:00:18.:00:21.

Battered by gale force winds. Plane passengers were among those forced

:00:21.:00:24.

to endure a bumpy ride today. The rising cost of rail - commuters

:00:24.:00:28.

face an unhappy new year with a 6% price hike.

:00:28.:00:31.

Why are our train fares a lot higher than anywhere else in

:00:31.:00:37.

Europe? And who's a clever boy then? We

:00:38.:00:41.

will tell you how a pet parrot helped save a litter of newborn

:00:41.:00:51.
:00:51.:00:54.

Most of us have been blown off our feet today getting abouT, and it

:00:54.:01:02.

isn't over yet. Dianne is here with the latest details. I am afraid the

:01:03.:01:07.

weather is not settling down for the next 24 hours. Through the day,

:01:07.:01:15.

the wind has been gusting up to 67 mph in Crosby on Merseyside. The

:01:15.:01:23.

conditions don't change much over the next day or so. The Met Office

:01:23.:01:26.

have issued a yellow warning, it will continue to be strong all

:01:26.:01:29.

through tonight, and for some parts it will be strong through the day

:01:29.:01:33.

tomorrow, as well. Tomorrow it will be windy, there will be gales at

:01:33.:01:36.

times, but we will also have more rain. More details later in the

:01:36.:01:37.

programme. At Happy New Year to you, too.

:01:38.:01:47.
:01:48.:01:50.

Thank you very much. The family of an Indian student

:01:50.:01:54.

shot dead in Salford last week are on their way to Manchester. They

:01:54.:01:56.

hope to visit the scene of the crime tomorrow.

:01:56.:02:00.

Anuj Bidve died in Ordsall on Boxing Day. A man accused of his

:02:00.:02:02.

murder has made a second court appearance this afternoon. The

:02:02.:02:05.

police and council leaders have agreed to meet concerned residents

:02:05.:02:07.

in Ordsall later this week. Stuart Flinders reports.

:02:07.:02:10.

This is the man accused of Anuj Bidve's murder. In court yesterday

:02:10.:02:12.

he identified himself as Psycho Stapleton. He is, in fact, Kiaran

:02:12.:02:15.

Stapleton, a 20-year-old from Ordsall. A police car has been

:02:15.:02:18.

parked throughout the day at the place where Mr Bidve was shot dead.

:02:18.:02:21.

In the early hours of Boxing Day he was walking through Ordsall with

:02:21.:02:25.

friends when he was attacked. He was in the North West to study at

:02:25.:02:29.

Lancaster University. His family is expected to arrive in Manchester

:02:29.:02:32.

tomorrow after meeting officers from Greater Manchester Police at

:02:32.:02:38.

their home in India. We met with Anuj Bidve's family

:02:38.:02:42.

last night for several others and were able to fill in some of the

:02:42.:02:46.

gaps in the understanding of the events that leads to this tragic

:02:46.:02:48.

loss. A provisional trial date for Kiaran

:02:48.:02:51.

Stapleton, who was remanded in custody at a second hearing today,

:02:51.:02:59.

has been set for June. Only when that to judicial process

:02:59.:03:03.

is completed will be Noel who killed Anuj Bidve and wide, but

:03:03.:03:07.

does the crime tell us something about Salford? This is the centre

:03:07.:03:11.

of Ordsall. The crime scene is about a quarter of a mile in that

:03:11.:03:16.

direction, and the same direction - - distance in this direction is

:03:16.:03:22.

Media City, where the BBC is making TV programmes. Which is the real

:03:22.:03:25.

Salford? A service was held last night to

:03:25.:03:28.

show that most local people are decent. They are so concerned about

:03:28.:03:30.

what is happened they have organised a meeting with the police

:03:30.:03:33.

and local councillors for Thursday. And they insist their area is

:03:33.:03:39.

improving. We have been living here since 2005

:03:39.:03:45.

in April or May, and I do like living here, honestly. When we look

:03:45.:03:51.

-- lived here it looked more rough than now.

:03:51.:03:53.

It has got better? Much better.

:03:53.:03:57.

But the leader of the city coundil knows the killing is a blow to

:03:57.:04:00.

Salford's reputation. This crime, unfortunately, has

:04:00.:04:04.

highlighted Salford. We need to do what we can do, which is to show

:04:04.:04:08.

that community at its best, and that is what I think has happened

:04:08.:04:11.

over the last few days. Mr Bidve's family is hoping to see

:04:11.:04:20.

where he died on Thursday before Smashed roofs, fallen trees and

:04:20.:04:23.

closed roads - heavy winds gusting to over 70 mph have caused problems

:04:23.:04:27.

across the region today. Country estates have also closed their

:04:27.:04:30.

grounds to visitors, and one family in Lancashire had a lucky escape

:04:30.:04:33.

after part of a neighbouring house fell on their home. Our reporter

:04:33.:04:43.
:04:43.:04:44.

Abbie Jones has been taking a look Boarding up in Blackburn. Windows

:04:44.:04:48.

were smashed and the roof of this house damaged after it was hit by

:04:48.:04:51.

part of a neighbour's extension which blew off in high winds.

:04:51.:04:55.

There was a crash into the side of the House, Bow House felt as if it

:04:55.:05:00.

actually moved. I went to check, didn't realise the roof had come

:05:00.:05:05.

off. The roof of St Helens new Rugby

:05:05.:05:15.
:05:15.:05:16.

League stadium was also ripped off. The side are due to play their

:05:16.:05:19.

first match in less than three weeks. The strong winds caused

:05:19.:05:22.

heachaches for pilots at Manchester Airport. Planes buffeted by the

:05:22.:05:25.

wind struggled to land and one had to abort. The weather also forced

:05:25.:05:28.

the closure of the Wood Head pass, which links Manchester to Sheffield.

:05:28.:05:30.

And Dunham Massey's grounds, in Altrincham, along with Quarry Bank

:05:30.:05:34.

Mill in Styal and Lyme Park in Stockport. And this is what those

:05:34.:05:37.

winds sounded like. They caused the Beetham Tower in Manchester to hum

:05:37.:05:47.
:05:47.:05:49.

loudly this morning. Dust speed trap over 73 mph

:05:49.:05:53.

according to data collected here at the Meteorological Agency here in

:05:53.:05:57.

Manchester. The winds continued right into the afternoon and got

:05:57.:06:03.

even stronger. They have been around 45 mph, which

:06:03.:06:07.

is significant, not record-breaking, but it continues this pattern of

:06:07.:06:11.

windy weather we have had for around six weeks now. There doesn't

:06:11.:06:15.

seem to be any end in sight. There were also flood warnings on

:06:15.:06:19.

the M6 today. Rivers in Tebay, Levens and Millonthorpe in Cumbria

:06:19.:06:23.

were swollen. And were high water levels the reason this little chap

:06:23.:06:25.

was stranded on the Mersey in Latchford? He eventually made it

:06:25.:06:35.
:06:35.:06:38.

back into the water after five We saw there, strong winds

:06:38.:06:41.

battering the north-west coast line, but there is a question about

:06:41.:06:49.

whether our sea defences are strong enough to protect coastal areas.

:06:49.:06:53.

Councillors on the Fylde coast say no. They are campaigning for a �100

:06:53.:06:54.

million upgrade of the sea defences there.

:06:54.:06:59.

It is on days like this you can appreciate the awesome ferocity of

:06:59.:07:05.

the sea. It is on days such as this you can also appreciate the need

:07:05.:07:10.

for sea defences. Some say the defences on this

:07:10.:07:13.

stretch of the course are not robust enough.

:07:13.:07:18.

The fear is this coastline will erode, these people's houses and

:07:18.:07:23.

businesses will be drastically affected.

:07:23.:07:26.

Blackpool and wire borough councils are asking for improvements to the

:07:26.:07:35.

sea defences along a 1.9, to stretch of the coast. The sea wall

:07:35.:07:39.

at cross salt may seem stout enough, but experts say this wall is only

:07:39.:07:47.

good for another five years or so. After that, the homes it currently

:07:48.:07:53.

protects could be in danger. Living straight across from the sea

:07:53.:07:57.

defence is very concerning. How often do you see the tide

:07:58.:08:01.

coming over? It is particularly bad at this time

:08:01.:08:05.

of the year with high winds, and the road has been blocked quite a

:08:05.:08:09.

lot of this week. The Environment Agency's Regional

:08:09.:08:13.

Flood and coastal committee is due to meet in March to consider this

:08:13.:08:17.

and a number of other pending schemes. It will then decide

:08:17.:08:21.

whether to allocate funding to this scheme this year or whether it will

:08:21.:08:31.
:08:31.:08:31.

A man has been charged with setting fire to BBC Radio Manchester's

:08:31.:08:34.

radio car during the riots last summer. The car was burned out as

:08:34.:08:39.

rioters attacked Salford Precinct and looted shops on August 9th. Zac

:08:39.:08:43.

Challoner, 23, also faces charges of violent disorder and burglary.

:08:43.:08:49.

He has been remanded in custody. The family of a 20-year-old man

:08:49.:08:52.

murdered in Liverpool have launched a fresh appeal for information on

:08:52.:08:58.

the first anniversary of his death. Eddie Pybis was shot while in the

:08:58.:09:00.

passenger seat of a silver Volvo that was travelling along Utting

:09:00.:09:06.

Avenue in Anfield. In a statement his family say their lives have

:09:06.:09:08.

been turned upside down. Seven men arrested on suspicion of murder

:09:08.:09:12.

have been bailed pending further enquiries.

:09:12.:09:16.

We had a good response, initially, at the commencement of the

:09:16.:09:20.

investigation, and I am sure there are people out there who will no

:09:20.:09:30.
:09:30.:09:34.

what has gone on in this investigation.

:09:34.:09:36.

A Manchester woman who died from gallstones six years ago was

:09:36.:09:39.

discriminated against, according to a report by the Health Service

:09:39.:09:41.

Ombudsman. Doctors assumed that Carole Foster, who was 52, needed

:09:41.:09:44.

psychiatric treatment because of her medical history. The report

:09:44.:09:46.

said the Pennine Acute Hospital Trust and the Pennine Care NHS

:09:46.:09:50.

Foundation Trust failed to meet her needs and her death could have been

:09:50.:09:51.

avoided. A five foot crocodile is among

:09:51.:09:55.

dozens of reptiles that have been stolen from a pet shop in Stockport.

:09:55.:09:58.

As well as the crocodile - pictured here - snakes and lizards were

:09:58.:10:03.

taken from the Stockport Pet Warehouse in Heaviley last night.

:10:03.:10:06.

Experts are warning they can be extremely dangerous in the wrong

:10:06.:10:16.
:10:16.:10:28.

Rail passengers have reacted angrily to the latest fares

:10:28.:10:32.

increase which has seen some ticket prices in the North West go up by

:10:32.:10:35.

more than 10%. The train companies say the higher prices will help pay

:10:35.:10:37.

for much-needed improvements, like electrification and more carriages.

:10:37.:10:38.

Our Transport Correspondent, Colin Sykes, reports.

:10:38.:10:41.

Trains have never been more popular. But with the current squeeze on

:10:41.:10:44.

family finances, an average increase of 5.9% has gone down

:10:44.:10:45.

badly. I think if the Government should

:10:45.:10:50.

subsidise them better than they do. The train companies are romping up

:10:50.:10:55.

fears for higher profits, it is as simple as that.

:10:55.:11:04.

It seems like an awful lot to me. If they had adjusted for inflation

:11:04.:11:08.

of wages, except a, it would have been more reasonable. I can

:11:08.:11:18.
:11:18.:11:18.

understand why people are angry. All will the average increase is

:11:18.:11:23.

around 6%, there are regional variations. A ticket from Crewe is

:11:23.:11:33.
:11:33.:11:40.

going up by 10 %. That is an Passenger numbers are going up,

:11:40.:11:44.

more people are using the railways, there is more money coming in. The

:11:44.:11:50.

railways must do their part and become more efficient.

:11:50.:11:53.

Improvements are on the way with more electrification and more

:11:53.:11:57.

carriages. But can passengers be expected to pay more of the bill?

:11:57.:12:01.

Ultimately the cost of the railways will reduce, and that will reduce

:12:01.:12:05.

not only the burden to the taxpayer, but hopefully the burden to the

:12:05.:12:08.

rail user. In the past, higher fares might

:12:08.:12:12.

have pushed some passengers back into their cars. But, with rising

:12:12.:12:18.

fuel costs, that is no longer an option for many.

:12:18.:12:22.

Earlier in the day we asked if you were feeling the effects of the

:12:22.:12:25.

fare rises - and James de Wolf got onto facebook straightaway to say

:12:25.:12:28.

"On the train to work now from Barrow-in-Furness and being charged

:12:28.:12:30.

20% more per day, equating to 20% more per day, equating to

:12:30.:12:40.
:12:40.:12:47.

around �40 per month extra." Nicholas Bacon writes...

:12:47.:12:57.
:12:57.:13:03.

Claire Miller has another stark example and says...

:13:03.:13:13.
:13:13.:13:31.

Stu Taylor's trying to take it on This is a common complaint, people

:13:31.:13:35.

can't see the investment. Exactly, these things take a long

:13:35.:13:39.

time. A point made frequently is that people object to rail

:13:39.:13:43.

companies making money, but this is part of the privatisation deal,

:13:43.:13:47.

they have to make money to be successful. The odd image is about

:13:47.:13:50.

how much of that money they put how much of that money they put

:13:50.:13:54.

back into the rail service. There are plenty more, people have

:13:54.:13:58.

also said, at least we knew about the training crease that, we did

:13:58.:14:01.

not know about the bus ticket increases.

:14:01.:14:06.

One piece of good news is that a lot of people on the trains were at

:14:06.:14:09.

able to buy -- were able to book an advance on the internet.

:14:09.:14:15.

Yes, they were cushioned a little. Thank you very much for all your

:14:15.:14:24.

responses. Still to come on North West

:14:24.:14:26.

Tonight... The brains behind the brawn - the

:14:26.:14:29.

sports scientist helping our Olympic stars go for gold in London.

:14:29.:14:32.

And sitting pretty - how a pet parrot helped save a litter of

:14:32.:14:42.
:14:42.:14:44.

The football world started the year mourning one of its own. Former

:14:44.:14:47.

Liverpool and Everton defender Gary Ablett died on New years day. He

:14:47.:14:52.

had been suffering from the cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

:14:52.:14:55.

But while he will be remembered by most as a brilliant footballer, he

:14:55.:14:58.

was also a man who, like so many, fought cancer bravely and with

:14:58.:15:05.

dignity. As a player and a manager, Gary

:15:05.:15:12.

Ablett was respected and admired. One he was brilliant, a brilliant

:15:12.:15:17.

player, Liverpool should never have sold him. It is just tragic, a

:15:17.:15:20.

tragic loss and he will be sadly missed, he really will.

:15:20.:15:23.

But Kenny Mayall didn't know who Gary Ablett was when they met at

:15:23.:15:28.

the Christie two months ago. To him he was simply a patient battling

:15:28.:15:33.

cancer like him. Just to have someone to tattoo on a

:15:33.:15:39.

day-to-day basis, he was not able to walk very well, and I was quite

:15:39.:15:44.

able to book on the days I was not booked up. To sit there and have a

:15:44.:15:48.

nice conversation with someone really brings a pure spirits.

:15:48.:15:52.

Gary and Kenny became friends. They shared a curry, Gary even got him

:15:52.:16:01.

signed football shirts to help with One of the two last e-mails I got

:16:01.:16:05.

from him he said he had control of his diabetes. I thought he was

:16:05.:16:10.

getting better, so to hear he had died was a total shock.

:16:10.:16:13.

But Gary's case is far from isolated. It is actually the fifth

:16:13.:16:16.

most common cancer in the UK. It attacks the lymph tissues in the

:16:17.:16:23.

body and research shows its incidence is slightly higher in men.

:16:23.:16:27.

Some patients can be treated successfully, but others are very

:16:27.:16:30.

resistant to treatment, conventional chemotherapy and

:16:30.:16:35.

radiotherapy, even stem cell transplants, and it appears in this

:16:35.:16:39.

case that Gary Ablett, sadly, had an aggressive form of the lead node

:16:40.:16:47.

cancer. -- lymph node. As fans in Liverpool

:16:47.:16:50.

today signed a condolence book to Gary Ablett the footballer, Kenny

:16:50.:16:58.

Mayall simply been remembering a man that cancer made a friend.

:16:58.:17:00.

Following that news both sets of players will be wearing black

:17:01.:17:03.

armbands as a tribute to Gary tonight. Liverpool will also be

:17:03.:17:06.

holding a minute's silence before their FA Cup tie against Oldham at

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:18.

Anfield on Friday. The festive period has been a topsy-turvy one

:17:18.:17:28.
:17:28.:17:31.

in football's Premier League. Man City lost at Sunderland. Blackburn

:17:31.:17:37.

won at Man United. Liverpool have had a better time of

:17:37.:17:42.

it, four points out of six, and Steven Gerrard is back and fit.

:17:42.:17:46.

Before we look ahead to tonight, let's catch up on how teams did

:17:46.:17:51.

yesterday. There was more doom and gloom for

:17:51.:17:56.

Rovers, a bracing win for Blackpool and Stanley have gone nine games

:17:57.:18:06.
:18:07.:18:08.

birthday Steve Kean was reaching for the fizz himself after

:18:08.:18:12.

Blackburn came back down to earth with a bump losing at home to Stoke.

:18:12.:18:14.

After stunning Old Trafford and frustrating Liverpool at Anfield

:18:14.:18:17.

over Christmas, a win could have taken Rovers out of the bottom

:18:17.:18:19.

three, but despite David Goodwillie's scrambled strike they

:18:19.:18:22.

went down 2-1 and stay second bottom. Better news in the

:18:22.:18:24.

Championship. Blackpool under Ian Holloway are aiming to get back

:18:24.:18:27.

into the Premier League at the first attempt. A comfortable 3-0

:18:27.:18:30.

win over Middlesborough moved the Seasiders to within a point of the

:18:30.:18:35.

play-off places. In League One, 2012 continued where the old year

:18:35.:18:39.

finished off for Bury. The Shakers followed up a victory on Boxing Day

:18:39.:18:43.

with a 2-1 win over Walsall. This Peter Sweeney free-kick being a

:18:43.:18:47.

great early shout for goal of the month. It helped his team move up

:18:47.:18:54.

to ninth. A couple of local derbies to finish off in League Two.

:18:54.:18:56.

Accrington Stanley pummelled Macclesfield with Andy Proctor

:18:56.:19:01.

completing a 4-0 drubbing. And Morecambe got back to winning ways

:19:01.:19:11.
:19:11.:19:12.

with this Kevin Ellison effort at It is fair to the fizz has gone a

:19:12.:19:16.

bit flat on Roberto Mancini's New Year so far. He is not happy that

:19:16.:19:19.

City are playing their second game in 48 hours after the New Year's

:19:19.:19:22.

Day defeat at Sunderland. But a win tonight would restore a three point

:19:22.:19:27.

lead over United who play at Newcastle tomorrow. If Liverpool

:19:27.:19:35.

win, they are right back in the mix for a Champions' League spot. Wigan

:19:35.:19:38.

need to beat Sunderland tonight to move out of the bottom three.

:19:38.:19:42.

We have had it confirmed in the last few minutes that the FA have

:19:42.:19:47.

told us that Liverpool will not be appealing against Luis Suarez's

:19:47.:19:51.

eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra.

:19:51.:19:56.

We will have the best of the action from City, Liverpool and Wigan's

:19:56.:20:03.

game against Sunderland. Now for the first in a week of

:20:03.:20:06.

special reports about the impact of sports science in the region. You

:20:06.:20:09.

might think it is just for top Olympic athletes and Premier League

:20:09.:20:11.

footballers, but the science has also helped celebrities, thanks to

:20:11.:20:14.

a professor in Liverpool. All of us could do with it after

:20:14.:20:17.

Christmas, as well. Greg Whyte, who is based at John

:20:17.:20:20.

Moores University, has trained the likes of David Walliams and Eddie

That shows you what sport science is, it is an incredibly broad

Someone will have to do something amazing to top that story at the

windy, there will be deals at times, but the biggest story is we will

rain last night whipped away today. We had showers in the afternoon.

:26:00.:26:05.

This is the current state of play. There are more showers coming

Towards dawn it gets cold as it tends to this year, and it may go
