:00:09. > :00:12.Good evening from North West Tonight. Our top story: A male

:00:12. > :00:16.nurse at Stepping Hill Hospital he is arrested on suspicion of

:00:16. > :00:20.poisoning a patient and tampering with medical records. Police

:00:20. > :00:26.revealed and 82-year-old man died on New Year's Eve after being given

:00:26. > :00:30.contaminated saline their last summer. He is the 4th victim.

:00:30. > :00:35.Anguish for the parents of an Indian student shot in Salford.

:00:35. > :00:41.They held talks at Westminster before taking his body home.

:00:41. > :00:46.He was very straightforward, very disciplined, very soft-spoken. He

:00:46. > :00:50.was very friendly. He was a very good son it to me. A man is jailed

:00:50. > :00:56.for 30 years for a brutal killing her behind this door. Would this

:00:56. > :01:04.have victims still be alive if he had not been a loan shark?

:01:04. > :01:06.Mayhem and the miracle goal. The high winds are being blamed for

:01:06. > :01:14.both. Bringing new meaning to determine

:01:14. > :01:24.mood music. The feelings of the city of Manchester turned into a

:01:24. > :01:26.

:01:26. > :01:30.symphony. A male nurse is tonight being

:01:30. > :01:33.questioned by detectives over the suspected poisoning her of a

:01:33. > :01:38.patient at Stepping Hill Hospital. He was arrested after staff told

:01:38. > :01:42.police they believed a medical records had been tampered with. All

:01:42. > :01:48.this as a major investigation continues into the deliberate

:01:48. > :01:53.contamination of saline drips at the hospital. Detectives revealed a

:01:53. > :01:58.4th patient is believed to have been poisoned -- to be poisoned in

:01:58. > :02:03.June. Our reporter is at the hospital. Two developments today.

:02:03. > :02:10.Start with the arrest. Once again tonight, this hospital

:02:10. > :02:14.finds itself at the centre of media attention. A male nurse has been

:02:14. > :02:17.arrested. It came after staff here are alerted police and said they

:02:17. > :02:23.believed some records had been tampered with. As a result, a

:02:23. > :02:28.patient received the wrong medication. This new inquiry is

:02:28. > :02:32.focusing on exactly what happened at Ward A3 earlier this week. That

:02:32. > :02:35.is when staff told police medical records had been altered. As a

:02:35. > :02:44.result, someone was given in appropriate medication. An arrest

:02:44. > :02:52.was made today. The 36 Rob male nurse was arrested under section 23.

:02:52. > :02:57.-- 36-year-old male. He administered poison. Among those

:02:57. > :03:02.visiting the hospital there was surprise at the news. A I am

:03:02. > :03:06.stunned. Really stunned. I have seen the security guards. I am not

:03:06. > :03:10.scared. I feel reassured they are there. Stepping Hill became

:03:10. > :03:15.embroiled in a major police investigation last summer when a

:03:15. > :03:20.saline drips were contaminated. Nurse Rebecca Leighton was arrested

:03:20. > :03:25.then released without charge. The inquiry, codenamed Operation

:03:25. > :03:29.Roxburg, continued. Detectives who are investigating the cases of 20

:03:29. > :03:34.patients who were poisoned by that saline. They include Tracey Arden,

:03:34. > :03:40.Derek Weaver and Arnold Lancaster, who died last year. Today, police

:03:40. > :03:44.revealed a fall has now died. 82- year-old Bill Dixon passed away

:03:44. > :03:49.uneasy. -- a 4th. The hospital has been working closely with

:03:49. > :03:55.detectives. Apparently, it is a result of heightened security that

:03:55. > :03:59.the altered records were noticed. This is a search for the truth into

:03:59. > :04:03.the set of circumstances reported on 3rd January specifically.

:04:03. > :04:11.patient who received the wrong medication has been checked and

:04:11. > :04:15.given the all-clear. Inquiries into how it happened a still in their

:04:15. > :04:19.infancy. To recap, tonight, they are at the

:04:19. > :04:26.attention of two investigations. The first of those began last year

:04:26. > :04:34.are into that tampering of a saline. The second began in just this week,

:04:34. > :04:38.following those suspicions that records had been tampered with. The

:04:38. > :04:40.question the police cannot answer is whether or not those two

:04:40. > :04:48.investigations will eventually be linked.

:04:48. > :04:52.Thank you. It is a journey that no parent wants to make. Today,

:04:52. > :04:57.Subhash and Yogini Bidve arrived in the UK to collect their son's body

:04:57. > :05:01.after he was shot in Salford 10 days ago. They paid an emotional

:05:01. > :05:06.tribute to a Anuj Bidve, their friendly and good son, at

:05:06. > :05:10.Westminster. They met Keith Baz to discuss the investigation. Tomorrow,

:05:10. > :05:20.they will visit Ordsall, the scene of his death. Residents there are

:05:20. > :05:24.meeting with the police. Residents have been arriving here

:05:24. > :05:27.at the community centre for the meeting that is due to start in

:05:27. > :05:31.about 30 minutes. It is an opportunity for residents to

:05:31. > :05:35.discuss their concerns, their feelings and their shock 10 days

:05:35. > :05:39.after that terrible event. I have spent the afternoon here in Ordsall.

:05:39. > :05:43.People have spoken to me about the VAT they are concerned the area

:05:43. > :05:53.will become synonymous with that the really shocking crime. They

:05:53. > :05:58.also expressed sympathy for the parents of Anuj Bidve. 10 days ago,

:05:58. > :06:03.this family could not have imagined they would be paying tribute to 23-

:06:03. > :06:08.year-old Anuj Bidve who had the world at his feet. He was very

:06:08. > :06:18.straightforward, very disciplined, very soft spoken. He was very

:06:18. > :06:20.

:06:20. > :06:24.friendly. He was a very good son to me. Despite their grief, they

:06:24. > :06:28.stressed Anuj Bidve had been happy here and the best tribute for him

:06:28. > :06:33.would be for international students to continue studying in the UK. In

:06:33. > :06:37.the community where he was shot, there is great sadness. Danielle

:06:37. > :06:45.and a may have worked in the community cafe for three years and

:06:45. > :06:51.never had any trouble. -- Amy. They are determined to honour him.

:06:51. > :06:56.a strong community. People like living here. They like helping in

:06:56. > :07:01.the community. I think the community spirit will still be here.

:07:01. > :07:05.Mike moved to Ordsall 12 years ago. He is upset has suggested as this

:07:05. > :07:10.is not a tolerant community. People are very friendly and welcoming.

:07:10. > :07:15.That is to people from all over the world. This is Ordsall, opposite

:07:15. > :07:22.the docks, and ships came in from all over the world, people came to

:07:22. > :07:26.live here and stay. We have all sorts of people. People are very

:07:26. > :07:36.welcoming and very helpful to people. It's a heavy police

:07:36. > :07:38.

:07:38. > :07:43.presence remains in Ordsall tonight. We heard from Subhash and Yogini

:07:43. > :07:52.Bidve at Westminster where they were meeting Keith Vaz. They are

:07:53. > :07:57.expected to be in Ordsall tomorrow. What have a resident said?

:07:57. > :08:01.Residents have been a very upset that this has happened in a

:08:01. > :08:05.community that has worked hard to build a reputation. Many stressed

:08:05. > :08:09.they were at that vigil that a place to remember Anuj Bidve and

:08:09. > :08:13.they looked forward to the opportunity for his parents to come

:08:13. > :08:18.here and for them to talk about how sorry they are about what happened.

:08:18. > :08:23.I have to say, there are two or three people who would talk to us

:08:23. > :08:26.on camera and a whole lot more say they have been grateful for the

:08:26. > :08:31.police presence but they are concerned when all of this dies

:08:31. > :08:35.down and the police disappear, there might be more trouble in the

:08:35. > :08:41.area. Any deal will bring us an update

:08:41. > :08:46.later. -- Nina. Martin Ithell was brutally

:08:46. > :08:52.murdered. In court today, he was described as a loyal, kind,

:08:52. > :08:55.generous man, always there to help others. He was also a loan shark.

:08:55. > :08:59.When his killer Scott Davidson could not repay a debt which had

:09:00. > :09:05.spiralled out of control he hatched a plan to kill him. His girlfriend

:09:05. > :09:09.had been his assistant. Martin Ithell's family left court

:09:09. > :09:14.still clearly distraught at the loss of a much-loved partner and

:09:14. > :09:22.brother. A his life was tragically taken away and has left our family

:09:22. > :09:26.with a boy. Martin Ithell was also a loan shark. His killer was

:09:26. > :09:31.described as a man with ideas above his station, a man who wanted to

:09:31. > :09:35.borrow his way to happiness. Rachel Horton was his girlfriend and

:09:35. > :09:40.accomplice. They shared a house here. This was where they had lured

:09:41. > :09:48.Martin Ithell to his death. He had lent �16,000 for two Davidson but

:09:48. > :09:53.within four month, it had spiralled to �26,000. Martin Ithell arrived

:09:53. > :09:57.here thinking he was going to get his money. Within moments, he lay

:09:57. > :10:03.dying on the floor in the hall, shot through the heart and stabs

:10:03. > :10:08.nine times in the neck. This was the murder weapon. As he lay dying,

:10:08. > :10:16.the pair cleaned walls which the judge said must have resembled the

:10:16. > :10:25.scene of a horror film. Hours later, David Sinnott drove the body to the

:10:25. > :10:35.police station. Outside court, -- Davidson, outside court there was

:10:35. > :10:42.

:10:42. > :10:46.this statement. He was not a loan Davidson received a life sentence

:10:46. > :10:50.for murder. He will not be considered for parole for 30 years.

:10:50. > :10:55.Rachel Horton pleaded guilty to manslaughter. She will serve three

:10:55. > :10:59.years in a young offenders' institution.

:10:59. > :11:02.Three men have been jailed for a total of 21 years for their part in

:11:02. > :11:04.a burglary which saw one of their accomplices stabbed to death.

:11:04. > :11:07.Homeowner Peter Flanagan acted in self-defence when he fatally

:11:07. > :11:10.stabbed John Bennell after the gang broke into his home in Salford.

:11:10. > :11:12.Wesley Gibbons, Martin Jamieson and Christopher Troy were today jailed

:11:12. > :11:22.for eight, seven and six years respectively for aggravated

:11:26. > :11:31.attempted bank robbery where a letter was handed to the cashier

:11:32. > :11:35.demanding �50 notes. When the offender got to the counter at

:11:35. > :11:40.Lloyds TSB, he brandished the note, requesting cash and said he was

:11:41. > :11:46.armed. He ran away empty handed. The Government has agreed to meet

:11:46. > :11:50.most of the costs of policing the summer riots in Manchester. 85% of

:11:50. > :11:54.the two forces' operational costs have been met as well as all claims

:11:54. > :11:59.made under the Riots Act. Manchester will receive �9 million

:12:04. > :12:09.number of cases of whooping cough more than doubled last year

:12:09. > :12:12.compared to 2010. The Health Protection Agency recorded 107

:12:12. > :12:16.cases. It says vaccination remains the best way of controlling the

:12:16. > :12:19.disease. Some of the 100 or so reptiles

:12:52. > :12:56.is in Cumbria. 1,000 homes across the north-west are without power.

:12:56. > :13:02.Engineers say they have had to deal with 150 electrical faults caused

:13:02. > :13:12.by the weather. Road and rail travel has been delayed. Trees and

:13:20. > :13:25.destruction around the region. This couple had a lucky escape when a

:15:32. > :15:40.with the wind behind you... Is the worst over? Dianne will be here

:15:40. > :15:43.with the latest weather at the end of the programme. Still to come on

:15:43. > :15:45.North West Tonight. Blowing in the wind. But we'll tell you why

:15:45. > :15:48.Everton's Tim Howard didn't celebrate becoming a goal-scoring

:15:48. > :15:58.goalie. And the sports scientists going to great lengths to help the

:15:58. > :16:05.

:16:05. > :16:07.region's top swimmers make a splash It keeps going! If every day at

:16:07. > :16:10.work you had access to a physio, detailed analysis of your

:16:10. > :16:16.performance and the help of a psychologist - would it improve

:16:16. > :16:18.you? Not sure if that would be good for us here...but for some of the

:16:18. > :16:21.region's top swimmers it's essential. In the latest of his

:16:21. > :16:23.special series Stuart Pollitt's been seeing how sports scientists

:16:23. > :16:33.help Olympic hopefuls at the Stockport Metro club get their

:16:33. > :16:43.

:16:43. > :16:48.minds and bodies in shape. That is a brilliant swim from Tim Goddard!

:16:49. > :16:52.Out of the water are the people who help create those champions. People

:16:52. > :16:58.like physios Lee, a psychologist Simon and performance analysis to

:16:59. > :17:04.bend. This morning, Ben is working with Michael on his terms. Some

:17:04. > :17:09.sessions, I might be uncomfortable for two years -- two hours. With

:17:09. > :17:12.Michael, it is one of the best that we have. There's always room for

:17:12. > :17:18.improvement. I have seen him head- to-head with the best in the road -

:17:18. > :17:27.- in the world. He knows that, because using his database, it can

:17:27. > :17:32.compare performance with such swimmers as Michael Phelps. From

:17:33. > :17:42.the first turn, after 50 metres, Michael is keeping up with Michael

:17:43. > :17:43.

:17:43. > :17:47.Phelps. On the third term, he is dropping another 0.4 of the second.

:17:47. > :17:52.You are going to struggle to pick that up. The most important thing

:17:52. > :17:56.is to stay fit enough to be able to compete. What we are trying to set

:17:57. > :18:02.up is a series of exercises for Michael which works on areas which

:18:02. > :18:05.are potentially weak, so we look at areas where swimmers have problems

:18:05. > :18:09.traditionally, such as these shoulders. After he has got his

:18:09. > :18:15.body into shape, it is time to see if Michael's wind is in the right

:18:15. > :18:19.place. It is think about it, if you take eight people in that final,

:18:19. > :18:25.and they are all suffering the same times, the psychology can be

:18:25. > :18:28.different. If you look at just 10 years ago, swimmers would not

:18:28. > :18:33.contemplate the level of support that we have now. If you look at

:18:33. > :18:38.that, there is no reason why we can't compete and be phenomenally

:18:38. > :18:46.successful in London 2012. Delivering that success is what

:18:46. > :18:56.drives the scientists as much as the swimmers. Stewart says they

:18:56. > :19:04.

:19:04. > :19:07.Shall we move on? We will check and Now they say it's an ill wind that

:19:07. > :19:10.blows nobody any good, and that couldn't be more true for Everton

:19:10. > :19:13.goalkeeper Tim Howard. With a wind- assisted kick from his own penalty

:19:13. > :19:15.box, the veteran keeper scored his first ever goal. But it wasn't

:19:15. > :19:23.enough to save Everton from defeat against Bolton. Meanwhile,

:19:23. > :19:29.Manchester United were blown away at Newcastle. How can a goalkeeper

:19:29. > :19:32.score from his own penalty area? # The answer, my friend, is blowing

:19:32. > :19:35.in the wind... # Tim Howard became only the fourth

:19:35. > :19:39.keeper to score in the Premier League when the ball bounced high

:19:39. > :19:43.over Bolton's goalie. Howard was loathe to celebrate, feeling

:19:43. > :19:48.sympathy for his opposite number sympathy for his opposite number

:19:48. > :19:51.Adam Bogdan. But Everton's luck reaped a whirlwind four minutes

:19:51. > :19:54.later when Bolton hit back with a fine goal from David Ngog. And

:19:54. > :19:56.despite being in the middle of transfer talks with Chelsea,

:19:56. > :20:04.Wanderers captain Gary Cahill kept his composure to score the winner

:20:04. > :20:09.12 minutes from time. When you get 1-0 up by freak goal, you hope you

:20:09. > :20:11.can hold on, but in truth, we did not deserve it, and Bolton did.

:20:11. > :20:14.St James Park Manchester United were first struck by Toon Army

:20:14. > :20:22.tornado, Demba Ba. Then hit by a thunderbolt from Yohan Cabaye, and

:20:22. > :20:26.finally shaken by a catastrophic error by Phil Jones. Sir Alex says

:20:26. > :20:30.United won't panic buy in January, but he's a lot of thinking to do

:20:30. > :20:37.before Sunday's FA Cup tie at Manchester City. The goals put them

:20:37. > :20:40.in the driving seat. To fantastic strikes by them. He'll be relieved

:20:40. > :20:43.to hear that Yaya Toure, and his brother Kolo, won't be playing

:21:15. > :21:20.was playing for Manchester United reserves, he got beaten by the same

:21:20. > :21:23.thing. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has apologised for racially

:21:23. > :21:26.abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra - though not to the player

:21:26. > :21:29.himself. Suarez says he did use a racial term - but maintains it

:21:29. > :21:33.wasn't used in a derogatory way. He has though apologised for any

:21:33. > :21:35.offence caused, and says he will never use the word again on a

:21:35. > :21:40.football pitch. Liverpool decided earlier this week not to appeal his

:21:40. > :21:42.eight-game ban. Bolton boxer Amir Khan has cast more doubts over his

:21:42. > :21:45.controversial defeat to Lamont Peterson in Washington last month.

:21:45. > :21:48.He's used his Twitter page to question the appearance of a man at

:21:48. > :21:51.ringside, who he claims appears to interfere with the fight supervisor,

:21:51. > :21:54.and one of the judge's scorecards. After being deducted two points for
