25/04/2012 North West Tonight

She died at just 17 from anorexia - now Charlotte's father wants a

better system to help teenagers with eating disorders and their

families. A beautiful young girl. They are beautiful young girl sees

something totally different. We'll be asking an expert on anorexia

what can be done to improve the level of care. Also tonight...

are back in a double-dip recession. I ask experts what it really means.

So Eksteen sensational seconds that could have saved Bolton's season.

And retiring after 50 years as a GP - the 80-year-old doctor who says

she'll miss her patients. I am Liverpool -- in Liverpool in

England's first registered mosque. Find out more about the campaign to

Charlotte Seddon was 17 when she died. For almost four years she had

battled with anorexia, and weighed just 6 stone when she died a few

months ago. Now her family want more help for those with eating

disorders. Charlotte recorded her thoughts in a diary, and tonight in

their only television interview, her family share some of those

thoughts. They've spoken to our health correspondent Nina Warhurst.

Try to accept it because something better lies around the corner.

months after the death of Charlotte Seddon, through these precious

diaries, her family are seeing more of the humour and wisdom they

adored in her, the academically gifted and beautiful head girl

whose only struggle had been with herself. In life you go we were

given so make the most and. Love the people who tree you write,

forget the ones who don't because they are not worth your time or

effort. -- get what you are given. When you have to lead the people

you love it will be hard, try to accept it because something better

always lies just round the corner. Charlotte died peacefully at home,

her heart stopping 12 days after being released from specialist care.

She weighed just six stone. Her family say her care had at times

been disjointed and inconsistent and that a much more co-ordinated

approach of NHS treatment, and public awareness is needed. We look,

we see a beautiful young girl. Everything to live for, all her

life ahead of her. That beautiful young girl see something totally

different. Many will ask how can it be that a teenager can deteriorate

before her family's eyes? But anorexia is a serious mental

illness, often difficult to spot, and sometimes, impossible to treat.

Maybe where she is now she has got She's perhaps enjoying a better

life somewhere else. Charlotte will be missed and remembered every day

but her family are grateful for the words left behind. Finally, be

courageous, honest and strong. Live life how you want, love who would

you want, you've only got one life, full of opportunity, make the most

of it. So sad. It is very sad. Sadly that is not a unique story.

So what can be done to reduce that number of young people suffering

One of the issues Charlotte's family talked about was not

pointing the finger of blame, there is no criticism there, but the

system where maybe departments don't talk to each other and people

like Louise can fall through the cracks. Is that your experience?

know there are many first-class treatment centres in the UK, sadly

at times not enough and we do hear from parents and carers all the

time, particularly in relation to young people moving through from

children's services into adult services, that communication can be

difficult. The problem there is as a child the parent is involved in

any care that happens but once they move into adulthood, parents can be

cut out and it is dealt with face- to-face with the doctor and parents

can be sidelined. That can be a difficult issue, we hear that a lot

from be people who contact us for health -- help and support. When

young people reached early adulthood there are confidentiality

issues. We try to have clear path of communication and involve

parents and carers in treatment services because we know that

parents and carers Arie big part of the solution in helping people

recover from the eating disorders. They say they felt powerless, what

Finding out as much information as they can and certainly here we

support many parents and carers, we have dedicated helplines, support

groups across the UK and finding out as much, keep asking questions

and going back to the services. Excuse me for putting words in your

mouth but I presume you would say to anybody who is worried contact

your GP as a matter of priority? course. Fantastic. Thank you very

Scotland Yard detectives investigating Madeleine McCann's

disappearance in Portugal five years ago believe she could be

alive and have released an image of how she might look like today. The

picture shows Madeline aged nine and was created with the help of

her family. Her mother Kate and grandparents are from Liverpool.

The British police investigation began last May after the McCanns

A North West MP has urged mobile phone companies to spend more money

on advice for young people about the dangers of taking and sending

explicit pictures. It's known as "sexting" and research has shown

nearly two in five school children had received an offensive or

distressing image via text or e mail. The Labour MP for Stockport

says children are unaware how how quickly things can get out of

control. There is often no criminal behaviour beyond the creation or

sending of images, though lack of willing participation by young

people who are pictured. The problem is once taken and cent, the

sender loses control of the images and they could end up anywhere,

from being passed all around school to being viewed and passed on by

paedophiles. The candidates hoping to become the first elected Mayor

of Salford have been setting out their plans for the city. The

election will take place on May 3rd. We'll be hearing from all of the

candidates over the next few days. I won the best for my family,

therefore I what the best for Salford people and their families.

If elected, my highest priorities will be the protection of children,

the elderly and the most vulnerable. I will work to bring decent jobs

and prosperity to our city. I will cut Council Tax by 50%, freeze

council house rents for three years and protect essential services. I

will do this by recalling one of the regeneration programmes that

went up to �615 million at its re- evaluation last year. There is a

full list of all the candidates for that on the website. We know we've

been in difficult times for a while but today has come the news that

the UK has slipped back into recession. In fact we're in a

double dip recession for the first time since the 1970s. All year

NorthWest Tonight is tracking the economy through the town of Crewe

in Cheshire. Our economics correspondent Laura Yates joins us

If not tough, times have certainly been tricky at this join us. They

make all sorts here. They were hoping they had come through the

worst. We struggled over the last couple of years, we had to lay four

people off but on the up to and we feel from Christmas business has

got better. But today we are back in recession. What will that now

mean for you? I do nothing we can invest in the company on machinery

we had provisional orders for. We just have to see how things go.

We're in a recession again because the economy has been shrinking for

the last six months. There has been a drop in output, what we are

producing, meaning for the first time since the 1970s we are now in

a double-dip recession. We had a recession, their initial recovery,

now we are back there again. Because we do not have the

confidence factor it means entrepreneurs and business owners

that are making investments are not making the recruitment we would

like to see and consumers are holding back on their personal

spending. So it adds up, I'm afraid, to taking longer to get out of

recession. In an eerily quiet town centre in Crewe, there are many

signs shops are struggling, too. Everybody here once a bargain and

even the pound shop has shut down, a strong sign we are back in

recession. When people say recession they tend to panic and

think just saved everything. Keep your pennies where they are.

will cut back. You do look at the prices and around for bargains.

Back at the joiners they hope their customers will continue to send --

spend, turning every inquiry into an order, they say, the way to

survive this storm. Do you know where the country's

first mosque was set up? Manchester? Lancashire? Try

Liverpool. That's where England's first registered mosque was

established in 1889 by William Abdullah Quilliam, the first

Christian to convert to Islam in Victorian times. The building still

stands in Liverpool but has fallen into disrepair. The Abdullah

Quilliam Society now wants to develop it as a heritage centre but

says it's running out of money. Prayers at Liverpool mosque, this

is one of three in the city today. But this was the birthplace of the

Islamic movement in the City and some would say in the UK as a whole.

This was the prayer room of England's first registered mosque.

It was founded more than 120 years ago by Liverpool lawyer Abdullah

Quilliam. He converted to Islam in 1887. Two years later Brougham

Terrace opened its doors as the first registered mosque in England,

but it fast became a community hub. It was a successful community based

support service. There was a boys' school, a girls' school, you name

it, he had everything here. And the influence of Quilliam's mosque

reached all areas of society. did not normally get peers of the

realm, great landowners mixing with labourers socially. But in this

mosque you would have done because there were converts who were that

high in British society. Abdullah Quilliam fled the city in

1908 in mysterious circumstances. The building has now fallen into

disrepair. It was handed over to the Abdullah Quilliam Society,12

years ago and though they have already spent �300,000 making it

secure, the money has run out. are looking at the reopening a

small section of the building which will cost about �100,000. We have

collected about a quarter of that money, we got another quarter in

pledges and we are looking at fund raising to raise a bit more.

society is now appealing to the public to help them get the mosque

open again but there is a determination in the city the

mosque must be reopened. Once a mosque is established, it is a

mosque for ever. You know? It That is the fascinating bit of

local history. It is indeed, we wish them well.

They could perhaps do with a benefactor.

Donny Collister is the gentleman's name, you live as a painter and

decorator on the Isle of Man, but what his friends and neighbours did

not know is that he was a millionaire.

The 93-year-old left his entire estate to the island's Heritage

Association. They know what suggestions from residents as to

how the money should be used. Nobody knew much about Donny

Collister, until now. He was a quiet man who lived in this small

village for all of his life. He was an old Max man, very proud of his

heritage and loved being in this village. This is not a man who was

cash-rich when he was alive, he was a painter and decorator and ran a

small business. He was careful with his money.

The money he did have was being kept, for the heritage of the

island. He left behind his house, cash and war memorabilia, all worth

over �1 billion. He really was a local man in every sense of the

word, but he was also a very proud man's man. -- won the million

pounds. He was an ordinary man doing an ordinary job.

He wanted to give something back to the island and now it is down to

the public to decide how that is done and where his money is spent.

The history books are about kings and queens and politicians and

generals, the ordinary man tends not to appear in history books. We

have an opportunity now to change that. A meeting has been set up

already for next month, here in his former village hall when people can

come and discuss where they think his money should go.

The people who know him best have their own ideas. His main interest

was the time he spent serving his country in the regiment, and I

think that in some way that should be honoured.

I get lots of people have lots of ideas about how to spend the money.

On to the sport now, a lot of attention of course on to the

battle at the top of the Derby, but of course there is a huge battle

going on at the bottom of the leak to. All of her teens or it.

For the neutrals watching the Premier League and the three teams

involved in the bottom, it is just as important. If Bolton are

Blackburn and Wigan are involved, and all have had big wins recently.

Bolton brought us a twist last night at Aston Villa and had a

deadline. A great result for them, and it may worry Wigan and

Blackburn. Where does it leave the battle to stay up?

Looking at the table, there are three points that Bolton got last

night took them to one point from safety. None of our teams are safe.

Blackburn must play Wigan in a crucial game. Wanderers fans or we

had eyes for their final four opponents.

-- Wanderers fans are only had eyes. Bolton fans have witnessed one

miracle this season that transcends any game, but now it is back to

business. It looks like bone coil is fashioning another.

They went into last night's scraps six points shy from Aston Villa.

After three minutes of madness they came out on top of the world. The

hosts went ahead at 61 minutes, but a penalty one minute later levelled

the score before another goal one minutes later won it for the

Wanderers. We've really recovered from where one goal behind, and the

character and police my lads are shown was there to see. It will be

crucial at this time of the season. The question is, can this man

complete the mission with just four games to go?

First-up, Sunderland a way. Sunderland away, take a point.

would like Dublin, but I think one would be all right. Spurs at home.

We can win that, Spurs are in a dreadful state. West Brom were

busied next. We will take them. will go forth the their. Surely

they will win that one. Before the last match trip to Stoke. One point.

One again there. As they have done as I had said so far, they could

lose it still. Blackburn and Wigan will still have

something to say about who goes down eventually, but if Bolton

escape then their boss might expect the freedom of the town.

A few twists to come there I think. Northwich Victoria have had their

fair share of bad news recently, but they have been cut a bit of

slack today after 18 at Wembley. They had been told that they were

being kicked out of the Northern Premier League complete before

breaking financial rules, but they are now only been relegated just

one division. Liverpool's Beth Tweddle has been

ruled out of the European gymnastics championship after and

the operation. It has been described as minor keyhole surgery

and should not affect her Olympic prospects. The three-time world

champion was due to compete in Brussels, and bet has said that it

is much better for this process to happen now rather than later in the

year. And you very much. When you go to

the doctor, it is always good to see a familiar face, to see the

same person over and over again. It gives you confidence and comfort.

For several generations of one cheeky, the same welcoming face has

been there as long as most of them can remember. But no more, after 50

years, half a century as a GP, Dr Elspeth Russell has -- is just

about to retire. This is not the first time she

decided to hang up her stethoscope, she did it two decades ago. Now she

is stopping again, probably for good, at age of 80. She was here

earlier and we asked her why. In fact, I retired from the

partnership 20 years ago, had my husband, who was a radiologist,

take early retirement from the Health Service. The reason I

retires then was just to get the holidays. We wanted to travel the

world and go on some long-haul holidays. We could not do that when

we were working. They needed to, so you went back. They needed me, so I

went back as a regular or Kong, and did the same work part time. 20

years later I have retired again. But you have another big party?

Nelson Mandela famously said, I am retiring from retirement. We wish

you a long and healthy retirement, of course. Tell us, a little bit

over the 50 years you have been practising, how things have changed.

From the things you have seen and also the way that being a doctor

has changed. The biggest change in the last ten to 15 years has been

the computer. In the old days, they went into brown on logs which

recalled the Lloyd George on logs. Often they were not recorded. --

Lloyd George envelopes. People would say years ago, I had a treat

and but I cannot remember who it was or who the surgeon was. He

would shift through the notes. patience change? Is their attitude

less reverential my? To I do not know about the reverential, they

have always been very polite to me. But they have changed, they are

much more health conscious now. Much more knowledgeable. In the old

days, I am talking about 30 or 40 years ago, people would say that

breast cancer, the first time they presented as a doctor they had a

huge inoperable tumour, all sitting through the skin. They probably

knew it was cancer, but in those days they thought cancer was at

death sentence and they often did not go to the doctor. What will you

miss the most? I will miss the staff at the surgery, I have to say

that in case they are watching! And my colleagues, the doctors. But I

think I will miss the patients a lot. Where I have been since 1975,

I have seen three generations of families, I have seen Danny and the

children and their children's children coming in. It is so nice

to be a proper family doctor. I think that patients like seeing the

same doctor year after year. That is very true. Decade after decade

in my case! They will miss you, too. That is very kind of you.

I bet she never roughed anyone in her day, I bet she listened and

care, what a lovely woman she was. Just before we go to the weather, a

special programme on Liverpool's Sea Odyssey that was a schedule to

be broadcast tonight will now be shown on BBC One on Monday. It has

been moved to make way for the Panorama special on Madeleine

McCann that she may have heard of tonight. But will be a great

programme, but not tonight at 7:30pm. It will be on Monday at

8:30pm. Still looking summary, but just to

fill us. Good evening, the hat a few bits of sunshine and showers

and then it all changed today. It has been wet today at quite windy,

as well. 52 mph and falsely. 40 mph and other places. All because of an

area of deep low pressure which made its way in today. What of

isobars. For tomorrow, lots of low pressure around. Still bringing

some heavy showers. As he headed to Saturday, high pressure starts to

build, it is probably not going to last. This is what is coming on

Sunday, some more a wet and windy conditions. Tonight, still some

heavy showers actively hanging around. A keen easterly breeze it,

and some cloud around. It should be frost-free. Temperatures overnight

not looking too bad at all. For tomorrow, I am afraid I have a

weather warning for the Met Office, a yellow warning for rain. We will

see heavy showers, probably emerging to bring longer spells of

rain. They will linger tomorrow when they do turn up and the winds

are so much later. The showers, heavy showers, perhaps some hail

and thunder. Some bright spells in there. Later winds, a wet day.

Localised flooding may also be found. Highs of the team degrees,

and the showers may continue tomorrow night. Let's look at

Friday, hopefully fewer showers on Friday, and then a lot of cloud on

Saturday and then wet and windy for Sunday.

But tonight. We are likely to get drenched.

weather is so bad I had a new weather is so bad I had a new

record, as I went out here I was carrying my Cid bade with my

clothes and my shoes cleared of my back and write down past the other
