Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top story:

:00:04.:00:07.

Spotted out shopping - police release new pictures in the hunt for

:00:07.:00:17.
:00:17.:00:18.

a murder suspect. If you look at the images, you are

:00:18.:00:22.

looking at a man who looks dishevelled so I think he is living

:00:23.:00:26.

hand to mouth. Michael Cope has been on the run for almost three weeks.

:00:26.:00:30.

Also tonight: New hope for Jackie - how the North West's leading the way

:00:30.:00:32.

in the search for a lung cancer cure.

:00:32.:00:35.

Heat wave warning - as the region basks in sizzling temperatures,

:00:35.:00:40.

experts warn of the dangers of too much sun.

:00:40.:00:43.

We're two weeks into our hottest spell in years and there's no end in

:00:43.:00:47.

sight. I'm live at Lyme Park with the latest.

:00:47.:00:50.

Is it Toni time again? Can Everton's Duggan fire England into the

:00:50.:01:00.
:01:00.:01:01.

European Championship quarterfinals tonight? And it is another crew

:01:01.:01:06.

obviously hot day, so hard I am taking a dip in the lake with Mr

:01:06.:01:12.

Darcy. Join me in Cheshire to find out why Mr Darcy is back here at

:01:12.:01:20.

Lyme Park. First tonight, police have released

:01:21.:01:24.

new pictures of murder suspect Michael Cope, who's been on the run

:01:24.:01:28.

for almost three weeks. He's seen in the CCTV shopping for food, the

:01:28.:01:33.

first time he's been spotted since he disappeared. Police want to speak

:01:33.:01:36.

to the 28-year-old in connection with the killing of mother-of-two

:01:36.:01:40.

Linzi Ashton who was found dead at her home in Salford at the end of

:01:40.:01:43.

June. Peter Marshall is outside Greater Manchester Police's

:01:43.:01:53.

Headquarters now. This could be a significant moment

:01:53.:01:59.

in this murder enquiry. Since Linzi Ashton was found almost three weeks

:01:59.:02:04.

ago, there have been unconfirmed sightings of the chief suspect

:02:04.:02:09.

Michael Cope. Now it appears he has broken cover. We know where he was

:02:09.:02:16.

in July 40. The man at the centre of an incentive murder hunt goes

:02:17.:02:22.

shopping. Michael Cope captured on CCTV at a convenience store in

:02:22.:02:27.

Hindley. He picks up food to keep him going one on the run. He went

:02:27.:02:37.

straight to the cash machine, and withdrew some money and he got lots

:02:37.:02:46.

of food, �14 worth of food and then he checked his bag twice. Michael

:02:46.:02:52.

Cope, who is 28 and from Salford, is wanted in connection of the murder

:02:52.:02:56.

of his former partner Linzi Ashton. She was found dead at her home in

:02:56.:03:01.

Winton on Saturday, June 29. She died from pressure to her neck and

:03:01.:03:07.

multiple injuries. At a news conference, police were confident of

:03:07.:03:13.

finding Michael Cope. The amount of money we saw being taken out of the

:03:13.:03:18.

cash machine last week, the amount of food, is only a small amount. If

:03:18.:03:22.

you look at the images we have released, you are looking at a man

:03:22.:03:29.

who looks dishevelled and is living hand to mouth. They believe he is

:03:29.:03:33.

familiar of canal pathways and he may have spent time around waterways

:03:33.:03:40.

in Hindley. Detectives say information from the public could be

:03:40.:03:46.

vital. Look at outbuildings, sheds but I would say to the public, I

:03:46.:03:51.

consider this man dangerous so if you see him, ring the police

:03:51.:03:55.

immediately. The case has been referred to the Independent Police

:03:55.:03:59.

Complaints Commission after it was revealed Linzi Ashton reported

:03:59.:04:03.

assaults by Michael Cope before her death. The police officer saying he

:04:04.:04:09.

is believed to be dangerous, what have the police have to say to

:04:09.:04:14.

anyone in the area worried about this man being a large? The police

:04:14.:04:19.

want to warn people but do not want to panic people. The detective

:04:19.:04:24.

superintendent said, we understand developments may have on people but

:04:24.:04:32.

I assured them we have a dedicated team of detectives who want to find

:04:32.:04:39.

Michael Cope safely. He also says there is a �25,000 reward for any

:04:39.:04:44.

result that leads to conviction. Next tonight, it's the deadliest

:04:44.:04:48.

form of cancer and the least understood. But now Manchester is to

:04:48.:04:51.

play a key role in unlocking the secrets of lung cancer in the search

:04:51.:04:55.

for a cure. Experts are taking part in a world-first �14 million study

:04:55.:04:58.

launched today to find out how lung cancers become resistant to

:04:58.:05:01.

treatment and how therapy could target each patient's unique form of

:05:01.:05:11.
:05:11.:05:13.

one of the country 's biggest killers but lung cancer can take

:05:13.:05:17.

time to diagnose and by then it may have entered the bloodstream. That

:05:17.:05:23.

has happened to Jackie Mills, she is now cancer free but there is a

:05:23.:05:27.

chance of returning. It is constantly on your mind on a daily

:05:27.:05:32.

basis, is it coming back? You grab at everything, every hope that you

:05:32.:05:38.

can. All the studies that they are doing, you will commit with open

:05:38.:05:43.

arms. 2000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in greater Manchester

:05:43.:05:52.

each year. The mortality rate is higher than the England average. At

:05:52.:05:56.

the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research they hope to change that.

:05:56.:05:59.

Cutting edge technology will analysed tumour samples before and

:05:59.:06:05.

after surgery to see how the cancer changes and avoids treatment.

:06:05.:06:09.

know what the next step will be for the tumour and know what the best

:06:10.:06:13.

treatment will be at every stage of the progression because we know the

:06:13.:06:19.

tumour changes with time. This study will give an unprecedented insight

:06:19.:06:24.

into lung cancer but it is also ground-breaking because experts will

:06:24.:06:30.

be working with six other centres across the UK for the first time.

:06:30.:06:35.

The Tracker project also involves the University Hospital of South

:06:35.:06:40.

Manchester and the Christie were Dr Fiona Blackhall treats patients.

:06:40.:06:45.

Lung cancer is lots of different diseases, different types of cancer,

:06:45.:06:50.

each with its own genetic make up and we want to match the right

:06:50.:06:59.

treatment to that genetic make up. Jackie is doing everything she can

:06:59.:07:03.

to ensure her cancer will not return but if it does she hopes the study

:07:03.:07:09.

's findings could help her beat it again.

:07:09.:07:12.

Other news from around the North West now and the Royal Liverpool and

:07:12.:07:16.

Salford Royal will be among the first hospitals in the country to be

:07:16.:07:19.

assessed under major changes planned by the government. The Chief

:07:19.:07:23.

Inspector of Hospitals wants to send in a "small army" of staff to try to

:07:23.:07:26.

raise standards. It comes after the Keogh Review into improving patient

:07:26.:07:28.

care put Tameside and East Lancashire Trusts into special

:07:28.:07:38.

measures. The way the CQC is now responding is great. The public want

:07:38.:07:44.

to have confidence in the NHS and they rightly should have and these

:07:44.:07:48.

inspections are part of building the confidence and providing open

:07:48.:07:53.

information back to the public about the state of our hospitals.

:07:53.:07:56.

Meanwhile, Cumbria police say they will not be investigating the Care

:07:56.:07:59.

Quality Commission over alleged failings to act on a report on the

:07:59.:08:02.

Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust, published in 2012. The police say

:08:02.:08:05.

any failure to act had "no consequences" for the provision of

:08:05.:08:09.

health care in Cumbria. Proposals that could mean the

:08:09.:08:12.

closure of three council day care centres for elderly and disabled

:08:12.:08:15.

people in Manchester have been considered by the City Council

:08:15.:08:19.

today. A series of recommendations were given this afternoon and a

:08:19.:08:23.

final decision will be made next week. Seven centres could be cut to

:08:23.:08:29.

four to save �1.7 million. Police are appealing for witnesses

:08:29.:08:33.

after two women were attacked by a dog on the promenade in Blackpool.

:08:33.:08:36.

The attack, which happened last Monday evening, left one of the

:08:36.:08:40.

women with horrific injuries to her leg. The owner fled from the scene

:08:40.:08:44.

with the dog, which is believed to be a Staffordshire bull terrier or

:08:44.:08:52.

pit bull breed. And after five decades as the

:08:52.:08:55.

Queen's Guide to The Sands, Cedric Robinson is being honoured for his

:08:55.:08:58.

duty and commitment to Morecambe Bay. The 80-year-old has dedicated

:08:58.:09:01.

his life to running the famous cross-bay walks, which can involve

:09:01.:09:05.

up to 600 people at a time. He'll be honoured by the town council later

:09:05.:09:10.

this evening. With temperatures in some parts of

:09:10.:09:14.

the region reaching up to 28 degrees Celsius today, today is for many of

:09:14.:09:20.

us the 13th day in a row of hot weather. Unlike other parts of the

:09:20.:09:24.

country the North West is not in a heat wave yet, but we are, says the

:09:24.:09:28.

Met Office, on a level one warning. That means there's a 30% chance we

:09:28.:09:32.

could be in a heat wave at some point. We can join Dianne now at

:09:32.:09:42.
:09:42.:09:43.

Lyme Park in Cheshire. I know there have to be measures but it feels

:09:43.:09:48.

like a heatwave, doesn't it? does. I have come to Lyme Park to

:09:48.:09:53.

see if there is a breath of air anywhere in the north-west but it is

:09:53.:10:01.

just as hot here as anywhere else. We are officially in a heatwave.

:10:01.:10:06.

That aside, we are still hotter than many European cities and it is the

:10:06.:10:12.

fact that the hot spell is now prolonged, we are seeing

:10:12.:10:15.

consequences. NHS Direct say that in the first two weeks of July they saw

:10:16.:10:22.

a spike in the number of calls related to heat and sun stroke. The

:10:22.:10:27.

grass around us is so bone dry there is the risk of fires and there are

:10:27.:10:35.

warnings tonight that coastguards are telling us rip tides are

:10:35.:10:39.

developing on some beaches. But United Utilities say our reservoirs

:10:39.:10:45.

are still 79% full and there is no plan for a hosepipe ban. Judy Hobson

:10:45.:10:49.

has been around the north-west to find out how this weather is

:10:49.:10:55.

affecting you. 20 size and degrees on West Kirby Beach and people are

:10:55.:11:01.

finding all sorts of ways to keep cool. There is a bit of a breeze so

:11:01.:11:08.

it is fresh and it is lovely. Coastguards hear people -- said

:11:08.:11:17.

people need to be careful. People do not realise that they can get cut

:11:17.:11:23.

off walking back to land. United Utilities have made this film to

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

show how seeming in reservoirs can be fatal. Meanwhile, it is the

:11:33.:11:37.

elderly that health experts are worried about. It comes as NHS

:11:37.:11:42.

Direct says there has been an increase in calls about sunburn and

:11:42.:11:47.

sunstroke. Older people, especially those with heart disease or other

:11:47.:11:52.

chronic long-term decisions can be more prone to the heat so they can

:11:52.:11:57.

be quite vulnerable. I have been to the doctors and I am quite woozy

:11:57.:12:07.
:12:07.:12:09.

today. Drinkwater, dressed sensible and wear a hat. In Salford it is

:12:09.:12:15.

keeping the young core that is proving difficult. Keeping in the

:12:15.:12:20.

shade, lots of fluids. It is hard to keep her cool in this weather but

:12:21.:12:27.

this helps her stay cool. She is resting here better than she would

:12:27.:12:32.

in a pram. The water levels here look quite low but they are normal

:12:32.:12:38.

for this time of year thanks to all that rain we had last summer.

:12:38.:12:42.

monitoring the situation and we are working with United Utilities to

:12:42.:12:46.

make sure water resources are managed properly. We urge people to

:12:46.:12:54.

take heed and look at how they use water, particularly members of the

:12:54.:12:59.

public. The Isle of Man was 23 degrees today but will be hotter

:12:59.:13:05.

tomorrow. It was 28 degrees here in this part in Chorley. It will be hot

:13:05.:13:09.

for a while yet and the advice is to drink lots of water, stay in the

:13:09.:13:19.
:13:19.:13:19.

shade if you can. United Utilities say that with 1.7 million litres of

:13:19.:13:25.

water used every day to keep people call, they are advising householders

:13:25.:13:29.

to not waste water. If you are struggling with this heat and you

:13:29.:13:34.

want tips on how to stay cool and how to get quality sleep at night,

:13:34.:13:44.

the BBC website is where you need to go. I will be back with the full

:13:44.:13:52.

forecast later and I will also have a slightly familiar face.

:13:52.:13:56.

Next tonight, there's been a fall across the North West in the number

:13:56.:14:01.

of crimes being carried out. Annabel is here with more.

:14:01.:14:04.

Despite cuts to force budgets and police numbers, crime in the North

:14:04.:14:07.

West, like in the rest of the country, has gone down. In Cumbria

:14:07.:14:10.

it fell by 11%. Greater Manchester saw the same reduction, although

:14:10.:14:13.

sexual offences rose by 5% with reports of historical sexual

:14:13.:14:20.

offences increasing by a third. In Lancashire and Merseyside the

:14:20.:14:26.

reduction was 5%. While in Cheshire it dropped by 4%. Today Greater

:14:26.:14:29.

Manchester's Chief Constable said it was down to the commitment of

:14:29.:14:33.

officers and staff, as well as support from the public. Illustrated

:14:33.:14:36.

today when three more people were sentenced as part of Operation

:14:36.:14:39.

Cairo, in what the force is describing as one of its most

:14:39.:14:44.

successful drug operations. Working alongside residents the crackdown on

:14:44.:14:47.

drug dealing in Cheetham Hill has now resulted in 45 people being

:14:47.:14:57.
:14:57.:14:58.

jailed. Elaine Dunkley reports. 12 months ago, Cheetham Hill was an

:14:58.:15:04.

area police classed as having a serious drug problem. Drug dealing

:15:04.:15:09.

was taking place in broad daylight. This officer says things are now

:15:09.:15:15.

changing because of a change in tactics. Local residents were

:15:15.:15:23.

invited to watch the operation where they went out and witnessed and

:15:23.:15:28.

watched us arrest offenders. The feedback we got worse yet they could

:15:28.:15:32.

see the police taking action. is what residents were concerned

:15:32.:15:38.

about, drug dealing in broad daylight all caught on CCTV. Today

:15:38.:15:44.

these three men were sentenced to a combined total of 11 years behind

:15:44.:15:49.

bars. Under Operation Cairo, 45 drug dealers had been locked up and over

:15:49.:15:53.

60 police raids have taken place to break the gangs. Living and working

:15:53.:15:57.

in Cheetham Hill has been tough for some residents who are fed up with

:15:57.:16:05.

the drugs gangs. Might grandchildren do not go out. This woman went to

:16:05.:16:11.

see the police in action. The public are coming forward and saying where

:16:11.:16:17.

they know this is all where this person is, we want to feel safe and

:16:17.:16:23.

we the police doing what they are doing, it is feeling safer. Getting

:16:23.:16:28.

drugs off the streets and dealers behind bars is a continuing battle.

:16:28.:16:33.

Police say they are continuing to make progress.

:16:33.:16:36.

Still to come on North West Tonight: It's Toni time again.

:16:36.:16:39.

Can Everton's Duggan fire England to an historic Euro 2013 win over

:16:39.:16:48.

France tonight? Be still my beating heart! Find out

:16:48.:16:58.
:16:58.:17:00.

why Mr Darcy can be seen coming out of the lake at Lyme Park 24/7.

:17:01.:17:04.

Work officially started today on the Sixth Astute Class submarine at the

:17:04.:17:08.

Barrow shipyard. 5,000 people are employed there. But there's

:17:08.:17:10.

political debate over the future of Trident, Britain's submarine-based

:17:10.:17:14.

nuclear deterrent. Our Political Editor Arif Ansari reports from

:17:14.:17:24.
:17:24.:17:25.

Barrow. Barrow's economy floats on submarine

:17:25.:17:30.

manufacturer. Inside this hall, two of the world 's most modern Saabs

:17:30.:17:37.

are being built and today work officially started on number six. --

:17:37.:17:42.

submarines. We squeezed on-board artful which is nearing completion.

:17:42.:17:48.

This is the weapons room of artful, it carries torpedoes, cruise

:17:48.:17:51.

missiles but not nuclear missiles and that is what the political

:17:51.:17:58.

debate is about. We live in a different world to the 1970s and

:17:58.:18:02.

1980s where there clearly was a nuclear threat. We cannot really

:18:02.:18:07.

afford any longer to maintain a nuclear deterrent, which ultimately

:18:07.:18:12.

we would never use anyway. Officially the Lib Dems want to

:18:12.:18:16.

reduce the number of nuclear submarines from four to three and a

:18:16.:18:21.

final decision has been delayed until after the general election.

:18:21.:18:26.

There is a degree of uncertainty that that creates. There is

:18:26.:18:30.

uncertainty in the supply chain as well but these things are very

:18:30.:18:35.

important political decisions and need to go through these processes.

:18:35.:18:42.

But it is clear which call the Conservatives and Labour are

:18:42.:18:47.

plotting. We are investing money to get the design worked out and once

:18:47.:18:52.

that is complete, we expect to look forward to making that investment

:18:52.:18:57.

decision in 2016. Who will we be determined? Who knows what the

:18:57.:19:03.

threat will be over the next 50 years. Work is due to be completed

:19:03.:19:08.

in ten years time but with both Tory and Labour support, by then the

:19:08.:19:12.

shipyard should be busy building the next generation of nuclear arms

:19:12.:19:22.
:19:22.:19:24.

submarines. Football now and an exciting stage in the women's

:19:24.:19:31.

European Championships. England's hopes of progressing in

:19:31.:19:34.

the Women's European Championships could rest on the young shoulders of

:19:34.:19:44.
:19:44.:19:45.

an up and coming player from Liverpool. Richard Askam has been to

:19:45.:19:48.

meet the community getting behind one of our new stars. Where Toni

:19:48.:19:58.
:19:58.:20:00.

Duggan grew up in Everton, they are rather proud of her. I am proud of

:20:00.:20:10.

her. She always scores. This is Toni's local youth club where she is

:20:10.:20:15.

still active as a local youth worker alongside one of her old football

:20:15.:20:21.

managers who remembers just how talented she was at nine and ten.

:20:21.:20:31.
:20:31.:20:31.

She was a great talent, always was. England's new kid on the Block honed

:20:31.:20:36.

her skills as a child on this street. Often with her grandfather

:20:36.:20:41.

who now does the same with some of the other football mad youngsters

:20:41.:20:46.

who live nearby. He has always been his granddaughter's biggest fan and

:20:46.:20:51.

now she is an award-winning international, he can guess how

:20:51.:20:57.

proud she is. It is outstanding. What makes it even more so is I know

:20:57.:21:01.

what is behind it, I know all the work that has gone on for years

:21:01.:21:07.

behind it. All the time she has given up for training. I just want

:21:07.:21:12.

to see her standing there when the national anthem is going.

:21:12.:21:16.

England fans will be hoping that Toni can find the net again this

:21:16.:21:22.

evening. And you can see the England France

:21:22.:21:27.

game live on BBC Three with coverage starting at 7pm.

:21:27.:21:29.

Meanwhile, Sevilla's Spanish international striker Alvaro Negredo

:21:29.:21:33.

is expected to undergo a medical today at Manchester City to complete

:21:33.:21:35.

a �20 million transfer. The 27-year-old who replaces Carlos

:21:35.:21:38.

Tevez is the second player new manager Manuel Pellegrini has signed

:21:38.:21:41.

from Seville after Jesus Navas. Meanwhile, City right-back Maicon

:21:41.:21:45.

has completed a permanent move to Italian side Roma for an undisclosed

:21:45.:21:50.

fee. Cricket now. In the LV County

:21:50.:21:52.

Championship Division Two, Lancashire drew their match against

:21:52.:21:58.

Glamorgan at the Emirates Old Trafford. The visitors ended their

:21:58.:22:08.
:22:08.:22:24.

second innings on 94 for two on the people getting hot under the collar

:22:24.:22:30.

here because of him. Back to Lyme Park. Annabel thinks that his chest

:22:30.:22:36.

is not quite right. She sounds like somebody who has

:22:36.:22:44.

been looking for far too long. Take a look at this. This is Mr Darcy,
