Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and | :00:11. | :00:15. | |

For the last couple of years our financial pressure as the government | :00:58. | :01:17. | |
has tried to balance the books. Thousands of officers and staff | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
has tried to balance the books. Tonight it has become clear the | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
has tried to balance the books. losses are far from over. Greater | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Manchester Police revealed a further 700 police officer posts could go | :01:31. | :01:32. | |

Merseyside. Our political editor, Police forces are already working | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
through a four year programme of cuts to 2015. In the case of Greater | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Manchester Police, the Budget in Cuts were imposed of £135 million by | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
2015. That meant the number of officers reducing from 8,000 to | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
7,200. New figures show the cuts will continue. For the following two | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
years, 2015 to 2017, a further will continue. For the following two | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
million will be cut from the budget. That means another 700 officers | :02:07. | :02:19. | |
I think it is too deep to deal with, after all, we are paying for the | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
police. I think it is unacceptable to cut the police beyond limit where | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
they are unable to perform their duties. If there are to respond | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
they are unable to perform their the public's concerned and make | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
they are unable to perform their our communities are safe. We believe | :02:34. | :02:34. | |
Meanwhile Merseyside Police say our communities are safe. We believe | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
also anticipate extra savings of about £50 million over that period. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
They say they have already lost around 600 officers. Last week | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Lancashire Constabulary announced cuts of £73 million over the next | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
four years, meaning 165 officers In a statement the Home Office says, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
getting the economy back on track has meant a challenging funding | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
settlement for the police, but forces like Manchester have shown an | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
This is what they are talking about. In the year to March 2013, overall | :03:00. | :03:12. | |
crime across Greater Manchester dropped by 11% compared to the year | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
Just before we came on air, I spoke to Ian Hanson from the Greater | :03:17. | :03:30. | |
Manchester Police Federation. I asked him what effect he thought the | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
Let's be realistic about this. If you take of the nominal mode of | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
money out of the police budget, you take of the nominal mode of | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
is going to mean less bleak —— police officers on the streets of | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
greater Manchester. There is no other way we can manage this sort of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
enormous attack on our budgets. other way we can manage this sort of | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
recent years we have looked at the back office, we have looked at every | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
ultimately now it will be down to Those cuts as you mentioned have | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
already been made, and Kramer is still falling, so you have clearly | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
managed all right. —— crime is still falling. We are like an elastic | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
band, we have stretched it so far but it is ready to snap. People | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
band, we have stretched it so far Greater Manchester Police have been | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
working extremely hard in recent times just to keep the wheels on. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
The chief constable was quoted a couple of weeks ago saying that | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
The chief constable was quoted a 40% of reported crimes are pursued. | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
thinking, if there are fewer police officers on the street, that number | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
which too many seems shockingly officers on the street, that number | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
It will fall even lower than that. It will be about choices. People may | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
be surprised that only 40% of cranes are pursued but we don't have the | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
resources to do anything other than that. We have to make choices. It | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
sticks in the throat but we have to make a decision, ultimately, to | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
sticks in the throat but we have to to some people I am sorry we cannot | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
do that any more. What effect do you rank—and—file police officers? | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
Rank and file police officers are tired. Since the first round of | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Rank and file police officers are when we lost 400 police officers, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
they are exhausted. Police officers people, they want to serve the | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
communities of greater Manchester and they have worked phenomenally | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
hard in recent years to keep the wheels on. The effect of this is | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
that the —— the effect of this is going to be that... I don't know, | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
they will still do their best but what it will look like I don't know. | :05:35. | :05:51. | |
A bus driver has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
20 people, including schoolchildren, were injured in crash in Cumbria. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
The bus collided with a lorry near Grayrigg en route to Kendal. The | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
road was closed for several hours. None of the injuries are serious. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
The damage to the lorry driver None of the injuries are serious. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
cab paints a frightening picture. This morning the lorry and a bus | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
carrying mainly schoolchildren collided. The lorry was heading | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
heading south to Kendall. Luckily, none of the 24 secondary age pupils | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
on board were seriously hurt. It could have been a lot worse. When | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
you have vehicles with multiple passengers there is that the dental | :06:24. | :06:28. | |

dangerous driving, but they stressed this is at an early stage of their | :07:03. | :07:09. | |

Furness General Hospital in Cumbria has criticised maternity staff there | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
following the death of a new born child. Elleanor Bennett's is one of | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
a number of baby and mother deaths at the hospital investigated by | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Cumbria Police. An inquest has opened in Barrow today. Stuart | :09:27. | :09:30. | |

Flinders has been there and joins us and yet Elleanor Bennett died many | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
years before that, didn't she? and at the time her parents say | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
years before that, didn't she? were told by a consultant at Furness | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
General her death was in his words just one of those things. Years | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
later, when the police investigation into the deaths of mothers and | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
babies at Furness General began into the deaths of mothers and | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
began to wonder whether there was more to it and they came to today's | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
interest —— inquest looking for answers. Leslie and Gary Bennett | :10:06. | :10:08. | |

at an inquest today they heard of a 43 minute gap before she was born | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
that maternity staff failed to monitor the unborn child's heart. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
Midwives told the court that because Elleanor's mother was overweight it | :10:25. | :10:32. | |

people the coroner would have liked to have heard from, more senior | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
disappeared. Some of them may now be working abroad. As he put it, they | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
had gone off the radar and could not be traced. The inquest is bedded to | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
—— the inquest is expected to finish More than £67 billion of public | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
money has been set aside to clean up the Sellafield nuclear site in | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Cumbria. But the company which won the contract has been criticised | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
One project alone has gone £600 million over budget. In the next few | :11:57. | :12:08. | |
weeks, the Government has to decide whether or not to continue with | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
weeks, the Government has to decide our nuclear waste is stored. It | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
weeks, the Government has to decide to be handled with the care it | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
deserves. These ponds are exposed to nuclear waste. It was not considered | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
at the time, that gives us massive challenges on how to do it safely in | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
the environment we have in an ageing Some of the waste is so sensitive it | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
can only be handled by robots. It will take over 100 years to | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
decommission the whole site, but it is what is happening now that will | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
consortium will continue the work. An influential group of MPs blamed | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
poor management for unacceptable delays, cost increases and described | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
the performance as dire. Should delays, cost increases and described | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
consortium continue? We are on track standards, we are making savings, we | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
have achieved the best safety record Sellafield has seen since records | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
It is my belief we are on track Sellafield has seen since records | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
we have earned the right for the decommissioning authority that will | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
make the final decision has come under fire for not keeping a close | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
enough I on the work at Sellafield. We have identified issues that have | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
been unsatisfactory and we have taken a strong and firm approach. We | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
mean to do that as we go forward. An clean—up contract is expected in the | :13:32. | :13:41. | |

Preston's iconic bus station has been saved from demolition and given | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Grade II listed status. Campaigners say it is brilliant news, but the | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
council isn't so happy. Councillors say the cost of modernising it could | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
be as much as £23 million, and they think it should be pulled down. | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
It opened in 1969, but by December bleak. Preston City Council voted in | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
principle to demolish it and build a moderate, smaller replacement. The | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
campaigners fought that plan and today the government has decided to | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
status gives us the chance to use it as a platform, and what we are | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
looking for is joined up thinking Lancashire county council, they | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
looking for is joined up thinking £8.3 million in the kitty and we | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
would like them to put towards refurbishment and make the bust | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
English Heritage says it is pleased building grade two listed status | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
does not mean it could never be demolished but it would make the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
process lengthy and more expensive and come in all probability, it | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
would end up at a public inquiry. Preston City Council insist the | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
would end up at a public inquiry. station is too big, too costly to | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
maintain and provide poor facilities We will be reviewing all options and | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
we are really nothing out at this Is it fair to say that demolition is | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
We are ruling nothing out at this stage. One local businessman who | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
offered to buy the structure said hope the council do not appeal | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
against this decision and we get on now working together as a community | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
to make the bus station the centre of the city, as it should have | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Love it or loathe it, Preston's iconic bus station might be around | :15:48. | :15:54. | |

year contract for an undisclosed fee, but which is bigger than the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
record of £475,000 that Wigan paid for Stuart Fielden. As part of the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |

am sure it was, to leave the DW Stadium. It will be tough to leave | :16:30. | :16:38. | |
Warriors. But timewise I think it I am 24, so I have a lot of rugby | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
left in me and probably my best years to come, hopefully come and I | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
want them to do in the strong list position, which is the —— in New | :16:49. | :16:58. | |

better term —— better team and Although his overall record against | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
the Blues was excellent, Sir Alex Ferguson has been on the end of | :18:31. | :18:34. | |

the Blues was excellent, Sir Alex two seasons ago and early in his | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
tenure in 1989 a famous 5—1 defeat Alex Ferguson had them in for one | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
hour and he used that game as a catalyst. That is David Moyes's | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
strategy, I would imagine, to think to himself, right, we have been | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
slaughtered by our closest and biggest rivals. Talk about what | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
slaughtered by our closest and wrong and use it as a catalyst. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |

challenge and that his side have what it takes to turn things around. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
