:00:00. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Peter Marshall...
:00:09. > :00:13.And Annabel Tiffin. Our top story: Stuart Hall's been charged with 15
:00:14. > :00:17.offences of rape and one of indecent assault.
:00:18. > :00:24.He's currently serving 30 months in jail for child sex offences.
:00:25. > :00:27.The family of a Manchester soldier killed in a friendly fire incident
:00:28. > :00:35.40 years ago demand an apology from the MoD.
:00:36. > :00:39.To tougher and more wide`ranging ` the new inspection `` inspection to
:00:40. > :00:46.ensure good quality care at our hospitals.
:00:47. > :00:50.The only interviewed with Gareth Hock as he is dismissed from the
:00:51. > :00:57.World Cup squad. And the effort to get into the
:00:58. > :01:01.World Cup `` world record books I wondered whether the bottom would
:01:02. > :01:10.fall out but she is pretty good pretty steady.
:01:11. > :01:14.In the past hour, the Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed
:01:15. > :01:17.that the jailed broadcaster Stuart Hall has been charged with 15
:01:18. > :01:27.offences of rape and one of indecent assault.
:01:28. > :01:32.He was re`arrested area and taken to a police station from prison
:01:33. > :01:37.where he is already in jail for child`sex offences.
:01:38. > :01:41.Tell us the latest developments The Chief Crown prosecutor for the
:01:42. > :01:46.CPS in the north`west has said that there is sufficient evidence and it
:01:47. > :01:53.is in the public interest to prosecute Stewart pall over 16 the
:01:54. > :01:58.new alleged sexual offences `` Stuart Hall. He says it is in the
:01:59. > :02:06.public interest to make these prosecutions. He says the alleged
:02:07. > :02:13.offences between one goal between 1976 to 1988 and another girl also.
:02:14. > :02:20.He is due to appear at Preston Magistrates' Court soon. He is
:02:21. > :02:24.already serving a sentence for sexual offences between 1967 and
:02:25. > :02:28.1985. Yesterday, we had that he had been
:02:29. > :02:34.stripped of his OBE. Yes, he was awarded it in 20th
:02:35. > :02:41.December 11 and that has been taken off in now. It was for services to
:02:42. > :02:49.broadcasting and charities. He was a familiar face. Bash
:02:50. > :02:54.Hall has now been stripped of his OBE awarded in December 2011. He
:02:55. > :02:57.was given that for services to broadcasting and charity, having
:02:58. > :03:01.been a familiar face on BBC TV for many years presenting regional news
:03:02. > :03:04.and the It's a Knock Out Programme. He was best known recently for his
:03:05. > :03:06.football match reports on BBC Radio Five Live.
:03:07. > :03:10.For four decades Gunner Robert Cutting's family have searched for
:03:11. > :03:13.answers to their questions about how he died in Northern Ireland
:03:14. > :03:16.The teenager was shot by someone from his own side during a so`
:03:17. > :03:19.called friendly fire incident at the height of the troubles.
:03:20. > :03:23.An official review of the case has now provided some answers. But the
:03:24. > :03:25.family say, they want an apology for the mistakes which took his
:03:26. > :03:27.life. They've been speaking exclusively to our Chief Reporter,
:03:28. > :03:31.Dave Guest. He was proud to serve Queen and
:03:32. > :03:36.country or and was aged just 18 when he died on a street in Belfast.
:03:37. > :03:41.But he was shot dead by his own side. He served with the Royal
:03:42. > :03:46.Artillery. Early one morning his patrol came under fire from a group
:03:47. > :03:51.of Royal Marines. His family spent four decades seeking the truth, as
:03:52. > :03:58.his sister told north`west tonight in 2012. I want to find out what
:03:59. > :04:04.happened to the person that killed my brother as well. His family now
:04:05. > :04:08.has some answers thanks to the Historical Enquiries Team, the
:04:09. > :04:13.organisation set up to re`examined deaths due to the Troubles. The
:04:14. > :04:17.family allowed me to see the report and, crucially, it reveals that the
:04:18. > :04:22.army never convened a board of inquiry to investigate the
:04:23. > :04:26.circumstances of Robert's death and it should have done.
:04:27. > :04:29.The report made difficult reading for Robert's sister who waited 0
:04:30. > :04:36.years for an official confirmation of how he died and wife. It is now
:04:37. > :04:39.in black and white that he was shot once but the fatal shot that killed
:04:40. > :04:44.him was while he was trying to crawl away. I'm disgusted. What do
:04:45. > :04:49.you think about the way you have been treated? We have been treated
:04:50. > :04:53.appallingly. They buried my pressure and they shut the door on
:04:54. > :04:59.us. My brother was killed and there was no board of inquiry. The I read
:05:00. > :05:03.refit `` army refused. The fact the army never convened a board of
:05:04. > :05:09.inquiry does not surprise one academic to study that period of
:05:10. > :05:16.Ulster history in detail. In 19 2, there were several shootings and
:05:17. > :05:20.bombings and it simply wasn't possible to investigate many of the
:05:21. > :05:24.killings. But this was the army killing one of its own. It is a
:05:25. > :05:33.huge embarrassment for the British Army. Took actually admit that
:05:34. > :05:37.there was a killing of one of its own by its own is very difficult
:05:38. > :05:42.for the army to handle. So the family have some answers but they
:05:43. > :05:47.say they do not have an official apology. We have been in receipt of
:05:48. > :05:53.this report for some 10 weeks and we have constantly sent letters
:05:54. > :06:00.asking for a response. We have had no response. It is time to treat
:06:01. > :06:04.this family as the bereaved family suffering because of the untruths
:06:05. > :06:09.it was told at the beginning and the way it has been treated over
:06:10. > :06:20.the last 41 years. This afternoon, the Ministry of Defence told us
:06:21. > :06:24.The shocking failings at Morecambe Bay's maternity unit were a
:06:25. > :06:28.chilling example of what can happen when inspectors don't do their job
:06:29. > :06:30.properly. Today, the Care Quality Commission, the official NHS
:06:31. > :06:35.watchdog, launched a radical overhaul of how it monitors
:06:36. > :06:38.hospital standards. Today, the new Chief Inspector told
:06:39. > :06:42.us they know they've got it wrong in the past, and promised the new
:06:43. > :06:45.system will be much more accurate. Our health correspondent, Nina
:06:46. > :06:54.Warhurst, has been given exclusive access to the inspection at Salford
:06:55. > :06:59.Royal. So, how did it go? It has been a fascinating day
:07:00. > :07:05.following the inspectors as they sort of test their own new system
:07:06. > :07:09.of inspectors. They chose 18 trusts and they chose Salford because it
:07:10. > :07:12.is where standards of care are high and they were going to trust where
:07:13. > :07:17.standards of care have been perceived as being low were. Today,
:07:18. > :07:22.the Chief Inspector of hospitals told me that he knows in the past
:07:23. > :07:28.DEC QC have got it wrong and he knows that is not acceptable and
:07:29. > :07:34.the system has to change. They arrived at 8pm with clipboards
:07:35. > :07:38.in hand as you might expect. But this is a new era of hospital
:07:39. > :07:43.inspections which is promising to make the NHS watchdog more thorough
:07:44. > :07:48.and fair. At the heart of the changes are people like Gaynor who
:07:49. > :07:52.might not be medically trained but his brother spent his life in and
:07:53. > :07:55.out of care. She listens in a different way when she talks to
:07:56. > :08:00.patients. What do you think you have that
:08:01. > :08:06.others may not have? I have lived it. It has been a hard battle at
:08:07. > :08:11.times. I would like to say that I have seen fantastic improvements in
:08:12. > :08:17.health care. But I still think there is a long way to go. If I can
:08:18. > :08:24.represent anybody else than I would do it. The team of inspectors has
:08:25. > :08:29.gone from five to 30. Chief executives like David are still
:08:30. > :08:34.being put through their paces and experienced physicians will still
:08:35. > :08:39.test physical `` care and play meanness. But there or will also be
:08:40. > :08:43.anonymous feedback from staff. What happens today will help make up a
:08:44. > :08:46.bigger picture of how the new inspection system is working
:08:47. > :08:53.because things had to change. The CQC told us that standards of care
:08:54. > :08:57.at one maternity unit were good enough whilst patients were being
:08:58. > :09:01.failed and mistakes like that are not acceptable. This was a tough
:09:02. > :09:06.task of redesigning the entire system. People in the past have
:09:07. > :09:12.said they are worried that nobody is watching the watchdog. Have we
:09:13. > :09:16.seen the end of that now? We acknowledge there have been
:09:17. > :09:20.problems in the past. I can tell you we have different processes now
:09:21. > :09:24.and different management and we are doing things differently, as I hope
:09:25. > :09:28.you can see. The inspectors are doing it differently and a
:09:29. > :09:32.passionate about getting it right, which matters to every family in
:09:33. > :09:40.the country. So, this new wave of inspectors
:09:41. > :09:44.have been called an army, in reference to Sir Mike Richards.
:09:45. > :09:47.Every NHS Trust in the country will be tested under the system by the
:09:48. > :09:56.end of 2015. A Salford man's been jailed for 13
:09:57. > :09:59.years for repeatedly raping a young girl he trafficked into Britain to
:10:00. > :10:03.work as his domestic servant. Ilyas Ashar brought the girl from
:10:04. > :10:06.Pakistan and kept her in the cellar of his home in Eccles for nearly a
:10:07. > :10:14.decade. His wife Tallat was sentenced to five years in jail
:10:15. > :10:20.The victim is making great progress and she has shown immense courage
:10:21. > :10:25.and resilience. She is now free from the abuse she suffered a at
:10:26. > :10:28.their hands and they are now facing up to consequences of their actions
:10:29. > :10:32.as they begin substantial prison sentences.
:10:33. > :10:37.Merseyside Police have named a 0` year`old boy who was killed by a
:10:38. > :10:40.bus in Garston in Liverpool as James Greenop. Police investigating
:10:41. > :10:42.the incident on Speke Road yesterday lunchtime are appealing
:10:43. > :10:46.for witnesses to come forward. Police say the death of a woman who
:10:47. > :10:49.fell 80 feet from the third floor of Liverpool's Primark store isn't
:10:50. > :10:52.suspicious. The 57`year`old woman was found at the bottom of
:10:53. > :10:55.escalators on the ground floor in the Church Street store. It's the
:10:56. > :10:57.same shop where a three`year`old girl fell from an escalator five
:10:58. > :11:04.years ago. A woman from Lancashire who almost
:11:05. > :11:08.drowned during a school swimming lesson 13 years ago has won a
:11:09. > :11:11.landmark ruling from the Supreme Court, the UK's highest court.
:11:12. > :11:16.Annie Woodland suffered severe brain damage.
:11:17. > :11:19.Today's ruling not only paves the way for her to pursue compensation
:11:20. > :11:22.from the local education authority in Essex where it happened, but
:11:23. > :11:24.also has implications for ALL schools and care homes. Naomi
:11:25. > :11:36.Cornwell met the family in Bispham. Would you like a cup of tea?
:11:37. > :11:40.Annie Woodland is unable to look after herself, and at 23 years old,
:11:41. > :11:48.still relies on her family for help. Today, she didn't want to appear on
:11:49. > :11:54.camera. Her parents told us the Supreme Court's ruling was still
:11:55. > :11:59.sinking in. We are still numb but over the moon. It is the first
:12:00. > :12:03.piece of good news to do with her case for years.
:12:04. > :12:06.Annie nearly drowned during a school swimming lesson 13 years ago
:12:07. > :12:10.when the family lived in Basildon in Essex. She had to be pulled from
:12:11. > :12:15.the water and resuscitated, and suffered severe brain damage. It
:12:16. > :12:22.has resulted in short`term memory loss, fatigue, an age of nine. If
:12:23. > :12:25.she wants to go out it will take the three or four hours to get
:12:26. > :12:28.ready. A court has yet to decide whether
:12:29. > :12:31.any individuals were to blame for what happened to Annie. But neither
:12:32. > :12:34.the swimming teachers nor the lifeguards at the pool were
:12:35. > :12:37.employed by the education authority and in previous court hearings the
:12:38. > :12:40.school had successfully argued that it could not be held liable if
:12:41. > :13:03.there was negligence by independent contractors.
:13:04. > :13:10.It is a major landmark victory for our family and lots of other
:13:11. > :13:16.families in the country. It means the schools are more accountable.
:13:17. > :13:18.Today's ruling overturns those earlier decisions in the High Court
:13:19. > :13:30.and the Court of Appeal. Cheshire police are investigating
:13:31. > :13:35.whether a man was targeted in an attack because he is gay. He
:13:36. > :13:38.remains in hospital. Detectives are looking at the possibility he may
:13:39. > :13:44.have been the victim of a hate crime. We know it is an area
:13:45. > :13:49.frequented by the gay community At this stage, it is only part of our
:13:50. > :13:57.inquiry. It is too early to say whether it was the motive or not.
:13:58. > :14:01.We are keeping an open mind. Blackpool's famous illuminations
:14:02. > :14:07.will appear at a permanent attraction in the resort. The
:14:08. > :14:10.resort will open in April and it is thought to be the first of its kind
:14:11. > :14:15.in Europe. Still to come: This ancient
:14:16. > :14:21.Egyptian relic is 4,000 years old and it has been in this museum for
:14:22. > :14:25.100 years. Why has it only just gone on show?
:14:26. > :14:30.And smashing pumpkins ` the artist to has had a helping hand from a
:14:31. > :14:37.Lancashire fruit grower. He was so determined this was going to happen
:14:38. > :14:58.despite everyone telling him it was a bonkers idea.
:14:59. > :15:02.One in 12 youngsters in the North West has the widely misunderstood
:15:03. > :15:05.Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, otherwise known as ADHD.
:15:06. > :15:07.One school in Greater Manchester's been working hard to better
:15:08. > :15:11.understand the children's challenges to help them cope and to
:15:12. > :15:13.stop them being branded naughty children. Beccy Meehan reports.
:15:14. > :15:22.These youngsters have something to say. And they are not alone.
:15:23. > :15:26.Despite one in 12 children having ADHD, there are a lot of
:15:27. > :15:30.misconceptions about the idea. One college team do with a local
:15:31. > :15:38.charity to halt an awareness Day. Sometimes we get angry. Halfway
:15:39. > :15:47.through a lesson I can get really angry. When I get angry I blackout.
:15:48. > :15:52.20 years ago, Anthony Reynolds was one of the first children to be
:15:53. > :15:56.recognised as an ADHD sufferers and now he runs a charity supporting
:15:57. > :16:00.and mentoring sufferers across Manchester. These are not problem
:16:01. > :16:06.children but they are children with problems. The whole idea of a
:16:07. > :16:14.mental is to create a bespoke service designed around `` the men
:16:15. > :16:24.talk service. I am hoping that other people will
:16:25. > :16:29.pick up and run with this. Anthony has managed it and has done
:16:30. > :16:37.very well. Anthony plans to carry on raising awareness of the
:16:38. > :16:46.condition. Richard is here with the sport.
:16:47. > :16:53.Yes, Gareth Hock who was dismissed by the World Cup squad because of a
:16:54. > :17:02.breach of disciplined and the England team are not making any
:17:03. > :17:06.further statement. He told me today that he admits s drinking alcohol
:17:07. > :17:11.against team orders after their defeat against Italy on Saturday
:17:12. > :17:15.but says he was not alone. He also missed a swimming session the
:17:16. > :17:21.following morning. I began by asking him whether he regretted his
:17:22. > :17:26.behaviour. I agree that it was wrong and we shouldn't have had a
:17:27. > :17:33.drink. But there were six or seven of us and we all did the same thing.
:17:34. > :17:42.I don't agree how he has gone about it. How unfairly do you believe you
:17:43. > :17:48.have been treated? A lot because I am gutted. I was really looking
:17:49. > :17:55.forward to playing in the World Cup. Just for missing a 10 minute swim...
:17:56. > :17:59.I think it is out of order. The there will be people watching Who
:18:00. > :18:03.Know your disciplinary past. You were banned after testing positive
:18:04. > :18:07.for cocaine and so on and they will say that because of that you have
:18:08. > :18:13.crossed the line again and the management have no choice. That is
:18:14. > :18:18.what I mean. People think the worst of what has happened. Do you accept
:18:19. > :18:22.that, to some degree, because of the past people will say he has
:18:23. > :18:29.done it again and how could he do it again? I did the same as the
:18:30. > :18:38.other lads. Did you receive any warnings or whether any
:18:39. > :18:44.conversations before hand? Know I got a phone call to say that he
:18:45. > :18:50.found out we had been out. What did he say when he spoke to you? He
:18:51. > :18:54.said at I will be taking you out of the squad. He said it was for
:18:55. > :18:59.sleeping in but I don't know how you can take someone out of the
:19:00. > :19:05.squad for sleeping in for half an hour. Not face to face either.
:19:06. > :19:11.Would you have wanted to meet their head coach face to face and have a
:19:12. > :19:17.conversation? Yes, and explain myself face to face like the other
:19:18. > :19:22.boys as well. What about beyond this? The rest of your career and
:19:23. > :19:29.so on? How were you feeling about that? I will just have to focus on
:19:30. > :19:32.something. I look forward to playing with them next year.
:19:33. > :19:39.I imagine there will be plenty of reaction to that.
:19:40. > :19:45.Onto Football and the Champions League is back. Manchester City are
:19:46. > :19:50.in action as I speak in their Group D match at CSKA Moscow.
:19:51. > :19:53.Manchester United are also in Champions League action somewhat
:19:54. > :19:55.closer to home as they host Real Sociedad. Despite recent poor
:19:56. > :19:59.Premier League results, David Moyes' side are top of their group
:20:00. > :20:02.going into tonight's game. Belgian youngster Adnan Januzaj could make
:20:03. > :20:06.his Champions League debut for the Reds against a side who've lost
:20:07. > :20:09.their opening two matches. There's full match commentary from
:20:10. > :20:12.Old Trafford on BBC Radio Manchester. The build up starts
:20:13. > :20:17.from seven o'clock. Well, last night saw Rochdale go
:20:18. > :20:19.top of League Two after a five goal thriller at Spotland. Michael
:20:20. > :20:23.Rose's 88th minute free kick levelled it at 2`2 against
:20:24. > :20:30.Northampton. Victory was then completed in injury time thanks to
:20:31. > :20:33.George Donnolly. It was also a good night for bottom club Accrington,
:20:34. > :20:35.who finally got their first league win of the season at home to
:20:36. > :20:43.Bristol Rovers. And Liverpool boxer Anthony Fowler
:20:44. > :20:45.has won bronze at the World Amateur Boxing Championships in Kazakhstan.
:20:46. > :20:48.The unseeded middleweight this morning overcame German Stefan
:20:49. > :20:51.Hartel ranked seventh. He now goes onto Friday's semi`final with the
:20:52. > :21:02.winner guaranteed at least a silver medal. It means the world to me A
:21:03. > :21:09.message for the people in Liverpool? I love you all. Thanks
:21:10. > :21:20.everyone. He is a man with big plans. He says
:21:21. > :21:24.he is a normal Liverpool lad with big ambitions. Followed his journey
:21:25. > :21:36.on twitter. Thank you. Right, let us move on to
:21:37. > :21:40.this been behind us. At 4,000 years old it must be one
:21:41. > :21:44.of the oldest human artifacts in the north`west.
:21:45. > :21:49.It is an Egyptian relic and is on display for the first time in
:21:50. > :21:51.Cheshire after being restored after being hidden away in a warehouse
:21:52. > :22:03.for over 100 years. This was built 2000 years before
:22:04. > :22:08.the birth of Christ and brought to Macclesfield by the intrepid
:22:09. > :22:12.Edwardian explorer. They thought when the sole of the money came out
:22:13. > :22:18.to see what was going on in the land of the living, if he needed
:22:19. > :22:24.somewhere to rest and put his feet up then he had a house which, we
:22:25. > :22:30.think was probably a model of the sort of house he would have lived
:22:31. > :22:34.in. Sol houses are rare and this one has lain in storage for over
:22:35. > :22:38.100 years. Why has it taken all this time to work out the ancient
:22:39. > :22:48.puzzle? Nobody had ever thought to do it. The cell house was conserved
:22:49. > :22:53.by Lancashire County Council museum service in Preston. It is very
:22:54. > :22:59.significant because it throws a lot of light on a modern audience as to

:23:04. > :23:08.and queens we are more familiar with. This is just one of three in
:23:09. > :23:13.the collection here in Macclesfield. The other two are incomplete but it
:23:14. > :23:19.is thought the fragments to make them Hall again make existing
:23:20. > :23:24.museums here in the UK. `` make them whole again. We are thinking
:23:25. > :23:29.of writing to the museum's to see if we can find the missing parts
:23:30. > :23:34.and see if we can make it complete again.
:23:35. > :23:42.Now, as they say, on to something completely different. A giant
:23:43. > :23:46.pumpkin that was growing in Lancashire has broken the world
:23:47. > :23:51.record for the fastest paddle across the open water. It makes you
:23:52. > :23:56.think someone else has tried this. Mark O'Hanlon sold the enormous
:23:57. > :24:01.fruit to an artist who decided to turn it into a boat. Tomorrow, he
:24:02. > :24:12.will turn it into a motor boat to sail it to the Isle of Wight.
:24:13. > :24:20.It was an heroic challenge of the high seas. Today, artist, Dmitiri
:24:21. > :24:23.Galitzine went where many fear to go... Straight into the record
:24:24. > :24:28.books paddling in a pumpkin in Portsmouth. I practised a lot
:24:29. > :24:32.yesterday and got a good technique. The first time I get it `` got in
:24:33. > :24:38.it was nerve`racking as I thought the bottom would fall out. She is
:24:39. > :24:48.pretty sturdy. The adventure started in Preston. Mark O'Hanlon
:24:49. > :24:55.grew the 800 panned whopper. `` the whopper that weighs ?800. He was so
:24:56. > :24:59.determined that his `` that this was going to happen despite
:25:00. > :25:05.everyone telling him it was a bonkers idea. Going into the sea in
:25:06. > :25:12.large vegetables is not a good idea. So, not content with one record he
:25:13. > :25:16.has his sights set on his punting smashing more records. Tomorrow
:25:17. > :25:22.the Giant Gourd will set sail to the Isle of Wight with an engine
:25:23. > :25:25.attached. There is a fair chance he will get
:25:26. > :25:37.a soggy bottom. I want one made out of a cause yet.
:25:38. > :25:43.It is a fruit. `` courgette. Let us get the weather.
:25:44. > :25:52.Good evening. It was a dreadfully wet start today, but this afternoon
:25:53. > :25:56.the weather really improved. For once, I would tell you that you
:25:57. > :26:04.won't you need your umbrella tomorrow. We are expecting good
:26:05. > :26:07.spells of sunshine. But it will not last. As we head into Friday, we
:26:08. > :26:19.expect a huge band of rain. That will stick with us for most of
:26:20. > :26:26.Friday and it brings with it a very strong winds indeed. Tonight, the
:26:27. > :26:32.picture improves. Mostly dry and the clouds will melt away. A breezy
:26:33. > :26:40.night. It will also be the coldest night we have had with temperatures
:26:41. > :26:45.dropping to single figures. The coldest place will be in Cheshire
:26:46. > :26:50.and parts of Cumbria with temperatures really falling away. A
:26:51. > :26:58.cold but dry start tomorrow. This is the first day we have had a dry
:26:59. > :27:07.start this week. Much like to wind tomorrow and the cloud will build
:27:08. > :27:13.through the afternoon. `` much lighter winds. Close your eyes if
:27:14. > :27:18.you have plans to be outdoors on Friday because this is what is
:27:19. > :27:21.coming. Hopefully, that will ease away. The weekend though looks
:27:22. > :27:34.fairly unsettled. Perfect pumpkin growing weather
:27:35. > :27:37.Manchester City have won against CSKA Moscow.
:27:38. > :27:42.And Manchester United coming up next.
:27:43. > :27:44.Thanks for watching. Good night Enjoy the sunshine tomorrow.
