:00:00. > :00:00.there are major concerns about the spread of disease. That is all from

:00:00. > :00:11.us. Good evening. Welcome to North West

:00:12. > :00:14.Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top story:

:00:15. > :00:17.Deported without his mum. The seven`year`old threatened with being

:00:18. > :00:21.kicked out of the country. His MP has called it "bizarre". Also

:00:22. > :00:25.tonight: Terror in the sky. A court hears how two Lancashire men

:00:26. > :00:28.threatened to blow up an airliner with hundreds of passengers on

:00:29. > :00:31.board. Memories of the Great War. The

:00:32. > :00:41.horrors of the front line written by injured soldiers in Manchester 00

:00:42. > :00:45.years ago. They told him they would probably have to remove his arm He

:00:46. > :00:48.begged them not to because he had just got a goal back in England and

:00:49. > :00:51.he wanted to put his arm around her. Tips from the top Down Under.

:00:52. > :00:57.Australia's rugby league squad share their skills with eager

:00:58. > :00:59.schoolchildren. And step inside Cumbria 's newest

:01:00. > :01:14.cinema. A seven`year`old boy from Merseyside

:01:15. > :01:19.has been ordered out of the country, leaving his mother behind. The Home

:01:20. > :01:22.Office have told him if he doesn't go voluntarily, he may be forced to

:01:23. > :01:26.leave. Jamie Leung from Southport is a Canadian citizen but his mother

:01:27. > :01:30.Sara has dual Canadian and British nationality. Their MP has described

:01:31. > :01:35.the situation as "absolutely bizarre". In a moment, we'll be

:01:36. > :01:39.talking to an immigration law expert. First, this from our

:01:40. > :01:43.Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill. Jamie Leung and his mum Sara at

:01:44. > :01:48.their home in Southport this afternoon. Both were born in Canada.

:01:49. > :01:53.But as Sara's dad is British, she has a British passport. They came to

:01:54. > :01:57.the UK last year. Now Jamie's had a Home Office letter saying he must

:01:58. > :02:00.leave. It's addressed to Master Leung and it says if he doesn't make

:02:01. > :02:14.arrangements to leave, his departure may be enforced. Obviously, I'm

:02:15. > :02:18.really upset. To have such a horrible thing is every mother s

:02:19. > :02:23.nightmare, to have your child taken away by the Government, of all

:02:24. > :02:26.things. It's upsetting and scary. Sara has a new partner, Heiko, with

:02:27. > :02:30.whom she has two more children. Heiko is German. One of their

:02:31. > :02:39.children was born in Germany. The other was born here. The different

:02:40. > :02:43.nationalities make this a complicated case, but the family 's

:02:44. > :02:48.fundamental point is that Jamie is basic human right, that he should be

:02:49. > :02:55.with his mother, is more important than any legal or technical reasons

:02:56. > :03:01.why he should leave the country I think it would be a national scandal

:03:02. > :03:05.if a British mamma with her own child cannot have her child in this

:03:06. > :03:12.country when she is a resident in this country. When the family

:03:13. > :03:16.arrived in the UK, they were told they'd have to apply for Jamie to

:03:17. > :03:17.stay. As neither parent is working, they chose a method which costs less

:03:18. > :03:36.than others. We're now joined by immigration

:03:37. > :03:40.lawyer Shazia Riaz. We heard the MP calling this bizarre. Have you ever

:03:41. > :03:49.heard of a case where a child has been deported without a parent? They

:03:50. > :03:53.do get letters of refusals. They are quite bog`standard. However, at the

:03:54. > :03:58.end of them, they say, you have no right to stay in the UK, which is

:03:59. > :04:03.ridiculous the children, and they should look at whether the child can

:04:04. > :04:09.leave or not. It is common practice for these letters to go out,

:04:10. > :04:12.however, it is alarming for parents. What are the chances this could go

:04:13. > :04:19.through and he could have to leave the country without her? The chances

:04:20. > :04:29.are the child would deported alone. However, the decision should be made

:04:30. > :04:33.properly. The UK have become clinical than making decisions and

:04:34. > :04:39.we are seeing many court cases because of wrong decisions they have

:04:40. > :04:43.made, like a child leaving the UK. It does seem to lack common sense

:04:44. > :04:49.that standard letters can be sent out to a seven`year`old boy. It s

:04:50. > :04:56.quite common. Letters like these are sent out, but again, they should be

:04:57. > :05:03.looking at the bigger picture, he's got a family here. It's quite

:05:04. > :05:08.surprising in an environment where sports people and artists are

:05:09. > :05:11.allowed to stay, even with distant relatives. You could've had a

:05:12. > :05:16.grandparent born in the UK and you can apply for a Visa under that

:05:17. > :05:22.When a child and his mother has been told to leave the country is

:05:23. > :05:28.ridiculous. What can she do now My advice would be to take this

:05:29. > :05:36.further, having reviewed. To show her papers to somebody. However not

:05:37. > :05:40.to worry. They went to put a child on its own or it will go down that

:05:41. > :05:45.route at war, but the mid to get good advice on how to deal with

:05:46. > :05:57.that. The MP is involved in that, which is good.

:05:58. > :06:06.The bodies of a man and a woman have been discovered at a house in

:06:07. > :06:07.Manchester. It's not yet known how they died and police are

:06:08. > :06:27.investigating. A Chinese businessman "massacred" a

:06:28. > :06:30.Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer and his family in revenge

:06:31. > :06:36.for a lengthy legal battle which left him "faced with ruin", a court

:06:37. > :06:40.has heard. Jifeng Ding, his wife and daughters were stabbed to death at

:06:41. > :06:54.their home in Wootton in Northampton in April 2011. 54`year`old Anxiang

:06:55. > :06:57.Du denies the charges. Two men from Nelson in Lancashire

:06:58. > :07:00.threatened to blow up a Boeing 77 at 30,000 feet, a court has been

:07:01. > :07:04.told. The Pakistan Airlines flight was heading for Manchester Airport

:07:05. > :07:07.in May this year. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing

:07:08. > :07:13.at Stansted Airport and fighter jets were scrambled. Both men deny being

:07:14. > :07:21.terrorists. Pakistani airlines, after making an

:07:22. > :07:29.emergency landing at Stansted airport. The flight was bound for

:07:30. > :07:33.Manchester but it was diverted and escorted to Stansted by RAF Typhoon

:07:34. > :07:40.fighters. Among the passengers were these men. They were flying back to

:07:41. > :07:45.England after attending Mohammed Morsi macro mother's funeral. Some

:07:46. > :07:49.passengers said the men were behaving in a rude and aggressive

:07:50. > :07:58.manner before the flight took off. The prosecution said Muhammed became

:07:59. > :08:16.angry. The QC leading the prosecution told the jury:

:08:17. > :08:25.Mohammed Morsi and the man deny the charge of endangering the safety of

:08:26. > :08:28.an aircraft. The trial continues. A Blackpool surgeon who killed four

:08:29. > :08:31.patients and maimed six others during botched operations has

:08:32. > :08:33.withdrawn his application to re`join the Medical Registrar. Steven Walker

:08:34. > :08:36.was found guilty of serious professional misconduct and struck

:08:37. > :08:49.off in 1995 after admitting the manslaughter of 71`year`old Dorothy

:08:50. > :08:53.McPhee. Cunard is to bring all three of its

:08:54. > :08:55.Queen cruise liners to Liverpool to mark the 175th anniversary of its

:08:56. > :08:59.transatlantic sailings from the port. Queen Mary II will begin the

:09:00. > :09:02.celebrations in May 2015, when she berths overnight at the cruise liner

:09:03. > :09:04.terminal. The following day, she'll be joined by Queens Elizabeth and

:09:05. > :09:08.Victoria. A court's heard that a teenager who

:09:09. > :09:11.killed a man in Bolton town centre had assaulted two other strangers in

:09:12. > :09:15.similar attacks nearby in the previous week. Simon Mitchell died

:09:16. > :09:19.after being punched by Eden Lomax while on a night out. The

:09:20. > :09:23.17`year`old from Deane has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies

:09:24. > :09:28.murder. Naomi Cornwell's been following the case at Manchester

:09:29. > :09:39.Crown Court. So Naomi, how did the two come to meet each other that

:09:40. > :09:46.night? Simon was 33 years old and from the hunger Hill area. He had

:09:47. > :09:51.been out drinking with a friend His friend had gone home and the court

:09:52. > :09:59.heard Mr Mitchell was drunk when at 9pm, you was approached by a group

:10:00. > :10:05.of teenagers. Among those teenagers was Eden Lomax. The two of them had

:10:06. > :10:10.never met. A video interview with one Lomax's friends was paid `` play

:10:11. > :10:16.to the code in which the friend said, how has your night been? When

:10:17. > :10:22.Mr Mitchell told them to his friends had committed suicide, Eden became

:10:23. > :10:29.upset. The court was told that Eden was told if you don't go away, I

:10:30. > :10:36.will burn you. What's a bomb? The court heard that as he tried to

:10:37. > :10:42.shake hands with Eden, Lomax punched him. The prosecution alleges that

:10:43. > :10:47.Simon Mitchell, Eden said to him: That's a bomb. Mr Mitchell was

:10:48. > :10:52.pronounced dead in hospital an hour later. Eden Lomax has been pleaded

:10:53. > :11:03.guilty to manslaughter but no mice murder. `` but denies murder. The

:11:04. > :11:11.prosecution barrister told the jury that the degree of violence was no

:11:12. > :11:15.means unique as on two previous occasions, Eden Lomax had punched

:11:16. > :11:21.men in the street. For both of those, he has been convicted of

:11:22. > :11:25.actual bodily harm and his trial for Mr Mitchell's murder will continue

:11:26. > :11:28.tomorrow. Still to come on North West Tonight:

:11:29. > :11:31.We'll be finding out about this book: First`hand accounts of the

:11:32. > :11:34.horrors of the front line written by First World War soldiers,

:11:35. > :11:45.convalescing in a Manchester hospital.

:11:46. > :11:48.And Cumbria's newest cinema. Bringing the excitement of the big

:11:49. > :12:00.screen to one of the region's smallest communities.

:12:01. > :12:05.It's Children in Need, of course, on Friday, and throughout the week

:12:06. > :12:08.we'll be looking at some of the projects funded through your

:12:09. > :12:11.donations. Tonight, we're looking at a charity in Liverpool which does

:12:12. > :12:15.invaluable work with children whose lives are changed forever by the

:12:16. > :12:29.death of a loved one ` the Oakleaf Bereavement Service.

:12:30. > :12:42.He used to get 's comics, we called him grandad comic. I miss him

:12:43. > :12:47.because he never took us to the pictures any more. My dad died of

:12:48. > :12:52.cancer in April. We used to play guitar together and stuff like that

:12:53. > :12:57.and did lots of musical stuff together. Both our grandfathers died

:12:58. > :13:04.within a week of each other. It was very difficult because they were so

:13:05. > :13:07.involved in our lives. It's when you look back at family photos or would

:13:08. > :13:14.you plan to go out as a family and he's not there. He used to take me

:13:15. > :13:24.to the park and he used to take me to the zoo and we used to have lots

:13:25. > :13:33.of fun and play games. Even when you are feeling a little bit sad, your

:13:34. > :13:40.feeling angry, you can get in that belt and bring something fun out to

:13:41. > :13:45.do. They are able to reintroduce that person who they are missing,

:13:46. > :13:48.whether mum or dad or Nan grandad or sister or brother, they are able to

:13:49. > :14:15.reintroduce them into their lives again. It makes such a difference.

:14:16. > :14:20.He had blue eyes. Don't... It's just helped us realise it's OK to feel

:14:21. > :14:24.sad, it's OK to be angry and upset. It's made us realise that everyone

:14:25. > :14:33.goes through grief in a different way. It makes you feel human again.

:14:34. > :14:40.It gives, like, ways of dealing with your anger when you are upset. They

:14:41. > :14:54.have absolutely worked magic with both of them. I can't thank them

:14:55. > :15:00.enough, not in this lifetime. A fabulous service, and it's nice to

:15:01. > :15:06.see where the money goes. It is Joe and Brennan in the report there is

:15:07. > :15:11.on BBC radio Merseyside's but the show to morrow morning, talking

:15:12. > :15:25.about how valuable the money is No make up for work, pyjamas to work,

:15:26. > :15:31.ways to raise money. We will be at the arts Centre on Friday night You

:15:32. > :15:35.will have no make up on! Next tonight, the moving stories of

:15:36. > :15:40.First World War soldiers in their own words. They were written when

:15:41. > :15:44.they were recovering from battle wounds at a hospital in Manchester

:15:45. > :15:47.and have never been published. They were collected by a soldier from

:15:48. > :15:50.Derbyshire and, fortunately for us, his family has held onto them for

:15:51. > :16:04.almost a century. Maybe you're related to one of the writers.

:16:05. > :16:14.Stuart Flinders reports. These are life and death stories. Then the

:16:15. > :16:21.Germans got on top bus and car toss up but our chaps had two machine

:16:22. > :16:27.guns opened fired on them. Those words were written right here in

:16:28. > :16:32.central Manchester. This used to be a hospital. Soldiers returning from

:16:33. > :16:35.the front would be treated with their injuries. Amongst them,

:16:36. > :16:45.Corporal Fred header from Derbyshire. It was November, 19 4,

:16:46. > :16:49.very cold weather. He was hit by a dumb dumb bullet in his right arm.

:16:50. > :16:54.They told him that they would probably have to remove his arm He

:16:55. > :17:06.begged them not to because he just got a lady back in England and

:17:07. > :17:10.wanted to put his arm around her. . Fred was brought to the hospital in

:17:11. > :17:26.Manchester, the girl, Ada, a regular visitor. I had been at the front for

:17:27. > :17:36.four months and was unlucky enough to get wounded in the face. I

:17:37. > :17:44.stopped for 12 hours. Private GP delicate. When I was a child, that

:17:45. > :17:49.book was at the back of a cupboard. It's only now, with age, the wall

:17:50. > :17:56.being 100 years ago, that things become more interesting. Corporal

:17:57. > :17:59.Heather married Ada and lived on until the 1970s. What happened next

:18:00. > :18:08.for the others is, for the moment, a mystery. Brilliant. And we've got

:18:09. > :18:15.the book here. It is nearly 100 years old, so it is fragile. I don't

:18:16. > :18:18.want any of the page falling out, but as well as the beautiful

:18:19. > :18:27.stories, there's some lovely pictures. I was reading one in the

:18:28. > :18:32.office. It said: Our general told us to have as much rest as we could. We

:18:33. > :18:37.were going into the trenches in the night. We had very young chaps with

:18:38. > :18:43.us were very frightened. A lot of them have written quite

:18:44. > :18:49.matter`of`factly as well. For example: We got a few yards near the

:18:50. > :18:55.German guns but ran into barbed wire. I had my 's shot under me

:18:56. > :19:02.Some of the stories are from as far back as Africa. If you recognise any

:19:03. > :19:06.of the names, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps, you are related.

:19:07. > :19:11.The Australian rugby league team is no stranger to records. As the best

:19:12. > :19:14.team around for the last four decades, they're currently based in

:19:15. > :19:17.Manchester, trying to win the World Cup. But today, they were spreading

:19:18. > :19:20.the message of rugby league to school children in the city as

:19:21. > :19:32.another record was attempted. Stuart Pollitt reports.

:19:33. > :19:37.As the biggest and best team in the world, the Aussies are used to

:19:38. > :19:42.breaking records. But even they occasionally misplace their passes.

:19:43. > :19:46.These children couldn't afford any mistakes as they tried to break the

:19:47. > :19:50.record for consecutive passes with a rugby ball of whatever size!

:19:51. > :20:01.Unfortunately, the record attempt fell short, but the sport's impact

:20:02. > :20:06.in recent week hasn't. Really big impact. I watch rugby all the time.

:20:07. > :20:13.I watched a couple of games in four I would like to give it a go, so

:20:14. > :20:18.here I am. These Australian players are some of the biggest sports stars

:20:19. > :20:23.down under. Part of their mission here is not just to win, but also to

:20:24. > :20:33.inspire the next generation of English players. It's our

:20:34. > :20:39.responsibility to spread the gospel of rugby league in the world. We are

:20:40. > :20:42.probably making a harder for ourselves in the long run! The

:20:43. > :20:45.Australian's stay hasn't all been friendly handshakes. One of their

:20:46. > :20:50.players was robbed, another involved in a fight outside a bar. It's

:20:51. > :20:54.unfortunate, the incidents you have spoken about, but where ever you go,

:20:55. > :21:11.those thoughts sorts of things will happen. But the people of Manchester

:21:12. > :21:14.have welcomed us with open arms Now to the opening of the region's

:21:15. > :21:18.newest cinema. Push all thoughts of massive multiplexes out of your mind

:21:19. > :21:25.because this has just one screen. Just 35 seats. Jayne McCubbin is

:21:26. > :21:44.there for us in the Cumbrian hamlet of Oxen Park. I wish I had the right

:21:45. > :21:49.outfit on now! This is my idea of heaven. You buy a pint at the lovely

:21:50. > :21:57.country pub and you step inside the courthouse in our club. You pay your

:21:58. > :22:02.money on the door, ?2, yes ?2! And in we go, along with one of the

:22:03. > :22:08.newcomers. Take a look around. They are having a sound check. This is

:22:09. > :22:13.the idea of Carol here, who bought the house next door, and this place

:22:14. > :22:22.came with it. And you had a chat in the palm. `` in the pub. One was a

:22:23. > :22:32.recycling paper. The other idea Asilomar. `` a cinema. From ten

:22:33. > :22:37.years, Cowell has triggered the Cinema club on the road. This is

:22:38. > :22:59.tonight 's presentation. I'm not a movie mogul! I'm the

:23:00. > :23:05.secretary. No movie moguls round here, very much a team effort. It's

:23:06. > :23:14.been a 10`year epic journey leading to tonight. They are almost ready.

:23:15. > :23:28.We have got to screw down the seeds. And then all systems go? The chairs

:23:29. > :23:33.are from Charles. A real community effort has helped to turn an old

:23:34. > :23:41.stable block into a cinema. You have arrived with tonight 's raffle

:23:42. > :23:47.prize. Let's see. It's ten years of raffle prizes, tickets and

:23:48. > :23:54.donations. Yes, and a huge amount of funding from various organisations.

:23:55. > :24:01.It has all the basics covered, is green, seeds, some more comfy than

:24:02. > :24:05.others. This is not a multiplex Here, people are not really

:24:06. > :24:10.customers. People want to come together for an evening to enjoy a

:24:11. > :24:16.good movie. A different atmosphere entirely from a city centre

:24:17. > :24:25.multiplex. I can tell which one you would prefer! So, tonight is the

:24:26. > :24:29.opening night, but a test run for a big black`tie do next week. How do

:24:30. > :24:39.you come up with your movie selections? Is the best part of the

:24:40. > :24:47.committee work. You're one of the viewing public this evening. Today

:24:48. > :25:00.make good choices? Yes. Most of them. Tonight 's choice? And more.

:25:01. > :25:05.John, next week, what will be the feature presentation? It's a film

:25:06. > :25:11.we've made ourselves: A historical documentary. Hopefully, all the

:25:12. > :25:19.stars will be coming. Good luck with it. Do popping if you are in the

:25:20. > :25:35.area. We haven't had I invite to the premiere! It's in the post.

:25:36. > :25:44.If I start the weather forecast with a frosty weather ball, I think you

:25:45. > :25:49.know what that means. We have had decent conditions today. Lots of

:25:50. > :25:54.clear skies. Because of that, we will pay fed tonight. A cold night.

:25:55. > :26:00.You can see that we keep the temperature is, in some places, in

:26:01. > :26:08.single figures because of the cold air which continues to circulate

:26:09. > :26:12.from the Arctic. For tonight, plenty of clear skies hanging on from this

:26:13. > :26:19.afternoon. It will be breezy as well. It will be a chilly night I

:26:20. > :26:26.think temperatures will fall below freezing in parts by tomorrow

:26:27. > :26:30.morning. Tomorrow, we are expecting rain later on in the day and strong

:26:31. > :26:35.winds, but tomorrow morning, you will need to do this. You will

:26:36. > :26:39.probably need to scrape your windscreen is because we are

:26:40. > :26:46.expecting Frost first thing tomorrow morning. A cold, crisp, dry start,
