industry. We are back with the late news at

:00:00.:00:13.

Good evening. Police searching for Adam pick`up have found a body.

:00:14.:00:28.

Although no formal identification has taken place detectives believe

:00:29.:00:32.

it is the 17`year`old from Stockport. There seem to be no

:00:33.:00:38.

suspicious circumstances. What have the police said? This came through

:00:39.:00:45.

about an hour ago. Police had been searching the area of Manchester

:00:46.:00:49.

where Adam pick`up was last seen on the early hours of Saturday morning.

:00:50.:00:57.

It is unusual for the police to comment on identity before formal

:00:58.:01:01.

identification is made but they said they are pretty sure it is him. They

:01:02.:01:06.

say there are no suspicious circumstances but there will be a

:01:07.:01:11.

postmortem, and police said speculation about what happened will

:01:12.:01:15.

not help to give his family the answers they are looking for. This

:01:16.:01:20.

was the news they must have been dreading? His mother has posted on

:01:21.:01:23.

Facebook a comment saying... The body was found shortly after a

:01:24.:01:38.

news Christmas where his father was appealing for information, and the

:01:39.:01:46.

police have released new CCTV footage of Adam pick`up walking

:01:47.:01:50.

through Manchester City centre. They had also been searching the canals

:01:51.:01:54.

and alleyways around Manchester City centre hoping to find them. The

:01:55.:02:00.

family said he had stayed out the fall overnight but had always said

:02:01.:02:05.

when he did that. There had been lots on social media and lots of

:02:06.:02:10.

reaction tonight on social media online to what is undoubtedly sad

:02:11.:02:20.

news indeed. More than 8000 non`emergency

:02:21.:02:23.

patients have suffered long delays waiting for a private ambulance

:02:24.:02:36.

company to take them to hospitals. Arriva Transport says patients are

:02:37.:02:38.

actually arriving on time more frequently than before.

:02:39.:02:44.

This MP has been a long`time critic of the involvement of private

:02:45.:02:46.

companies in the health service and supported the union backed campaigns

:02:47.:02:53.

to stop the awarding of the contract to Arriva Transport, and she says

:02:54.:02:58.

she has evidence patients are suffering. I put any freedom of

:02:59.:03:04.

information request and the picture painted is terrifying. We are seeing

:03:05.:03:10.

85 complaints a month and in the first six months, over 8000 patients

:03:11.:03:16.

waiting more than two hours for an ambulance to turn up. Arriva

:03:17.:03:21.

Transport says the NHS commissioners who awarded the contract are happy

:03:22.:03:25.

with the service. In a statement they told us...

:03:26.:03:37.

Over the last eight months, the number of complaints has reduced.

:03:38.:03:51.

Lucy Powell says she intends to take up the concerns with NHS

:03:52.:04:01.

commissioners as soon as possible. It has been revealed that a plane

:04:02.:04:06.

carrying 61 passengers from the Isle of Man made its descent. An official

:04:07.:04:10.

report has confirmed the plane could have hit the Runcorn bridge if the

:04:11.:04:13.

crew hadn't adjusted its flight path. Flybe says passengers were

:04:14.:04:18.

never in any danger. It has taken action to strengthen safety

:04:19.:04:23.

procedures. The Runcorn Bridge Tower is nearly

:04:24.:04:27.

300 feet above the River Mersey and it has been revealed in June, a

:04:28.:04:31.

flight coming into John Lennon airport found itself uncomfortably

:04:32.:04:39.

close to the local landmark. The official report just published

:04:40.:04:43.

reveals that the plane was being flown by the co`pilot as it began

:04:44.:04:47.

its descent. The weather was good and the view was clear but it

:04:48.:04:53.

appears the depths below the recommended height for flying over

:04:54.:04:58.

the bridge. The crew when in the process of changing the flight path

:04:59.:05:01.

when the alarm triggered but the plane went on to land safely. Nobody

:05:02.:05:08.

was available for interview today but the company sent us a statement.

:05:09.:05:13.

They said both they and the investigation Branch looked into

:05:14.:05:19.

what happened and were satisfied nothing had happened but in light of

:05:20.:05:23.

this they have taken further actions to improve safety.

:05:24.:05:33.

:06:09.:06:14.

Merseyside police say it is lucky no one was seriously injured when a

:06:15.:06:18.

gunman fired the shot through a window of a pub last night. Police

:06:19.:06:22.

have been carrying out house`to`house enquiries. Three

:06:23.:06:27.

months ago the pub was the target of a suspected arson attack.

:06:28.:06:33.

Manuel Pellegrini has refused to comment on a photograph showing

:06:34.:06:37.

:06:38.:06:42.

We could see some high winds tomorrow. We could have two flood

:07:13.:07:19.

alerts. The wind was recorded at 52 mph but through this evening the

winds are beginning to ease and you can see the rain disappearing.

:07:24.:07:30.

Clouds beginning to build once again and rain slowly spreading with

:07:31.:07:35.

temperatures well above freezing. New Year's Eve will be a breezy our

:07:36.:07:39.

fear and we are going to see rain from the beginning tomorrow. Light

:07:40.:07:45.

outbreaks initially and then some heavy showers coming in. The

:07:46.:07:52.

brighter conditions will not last and more rain spreading and in the

:07:53.:07:59.

afternoon. Maybe nine Celsius tomorrow so not bad at all but a few

Another day off strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. At least things

:08:39.:08:45.

are quiet at the moment. The rain has cleared off and the wind is

:08:46.:08:49.

lighter. There might be some ice in Scotland, but through the night the

:08:50.:08:55.

wind picks up, lifting temperatures, but more heavy rain pushing in. The
