:00:00. > :00:00.Yard's handling of the case. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, good evening, welcomd to North West Tonight with Rogdr

:00:12. > :00:14.Johnson and Annabel Tiffin. Two people are being questioned on

:00:15. > :00:18.suspicion of manslaughter after a two`year`old dies from a suspected

:00:19. > :00:23.hard put to `` heart attack in Blackpool. The little girl has been

:00:24. > :00:28.named as two`year`old Sophid Jones. Also tonight, poor regulation and

:00:29. > :00:32.missed safety checks. Residdnts ask why this Lancashire compost site was

:00:33. > :00:38.allowed to stay open. Moves in Liverpool to limbo bit `` to limit

:00:39. > :00:43.high stakes betting terminals. The UK's biggest bookmakers agrdes

:00:44. > :00:49.numbers should be capped. And it is with them and Widnes, Salford, in

:00:50. > :01:01.Super League. We will be ch`tting to both coaches later on.

:01:02. > :01:07.Two people have been arrestdd and have been questioned on suspicion of

:01:08. > :01:11.manslaughter after a toddler died from a suspected heart attack in

:01:12. > :01:15.Blackpool. The police have named little girl as two`year`old Sophie

:01:16. > :01:19.Jones. The man and a woman `re being questioned after the emergency

:01:20. > :01:25.services were called to Jamdson Street shortly before midnight on

:01:26. > :01:28.Tuesday. Judy Hobson reports. Police don't know what happdned to

:01:29. > :01:32.Sophie Jones on the night she died. The emergency services were called

:01:33. > :01:36.to this house in Jameson Street in Blackpool late on Tuesday. The

:01:37. > :01:41.toddler was taken to Blackpool's Victoria Hospital but died of a

:01:42. > :01:43.suspected cardiac arrest. Ndighbours said she often played with the

:01:44. > :01:51.children in the street and seemed bubbly and happy. Sophie was a

:01:52. > :01:56.beautiful little girl. She was just getting her own personality out

:01:57. > :02:02.just starting to talk. She was getting cheeky, copying her older

:02:03. > :02:06.sister, with a cheeky attittde. It seems a close`knit communitx here.

:02:07. > :02:10.There are a lot of young falilies and throughout the day neighbours

:02:11. > :02:13.have been coming to leave flowers and toys. Many of the tributes

:02:14. > :02:23.referred to Sophie Jones as a little angel. A pretty little thing,

:02:24. > :02:29.angelic. It is so sad. I never thought it would be on my own street

:02:30. > :02:33.and my friend's daughter, a big shock. I did not hear anythhng, just

:02:34. > :02:40.loud music and partying comhng from that house that night because they

:02:41. > :02:45.had a party. Police have bedn question `` granted an additional 36

:02:46. > :02:49.hours to question the 29`ye`r`old woman and 41`year`old man arrested

:02:50. > :02:55.on the mission of manslaughter and perverting the course of justice.

:02:56. > :02:58.Two other people were arrested on suspicion of child neglect `nd have

:02:59. > :03:03.been released. A postmortem examination could not establish what

:03:04. > :03:11.caused Sophie Jones to have a heart attack. Toxicology tests ard being

:03:12. > :03:17.carried out. Composting, turning our gredn waste

:03:18. > :03:22.into compost, is big business. There are 31 indoor and outdoor shtes in

:03:23. > :03:25.our region alone, but the process releases potentially harmful

:03:26. > :03:29.chemicals and bacteria so btsinesses have to be strictly controlled. We

:03:30. > :03:34.have discovered that one colposting site in Lancashire did not carry out

:03:35. > :03:37.crucial tests, so would no one knew what local residents were bding

:03:38. > :03:41.exposed to and one lawyer h`s told us that what we have exposed could

:03:42. > :03:46.be the tip of the iceberg. @bby Jones is here with us in thd studio

:03:47. > :03:49.with more. An alternative to landfill,

:03:50. > :03:52.composting sites are seen as good for the environment but thex are

:03:53. > :03:55.increasingly being challengdd by local communities and that hs

:03:56. > :04:00.because as the waste breaks down they release chemicals and bacteria

:04:01. > :04:06.into the atmosphere and it calls `` it can cause breathing problems and

:04:07. > :04:10.skin diseases, so they are supposed to be strictly run and regulated by

:04:11. > :04:14.the Environment Agency. We have uncovered shocking evidence that at

:04:15. > :04:19.one site in Fylde that did not happen.

:04:20. > :04:23.Iron House Farm in Out Rawcliffe. Pauline and Paige Hawtin ministered

:04:24. > :04:31.farm next to the Kos Ponting sight. They have bred horse for Quden. ``

:04:32. > :04:38.composting site. It is unbelievable how they have run this for so badly,

:04:39. > :04:43.for so long. Oberlin has taken notice of us. The site was supposed

:04:44. > :04:48.to test levels of bacteria dmitted but in three crucial years only a

:04:49. > :04:52.handful of tests were done, and in 2012 non`work carried out at all

:04:53. > :04:55.which meant no one knew what was coming off the site. The Environment

:04:56. > :04:59.Agency never realised the tdsts were missing and that did not take

:05:00. > :05:08.action. In November 20 ten, one tests showed the Hawtins was exposed

:05:09. > :05:11.to high levels of bacteria. In February the levels had dropped

:05:12. > :05:16.down, but the report was never submitted to the Environment Agency.

:05:17. > :05:21.Between 2010 and November 2013, the site breached its permit 51 times.

:05:22. > :05:29.Last August and audit found the way was being operated was unfathomable.

:05:30. > :05:34.The Hawtins fear the sites lade them and their horses else. 17 h`ve died.

:05:35. > :05:38.The vets say they cannot rule out toxins but so far there is no

:05:39. > :05:46.evidence the site has harmed them or their animals. Government experts

:05:47. > :05:49.have found no link. Losing 07, your homebred babies, watching them die

:05:50. > :05:54.and there is nothing they c`n do, the vets could not tell us what was

:05:55. > :05:59.up. The problems we see with composting are the tip of the

:06:00. > :06:03.iceberg. Manchester lawyer @lex Magaw has handled several c`ses

:06:04. > :06:08.involving composting sites. The Environment Agency don't have the

:06:09. > :06:14.resources to properly monitor these activities. What inevitably will

:06:15. > :06:22.happen is that there will bd some disaster that is the trigger to a

:06:23. > :06:26.backlash. By Robin the Environment Agency insists composting is low

:06:27. > :06:30.risk and the site has not c`used significant pollution. Some

:06:31. > :06:35.monitoring was provided but not all of this. If we became aware earlier

:06:36. > :06:39.we would have served enforcdment notices. Why won't you award they

:06:40. > :06:45.had not submitted all the rdports to you when it was a requirement? It is

:06:46. > :06:47.a failure of the company not provide the company not providing

:06:48. > :06:51.information and if we have become earlier where we would have picked

:06:52. > :06:54.it up. But it was your responsibility to become aw`re,

:06:55. > :07:01.wasn't it? If they haven't submitted reports to you, which is how you

:07:02. > :07:05.know it is run effectively? The press officer would not let him

:07:06. > :07:08.answer that question further. The former directors of B Clitheroe

:07:09. > :07:15.Limited, which ran Iron House Farm until last you `` June, reftsed to

:07:16. > :07:20.comment. The company which runs it now says it made 94% of improvements

:07:21. > :07:23.asked for within a short tile of taking over. It says it will carry

:07:24. > :07:28.out the rest and has made considerable investment. For Pauline

:07:29. > :07:34.and Paige that is too late `nd they hope to take legal action.

:07:35. > :07:39.There are 31 of these sites in the north`west. Should people who live

:07:40. > :07:44.near to composting site be worried? We're not saying that. Therd is not

:07:45. > :07:49.enough information about thd link between human and animal he`lth in

:07:50. > :07:54.nearby communities to these sites. This is a really new industry and if

:07:55. > :07:59.sites are well`run the risks seem to be low, but when they are not and

:08:00. > :08:03.when they are not properly regulated, as in this case, that is

:08:04. > :08:06.when problems occur. Abby Jones thank you.

:08:07. > :08:10.25`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body

:08:11. > :08:13.of a young was found in Salford Police were called to Holt Street in

:08:14. > :08:18.Eccles this morning, when officers around they found the body of a

:08:19. > :08:22.24`year`old who has been naled locally as Becky Ayres. A postmortem

:08:23. > :08:28.will take place later and enquiries are ongoing. Firefighters are using

:08:29. > :08:30.new techniques to extinguish a fire in Salford, to help protect the

:08:31. > :08:35.environment and local peopld. The fire, at a recycling site, broke out

:08:36. > :08:39.on Sunday. Firefighters are moving the burn waste from inside the

:08:40. > :08:43.building and are applying constant spray of water to the materhal and

:08:44. > :08:48.monitoring waste water to m`ke sure local are not polluted. Children at

:08:49. > :08:52.risk of abuse and neglect in the Isle of Man are not being ghven

:08:53. > :08:55.enough protection, according to an independent social care watchdog.

:08:56. > :08:58.The Care Inspectorate said some of the island's most vulnerabld

:08:59. > :09:02.children were not having thdir needs met. The inspection found that

:09:03. > :09:07.social workers were often too late to intervene in abusive households.

:09:08. > :09:12.The report found that urgent action was needed to protect and s`feguard

:09:13. > :09:14.children and young people. The Northwest based business Eddie

:09:15. > :09:21.Stobart is to sell off its famous trucks in a deal worth ?290 million.

:09:22. > :09:26.The business, which employs around 5000 people and operates ovdr 2 00

:09:27. > :09:29.vehicles, will be led by thd founder's youngest son Willham

:09:30. > :09:37.Stobart. The Stobart Group hs retaining a 49% stake says sale will

:09:38. > :09:40.enable it to almost wipe out debt. A paramedic who responded to a 99

:09:41. > :09:45.call in Preston this week dhscovered on arrival that the patient was a

:09:46. > :09:49.dog. The Calder North West @mbulance Service reported that a mald was

:09:50. > :09:53.having fits and then the caller hung up. An ambulance was sent to the

:09:54. > :09:58.address but when it arrived the paramedic was led to a dog, which

:09:59. > :10:04.had just died. Anti`fracking campaigners h`ve been

:10:05. > :10:07.in court today, fighting illegal attempt to `` fighting a legal

:10:08. > :10:11.attempt to evict them from their camp in Salford. Peel Holdings are

:10:12. > :10:14.seeking a possession order, giving them authority to remove tents from

:10:15. > :10:18.the sight at Barton Moss. D`ve Guest has been following the hearhng. He

:10:19. > :10:25.joins us from Manchester Civil Justice Centre. Who has to prove

:10:26. > :10:30.what in this case? First, Pdel has deprived prove the land is theirs

:10:31. > :10:32.and the land is theirs and to protesters are on it without

:10:33. > :10:35.permission and they should be removed. The protesters are saying

:10:36. > :10:44.they have alleged `` legitilate right to be there. They arrhved in

:10:45. > :10:49.November and set up camp ag`inst the company which is carrying ott test

:10:50. > :10:54.drilling next Eccles. It was said in court this is a national site for

:10:55. > :10:59.protests against fracking. What arguments are the protesters relying

:11:00. > :11:02.on? Their barrister has been relying on various parts of the European

:11:03. > :11:06.Convention on Human Rights for instance the right to a homd.

:11:07. > :11:09.Rudimentary as the camp is, he was saying that a number of the

:11:10. > :11:13.protesters considered their tents to be their homes, to throw thdm out

:11:14. > :11:18.would be, he said, a contravention of their human rights. He s`ys we

:11:19. > :11:20.all have a right to freedom of expression, that too would be cut

:11:21. > :11:25.held of the protesters were moved on. Peel say that is rubbish and the

:11:26. > :11:28.protesters have no tenancy rights on the land and they could express

:11:29. > :11:32.their feelings about fracking without occupying their land and

:11:33. > :11:36.this afternoon the judge sahd at one stage, they are not trying to stop

:11:37. > :11:40.your legal protest, they ard tracked seeking to stop it on their land. Mr

:11:41. > :11:44.Johnson replied, they need to be there for a short period of time.

:11:45. > :11:48.Earlier he had said the protesters would leave the site volunt`rily

:11:49. > :11:53.once the company had completed their test drilling. He estimated that

:11:54. > :11:56.would be towards the end of March. There has been discussion of how

:11:57. > :12:01.much of the camp would be affected by any order from the court? Lots of

:12:02. > :12:04.talk about boundary lines bdcause it has been suggested some of the tents

:12:05. > :12:10.may be on a neighbouring farmers field and could not be incltded in

:12:11. > :12:13.any possession order. Peel say the majorities on their land and they

:12:14. > :12:19.wanted to go. The judge has said he may wait until next week before

:12:20. > :12:23.handing down his judgement. If Peel win, when will the protesters be

:12:24. > :12:26.evicted? Once the judgement has been made, assuming the get the

:12:27. > :12:30.possession order, it could take several days for the bailiffs to

:12:31. > :12:34.organise themselves and polhce would be there to supervise the eviction

:12:35. > :12:39.if it happens. They have famously been called the

:12:40. > :12:43.crack cocaine of gambling and today, the chief executive of the TK's

:12:44. > :12:47.biggest bookmakers agreed that councils like Liverpool shotld have

:12:48. > :12:50.the right to limit the numbdr of bookmakers with fixed odds betting

:12:51. > :12:54.terminals on their streets. The company denied the machines were a

:12:55. > :12:58.problem. Roger is here with more details.

:12:59. > :13:05.Fixed odds betting terminals allow you to bet up to ?100 in just 2

:13:06. > :13:09.seconds. Across the Northwest more than ?800 million is fed into these

:13:10. > :13:15.machines every year. Of that, ? 60 million is lost. One complahnt by

:13:16. > :13:17.campaigners is that the highest number of machines tend to be

:13:18. > :13:26.concentrated in the most deprived areas. Liverpool, for example, there

:13:27. > :13:30.are 570 machines, into which gamblers put ?118 million l`st

:13:31. > :13:35.year. Manchester punters st`ked ?91 million. Sefton and Wigan wdre the

:13:36. > :13:38.next highest. Now, councillors in towns and cities right across the

:13:39. > :13:42.region are looking at ways of controlling the number of tdrminals

:13:43. > :13:47.and Liverpool today they have been getting the views of the betting

:13:48. > :13:51.industry. It is a phrase the industry hates.

:13:52. > :13:55.The crack cocaine of gambling. But this programme has heard pldnty of

:13:56. > :13:59.evidence of its addictive n`ture. Yellow baboon I have lost thousands

:14:00. > :14:08.of pounds, probably about ?20,0 0 worth of debt.

:14:09. > :14:11.You feed your money in therd. Councils in Lancashire and Liverpool

:14:12. > :14:15.want restrictions. That is why William Hill arrived in Livdrpool

:14:16. > :14:18.today, to show the city these machines are not that bad, the

:14:19. > :14:23.industry really does care. There is the ability of the customers to set

:14:24. > :14:28.limits. This lunchtime for `n hour and a half they tried to talk the

:14:29. > :14:32.council round. Did it work? It is a problem. People have got problem

:14:33. > :14:39.gambling in Liverpool and the impact these machines are having is huge.

:14:40. > :14:42.What you want is...? We want the powers to bring down the maximum

:14:43. > :14:46.state and rate of play and to know what is right in Liverpool. I have

:14:47. > :14:50.been outside this William Hhll by the town hall for 25 minutes. When I

:14:51. > :14:54.arrived there was a chap on the machine, the roulette machine

:14:55. > :14:59.inside. He is still there now. I have spoken to two of the four

:15:00. > :15:02.people to come out of the bookmakers. Two told me thex did not

:15:03. > :15:07.have a problem with the machines but two told me they did. Both spoke of

:15:08. > :15:10.addiction and refused to go on camera. We don't want probldm

:15:11. > :15:15.gamblers and people addicted, we want to see them being used for

:15:16. > :15:21.leisure gambling and we are focused on that. If you look at the

:15:22. > :15:25.information in shops, we do keep self exclude us out and conduct

:15:26. > :15:29.responsible interactions and we are focused on harm reduction. William

:15:30. > :15:34.Hill agrees councils should be able to set a number of bookmakers in the

:15:35. > :15:37.area but not a number on thd stake. They believe it will cost jobs. The

:15:38. > :15:46.council believes the current situation costs family farm.

:15:47. > :15:52.`` families far more. Still to come North West Tonight, the new scheme

:15:53. > :15:59.to protect the region's shedp from another foot and mouth disaster And

:16:00. > :16:01.derby des rivalry but can this poetic film build bridges bdtween

:16:02. > :16:17.East Lancashire's football fans Let's go on with the sheep! 13 years

:16:18. > :16:20.after foot and mouth devast`ted flocks of sheep across the region, a

:16:21. > :16:23.new system will soon go lifd which could help prevent it happening

:16:24. > :16:28.again. From the beginning of next month farmers will be able to record

:16:29. > :16:32.their livestock movements through a new database. It follows thd

:16:33. > :16:36.introduction of electronic tags in 2010 and Yunus Mulla has sent this

:16:37. > :16:40.report from the Lake District. Graham and Judith Galbraith have 300

:16:41. > :16:44.sheep at their farm near Kendal Most have electronic tags fhtted.

:16:45. > :16:49.From April, if these animals are taken to a livestock auction those

:16:50. > :16:54.tags will be read and then their movements put on a national

:16:55. > :16:57.database. Farmers want a silple reliable system. Basically the

:16:58. > :17:05.concept of electronic tags hs great. But in reality it is not accurate.

:17:06. > :17:08.In 2001, foot and mouth disdase led to the slaughter of more th`n 6

:17:09. > :17:15.million animals and it is estimated to have cost the UK as much as 4

:17:16. > :17:18.billion. What turned a small outbreak on a north`east farming to

:17:19. > :17:23.a national emergency was th`t no one could tell where thousands of sheep

:17:24. > :17:28.sold had ended up. The virus spread while paperwork was being checked.

:17:29. > :17:32.If there was to be an outbrdak of any disease we should be able to

:17:33. > :17:36.investigate the database, fhnd out where the moves have taken place,

:17:37. > :17:39.track the animals and make sure we close movements where those animals

:17:40. > :17:44.have arrived. At this road show farmers said they were worrhed about

:17:45. > :17:49.inaccurate readings and fin`ncial penalties for tags going missing and

:17:50. > :17:56.there was the question of what to do with lambs born before 2010, when

:17:57. > :17:58.electronic tags were introdtced The ability to trace specific animals

:17:59. > :18:06.becomes difficult so the database's real benefit to industry and a

:18:07. > :18:09.disease outbreak is compromhsed by non`identified sheet. Teethhng

:18:10. > :18:13.problems are expected when the system goes live but many f`rmers

:18:14. > :18:22.still need convincing that ht will make any real difference.

:18:23. > :18:29.So cute, little lambs, aren't they? Then they turn into ugly shdep! A

:18:30. > :18:33.bit like me when I grew up. Sport, an encouraging start to Supdr League

:18:34. > :18:38.forwarders and Salford. Four wins out of five for two sides who

:18:39. > :18:41.struggled last season. The Vikings and the Red Devils meet at Widnes

:18:42. > :18:47.tonight. Stuart Pollitt is there for us. This isn't just a clash of two

:18:48. > :18:54.teams from the region but also a clash of cultures? A little bit

:18:55. > :19:00.yes, both these `` both these teams have taken different routes,

:19:01. > :19:08.Widnes' gradual policy of ddveloping youth players, we are joined by

:19:09. > :19:13.Denis Betts, you must be delighted with your start, two out of two We

:19:14. > :19:18.were pleased with that, at the moment it is early in the ydar and

:19:19. > :19:23.our form has been good but ht comes on the back of the pre`season so I

:19:24. > :19:29.am pleased we have carried ht into the season. How do you see this

:19:30. > :19:34.tonight? Tough opposition? Salford with their high`profile signings?

:19:35. > :19:36.They have to things together, everyone is talking about l`st

:19:37. > :19:43.weekend. Their form is not `ll that bad. They will put things rhght

:19:44. > :19:47.things they need to work on. We will not be complacent. We have to keep

:19:48. > :19:52.ourselves on track and keep working hard. Brian, two good results, a

:19:53. > :19:57.setback last week. Where do you think you are right at this stage?

:19:58. > :20:02.We will not know until ten or 1 or 12 games. We don't want to do a

:20:03. > :20:06.whole lot better than last week is not what I'm saying, Saints showed

:20:07. > :20:10.us the way forward and we dhd not ourselves so we have to help

:20:11. > :20:16.ourselves a bit more than wd did last week. How do you feel they are

:20:17. > :20:21.gelling? Getting the players to play as a team? I think they are going

:20:22. > :20:24.great. It is a new team. Thd last thing that comes is fluiditx and

:20:25. > :20:30.connection in attack and thd kicking game, so we have two nail that as

:20:31. > :20:36.yet. But I am confident that we will take steps towards it tonight. May

:20:37. > :20:40.the best man win. We will go back to the preparations now and as those

:20:41. > :20:44.two depart behind me to catch the last stages of the youth te`m game

:20:45. > :20:48.between the two clubs, we whll move on to football and Liverpool

:20:49. > :20:54.dominated the fallout from the England game last night. No fewer

:20:55. > :20:57.than five players from the Reds started in the team. Raheem Sterling

:20:58. > :21:01.was man of the match and Daniel Sturridge scored the winning goal to

:21:02. > :21:05.enhance his reputation, which is growing with every game he plays it

:21:06. > :21:09.seems for club and country. The striker himself is not getthng

:21:10. > :21:14.carried away. It is good to score goals but that is my job and it is

:21:15. > :21:19.important that I help the tdam win the games and I don't get too

:21:20. > :21:22.excited to be honest with you. I like to be on the football field

:21:23. > :21:29.playing games, that is the lost important thing. Watterson `` season

:21:30. > :21:32.Daniel Sturridge is having. Now to the derby game in the north`west,

:21:33. > :21:37.Burnley against Blackburn. This fixture has been marred by

:21:38. > :21:40.increasing aggression and sometimes violence between both sets of

:21:41. > :21:44.supporters. But fans of both clubs have teamed up for a new video,

:21:45. > :21:46.which they are hoping will change that perception and I have been to

:21:47. > :21:55.meet some of those involved earlier today.

:21:56. > :22:00.We. We are born and bred, shown and lead. The film has been madd by

:22:01. > :22:03.Burnley fans, involving Blackburn supporters. We want to show a

:22:04. > :22:09.different side to the rivalry, that we are the same people supporting

:22:10. > :22:11.different teams and it is about celebrating the local area `nd what

:22:12. > :22:16.the game is celebrating people that make the game. This has been the

:22:17. > :22:20.image of the East Lancs Derby in recent years, a rivalry somd feel

:22:21. > :22:26.has gone too far and become too fierce. The aim of this viddo is to

:22:27. > :22:29.reduce the tension around this derby and therefore reduce the disruption

:22:30. > :22:34.to end the situation where police have to close roads and bass fans

:22:35. > :22:39.along here to attend the gale, as they will have to do this wdekend.

:22:40. > :22:45.Our colours which spread from stitch to skin... Some of us are fdd up

:22:46. > :22:50.with the way the derby fixttre is treated, with people being bussed

:22:51. > :22:54.from one ground to the other. Burnley supporter happens to live in

:22:55. > :22:57.Blackburne House got to go to Burnley to come to Blackburn. You

:22:58. > :23:02.had to go to Turf Moor in your Rovers kit to make a video. Were you

:23:03. > :23:07.worried? I thought it was a great opportunity to wear my Blackburn

:23:08. > :23:13.Rovers shirt at the ground. It is a friendly banter, friendly rhvalry.

:23:14. > :23:17.It is all about that, we love football and derby games and that is

:23:18. > :23:20.what it is about. If more stpporters of both clubs can make this a

:23:21. > :23:26.friendly derby it could change the feeling that surrounds this match.

:23:27. > :23:29.Let's hope things pass off peacefully at the weekend. Back to

:23:30. > :23:34.the world of Rugby League World Cup and a nice touch from the RFL, who

:23:35. > :23:38.have renamed the Man of Stedl Award given to Super League's best player

:23:39. > :23:41.of the season, they will call it the Steve Prescott award after the

:23:42. > :23:45.former St Helens player who died last year. He raised hundreds of

:23:46. > :23:49.thousands of pounds for charity after being diagnosed with cancer in

:23:50. > :23:54.2006, a fitting memorial to a great man and a great fundraiser. The

:23:55. > :23:58.Super League action will kick`off at 8pm this evening. You can gdt full

:23:59. > :24:02.match commentary on Radio Mdrseyside or Radio Manchester, dependhng on
