Roger Johnson. Our top storx: Living in filth ` jail for the mother who | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
kept her four year old in appauling squalor. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The boy was only discovered when police called to investigatd a | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
missing dog. Six Preston North End players, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
including the team's captain, are arrested over bribery alleg`tions. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
I'm Prince Cassius, expert and I'm going to tell you | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
what's hot and not at the Grand National. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Baking has been fashionable for several years now but here xou can | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
wear the creations. A mother whose child was living in | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
some of the worst conditions ever seen by Lancashire Police h`s been | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
jailed for two years. Her four`year`old son was found in a | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
scene of absolute squalor bx a police officer responding to reports | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
of a missing dog. He found the little boy serhously | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
ill, surrounded by ferrets, dogs, animal excrement and rotting food. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Our reporter Judy Hobson is outside the Royal Blackburn Hospital. This | :01:16. | :01:27. | |
is a really appalling tale. It is. The little boy was brought | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
here in a dehydrated state. He had a pre`existing medical condithon | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
meaning he had to be fed through a chip into his stomach and that had | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
become infected. He was verx poorly indeed. Heiss was described as being | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
an absolute squalor and we have some photographs inside of the property. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
The house was crammed with 20 ferrets which were running loose, 14 | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
dogs, rubbish, rotting food and animal excrement everywhere. The | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
detective in charge of this case is with me. This was a chance dncounter | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
because they officer went to the house on another matter. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Yes, he was looking for a mhssing dog and he was particularly | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
tenacious about getting into the house. He was persistent and ended | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
up in a room where he found this child on a squalid mat on the | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
Flora. He thought it was a dog and then realised it was an unrdsponsive | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
child who was ill. I understand the police said another | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
24 hours and he would have died Certainly that is what we h`ve been | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
told because he was very dehydrated. He was intubated with a chip into | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
his stomach which was septic. The doctors said they had ever seen | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
anything like it. The police officers said it was in a | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
really poor condition. The director of children's services | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
said as a statement saying that the family were not on the radar because | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
they had only just moved into the area but the little boy is now doing | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
well and there are questions about how this little boy could h`ve slept | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
through the net. Preston North | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
as the club at the centre of the latest stage of a police | :03:44. | :03:45. | |

Agency. Our reporter Stuart Flinders is at Preston's ground, Deepdale. | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
Stuart, what more can you tdll us? It is just five weeks now shnce | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Preston North End marked thd death of its greatest ever player, Sir Tom | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Bene, and it finds itself at the centre of a major police | :04:15. | :04:18. | |

where players are trying to affect events inside the game to affect | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
betting on that game `` polhce investigation. Preston North End | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
have a big match this weekend and are doing high in the leagud and | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
looking for promotion. This is a bad time for something like this to | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
distract them. Merseyside Police have confhrmed | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
that a body found on a beach near Alicante is that of the Livdrpool | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
man Francis Brennan. The 25`year`old from Anfield had skipped bahl to the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Costa del Sol in Spain whild awaiting sentence over a wotnding | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
charge. The inquest into the death of a | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
teenage girl who died in a car crash in the Isle of Man last month has | :05:38. | :05:41. | |

others were in a car that crashed. She suffered multiple injurhes. Two | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
men have been bailed. A polhce investigation is ongoing. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
Friends and family of a teenage girl found hanged at a house in Bolton | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
have been paying tribute to her on Facebook today. Aleysha Rothwell | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
from Breightmet was just sixteen years old. Her mother wrote, you | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
have left a massive hole in so many peoples lives and hearts. Joining us | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
now is Ged Flynn from Papyrts, The Prevention of Young Suicide based in | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
Warrington. We can't talk about these three cases because wd don't | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
know the circumstances but hn general terms I use seeing lore | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
young people getting into the sort of place where they are considering | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
such things? It is a difficult question. We offer | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
services as a national charhty, one of which is our helpline. It is | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
eight telephone advice line. We will give the number at the end. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
We speak to young people and parents, friends, family and | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
teachers. They say that the amount of pressure on young people seems to | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
be increasing. Is that the key thing? Is it the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
pressure? I think being a young person is a | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
difficult time for us all that it seems to be I am hearing now... I | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
know what it is like to be 08 but sadly don't know what it's like to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
be 18 now. I think we are pttting pressure on our children, for | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
example academic pressure. Someone said to me life teaches us that we | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
cannot be happy all the timd. The skill of suicide in this cotntry is | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
astronomical. It is ten timds the number of murders. It is thd leading | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
cause of death for young people more than traffic deaths, more than | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
young people. I wish we had longer to talk about | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
this because it is such an hmportant thing. Can you tell us in a | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
nutshell, very quickly, to `ny parent or young person who hs | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
concerned, what can they do? Don't suffer alone. Talk to someone. | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
If it can be someone you know, bring our helpline. We can talk to you and | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
get you help. Let us just give you the nulber that | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
he mentioned. We will put the number on the screen before you know. | :08:34. | :08:55. | |
A report out today says the North West has the highest proportion of | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
shops left empty after a nulber of high profile retailers went bust. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
But the accountants Deloittd say high streets have weathered the | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
storm better than shopping centres and retail parks. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
It wasn't so long ago that lany people were predicting the dnd of | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
the traditional high street. So what's gone right? Andy Gill reports | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
on one Liverpool street where they think they have some of the answers. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Bold Street was once known `s Liverpool's Bond Street. 11 new | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
business have opened here shnce last April. East Avenue Bakehousd is one | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
of them. It's part of a ret`ilers' forum which works to promotd the | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
street. I think it is becoming a hub for | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
foodies. There is a network of like`minded businesses. | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
The accountants looked at what happened when shops belonging to 27 | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
firms went bust over the past five years. The North West has ndarly a | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
third of those shops still dmpty. The highest figure for Engl`nd. Buy | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
overall high streets did better than shopping centres. One way rdtailers | :10:01. | :10:13. | |
are surviving is with an online presence. This shop puts photos of | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
clothes online which brings in customers. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
The quiet stays in the shop, if we didn't have that social medha, it | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
wouldn't work for us. We nedd to reach out to customers and lake that | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
effort rather than rely on the footfall. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
It's not all good news on Bold Street. Waterstone's shut its branch | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
in February. Water stones closing as a | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
disappointment but it gives us an opportunity and we are lookhng at | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
plans to use the building. Today's report says high streets are | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
showing great capacity for reinvention. | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
It's the biggest gambling wdekend of the year, with the British public | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
expected to wager more than ?20 million on the Grand Nation`l. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Advertising gambling on TV comes under the spotlight in this week's | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Sunday Politics at 11am on BBC One. Should it only be allowed after the | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
watershed? Well, one thing's for sure, a lot of | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
money will be changing hands at Aintree over the next few d`ys. But | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
today the focus was on the fashion because of course it was Ladies Day. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
And you were there. It was a first for me. | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
A vision in tangerine. Now, tomorrow may be the Gr`nd | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
National but it's not the only big prize of the festival. The lain | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
event today ` who would win Best Dressed Lady? | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Did you? I may have done! I met up whth one | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
of the judges, top fashion blogger Prince Cassius and went out with him | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
to see who he thought was the frontrunner. | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
This is Aintree. What do yot think? I love it. Beautiful. I'm so | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
excited. I'm looking for soleone who has put it out there and looks | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
effortless but I'm looking for that va`va voom. I'm looking for people | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
who take it to the next levdl. The golden rules are having a nhce | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
beautiful dress. Don't forgdt accessories, I can't emphashse | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
enough the need accessories. You need a hat, jewellery, nice shoes, | :12:47. | :13:01. | |
just feel comfortable. Look at you all the gland up. Can I stop you for | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
a second? This is so vintagd. I love it. Look at you. | :13:06. | :13:30. | |
You look really ravishing. Thank you so much for today and all | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
your insight into the fashion. You stand out the most but if I may say, | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
one little thing missing. M`y I You may indeed. I've got my hat was | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
bigger than that. His hair was bigger than th`t. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
He was a great character. Thank you very much, Prince. | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
While you were doing that, H was putting my best foot forward for a | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
great cause. I was running for one of the police officers, Nicola | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Hughes, who was killed recently weight in that race. | :14:12. | :14:28. | |
Not going to win any prizes for that RU? | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
We saw him yesterday at Aintree He looks rather fetching. I don't know | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
what he will be doing today. No headgear tonight? | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
I didn't want to outshine your fascinator. People have been giving | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
me all sorts of sex. Tomorrow's Grand National will be watched by | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
millions across the world. There are 40 horses each with a uniqud story | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
but none more so than Mr Moonshine. Jim Beaumont has been coming to the | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
National since he was a small boy but never before as an owner. | :15:17. | :15:30. | |
It was a fairy story really. I watched it for years. I can remember | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
my grandfather talking about different horses. | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
Jim was born and brought up in Liverpool and did lots of dhfferent | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
jobs to make ends meet, including bellboy and chef at the famous | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
Adelphi Hotel. What were yot saying to people when you were working in | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
the hotel `` what would you say if people said you would be a Grand | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
National winning owner? I wouldn't have believed it. | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
This year's hopes rest largdly on the broad shoulders of Mr Moonshine. | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
Another horse trained by thd renowned Harvey and Sue Smith. | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
He seems to really enjoy thhs track and jumps the fences well. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
Why mess with a winning teal? Man on board was last year's victorious | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
jockey. I still get a bit of stick for it. I | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
never have the answer, it is just a lot of luck. | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
Good fortune or not, if he does it again, they will be Colin the owner | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Lucky Jim. We will get you the inside track on | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
the race in a moment. In the Premier League, Everton | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
manager Roberto Martinez has played down their crucial match ag`inst | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Arsenal on Sunday which could eventually determine if thex qualify | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
for the Champions League for only the second time in their history. | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
The Blues are enjoying their best season to date having taken a record | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
60 points from 31 matches to put them within touching distance of the | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
top four. Victory over fourth`placed Arsenal would take them to within a | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
point of the Gunners with a match in hand. Martinez says win or lose they | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
will not give up until the very last match of the season. | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
I'm delighted because we ard inside the top four place which is | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
remarkable. 21 points to fight for is a huge amount. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
In cricket, Lancashire coach Peter Moores has admitted he made mistakes | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
when he was England's coach but would do things differently if he | :17:59. | :18:11. | |
got the job again. He was s`cked in 2009. That was due to differences | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
with several senior players. I have been there before and enjoyed | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
it and learned quite a bit. Things that worked on things you could have | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
done better. To try and put some of that experience back in Whidbey and | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
exciting challenge for me. Hf that chance comes along, I don't know, we | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
will just have to wait and see. Let us speak to Richard Pitlan. | :18:40. | :18:51. | |
I love talking about the National, it gets me alive. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
What do you make of Mr Moonshine's chances? | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
They are good but only good. There are lots of horses with excdllent | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
chances. A year ago Mr Moonshine ran in the race and build`up. Hhs wins | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
have been over 2.5 miles so 4.5 miles is a different thing. | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
What is your main tech? I am a big fan of Long Run. I am | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
really strong on him. I havd been backing him for two months. | :19:38. | :19:52. | |
What about T4 three? I tried to buy a share in it and I | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
nearly got there before thex decided to keep it amongst themselvds. Big | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
chance for him but another outsider is All Add Up. | :20:06. | :20:15. | |
Do enjoy the big race tomorrow. We've had a great the cure for | :20:16. | :20:25. | |
Ladies Day. People who watched last night, and | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
we loved your hair. | :20:29. | :20:41. | |
Separated at birth. I've seen that picture and ht is too | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
true. It is too good. This isn't Richard's here that his | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
popped up. Now, we've been joined in the studio by some wildlife. The | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
peacock and the rabbit might look like works of art but they're also | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
cakes. They're part of a huge display that's the centrepidce for | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
the Cake and Bake Show in M`nchester this weekend. In a moment, we'll be | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
speaking to some of the taldnted ladies from the North West who've | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
created that display but first Naomi Cornwell's been getting a t`ste of | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
the show. Never has baking been so wild. From | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
fountains of sugar syrup to smoking shisha pipes. Welcome to thd Jungle. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
The centrepiece of Manchestdr's Cake and Bake Show has surprised even the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
experts. Everything is edible. Does ht taste | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
nice? Yes, it does! | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
Hungry? You're in the right place. There's a cake for those th`t could | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
eat an elephant. And everyone's talking about the latest trdnds | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Handbags and shoes and things like that made of cake. | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
The funky flavours. I like funky flavours. | :21:59. | :22:11. | |
The ranks, apparently. `` meringues. | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
I'm bored of cupcakes. You can find more old`fashioned cakes. Some with | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
vegetables in them. Baking's been fashionable for | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
several years now, but here you can even wear the creations. And if | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
you'd rather watch others do the hard work, there are plenty of | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
celebrities on hand to demonstrate how it's done. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
Things do go wrong sometimes. Sometimes she dropped the door on | :22:40. | :22:52. | |
the floor `` dough. It was once dismissed as thd latest | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
foodie fad but the region's businesses are still tasting the | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
sweet success that the boom in baking has brought them. | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
As we said, the creators of these fantastic cakes are with us, Rose | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
and Francesca. How long does it take to create something like thhs? | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
The whole installation took six months. Some of the key pieces took | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
two weeks on their own. Who needs them? | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
We will. We brought some | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
edible. You were at the British Armx's first | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
combat Army helicopter pilot. The sugar Rush was better than the | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
adrenaline rush, was it? Different. I left the army to have a | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
family so I have done that `nd doing flying helicopters in an attack role | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
was not really conducive to raising a family so I turned to this. | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
How long would that take to make? That took a couple of days. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
I'm not surprised. The detahl is astonishing. Everyone thinks they | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
can break these days. You are professional. It is usually popular | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
now that smacked hugely poptlar now. Why is that? | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
People are getting more and more creative because it has to look good | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
as well as taste good. I went into the auction business for a number of | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
years and then had a family and wanted to do something creative | :24:51. | :25:02. | |
This is edible, we should s`y, all of it. Can I have a | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
It is like that television programme on the other side. | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
As the great British break of been a huge uplift? | :25:16. | :25:28. | |
It started people off but they have gone aspirational now. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
Thank you both very much indeed And you can eat the peacock's fdathers. | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
Onto the weather now. It is a big sporting weekend. | :25:41. | :25:53. | |
Lancashire have got their fhrst match on Sunday and the weather will | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
not play along. We have weather front after weather front. Ht is | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
going to be fairly wet from time to time. Today, brighter skies tried to | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
work their way through but weren't that successful. It has been a | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
reasonable afternoon though. The cloud cover builds as the nhght goes | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
on tonight. And in the earlx hours of the morning we have got the first | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
weather system. The air is lild You wake up with this weather still | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
around and there is everywhere but don't be fooled | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
because it is not too long before the next wave comes. Heavy bursts, | :26:44. | :26:53. | |
especially for parts of Cumbria The Isle of Man doesn't fare much better | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
either. If you do get a bre`k in the clouds, it will be relatively mild. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
On Sunday, there is a cold front with a narrower band of weather It | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
moves through quicker but hhs more rain. You may get brighter skies | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
behind it on Sunday afternoon. That is not a promise. | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
Would you like a bit of licorice betel? `` beetle. | :27:28. | :27:38. | |
We are going to leave you whth a shot of Aintree on the eve of the | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Grand National. Have a great weekend. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:44. |
