Gail. `` Gill. `` girl. Ten years ago Kim Walmsley asked for a copy of

:01:05.:01:07.

her birth certifiacte. It was then that she discovered she had been

:01:08.:01:10.

registered as a boy in the registrar's book. I had been a

:01:11.:01:13.

prisoner for ten years. Another problem is after me we are not

:01:14.:01:18.

legally married anymore will stop we have been married for 22 years. A

:01:19.:01:24.

simple error perhaps, with life changing consequences for Kim. Kim

:01:25.:01:27.

and her family had been living in Australia at the time but had to

:01:28.:01:30.

come home because her passport was illegal. She has now spent ?150,000

:01:31.:01:34.

trying to sort out the problem but she has been told the entry cannot

:01:35.:01:38.

be changed. I am devastated to be honest. All joking aside, I am

:01:39.:01:43.

absolutely devastated. Kim says her only hope now is to ask the the

:01:44.:01:47.

Prime Minister David Cameron to help. But as the resistrar's book is

:01:48.:01:50.

a legal document she fears thr problem may never be ressolved.

:01:51.:02:00.

A review is under way at Ashworth high`security mental hospital on

:02:01.:02:03.

Merseyside after a patient who'd killed both his parents was found

:02:04.:02:06.

hanged. Mark Williams was serving life after stabbing to death his

:02:07.:02:09.

father John O'Hare and attacking his mother Dianne at their home in

:02:10.:02:13.

Wirral in 2002. His brother, Karl O'Hare, is still a suspect in the

:02:14.:02:19.

case. He jumped bail in 2003. A 33`year`old man has died after he

:02:20.:02:23.

was hit by a tram on the Metrolink line near Prestwich. Police, fire

:02:24.:02:26.

and ambulance officers went to the scene at 1.30pm this afternoon.

:02:27.:02:29.

Metrolink closed parts of the tram network as an investigation got

:02:30.:02:34.

under way. Plans to expand a hazardous waste

:02:35.:02:37.

site in Lancashire prompted a protest march by 500 people today.

:02:38.:02:40.

Campaigners were delighted so many people turned out to oppose more

:02:41.:02:44.

land being taken over by the Whitemoss Landfill site in

:02:45.:02:46.

Skelmersdale. The site's owners say it's tightly regulated and poses no

:02:47.:02:49.

threat to the community. But local residents don't accept those

:02:50.:02:51.

assurances. We've got football pitches where a

:02:52.:02:54.

thousand children play every Sunday and this is 100 metres away from the

:02:55.:02:57.

proposed extension. We don't want it. For it to extend anymore it will

:02:58.:03:02.

just damage our town, not just health wise in the long`term, but

:03:03.:03:05.

also it will damage the regeneration of the town.

:03:06.:03:13.

The Liverpool`born comedian John Bishop has donated ?96,000 to the

:03:14.:03:16.

Hillsborough Family Support Group. A Liverpool fan, he says he was deeply

:03:17.:03:20.

moved by the tributes paid to the victims at the new inquests. He

:03:21.:03:23.

believes the dignity with which the families have pursued their quest

:03:24.:03:27.

for the truth over the past 25 years is a lesson for everyone.

:03:28.:03:34.

Two women from the North West who've become the Royal Navy's first female

:03:35.:03:37.

submariners say they've been happily accepted by their male colleagues.

:03:38.:03:39.

Lieutenants Maxine Stiles from Tameside, and Alexandra Olsson from

:03:40.:03:42.

Wirral, are among three women who've sailed into the history books. As

:03:43.:03:45.

Nazia Mogra reports, they earned their "dolphins" after months of

:03:46.:03:51.

training. They join 165 male crew members on

:03:52.:03:55.

the nuclear powered submarine HMS Vigilant. And it's not the men, it's

:03:56.:04:02.

the women making history. I was just always fascinated about submarines

:04:03.:04:06.

and I always wanted to join in. And now I've been given the opportunity,

:04:07.:04:09.

and these submarines are more complicated than space shuttles, so

:04:10.:04:15.

it was definitely a challenge. Lieutenant Alexandra Olsson from

:04:16.:04:18.

Tranmere is a deputy weapons engineering officer. Lieutenant

:04:19.:04:22.

Thackery from Yorkshire is an education officer and Lieutenant

:04:23.:04:25.

Maxine Stiles from Ashton Under Lyne is logistics officer. Her job is to

:04:26.:04:32.

make sure all the important things are onboard. Making sure we have

:04:33.:04:36.

enough food to feed people, three meals a day over three months. That

:04:37.:04:40.

includes the naval tradition of fish and chips on a Friday, steak on a

:04:41.:04:45.

Staurday. For years, females were unable to serve on submarines

:04:46.:04:49.

because of possible health risks. The ban was lifted in 2011. I'm sure

:04:50.:04:55.

it will be a big success because we all do our jobs, and as long as you

:04:56.:04:59.

can do your job on board everybody will be happy for you to be there.

:05:00.:05:03.

All three now look forward to more and more women getting on board.

:05:04.:05:12.

Football, and Liverpool need to score as many goals as possible at

:05:13.:05:15.

Crystal Palace tonight if they're to put pressure on title favourites

:05:16.:05:18.

Manchester City. Liverpool's goal difference is nine goals worse than

:05:19.:05:21.

City's. So Liverpool fans would love a repeat of the famous 9`0 thrashing

:05:22.:05:25.

they gave Palace in 1989. A victory would put Brendan Rogers' side three

:05:26.:05:28.

points ahead of Manuel Pelligrini's team, but his side have two games in

:05:29.:05:40.

hand. Cricket now, and on Day Two of the

:05:41.:05:43.

County Championship match at Old Trafford, in reply to Sussex first

:05:44.:05:46.

innings total of 298 Lancashire finished the day on 157`6. Time for

the weather now. finished the day on 157`6. Time for

:05:49.:05:54.

Unusually for a bank holiday weekend we hardly saw any rain over the last

:05:55.:05:59.

few days but as you'll soon see will change. The week is not looking too

:06:00.:06:07.

bad. We're like the disease in the showers but I do have to tell you

:06:08.:06:11.

there should be some good spells of sunshine as well in between the

:06:12.:06:16.

showers. For this evening all the sunshine disappearing very quickly,

:06:17.:06:21.

plenty of cloud around bringing this band of rain through. Hopefully this

:06:22.:06:25.

rain will sweep away towards the Pennines, leaving you with dry

:06:26.:06:31.

conditions by Dawn, but plenty of cloud means we will keep the

:06:32.:06:35.

temperatures in double figures. Tomorrow is not looking too bad.

:06:36.:06:47.

Bright and be `` breezy, with highs of 15 degrees for tomorrow. The

:06:48.:06:51.

temperatures fall away the next couple of days. We are back later

:06:52.:06:55.

tonight. Bye for now. The sunshine today for the bank

:06:56.:07:12.

holiday produced the highest temperature of the long weekend in

:07:13.:07:16.

eastern England today, at 20 Celsius. But to the west, the cloud

:07:17.:07:20.

has been gathering. We have seen a bit of rain in Northern Ireland and

:07:21.:07:24.

western Scotland, but the thicker cloud now pushing into the

:07:25.:07:26.

south-west of England is delivering more rain. It will become more

:07:27.:07:34.

extensive over the next few hours. A ragged area of rainfall will move

:07:35.:07:37.

east as the night goes on. If you have yet to make your journey home

:07:38.:07:41.

from the bank holiday weekend, you may encounter sums are a. -- some

:07:42.:07:46.

spray. Temperatures are not too bad . The good news is that most of the

:07:47.:07:53.

rain has gone by the morning. Some may be lingering in the north-east

:07:54.:07:56.

of Scotland and into the
