Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
A murderer ` who escaped while on day release | :00:11. | :00:22. | |
Questions are now being asked about day release programmes | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
after Arnold Pickering absconded for the third time. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Not milking the farmers ` why one supermarket is taking | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
And Stockport's Sinatra launches his first album just months | :00:35. | :00:48. | |
after being rescued after rejection on TV's The Voice. | :00:49. | :01:03. | |
The Government says it'll be tightening the rules on day release | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
prisoners after two went on the run from Merseyside at the weekend. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The pair included convicted killer Arnold Pickering who'd | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
The local MP says it's shocking that Pickering was ever considered | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
The fugitives are both now back inside | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
but the controversy surrounding their escape goes on as our Chief | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Arnold Pickering was jailed 23 years ago for stabbing a man to death in | :01:26. | :01:39. | |
Oldham. He had been serving the final stage of his sentence at a low | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
security prison. On Saturday, he and another inmate were allowed out on | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
day release but they didn't come back. A police search followed. One | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
of them was tracked down last night. He's a man with previous | :01:56. | :02:10. | |
for absconding. He did it in the 90s while | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
on remand. And he did it in 2009 while | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
on day release. The fact he's done it again | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
has outraged the MP who's patch There is no question needs two are | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
linked. It is a direct result of these cuts. Weeks ago another man | :02:29. | :02:41. | |
absconded from a jail in Kent. I don't want to see people who have | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
absconded back into is back behind bars after his two | :02:46. | :03:11. | |
days of being unlawfully at large. Why he did it and how the system | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
came to allow him to do it, those are questions that are yet | :03:17. | :03:28. | |
unanswered. Earlier I spoke to Peter McParland and asked him for his | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
reaction to the escape. compared to what we were in 2010. | :03:32. | :04:52. | |
Indeed, the overall figure is almost a thousand if you include admin and | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
other staff. Ideally, what with the prison association like to see done? | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
We welcome the responsibility to be back on prison staff to make these | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
important prisons `` decisions with regard to the public. We want to see | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
the government accepting the role of the estate which is to protect the | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
public. Thank you. Now to Manchester United and after | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
weeks of speculation , we finally We now know the name | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
of the man chosen to replace Louis van Gaal will take over | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
after the World Cup. Richard Askam is at Old Trafford | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
for us. We do now `` we do now know that | :05:42. | :06:00. | |
Louis van Harle has been chosen to succeed David Moyes. `` Louis Van | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Gaal. He will take charge after leaving the Netherlands after the | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
World Cup. He has chosen Ryan Giggs as his assistant. We were not sure | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
who he was going to be. Ryan Giggs has announced that he is retiring | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
and is hanging up his boots. Sticking with Louis Van Gaal come he | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
has a reputation as a winner and a tough task manager, hasn't he? | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
He is not short on confidence and he does have a long list of successes | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
and has promised to make history. He has managed at some of the biggest | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
clubs in the world. He has won titles just about everywhere he has | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
been. In Germany, Spain and Holland. He has always `` also won the | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Champions League. He has a reputation as Hardman and one man | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
who knows him well is a former Liverpool striker and says there is | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
much more to him than just an iron fist. He is a very good coach but he | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
is also a special person and if you are in his heart, you will never go | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
out of there. He is a winner. David Moyes was popular when he was | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
appointed after Sir Alex Ferguson. Is Louis van Harle likely to be a | :07:29. | :07:42. | |
popular replacement? He has signed a three`year contract. `` Louis Van | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Gaal. Plenty would look at the contract and see that he is a good | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
fit. Whoever we will get will have to be a big name and Louis Van Gaal | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
is a big name and hopefully he can produce the goods. I am really | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
pleased. He has had a good history in the past. I am very pleased. I | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
think he will do a good job. He has a good history and just what we | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
need. He could do a good job for us. Is for Ryan Giggs, he looked | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
like a manager in waiting and one `` many wanted him to get the job | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
permanently. He will be the assistant to Louis Van Gaal and has | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
drawn an end to his illustrious career on the pitch. We will be | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
talking more about him later. Back to you. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
The shale gas company, Cuadrilla is to seek planning | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
permission to explore for gas at two sites in Lancashire. | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
The company wants to test drill at Roseacre Wood near Elswick and | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
The applications will be considered by Lancashire County Council | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Four people have been arrested in the North West as part of | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Two men from Liverpool, one man from Manchester | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
and another from Warrington were among more than 80 people detained | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
The operation targetted users of software which can remotely | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Police are continuing to search a house in Rochdale | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Homes and businesses around Oldham Road were evacuated | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
and Metrolink service suspended this morning after the package | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Bentley is taking on over 140 new staff at its factory in Crewe. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
The luxury car maker says 50 of those will be apprentice engineers. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
It follows the company's best ever year making | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Emma is brain damaged, she can't see properly, she can't hear. | :09:40. | :09:53. | |
All of this damage was caused to Emma in the womb | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Emma was awarded ?500,000 at Christmas from the Criminal | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
And today her adoptive mother agreed to speak to us advance | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
of a test case, a case which she hopes could see | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
many more victims of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome receive the same help. | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
We have changed the names of those involved in this report. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Jenny has agreed to speak to me about her adopted daughter Emma. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
'The last 2 years of Emma's life have been hell | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
for everybody including her. She's very unwell. | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
We're just trying to get a diagnosis of dementia. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Our geneticist thinks it's all linked to the | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. Emma's problems were caused here | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
in the womb. Brain damage, missing joints, | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
fused bones. She's partially sighted and deaf. | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Her birth mother was an alcoholic. A court decided a crime had been | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
committed and on Christmas Eve, Emma was awarded ?500,000. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
We're not talking a glass of wine every night. | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
She was an alcoholic. And at every stage | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
of pregnancy it destroyed something , from her brain to her eyes to her | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
ears to her nails. How can that not be a crime? | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
She asks that question for a reason. Since they started their case, | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
12 years ago, the law has changed. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is no longer | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
considered a crime of violence. But could a test case, here in the | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
North West be about to change that? The case involves | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
a six`year`old girl. Initially a tribunal agreed she | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
should receive compensation. But that decision was overturned | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
on the basis of new guidance. A crime wasn't committed | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
because when her mother drank ` legally, as an embryo, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
the girl was not yet a person. The case is going to appeal. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
It will challenge what many see as an unfair change in the law. | :11:37. | :11:53. | |
The government disagrees. The outcome will be significant with | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
7,000 new cases of Foetal Alcohol I can't understand why one day it's | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
a crime ` the next day it isn't. It's not right. | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
The test case goes to court this Autumn. | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Still to come: The farmer who owns these cows in Lancashire says he is | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
finally getting a fair price for his milk and he will be telling us what | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
a different man makes. Stockport's Sinatra launches his first album | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
months after being rejected from rejection. Elated is the world. I am | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
up in the stratosphere. Today is the day I have been waiting for a long | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
time. Now, the Green Party is one | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
of those standing in the European They're hoping to get their first | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
north west MEP ` last time they were Well, there are plenty | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
of environmental issues in this part Regular viewers will know we've | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
been interviewing all the party Earlier I spoke to the Green Party | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
leader Natalie Bennett and I asked her what her main | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
targets were this time. I am looking to increase our two | :13:11. | :13:23. | |
MEPs and I am confident we can do that in the north`west. In terms of | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the council elections, we want to grow by 10% and we will rebuild in | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
London but also see Liverpool as an area of strength. In terms of the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
European elections, you did come quite close to stop Nick Griffin bit | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
`` beat you to the post. At the BNP party has drifted away now but the | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Green Party has risen according to the polls. Maybe you are perhaps | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
going against the wind of public opinion. We are seeing more and more | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
people saying they hate everything UKIP stands for and they know the | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
Green Party is the only one standing up to UKIP on immigration and | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
climate change. There is a lot of people that find them horrifying. | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
Voters are coming to us. Labour voters are horrified that Labour is | :14:21. | :14:32. | |
so wishy`washy. With the Tories come here in the north`west, I have | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
spoken to a lot of Tories who are voting for us on fracking. Fracking | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
is a big issue here. You are undoubtedly vehemently against it. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
Could it be part of a mixed energy economy? We have the fact that we | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
have to live 55 `` 50% of our fossil fuels in the ground if we are to | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
avoid catastrophic climate change. We have to work out what we know is | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
already there in the ground. Renewables don't produce anywhere | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
near enough energy to keep our lights on. The reason for that is | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
the government has failed to provide the investment in this environment. | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
Germany had 73% of its electricity being supplied by renewables. One of | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
the other great things about Germany is 50% of them are community owned. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
They can put their money into investment opportunities and get the | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
money back into the community. Would we then have to have a wind farm on | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
every hillside to get anywhere near that? One of the exciting | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
developments is tidal energy. We have five tidal lagoons in Swansea | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Bay and five of those built over ten years could provide 10% of our | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
energy needs. We need a mix. Thank you. Polling day is on Thursday and | :16:01. | :16:12. | |
there are 11 parties standing in the north`west. There is a full list on | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
your screen now. We have heard a lot about | :16:15. | :16:26. | |
supermarket wars over the price of work and it is an issue that we | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
touch on with regularity on the programme. Many announced they were | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
cutting the cost of four points to ?1. One week to that one retailer | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
says it is concentrating on the farm is instead. One company says it will | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
pay a higher price for its milk than any other supermarket. They say they | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
will receive a fair deal. We have been to see one farmer and how it | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
will affect him. Claire and Richard know the names of | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
every watt single one of their cows. They call themselves traditional | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
farmers but making a living hasn't always been easy. A new contract | :17:06. | :17:21. | |
with with Booths is helping them. We can make decisions on the farm more | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
for the cow welfare rather than looking it as a cash flow issue. Big | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
retailers charged less for their milk. Booths says it can't compete | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
and it is telling its customers that their supplies on local and they | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
will receive a fair price for their produce. People are conscious | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
consumers. They want to know where the produce is coming from and that | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
the people producing their product can sustain their businesses. The | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
NFU says producers will struggle to get good prices for their farms but | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
welcome the news. It is only four farmers but hopefully it will expand | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
and other retailers will look at this and copy the model. Booths are | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
currently paying 1p more than the next buyer and they say the price | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
won't be passed onto their customers. Dairy farmers "give a | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
boost the industry. The appointment of Louis Van Gaal | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
as Manchester United's new manager isn't the only news out of | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Old Trafford today. With more let's go back to | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
the stadium and join Richard Askam. It is the end of an era for one of | :18:37. | :18:49. | |
the players there. Ryan Giggs has finally decided to hang his boots up | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
as a player and he will be the assistant manager to Louis Van Gaal | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
as well. Andy Ritchie joins me. A good day today. Ryan Giggs, he | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
looked like a manager towards the end of the season. What about Louis | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
Van Gaal choosing him as his assistant. It is a classic move. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
With him having to sort out the World Cup with the Dutch team, he | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
needs somebody here that knows the club inside out. There's nobody | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
better than Ryan Giggs for that. He knows all the young and old players. | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
He will have his opinions on them as well and Louis Van Gaal will have to | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
rely on that because he has got to have one eye on what he is doing on | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
the Dutch national side. What about Ryan Giggs as a player? More than 30 | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
trophies that he won here. Where does he stand in the all`time list | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
of great players here? He has got to be virtually on the top. Top of the | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
mountain. 34 trophies, 963 games for the same club. That is amazing. Over | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
1000 appearances in his career. The superlatives don't make it any more. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
There is so many that you could say about him. The dedication to his | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
profession. He is a role model, he has been fantastic for how many | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
seasons for Manchester United. I was disappointed he didn't get that goal | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
in their last game against Southampton. Thank you very much. We | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
will see how Ryan Giggs and Louis Van Gaal do. | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
St Helens missed the chance to return to the top | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
of Super League yesterday and it was Warrington who denied | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
them the chance in the final game of a record breaking Magic Weekend. | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
Joel Monaghan scored two of eight tries scored by The Wolves | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Just under 65,000 fans attended over the two days at the Etihad Stadium, | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
And you can see action from all seven matches at Magic weekend | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Louis Van Gaal will take over after he has finished his duties at the | :21:00. | :21:17. | |
World Cup. I wouldn't go betting that one or two United fans will be | :21:18. | :21:32. | |
waiting. Bob Blakely was working in a Stockport warehouse and telling | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
his colleagues with the odd song and singing in the shower. He went on to | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
The Voice and didn't get fixed `` picked and it looked like his dream | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
had been dashed. Then he came and sat on this server. | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
There was a visit to BBC breakfast and an offer of a recording | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
contract. His debut album has been released tonight. We joined him in a | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Manchester music shop. His performance impressed us but the | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
judges couldn't bring themselves to press that buzzer. The show is about | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
people like Bob. He shouldn't have gone home. Then came the record | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
deal. I would like to help you sustain the chance and not have it | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
drop like it was going to. Thank you. Thank you very much. That means | :22:34. | :22:51. | |
so much. Today he was there for the launch of his debut album. Today is | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the day I have been waiting for a long time. It is the realisation of | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
a dream today. It was recorded with a live studio. There are cover | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
versions of a few other hits. People will have seen how powerful | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
his voice can be but what they won't have heard is how tender and | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
wonderful he can be and how expressive with both modern songs he | :23:21. | :23:35. | |
can be. Here is a taster of what to expect. | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
He can sing. I am so pleased for him. It is such a lovely day today | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
so we have sent Diane out. 'We need to put this issue | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
to bed now, 'and not leave it | :23:55. | :26:02. | |
for another generation.' I want a Britain that is free | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
to control its own destiny. 'another three million people | :26:05. | :26:22. | |
in Britain by 2020. 'Our public services | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
are already stretched. 'The pressure on schools, housing, | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
hospitals in huge.' While we stay in the EU, we cannot | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
control who comes into our county. | :26:33. | :26:37. |
