Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
Roger Johnson. Our top story. A police force under scrutiny after it | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
fails to uphold a single complaint from the public. Greater Manchester | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Police says it's already reviewing its procedures. Also tonight. This | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
is the International Festival of business but which things will it | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
deliver? Simply the best. Manchester United opens a new exhibition to | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
showcase the skills of a boy called George. And best foot forward, find | :00:44. | :00:55. | |
out why these summer stroller is bring 400 years of history with | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
them. Greater Manchester Police has been | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
criticised for the way it investigates discrimination | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
complaints made against its officers. The Police watchdog | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
discovered that the force didn't uphold a single complaint of those | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
it received from the general public. GMP says it's already addressing the | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
issue as our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, explains. We rely on the | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
police to protect us. But, according to the Independent Police Complaints | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Commission, we can't always rely Greater Manchester Police to respond | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
properly if we complain about the conduct of their officers. I think | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
it is discrimination and not tackled well enough. The IPCC investigated | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
the way in which allegations of discrimination were handled by GMP | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
and two other forces. They examined 170 complaints of discrimination | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
made against GMP, West Yorkshire and West Midlands Police. Those | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
complaints were of alleged discrimination related to race, | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
sexual orientation, disability and faith. Just over 90 were | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
investigated and not one was upheld. The IPCC found eight out of ten | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
cases were not properly assessed. And in two out of three cases, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
decisions were not properly communicated. To find out none of | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
these discrimination complaints have been upheld is a surprise. The way | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
complaints need to be looked at by police forces does need to improve. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
We were really surprised there was that kind of indifference to race | :02:38. | :02:54. | |
issues. GMP insists it is better at dealing with complaints made by its | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
own colleagues. On the streets it is often the word of the complainant | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
against the word of a police officer. The police say the wider | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
use of body cameras will help change that. PC Andy Moore's been using his | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
for the past year. There can be no dispute about who said what. | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
Absolutely. I just flick a switch. And GMP insists it's determined to | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
ensure better handling of complaints in the future. The death of a | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
four`year`old boy in a fire in Liverpool, believed to have been | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
started by his mother, is to be subject to a serious case review. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Moksha Jai Joshi, known as Jai and his mum 40`year`old Jamna Joshi, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
died in the blaze at Moscow Drive, on the 8th of May. Lancashire | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Safeguarding Children Board said it would review the role of agencies | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
involved in the case. The Hillsborough Inquests have heard how | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
a Liverpool fan may have been jumping on a crush barrier at the | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Leppings Lane end of the stadium before it collapsed in the crush. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Structural engineer John Strange, giving evidence for a third day, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
referred to the claim as he was questioned by the QC representing | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
three of the match commanders. Lord McNally of Blackpool has called for | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
urgent action to improve the resort where he grew up. He told the House | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
of Lords that the area needs investment in tourism and to make | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
the most of new opportunties created by fracking. The Life Peer is | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
calling on the Cities Minister to appoint a figurehead to promote | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Blackpool as Michael Heseltine did with Liverpool in the 1990s. What I | :04:27. | :04:42. | |
would like to do just now is make a Heseltine and eight back pool | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
feature. Even better dispatch in there to get things moving. The NHS | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
has announced plans to create what are being described as Super | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
Hospitals, across Greater Manchester. They would be five | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
specialist Accident and Emergency units designed to take pressure of | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
other hospitals in the region. But critics say it will cost too much | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
and might eventually lead to existing hospitals having to close. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
Well, our reporter Elaine Dunkley is outside the Manchester Royal | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Infirmary for us now. Elaine. On one side this is about the effectiveness | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
and efficiency of our hospitals. In the other hand this isn't about | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
making changes to the NHS over 60 years. `` this is about. Out of four | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
hospitals they want to create two super hospitals with specialist | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
casualty units. What with this mean for certain hospitals? For North | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Manchester, Fairfield and team side it will be business as usual. They | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
would see you there in exactly the same way with a minor incident but | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
with a major trauma such as a heart attack you would be sent to one of | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
the major hospitals. This is so do get the best care but a local MP has | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
raised concerns. The end result will be to close some of our hospitals. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
You are twice as likely to die in some hospitals as others. Those who | :06:23. | :06:37. | |
have come up with these proposals say it could save thousands of lives | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
over the next five years. At our local General Hospital standards | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
will be raised. We will have local keyer there which will be Sistine. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
And for specialist care, that will be available, the outcome of their | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
surgery or that clinical episode, that would be better. These | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
proposals are expected to be improved over the next few weeks. It | :07:10. | :07:21. | |
goes to a public consultation. Liverpool is just days away from | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
hosting the International Festival for Business. It has the bold | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
ambition of boosting exports, helping to re`balance the UK economy | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
and attracting 75,000 delegates, a quarter of a million visitors. But, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
just days away, only 6,000 delegates have so far registered. Will the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
festival deliver all it hopes to? Here's Jayne McCubbin. The | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
International Festival for Business is days away. Outside the waterfront | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
nerve centre a Great British product. Inside, all the help | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
business needs to export more Great British products. It is an | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
opportunity for businesses to work with each other, to talk with each | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
other deals. But with days to go, only six of a promised 75,000 | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
delegates have signed up. Most of them regional. But don't go doubting | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Big Joe. CNN and these global companies are not sponsored up | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
because they think it will just be a dream for Scousers. Journalists The | :08:18. | :08:29. | |
journalists were here today to spread the word. At least ?5m of | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
public money is helping to pay for it. But UK Trade and Industry | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
expects results. This is where the UKTI will host some of their key | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
events, each week a different theme to boost exports in different | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
sectors and areas. The first week, the rooms over there. They are the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
deal doing rooms. IFB reckon they have information on ?1.7 billion | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
worth of overseas deals in here they can provide one to one expert advice | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
from experts on how to clinch those deals. You are a photographer, what | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
do you want to get out of this? To get some contacts. We argue to | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
promote our Aqua pressure massage to the delegates. But delegates here | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
today were looking closer to home for those deals. IFB believe the | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
local economy could benefit by ?100million. But the hope is much | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
more is made overseas. The big launch is Monday. | :09:32. | :11:18. | |
just went, you know? Hello lads had been killed. `` feel lads. `` | :11:19. | :11:35. | |
fellow. Today, the scene of a commemoration for the soldiers who | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
died securing this bridge. Our troops had Caughey on but they were | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Germans. As we started firing on them the public chased me. Prince | :11:53. | :12:07. | |
Charles paid his respects watched by this man from Cheshire who was | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
aboard a ship as it pummelled effective positions. I feel very | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
privileged that I witnessed most of that day from a vantage point. It | :12:22. | :12:34. | |
was an exciting time. In a way I am a bit embarrassed. It was our job to | :12:35. | :12:47. | |
do what we did. Tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of the landings and | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
veterans like these from the north`west will be parading in front | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
of world leaders tomorrow afternoon. Now, it's a shocking fact that in | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
this region, right now, there are around 1200 children looking for a | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
foster home. More than anywhere else in the country. This evening at the | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Etihad Stadium, Manchester City Council is holding a special event | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
to try to recruit more carers. Well, one young woman who knows all about | :13:13. | :13:24. | |
the subject is Mary`May Moakes. She's 18 now but she was just | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
eight`years`old when she arrived in the home of Julia and Paul Edwards. | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
All three came in to see us this afternoon. It is hard to measure but | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
we have got a great deal of satisfaction from seeing these young | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
children come quite nervous with no self`confidence, growing into really | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
wonderful young people with a lot of self`confidence, who have done | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
exceptionally well at school, are going on into university education | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
and have developed themselves sold. There is a perception from some | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
quarters that children coming into fostering our troubled in some way. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
We have had no trouble with the three we have had. How did it feel | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
when you went to them? When I first came I was nervous and would not | :14:28. | :14:39. | |
really talk. You had your big brother to look after you, didn't | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
you? He did look after me and I was all right. From being very low until | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
now. A lot of people say I do not want to foster because I am going to | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
get too attached to those children and they will get taken away from | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
me. If you do short fostering you will grow some attachment but you | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
know all the time you are preparing those children either to go back to | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
their birth family or move on into long`term fostering or adoption. You | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
are doing a job that is so worthwhile to give them safety, | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
security and the beginning of the boundaries. This is what life can be | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
like and it will only get better. What do you say to people who say | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
you do it for the money. That is not why we do it. We get so much more | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
out of it. We have taken them to squash and swimming. We get so much | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
out of seeing them become confident and self`assured, they have been a | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
credit to us basically. What do you say to those out there just now | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
thinking they are not sure. It has definitely given me a second chance | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
to do things I never thought I would be able to do like go on holiday, | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
actually think of going to university and not just feel like I | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
am not going to achieve anything. Thank you all for coming in. Well, | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
tonight's meeting finishes at eight but if you want to know more you can | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
ring the council's fostering line on 0800 988 8931 or go to the website | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
www.fosterformanchester.com Richard's here with the sport, and | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
we were hoping he'd make it but Andrew Flintoff won't be playing in | :16:47. | :17:10. | |
Lancashire's T20 match tomorrow? No, he isn't quite ready. Freddie | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
continued his comeback today for Lancashire's second eleven in their | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Twenty20 defeat against Leicestershire. He scored 16 with | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
the bat and took 2`39 with the ball. But the club have decided it wasn't | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
quite enough. So, not bad and another big name is back with Lancs. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
Jos Buttler hasn't been selected for England's Test against Sri Lanka | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
next week. But it means Buttler will be available for tomorrow's Roses | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
clash. Today, he's been in Lancashire at Kirkham and Wesham | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
Cricket Club as part of the Chance To Shine project aimed at | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
encouraging youngsters to play the sport and says it'll be great to | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
have Freddie back. I think it is great. The legend of the game widely | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
received really well by the public. It is nice to have a kilo. He is | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
only 36 still. Football. Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle to | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
sign Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen. The Germany Under`21 midfielder has | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
a ?10 million release clause in his contract, and Liverpool have met | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
that figure. Can, who can also play in defence, joined Leverkusen from | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Bayern Munich last summer in a deal worth ?4 million. The quarter finals | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
of Rugby League's Challenge Cup begin tonight. Widnes take on | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Keighley, who are a division below them and the lowest`ranked club left | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
in the competition. Tomorrow, the Championship's leaders Leigh travel | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
to Superleague heavyweights Leeds. Wigan and Warrington are both in | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
action at the weekend. Good`looking, talented, bags of charisma. Not | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
Roger, funnily enough, but George Best, probably the greatest player | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
to pull on a Manchester United shirt. It's 40 years since he left | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
Old Trafford, and the club is celebrating his memory with a new | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
exhibition which opens tomorrow. Stuart Flinders has been at the | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
Manchester United museum to take a look. Lots of marvellous exhibits | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
here but take a look at this one. George Best scored six goals in a | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
single game against Northampton Town, this is the ball. Lots of | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
other shirts there to see. This is the assistant curator of the | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
exhibition. What is this all about? The main thing is to celebrate | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
George 's career off and on the football pitch. We have memorabilia | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
related to his businesses. This is off of the pitch? Loads of products | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
he endorsed himself. That is the main focus. What was it about George | :20:11. | :20:23. | |
Best that made him so special? You'd have to be around 50 to have seen | :20:24. | :20:35. | |
George Best play for United, but mention his name to supporters of a | :20:36. | :20:43. | |
certain age, and they're likely to go misty`eyed as they recall one | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
football's greats. He was two footed, he could head the ball just | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
as well. They were playing on pictures that were not good today. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
He was skilful, quick, brave and cheeky. And women adored him. He had | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
lots of girlfriends. He was a good`looking man. He had bright blue | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
eyes, black year. He was very dark and suave. His drinking was | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
legendary. I remember watching him play against Manchester City one | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
week. We went to the bar afterwards and he was in there before us. But | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
his later years were dogged by alcoholism. He was 59 when he died. | :21:29. | :21:40. | |
The problems I have had have been well documented but I think at the | :21:41. | :21:50. | |
end of the day people have got to remember the football, hopefully I | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
gave a lot of pleasure to a lot of April. Hopefully they will remember | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
the football. What was it like to be in the same team as hem? He was a | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
little bit special. He was a lovely lad as well. A lot of the stories | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
are exaggerated. When did you realise playing alongside him that | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
there was something special about him? I came down to watch him in a | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
youth match and I knew nothing about him but I thought I cannot believe | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
this. I went to the trainer and said what is this and he said we are | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
trying to keep him under wraps though nobody will know about him. | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
You only had to put him on the pitch and people would know about him! He | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
was the first celebrity footballer. He was a handsome lad which did not | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
help. He was a footballer with lots of people chasing after him. It had | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
never happened in football before. Fond memories. The exhibition opens | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
tomorrow. Now, you might remember we mentioned The Isle of Man's | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
involvement in the Conifa World Cup for nations not recognised by Fifa. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Well, Ellan Vannin, that's the Manx name, are through to the semi`finals | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
after a dramatic penalty shoot`out against Kurdistan. It finished 1`1 | :23:32. | :23:57. | |
in normal time. Now, we were talking about the D`Day celebrations now | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
let's go back to the Napoleonic war where women in the local town set up | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
an organisation for themselves. This is believed to be the only | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
organisation of its kind running. A day for glamour, posh frocks and | :24:24. | :24:36. | |
tradition. Long before the welfare state the ladies of Neston set up a | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
mutual society to support each other and they still pay out benefits | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
today. The society happened over 200 years ago with the Napoleonic Wars. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
They formed a society to help those less fortunate. The lead through the | :24:56. | :25:08. | |
town. `` the power lead through the town. I have sisters and cousins and | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
relatives from London and elsewhere who come all this week to celebrate | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
the day. This year the older ones are having very bright colours in | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
particular but the younger ones stay with pastels. We are doing lots of | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
here today. They all love their here. At the school they created one | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
thing and composed a special song about the history of Neston ladies | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
club. We are working with different people, trying to get them involved | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
with ladies Day and why it happens. It does try to make them understand | :26:08. | :26:19. | |
why the day is such an amazing day. The female society is confident | :26:20. | :26:29. | |
about its growing numbers and its future. Know`how is the weather | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
