Ten years ago sex offender Raymond Hawthorne was jailed

:01:02.:01:15.

after buying a 14`year`old boy and using him as a prostitute.

:01:16.:01:21.

Today he was again sent to prison for a similar offencd.

:01:22.:01:24.

Just months after being reldased in 2012, Hawthorne again lured an

:01:25.:01:27.

His re`offending has raised questions about whether

:01:28.:01:31.

his original sentence was too lenient, and whether he was properly

:01:32.:01:34.

Our reporter Peter Marshall is at Bolton Crown Court.

:01:35.:01:38.

Peter ` Hawthorne was first jailed in 2004, and there was anger

bought this 14`year`old boy from another man. We later heard that

this boy would play to commht suicide. At the original trhal in

of these veterans coming back You can see behind me, therd are

many coaches here on the mahn streets. The veterans are ldaving,

:09:03.:09:08.

and so, the 70th anniversarx commemorations have come to an end.

:09:09.:09:13.

The celebrations will continue for many hours yet, but for indhviduals

:09:14.:09:17.

and clubs, they are planning to come back next year. Mark Edwards on a

:09:18.:09:24.

poignant today in Normanby. As we said earlier the issud

:09:25.:09:27.

of respect for our veterans has been brought

:09:28.:09:30.

into focus by the destruction It was created to honour those who

:09:31.:09:33.

died in the First World War, People in the town were

:09:34.:09:38.

so horrified by what they'd done, today old and young came together

:09:39.:09:42.

to re`plant the poppies. It was to be

:09:43.:09:45.

a simple yet poignant gesture, planting thousands of poppids

:09:46.:09:47.

in memories of those who lost their Seeds went on sale in aid

:09:48.:09:50.

of military charities. The town of Morecambe prepared to

:09:51.:09:56.

turn itself red this August to mark the centenary of the outbre`k

:09:57.:09:59.

of the great War. So I came up with a figure

:10:00.:10:04.

of ?136,904.30. It equates to a penny

:10:05.:10:10.

for every soldier that was killed Happymount Park was to be to be

:10:11.:10:13.

a focal point. Thousands of seeds were scattered

:10:14.:10:25.

in this bed. The idea was that they would grow

:10:26.:10:27.

and reach full bloom as The poppies had reached this stage

:10:28.:10:30.

a couple of weeks back. But then something happened that is

:10:31.:10:35.

as bizarre as it is, well, Somebody went to the troubld of

:10:36.:10:38.

digging out every single patch of poppies that had started sprouting

:10:39.:10:43.

between all of these wallflowers. I was here in February

:10:44.:10:46.

when we actually planted thd seeds, We had all

:10:47.:10:50.

of the community involved. So today, the people of Mordcambe

:10:51.:10:57.

answered another call to arls. It is such a shame that a fdw

:10:58.:11:00.

people, whoever they are, h`ve I think it is poignant, bec`use it

:11:01.:11:06.

is the 70th anniversary of D`Day. I could not have wished

:11:07.:11:12.

for a better turnout than this. And so, perhaps, the dream

:11:13.:11:19.

of turning Morecambe red thhs Isn't that brilliant that they all

:11:20.:11:39.

came out to do that? The Gi`nts that will go through Liverpool to

:11:40.:11:46.

commemorate world for one whll go to France this weekend. Earlier today,

:11:47.:11:53.

details were released of thd route the Giants will take. The lhttle

:11:54.:11:58.

girl and her dog will take this route...

:11:59.:12:01.

We remember these pictures from a couple of years ago. It'll be great

:12:02.:12:11.

to have them back. There ard so many places we can go. We tried to take

:12:12.:12:18.

it through its view different areas. We'll take it out to the North end

:12:19.:12:25.

docs, and also the section by the cathedral. We are trying to take in

:12:26.:12:27.

little bits, but also the traditional areas.

:12:28.:12:32.

There's not enough of it and 60 of it is in the lowest band

:12:33.:12:37.

It means the wealthier Liverpudlians become, the more likely it hs

:12:38.:12:41.

they'll move out of the citx into places like Wirral and Sefton.

:12:42.:12:44.

So today ` the city announced a new de`l.

:12:45.:12:47.

One which will deliver 2,500 new or improved houses.

:12:48.:12:50.

It's not just a problem for people who want bigger and better.

:12:51.:13:01.

This is the kind of house people aspire to.

:13:02.:13:06.

It's a house that can gener`te a higher band of council tax.

:13:07.:13:12.

A house which would give more money to the cash`strapped council.

:13:13.:13:15.

So today ` the council announced a new deal.

:13:16.:13:18.

Redrow Homes Liverpool Mutual Homes put in the cash.

:13:19.:13:24.

A thousand derelict houses brought back into use.

:13:25.:13:31.

There's areas that people w`nt to live and this product hasn't been

:13:32.:13:35.

able to them and hopefully this is part of the partnership

:13:36.:13:38.

This was Liverpool's Boot estate 5 years ago.

:13:39.:13:45.

It was demolished and rebuilt, back in the days when the council

:13:46.:13:48.

The fact that we have so many our properties in lowest council tax

:13:49.:13:54.

band means that we have so little revenue coming into this city.

:13:55.:13:58.

We need to get a mix of different types of properties.

:13:59.:14:01.

Liverpool's had the wrong mhx for too long.

:14:02.:14:06.

That means people have moved out as they've moved up.

:14:07.:14:09.

The population's growing ag`in for first time and we need a hotsing

:14:10.:14:14.

They reckon they'll need 41,000 new homes by 2028.

:14:15.:14:18.

We discover what Ringo Starr wrote to his Stockport sweetheart `

:14:19.:14:32.

in love letters she found in her garage.

:14:33.:14:38.

We speak to the Manchester actress Maxine Peake.

:14:39.:14:46.

Mothers in Manchester can now help save the lives of thousands

:14:47.:14:49.

of people by donating their baby's umbilical cord after giving birth.

:14:50.:14:52.

The Anthony Nolan Charity h`s opened a new centre

:14:53.:14:55.

at St Mary's hospital which will collect vital stem cells from

:14:56.:14:58.

the umbilical cord which can be used in transplants to treat leukaemia.

:14:59.:15:02.

Our Health Correspondent El`ine Dunkley reports.

:15:03.:15:08.

From the moment of birth, babies at St Mary's could s`ve

:15:09.:15:11.

The blood from the umbilical cord is rich in

:15:12.:15:20.

life`saving stem cells that can be used for transplants, Kedra is seven

:15:21.:15:24.

The arrival of her baby could save the life of someone with letkaemia

:15:25.:15:29.

When he grows up, I would tdll him about it. Normally the cord goes

:15:30.:15:39.

into the bin and nobody used it With this programme, you will be

:15:40.:15:40.

able to donate. This centre is a first for the

:15:41.:15:41.

North West already Our population is incrediblx

:15:42.:15:57.

diverse. A large part of thd delivery population comes from other

:15:58.:16:02.

parts of the UK. Martin Soloman and his family

:16:03.:16:04.

campaigned for the new centre. At 15 Martin was diagnosed

:16:05.:16:06.

with Hodgkin's lymphoma. He's now in remission

:16:07.:16:08.

but should he need a transplant this centre could be his best ch`nce

:16:09.:16:11.

of a match The new Anthony Nolan Hopefully other people will not have

:16:12.:16:25.

to have this feeling that I had that day. It has been life changhng for a

:16:26.:16:30.

lot of people. It is wonderful. I could not describe how I fedl today

:16:31.:16:37.

as a family. Tim's best chance of a match would be stem cells from a

:16:38.:16:44.

chord. You do not need a full match. I think it is a really good

:16:46.:16:46.

:16:47.:16:56.

The Village and Shameless. And now she's continuing her

:16:57.:16:58.

career on the big screen. Maxine Peake has already won many

:16:59.:17:00.

plaudits for her varied rolds. But her new film ` called Kdeping

:17:08.:17:10.

but she had no hesitation accepting a part in this small independent

:17:11.:17:13.

film ` as she told us For me,

:17:14.:17:16.

it is always about the script. It does not matter how big

:17:17.:17:21.

the budget is or whatever. If I liked the script, and H think

:17:22.:17:24.

the character is worth having a go I am terribly arrogant,

:17:25.:17:28.

but I would say by page fivd, if I am not interested,

:17:29.:17:37.

I do not bother reading any more. If you are not interested,

the person at home isn't either Any advice for any budding writers

who want to send you a script? It sounds terrible,

confidence and momentum. Whhlst we are realists, we can do it. This is

Dunlop left Honda last year to join BMW, who hadn't won at the TT

:22:18.:22:22.

I did my bit for Dunlop at the start of the week. I wanted to win this,

:26:00.:26:02.

Good evening to you. We havd been talking about this all week, and

:26:03.:26:07.

Saturday in particular looks unsettled. It is all becausd of this

weather front this is going on. As you know, it is being a beattiful

:26:18.:26:22.

one. Temperatures of 20 or 21 degrees. This evening, the sun goes

down at 9:30pm, so you have a few hours of sunshine to enjoy ht. It is

very pleasant. It is very qtiet There is not much going on, and

almost see what is coming in. These lines of showers. They could be

belters. A yellow warning is for the whole of the North West of Dngland

are some belting showers. There could be some locally as ``

localised flooding. Through the afternoon, it will start to clear

and brighten up, but it will not leave Cumbria and Lancashird.

:27:14.:27:20.

Brighter skies come in throtgh the afternoon. Remember this sunshine
