organisation now falls outshde what The charity's one of just three

:00:51.:00:52.

organisations in the countrx Our Chief Reporter, Dave Gudst,

:00:53.:00:57.

has the story. The Ummah Welfare Trust says it aims

:00:58.:01:07.

to alleviate poverty and suffering across the world by providing

:01:08.:01:09.

emergency relief to victims Most recently it's been

:01:10.:01:11.

sending aid to Gaza. But the Trust believes its work

:01:12.:01:28.

there has made its bankers nervous, so much so that HSBC no longer

wants the charity as a customer In this letter, HSBC says the

:01:31.:01:37.

charity's accounts will be closed in September because the trtst

falls outside of our risk appetite. It was d?j? vu. During the last war

in Gaza we experienced this. They serve as notice during the previous

war. Two banks, Barclays and now HSBC? It is not only our ch`rity of

which is faced with this situation. Other Islamic organisations have

:02:24.:02:29.

been told they are no longer welcome as

:02:30.:02:30.

So why would a bank want to turn away customers?

:02:31.:02:31.

Well, they're under growing pressure to be careful

:02:32.:02:33.

In 2012 HSBC had to pay a $1.9 billion penalty to the US

:02:34.:02:37.

government for deficiencies in its anti`money`laundering controls.

:02:38.:02:42.

They are being very cautious about what kind of deposits and ftnds they

:02:43.:02:51.

transact. Do they need to h`ve proof that organisations do

:02:52.:02:58.

something wrong before they decide they do not want their customs? They

:02:59.:03:02.

should not be in a position to discriminate without evidence. Are

:03:03.:03:07.

you doing anything they need to worry about? We are providing

A patient health watchdog is demanding an inquiry

:05:49.:05:51.

into a ?4 million consultathon that could lead to the re`organisation

Under a scheme called Healthier Together,

people with a serious injurx will no longer be taken to their local A

Instead, they'll be taken to a specialist Super Hospital.

:06:02.:06:04.

But HealthWatch says the public hasn't had

:06:05.:06:06.

Our Health Correspondent El`ine Dunkley joins us now.

:06:07.:06:13.

The Healthier Together Constltation could be one of the most important

:06:14.:06:16.

This could determine where xou receive treatment in a life or

:06:17.:06:20.

death situation` it's about the re`organisation of emergencx care

:06:21.:06:22.

A centrally driven, top`down process that lacks any democracy. If you put

:06:23.:06:43.

out such a rubbish consultation document and are already seding you

:06:44.:06:49.

have 90% support, what do they want Those were MPs

:06:50.:06:50.

in Westminster last week. Today Health Watch the organisation

:06:51.:06:51.

which represents patients s`ys under parliamentary rules Healthidr

:06:52.:06:52.

Together does not have the power to collectively spend public money and

:06:53.:06:55.

there has been little communication. They have been meeting in sdcret and

:06:56.:07:08.

not engaging properly with the public and when I put down `

:07:09.:07:12.

question of which had to be answered, we found out that they

:07:13.:07:19.

have spent ?4.1 million on propaganda and other measurds. This

:07:20.:07:24.

is totally unacceptable and they have not been given permisshon

:07:25.:07:26.

But Healthier Together says the consultation is legal.

:07:27.:07:27.

And today Prime Minister David Cameron urged

:07:28.:07:28.

Healthier Together says crucially this will save thousands of lives.

:07:29.:07:36.

We have gone through a rigorous process, checking every step. At the

:07:37.:07:48.

top of the NHS in England, they have also checked out what we have done

:07:49.:07:51.

and we are putting forward innovative ideas about improving

:07:52.:07:58.

quality and safety for Greater Manchester, making it the bdst in

Major disruption to trains on the West Coast Main this afternoon with

:08:13.:08:22.

long queues at Preston stathon, and all services stopped after what is

:08:23.:08:32.

described as a press pass incident. The first fully electric buses

The police officer in chargd as the Hillsborough disaster unfolded was a

:08:51.:08:56.

fish out of water, the clail made at the new inquest today. The jury has

:08:57.:09:01.

been hearing from people who worked with him. He was criticised for not

:09:02.:09:06.

providing through leadership on the day. `` truth. What was said about

:09:07.:09:23.

him? They worked in close qtarters together in the police control box

:09:24.:09:27.

on the day of the semifinal. Today, he was questioned by a barrhster

:09:28.:09:35.

representing the Police Feddration. He said that when a request was made

:09:36.:09:44.

for an exit gates to be opened, things were not being led. The

:09:45.:09:49.

barrister asked if he agreed that note leadership was offered at any

:09:50.:09:54.

stage, and he replied saying that is my opinion, yes. The barrister

:09:55.:09:58.

continued referring to the Chief superintendent saying, once he was

:09:59.:10:04.

and said that control box that he seemed to be a fish out of water? He

:10:05.:10:10.

replied, indeed. The former constable says he believes the

:10:11.:10:16.

predecessor, who had left the job as much, and are just three wedks

:10:17.:10:21.

before the semifinal, he sahd that he would have done a

:10:22.:10:25.

responding to the situation on the day. And we have heard something

:10:26.:10:34.

today about the quality of the police radios in use on that they?

:10:35.:10:44.

`` they. The jury heard thex were ten years old and had been deployed

:10:45.:10:52.

to the miners strike in 1984. The jury heard that officers fotnd them

jury has heard from Andrew Sanderson,

:11:13.:11:32.

Cumbria's elusive snow leop`rds even said the base

:11:33.:11:45.

but it's been putting a hugd strain on some of our health services.

:11:46.:11:47.

The North West Ambulance Service says it's struggling to copd with

:11:48.:11:49.

This month alone, the number of seriously ill

:11:50.:11:58.

patients, particularly with heart or breathing problems, has risdn

:11:59.:12:00.

And it means other patients may be waiting longer for an ambul`nce

:12:01.:12:04.

For a service in constant ddmand, the last thing you need is `dded

:12:05.:12:09.

But for these paramedics, fhnding a way to cope is the only option.

:12:10.:12:18.

emergency calls and that is constant throughout the day. 12 hour shifts

:12:19.:12:30.

and the a In Rob's area of Central Manchester

:12:31.:12:32.

and Salford, they're receivhng up to In central Liverpool yesterday,

:12:33.:12:33.

that figure was 520. And it's prompted

:12:34.:12:37.

the ambulance service to issue The most seriously ill

:12:38.:12:38.

patients will be prioritised. If your condition is assessdd over

:12:39.:12:43.

the phone to be less serious, you may have to wait longer

:12:44.:12:46.

for an ambulance, We need to work differently in that

:12:47.:13:01.

we are advising patients to go to alternative pathways of cle`r, for

:13:02.:13:08.

example the GP or walk`in cdntres or a pharmacy. This is one of three

:13:09.:13:18.

call centres across the UK `nd as you can imagine they are under

:13:19.:13:25.

pressure. You need to be calm and a good listener and to try to

:13:26.:13:30.

understand what the collar hs going through. You take each in isolation

:13:31.:13:37.

and never forget the fact it is an individual person each time.

:13:38.:13:37.

Taking your eye off the ball is impossible.

:13:38.:13:39.

To cope with the demand, the Ambulance Service is pl`cing

:13:40.:13:40.

some paramedics in hard to reach locations,

:13:41.:13:42.

and sending others, to less serious calls, in rapid response vehicles.

:13:43.:13:47.

Now, it's off to Glasgow for the latest on the Commonwealth Games.

:13:48.:14:00.

We have had some brilliant results so far.

:14:01.:14:05.

Stuart Pollitt is there and the latest bid to bring gold back to

:14:06.:14:07.

Yes, right behind me in the gymnastics arena where

:14:08.:14:12.

Stockport's Hannah Whelan is looking for a second gold in two daxs.

:14:13.:14:21.

Yesterday, there were tears on the podium as Hannah celdbrated

:14:22.:14:23.

This evening she's competing on her own in

:14:24.:14:32.

the all`around final where gymnasts tackle every bit of apparatts `

:14:33.:14:34.

If Hannah wins she could become one of the stories of these games.

:14:35.:14:43.

But it's not just gymnastics which has been going

:14:44.:14:45.

Wrestling has too, and it's yielded another medal

:14:46.:14:53.

The North West's only medal of the day so far has come courtesy

:14:54.:15:01.

of Salford`based Leon Rattigan in the Men's 87 kilogram wrdstling.

:15:02.:15:05.

Having won two of his three contests today he beat Soso Tamarou

:15:06.:15:07.

It caps off a good couple of days for the Rattigan falily

:15:08.:15:21.

Yesterday his wrestler wife Yana Rattigan won gold.

:15:22.:15:25.

On the wrestling family thele, Sarah Grundy fought her way to

:15:26.:15:27.

a bronze medal match, a day after brother Mike won bronze.

:15:28.:15:31.

Sadly she couldn't follow stit, beaten by Tayla Ford of New Zealand

Manchester's Kate Richardson`Walsh, moved closer to securing a ledal,
