Hundreds of children in Manchester have been put at risk | :00:56. | :01:11. | |
by a failure of social services and other agencies to cope with | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
demand, according to a report published today. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
It's rated both Manchester City Council's children's | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
services and the city's Safeguarding Children Board as inadequate. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
The Ofsted investigation found some children waited six months to be | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
visited by a social worker and one waited nine years to be adopted. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Yes, Ofsted visited Manchester to inspect children's services in June | :01:26. | :01:44. | |
They found a huge and found they | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
They found a huge backlog of nearly 500 cases where families | :01:50. | :01:51. | |

44 children had waited at risk ` although the council says | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
Some social workers were six months to be visited. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Some social workers were dealing with 50 cases. | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
We will ensure there is a earlier cleared | :02:07. | :02:21. | |
We will ensure there is a earlier help for children and, crucially, | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
that when referrals are made, instead of them just being assessed | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
by social workers they will be assessed on a multi`dash`mac agency | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
basis and we have started to do that. | :02:37. | :02:37. | |

childhood sexual exploitation and make sure we do all we can to tackle | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
this hidden crime. As an aside, we will commission an independent | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
review of our arrangements with GMP so we will have a proper and | :03:26. | :03:31. | |

A Liverpool city fan has described what was a spiteful survival on the | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
terraces in Hillsborough. Andy Ashcroft 's lead he was rescued by | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
fellow supporters. He said that even their fans were | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
trying desperately police putting them back into the | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
pens. Our correspondent joins us now. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
Then, Mr Ashcroft was lucky to survive by the sound of it. Just | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
tell us more about his experiences? Yes, he was very lucky indeed. The | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
court heard Andrew Ashcroft was 23 when he went to the match. Today he | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
said the crowd disorganised. He described how he | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
and a friend made gate the police had opened to | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
relieve a tunnel that became crushed with | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
people and out moments of arriving, he knew there | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
was a problem. He could see fans terrace by other fans in the West | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
stand above them. He duck underneath it and enjoyed a | :06:17. | :06:26. | |
lull in the were people dying inside the pen. He | :06:27. | :06:39. | |
said that is when he see a police officer helping people | :06:40. | :06:55. | |
out of the pen. Then, after everything he | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
through, how then did he manage to escape? | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Well, it wasn't easy. He said that crowd determined where he could | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
move. At one point he was horrified that he was handing on a fan. He | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
tried to help him up but he could feel the crowd closing in around | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
him. At one stage, he said a brief opening open next to him through | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
which he can `` could make to the side and fans hoisted him | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
out. He said he didn't have Members of the region 's Kurdish | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
community have told North West Today that up to 20 men have left to fight | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
in northern Iraq. A Kurdish takeaway owner was filmed | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
fighting there Prime Minister has urged UK citizens | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
not to travel there to fight. Kurdish Peshmerga forces on the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
front line fighting militants in Iraq. It is believed their ranks | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
have been altered by a group of young men from Manchester. I know | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
none of them but it is correct that a group of young people have | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Kurdistan to join the Peshmerga forces. That claim was repeated to | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
the BBC by a member of Yorkshire 's Kurdish community and | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
he is following home. He accepts someone to get | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
involved. This is something completely independent. Individuals | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
have their own decisions and nobody forced them to go back to Kurdistan | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
and fight. There are estimated to be | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
thousand Kurds living in the north`west most in Manchester, but | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
some in Liverpool. Many took part in a demonstration in Manchester | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
against Islamic state last month. One of the organisers notes Kurds | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
who have gone to the Middle East but doesn't think it is necessarily | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
fight `` knows Kurds. You can't distinguish | :09:10. | :09:16. | |

fighting. People are eager to support and help the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
can do other things. The alternatives include | :09:27. | :09:32. | |

official in rather when allegations were first made of child sexual | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
exploitation. Liverpool 's mayor wants to speak to | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
him on his return from holiday. We're joined now from Merseyside | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
studio. I believe that he has given a statement today. What has he | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
said? Gerard Fitzgerald has released a statement. He is the chief | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
executive of Liverpool City Council. Between 2001 and 2003 he held the | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
same post in rather and during that post `` time a report was written | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
into sexual abuse in the town. Some senior members of the council | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
believed the facts and figures were made up. Today, Mr Fitzgerald | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
vulnerable young people exploited and | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
He said he will discuss this extremely serious matter in the | :10:56. | :11:21. | |
coming days. I understand the mayor has says he | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
wants to question Mr Fitzgerald about his time in Rotherham. | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
Yes, the mayor was to know whether he knew about the report at the | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
time. He once to be in touch with the author of the latest report and | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
Rotherham council. Mr Fitzgerald wasn't mentioned in the 2002 report | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
or the latest report but he can expect robust questioning from the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
mayor when he returns from holiday. Events in rather have again focused | :11:56. | :12:02. | |

board put into effect a system which tries to stop people becoming a | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
victim in the first place. Our reporter has been taking a | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
at how it works. This teenager was duped and | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
abused by a paedophile who groomed him via the Internet. His | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
said he was 19 nine he was 47. `` his abuser. It probably all started | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
when I was 15. He said it was a way going to school. When did you | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
realise it was wrong? he got quite frustrated with me and | :12:50. | :12:57. | |

jail. Zak comes from Wigan, a exploitation. Local safeguarding | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
board and approach to tackling grooming. We | :13:14. | :13:20. | |

as to whether young people who were being targeted | :13:28. | :13:35. | |

unforgettable Champions League comeback has become the backdrop for | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
Bosses at the new North West Fire Control Centre have | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
been fighting back against criticism of the new system. | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
The centralised control room came under scrutiny after the Fire | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Brigades Union said a lack of local knowledge was putting lives at risk. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
But managers say the new system is quicker and more efficient. | :15:30. | :15:31. | |

I take the view that the call centre still deployed from one location. | :16:31. | :16:37. | |

` certainly the further putting at risk | :16:45. | :16:50. | |

We are looking at ?20 money for frontline services. | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
which was of savings over the | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
which was part of the business case and if you equate that | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
about 550 full`time posts. that's about 25 engines and | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
This has handled more than 19,000 mobilisations since May. | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
Next, Ebola is one of the most terrifying illnesses and while it | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
reduced nurse recovering makes headlines tonight, a doctor is | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
warning against complacency. His latest trip in a 30 year chip | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
studying tropical diseases and he warns more needs to be done or the | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
current outbreak will be catastrophic. We went to see him at | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
the School of tropical medicine. In Liverpool, a new generation of | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
top tiers prepares to take on the fight against the deadly Ebola | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
disease. The School of tropical medicine... For four weeks, Doctor | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
Dempsey risked his own life in Sierra Leone. Many of the patients | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
were very ill. In terms of basic hygiene and so one, there were some | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
problems with that. The epidemic has claimed the lives of over 1000 | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
people. As it spreads, so does fear and stigma for those working to | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
suppress it. He worked along with the word `` the doctor who | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
contracted the disease. Not all health workers have been given the | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
all clear though. Many became ill and some died. In trying to keep in | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
touch with colleagues that are still there, I'm hearing news of further | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
illness among geeks colleagues. Despite the risk, he is keen to get | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
back and so are many of his students. There will always be | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
risks. You have to weigh up whether it is a risk you are willing to | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
take. I did a course in December last year. Liverpool is one of the | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
major centres for tropical medicine. He doesn't know when he will be able | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
to go back but he knows first`hand that this is a disease that will | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
play many more lives. If we do not launch an effective international | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
It has become a fundraising craze on both sides of the Atlantic and if, | :20:03. | :20:15. | |
unlike us, you've not done it yet, chances are you know someone | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
has. The ice bucket challenge. It involves having icy water tipped | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
wherever you and then making eight donation to motor neuron research. | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
One worker said he has been sacked for doing it while at work. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Millions of people have done it all over the world. But when Phil Lucas | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
tipped a couple cost him a donation to charity, it | :20:41. | :20:53. | |
cost him his job. That is due in orange, isn't it? Is that you | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
telling him to get back to work? Yes. It is global now. It seems like | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
I'm the as well. Other people in the video | :21:03. | :21:15. | |
have had nothing said to them. It's a disgrace. Over the last few weeks, | :21:16. | :21:22. | |
for charity as social media timelines have been taken over | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
have done it, North West tonight presenters have done it `` North | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
West Today... But this one, filmed in Leeds seems to have had | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
unintended consequences. Phil says he received this letter warning him | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
of disciplinary action and telling him to go to a meeting the next day. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
here later the same day he was sacked. | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
was become of the ice bucket Challenger and he was | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Phil admits he had one written warning previously, but he says that | :22:08. | :22:24. | |
to sack him now over this makes no Lots of comments on Facebook about | :22:25. | :22:38. | |

Lancashire 's cricketers have moved closer to relegation after a heavy | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
defeat. They needed to bat out the final day but they | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
Liverpool fans will never forget that incredible match in Istanbul | :22:56. | :23:19. | |
when their side came back from 3`0 down to win the European cup. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
that centres around that remarkable night is about to be released. | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
It features a number of top actors and actresses as | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
Probably the matches than on the big | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
Probably the clubs greatest night and arguably the most remarkable | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
final in European history. How on earth do you go back telling that | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
story? It's not just football, is the Champions League final | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
if somebody in Hollywood had written it we would have said it was a load | :24:00. | :24:10. | |
of Tosh. The film follows down in their luck cabbies. The whole idea | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
of the movie is to tell about football fans who are so fanatical | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
they will do anything to get for a football game. Robbie | :24:28. | :24:33. | |

know where to start. I wouldn't get too carried away. I | :25:14. | :25:20. | |

That's great, isn't it? I remember that night so well. I was | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
here working for is up I was not watching it in a public house and I | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
I got home in time for the penalties. | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
Now for the weather. It's not been too bad today. | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
I promised a bright afternoon but the clouds have been so is | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
they would not shift. Having said that, it has been fairly warm. | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
that over the next two or three days, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
main story. For the weekend, temperatures will drop. Plenty of | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
cloud around this evening. Like last night, where there are holes in the | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
cloud we are likely to see fog and mist patches. Temperatures in double | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
figures in towns and cities. Where we have clear skies, temperatures | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
could be down in single figures. Another one day tomorrow but again | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
extensive cloud cover from the word go. Mist and fog patches will lift | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
and the linger for a while. We may see | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
occasional but how much sunshine we will see | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
tomorrow is On Friday, still a lot of cloud but | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
into Saturday, a frontal system pushes in a band of rain. For the | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
