Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Annabel Tiffin

:00:00.:00:00.

A Bolton man shot dead by the police five years ago.

:00:00.:00:10.

His family is told that officers used 'out of date' intelligence.

:00:11.:00:20.

The star man of English rugby coaching comes to Lancashire to put

:00:21.:00:28.

the next generation of players through their paces.

:00:29.:00:36.

It is costing ?600,000,000 to construct, I hear the bridge to find

:00:37.:00:41.

out if they are on top -- track to open by the autumn.

:00:42.:00:43.

And the cheap holiday souvenir brought home to Stockport

:00:44.:00:45.

from Turkey that turned out to be thousands of years old.

:00:46.:01:02.

The public enquiry into the death of a man who was shot by police saying

:01:03.:01:08.

it was serious failings into the peace investigation. She was shot by

:01:09.:01:12.

a firearms officer from greater Manchester police in 2012. Our

:01:13.:01:17.

reporter joins us now from Liverpool Crown Court. His family came here

:01:18.:01:26.

today hoping that this browser as well as some of the questions that

:01:27.:01:29.

they had been lobbying for and as far for a very long time. This is a

:01:30.:01:35.

public enquiry which was ordered by Theresa May when she was Home

:01:36.:01:40.

Secretary, and today on day 1, we heard some serious criticisms of the

:01:41.:01:45.

police operation. We heard about problems with the competency of some

:01:46.:01:49.

of the officers who were in charge of it and also about serious

:01:50.:01:51.

criticisms by the Klizan watchdog. March 2000 12. A car park is locked

:01:52.:02:03.

down by investigators. Please had shot and killed an unarmed man as he

:02:04.:02:07.

sat at the wheel of this red algae. His name was Anthony Granger. Almost

:02:08.:02:13.

5 years on, was what happened here and why remains unclear. The aim of

:02:14.:02:18.

this enquiry is to answer the unanswered questions. Arriving for

:02:19.:02:26.

the start of the enquiry, Anthony Granger's family. They have lobbied

:02:27.:02:30.

for this for years and they have now heard about feelings in the days

:02:31.:02:34.

operation. The enquiry was told that almost all the officers did not have

:02:35.:02:37.

the right the hearing was also told about

:02:38.:02:53.

serious criticisms by the police watchdog which found that out of

:02:54.:02:58.

date intelligence was used and officers were briefed with

:02:59.:03:01.

inaccurate information. But even though this is a public enquiry,

:03:02.:03:05.

Anthony Granger's family won't hear everything. 15 witnesses will be

:03:06.:03:11.

allowed to give evidence behind closed doors. It's a natural feeling

:03:12.:03:16.

that it is quite frustrating that I'm not going to hear the evidence.

:03:17.:03:22.

My legal team will. Judges made that ruling. If it is made part of the

:03:23.:03:25.

public enquiry, we just have to get on with it. I just want the answers.

:03:26.:03:31.

I want to find out why he isn't here any more. When Anthony Granger was

:03:32.:03:36.

shot dead, he was the subject of a surveillance operation. It was

:03:37.:03:41.

thought he was planning armed robberies, but his Congress is

:03:42.:03:45.

whether later cleared in court. The officer who fired insists his

:03:46.:03:55.

actions were justified. His defence says,

:03:56.:03:55.

later this week, that police officer will come to the enquiry to give

:03:56.:04:10.

evidence about why he opened fire. This is not going to be a quick

:04:11.:04:15.

process. We were told today on day 1 that during the course of this

:04:16.:04:21.

enquiry we will hear from 17 witnesses during open hearings, and

:04:22.:04:25.

other 15 witnesses who been given permission behind closed doors. Why

:04:26.:04:31.

is this evidence phase has finished, it is likely to be several more

:04:32.:04:34.

months before we get the findings of this enquiry.

:04:35.:04:36.

The elected Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City

:04:37.:04:39.

region will be invited to have their say on the

:04:40.:04:42.

That was the promise from Government today.

:04:43.:04:46.

The announcement came after the Prime Minister's speech

:04:47.:04:48.

where she confirmed we will be leaving the European single market.

:04:49.:04:53.

Our political editor Nina Warhurst has been following developments.

:04:54.:04:55.

Nina, leaving the single market doesn't come

:04:56.:04:58.

as a surprise, what does it mean for the north-west?

:04:59.:05:05.

1 MP described it to me as if we were sat on a train knowing we were

:05:06.:05:15.

leaving the single market, now the train has started moving. 47% of our

:05:16.:05:19.

trading in west is to the single market, though there has been a

:05:20.:05:24.

mixed reaction. Some say this issue is a significant clarity that means

:05:25.:05:31.

we can move forward. Others say it is brilliant, we're open for

:05:32.:05:37.

business. Lots of MPs are quite sceptical, many of them have said to

:05:38.:05:40.

me that what they would have liked to have seen is more details on a

:05:41.:05:49.

trading deal -- trading deal. And worried about the decisions that had

:05:50.:05:53.

been announced today. Parliament has to hope this Government's feet to

:05:54.:05:57.

the fire. They need to get the best deal for Britain. There has been

:05:58.:06:03.

some fear that the voices of the Northwest and not going to be heard

:06:04.:06:08.

in this debate. What came as an today it was a promise that the

:06:09.:06:12.

Northwest could have more of a say. After 3 is a's speech, the

:06:13.:06:18.

Government was called upon to form a Brexit Government for the regions. I

:06:19.:06:24.

see any prime minister's speech that she makes... The city of London, but

:06:25.:06:30.

there is no mention of the Northwest of England or any English region. I

:06:31.:06:36.

am acutely conscious of the needs of the north. What I am intending to

:06:37.:06:40.

do, had intended to announce that, but I well know. After the mayoral

:06:41.:06:47.

elections, and will get all of the mayors to talk about precisely that.

:06:48.:06:55.

A knot of satisfaction. Remember the timescales involved. 2 years before

:06:56.:06:59.

we start talking about transition. Paul Nuttall, the leader of you get,

:07:00.:07:05.

it says that is sadly too long. He says the Government will lead us on

:07:06.:07:08.

an expensive game of snakes and ladders, where we end up exactly

:07:09.:07:10.

where we started. A jury has cleared a man accused

:07:11.:07:11.

of forcing a Polish couple to work Khuram Riaz faced two

:07:12.:07:15.

charges after the couple were discovered living

:07:16.:07:19.

in an outbuilding in Nelson. Today the Judge told the court

:07:20.:07:22.

to record 'not guilty' verdicts Mr Riaz's father, Mohammed Riaz,

:07:23.:07:25.

still faces the same charges, Police investigating

treated in hospital, but detectives say he'll be

questioned on suspicion The other man hurt in the incident

remains in a critical condition Both lived in the terraced house

:08:31.:08:36.

which was torn apart Our Chief Reporter,

:08:37.:08:39.

Dave Guest has more. A scene of destruction that is now

:08:40.:08:44.

being treated as a scene of crime. We were keeping an open mind

:08:45.:08:48.

in terms of the exact cause of the But based on the evidence

:08:49.:08:52.

that we have gathered so far, I'm satisfied at this stage that we have

:08:53.:08:58.

evidence that there is some This end terraced house

:08:59.:09:02.

in Cecil Road in the Blakely area of Manchester was flattened

:09:03.:09:07.

in moments during a huge explosion The house next-door

:09:08.:09:12.

was left barely standing. Those living nearby

:09:13.:09:18.

were today still trying to comprehend what had

:09:19.:09:23.

happened on their doorstep. Upset, really.

:09:24.:09:27.

Yeah, we're really upset. You don't think it is

:09:28.:09:31.

going to happen to you. Two men who lived in the end

:09:32.:09:38.

house were taken to hospital, one in

:09:39.:09:43.

a critical condition. And then today came news

:09:44.:09:47.

that the less injured of the two men had been put under arrest

:09:48.:09:51.

in his hospital bed on suspicion of causing

:09:52.:09:54.

an explosion to endanger life. He is 33, and remains

:09:55.:09:58.

in hospial where his He'll be undergoing some

:09:59.:10:01.

surgery in due course. The 29 -year-old male

:10:02.:10:08.

who is in intensive care has been And so the search for answers as to

:10:09.:10:15.

what exactly led up to all of this Is genuinely for more than a

:10:16.:10:41.

thousand years. Now we're getting a chance to see what happens inside

:10:42.:10:49.

its doors. The Tynwald is to allow reporters into its doors in line

:10:50.:10:53.

with its younger cousins in the UK. Cameras have been able to show

:10:54.:10:57.

what goes on in here since 1989. The rules are even changing

:10:58.:11:00.

for filming inside courtrooms. And now, they are relaxing

:11:01.:11:06.

the rules here, too. Up until now, filming

:11:07.:11:11.

inside the Tynwald building has been tightly restricted,

:11:12.:11:14.

but from today, that's What we're looking for is

:11:15.:11:16.

the approval of a code of conduct which will mean

:11:17.:11:23.

that the doors will open regular audiovisual recording

:11:24.:11:25.

of the proceedings. Political debates in

:11:26.:11:29.

the Manx Parliament are broadcast on local radio and the internet, but it

:11:30.:11:32.

has been tricky for journalists to At the moment, it is

:11:33.:11:36.

under the direction of the President, you need a vote

:11:37.:11:40.

of the Court every single time It is what some campaigners have

:11:41.:11:43.

been asking for for years. YouTube is extremely popular,

:11:44.:11:48.

all round the world. Why shouldn't pictures

:11:49.:11:54.

of our parliament be Responses to the plans have

:11:55.:11:57.

been generally positive. Sometimes I think there's not enough

:11:58.:12:03.

transparency as to what is going on. If you want to find out

:12:04.:12:08.

what is going on in your local community of what is

:12:09.:12:14.

going on centrally, you can But next time there is,

:12:15.:12:17.

hopefully the cameras will I am head coach of English rugby.

:12:18.:12:53.

Enjoy me later to find out what I am doing here. And 80 holiday souvenir

:12:54.:12:59.

brought home from Stockport that turned out to be thousands of years

:13:00.:13:06.

old. It said your name is just been bandied around in Turkey. It's just

:13:07.:13:07.

amazing. Now, you may want to look away

:13:08.:13:13.

if you have a fear of heights. The biggest construction

:13:14.:13:16.

project outside London is here in the North West -

:13:17.:13:17.

and it's due to open in the autumn. The Mersey Gateway bridge

:13:18.:13:21.

costs ?600 million - and is designed to relieve

:13:22.:13:25.

congestion around Runcorn. Juliet Phillips has been

:13:26.:13:29.

along to take a look. Through the mist, a colossal

:13:30.:13:41.

construction is taking shape. The Mersey Gateway bridge will span a

:13:42.:13:44.

kilometre across the water, making it 1 of the biggest bridges in the

:13:45.:13:49.

country. In total, 9 kilometres of breads are connecting roads are

:13:50.:13:54.

being built. The new bridge is needed because the Silver Jubilee

:13:55.:13:58.

Bridges currently take on 10 times more traffic than it was built for.

:13:59.:14:04.

In the project is advancing really well. A great amount of work has

:14:05.:14:11.

been done. Prior to that, there was a lot of can -- temporary work.

:14:12.:14:18.

People can now see the bridge starting to take shape. Such a

:14:19.:14:22.

large-scale project hasn't come without its challenges. This was the

:14:23.:14:28.

moment the flammable chemical phosphorus was discovered when he

:14:29.:14:33.

was when digging on the site. When the excavation till was coming back

:14:34.:14:38.

to the surface, it's about some of the Earth but it also throughout

:14:39.:14:42.

material that started combusting and lots of white smoke emerged. We had

:14:43.:14:49.

to bring in a civilian arm of a bomb disposal company so that they can

:14:50.:14:53.

move it safely. The scale of the scheme means that up to 1000 people

:14:54.:14:57.

can be working across the site on any day. Baulk as the country goes,

:14:58.:15:05.

the concrete is vibrated to make sure we get the air out of it and is

:15:06.:15:13.

compacted and then we bring it up in a planned process to ensure that the

:15:14.:15:18.

whole span is in balance. This is how the finished bridge will look.

:15:19.:15:24.

It is a long road ahead. It is said that the bridges on schedule.

:15:25.:15:31.

Sport now, and Fleetwood Town are bidding to make

:15:32.:15:33.

Stuart Pollitt is at Highbury ahead of tonight's

:15:34.:15:39.

third round replay with Bristol City.

:15:40.:15:52.

On the home you join really want this year that Fleetwood town with

:15:53.:16:04.

just a few people here at the moment.

:16:05.:16:04.

Six promotions in ten years and they're going

:16:05.:16:06.

But first it's the FA Cup tonight and the chance to reach the fourth

:16:07.:16:11.

round for the first time - and confirm a clash

:16:12.:16:14.

Either Burnley or Sunderland who are also playing this evening.

:16:15.:16:17.

Standing in Fleetwood's way are Bristol City.

:16:18.:16:19.

The Cod Army haven't lost since the 12th of November.

:16:20.:16:22.

Earlier I caught up with their manager Uwe Rosler.

:16:23.:16:32.

It is called so we are used to that. We missed the wind but it is great

:16:33.:16:38.

weather for football, maybe not much for the spectators but for the

:16:39.:16:42.

players. What an opportunity for us and a great chance, we relish the

:16:43.:16:49.

fact that we play against a championship team. We did really

:16:50.:16:53.

well in the first game and it is another opportunity for us to show

:16:54.:16:57.

what we can do and learn. It could be a bit of tests this tonight but

:16:58.:17:02.

you are also going for promotion. This has been a tremendous run in

:17:03.:17:07.

the last couple of months. Edwards will read you had that from. We are

:17:08.:17:11.

doing pretty well but we're not changing our targets. We want to get

:17:12.:17:17.

50 points and then see what is possible and the league this season.

:17:18.:17:24.

And the cup, the we have only got two times so far and syndrome so we

:17:25.:17:29.

have the chance to make history. We just lots against Leeds and the

:17:30.:17:32.

other good team so we are going quite strong, be missing if you

:17:33.:17:37.

clear is that it is an opportunity for other players to show. And you

:17:38.:17:44.

are enjoying it at the club? Definitely. I was looking for this

:17:45.:17:51.

sort of challenge, I have a chairman who understands football and

:17:52.:17:54.

understand he can't shift of the targets we can recount so we are

:17:55.:17:58.

stable, we know what we have to achieve and the chairman is very

:17:59.:18:00.

knowledgeable about football and very supportive and that is what I

:18:01.:18:02.

was hoping for. Sale Sharks have lodged a protest

:18:03.:18:07.

with the rugby football union claiming one of their own

all the evidence, have a look at it It is unprecedented in most

sports, not just rugby. There's a trust element that has

been put in question by the players Moving on, and Lancashire

:18:58.:19:01.

the club is ambitious. We would never say that we're not

:19:02.:19:08.

going to challenge and it We want to challenge right now

:19:09.:19:11.

but equally we want to help the squad develop to become

:19:12.:19:15.

a strong and solid squad to compete Some good news for speedway fans,

in my class that To see this amount of

people come to Preston My seven-year-old son is playing

is just so special. For these young players,

new artifical pitch. This ground has struggled

:21:16.:21:19.

with flooding - but up to 2,000 extra hours of rugby can now

:21:20.:21:22.

be played each year. It just allows you to use the pitch

:21:23.:21:27.

so much more, particularly with the weather conditions

:21:28.:21:30.

and the kids want to practice their skills,

:21:31.:21:32.

if you produce skilful players you have kids that want

:21:33.:21:35.

to play the game. The more the practice, the harder

:21:36.:21:37.

the train, the most committed they are, the more chance they have

got to realising their talent. And perhaps working

with someone like Is that the try that

seals the Grand Slam? The Australian pulled the England

team out of the mire, making them an unbeaten force

is an opportunity not You can't really describe it

:21:57.:21:58.

in words, you just feel It is quite interesting

telling you what to do, Getting Eddie Jones to come

clubs in the country to play on this springy surface,

and bottom of the league they are hoping their fortunes

:22:24.:22:25.

will also bounceback. In England we tend to

:22:26.:22:28.

play a certain style of rugby based on the fact

We've all been on holiday and brought something back

:23:24.:23:30.

Thelma Bishop from Stockport brought back a souvenir jug

:23:31.:23:34.

She really should have left it behind because it turned out

:23:35.:23:38.

to be a piece of history, thousands of years old.

:23:39.:23:40.

As Ian Haslam reports, she's decided to give it back.

whatever else they want and that was for the afterlife because people

:24:49.:24:51.

believed in those days that you came back.

:24:52.:24:51.

The auctioneer she took it to was Jason Wood.

:24:52.:24:55.

It was a bit of a surprise to find this in Stockport, not very large

it is important for the Turkish nation.

:25:11.:25:11.

In bringing the pot home Thelma was unwittingly breaking a Turkish

didn't know at the time and autistic and 50 years to find out.
