:00:00. > :00:10.Celebrations as Chorley's A re-opens after nine months,
:00:11. > :00:14.But campaigners but say they'll continue to fight
:00:15. > :00:29.Protesters are opposing the closure of walk in centres and do not

:00:37. > :00:38.its own counter-terrorism expert. BAe scientists develop an invisible
:00:39. > :00:41.shield to combat the laser Nine months ago, Chorley Hospital
:00:42. > :00:53.shut its Accident and Emergency Department,
:00:54. > :00:55.saying there weren't enough Campaigners feared it would be
:00:56. > :00:58.permanent, but this morning, But while A across the region
:00:59. > :01:08.are under unprecedented strain, in Bury health officials have today
:01:09. > :01:10.decided to close two Our Health Correspondent,
:01:11. > :01:14.Gill Dummigan, is at Chorley Hospital for us this
:01:15. > :01:23.evening. Yes, safe to say people
:01:24. > :01:25.are pretty happy here. Campaigners clapped staff
:01:26. > :01:27.in at 7.30 this morning - there's a candlelit vigil coming
:01:28. > :01:30.down the road at the moment to herald the end of
:01:31. > :01:32.the first 12 hours. It's been a long battle and some
:01:33. > :01:42.are saying it's not over yet. There's been a demonstration outside
:01:43. > :01:45.this hospital every week But this was a celebration -
:01:46. > :02:04.finally, their A was back. We are very pleased. It has been a
:02:05. > :02:07.long road. It has been 40 weeks outside the hospital, demonstrating,
:02:08. > :02:08.and it has been a real community effort. We are really quite proud of
:02:09. > :02:10.what we've achieved. Between 8am and 8pm,
:02:11. > :02:12.the service will run in tandem with a 24 hour urgent care centre,
:02:13. > :02:25.now run by a not-for-profit We will be seeing patients who are
:02:26. > :02:31.deemed fit for primary care, to be seen by a GP, nurse practitioner, or
:02:32. > :02:38.a nurse or health care assistant, therefore taking the pressure away
:02:39. > :02:41.from the A department. The idea is to have people pointed towards the
:02:42. > :02:45.service most appropriate for them. If you turn up here under your own
:02:46. > :02:49.steam, you will go through that door and a member of staff will decide
:02:50. > :02:52.whether it is urgent care you need all the full services of A
:02:53. > :02:54.A similar system also started in this trust's other
:02:55. > :02:57.They're hoping it'll relieve the pressure on A
:02:58. > :03:00.Today, the patients we interviewed were impressed.
:03:01. > :03:07.We want to improve the experience for our patients. Nobody wants to
:03:08. > :03:13.wait for hours to be attended to. And we are hoping that streaming at
:03:14. > :03:18.the front door, we will reduce that waiting time for patients.
:03:19. > :03:25.Fantastic. Staff are brilliant. Really helpful. Really friendly.
:03:26. > :03:31.Kind. Gentle. We got a few words of advice as well, which was really
:03:32. > :03:32.nice. It was brilliant. We were only in their 20 minutes. The service was
:03:33. > :03:34.good as well. Everyone - campaigners
:03:35. > :03:36.and clinicians - is still saying the ultimate goal is for a 24 hour
:03:37. > :03:39.A once more. Meanwhile in Greater Manchester,
:03:40. > :03:48.there were angry protests this afternoon as health bosses
:03:49. > :03:51.voted to close two walk-in centres. The centres, in Bury and Prestwich,
:03:52. > :03:53.will close later this year despite a survey in
:03:54. > :03:55.which 83% of people said The local NHS says they were
:03:56. > :03:59.ineffective and insists the local A won't bear the brunt
:04:00. > :04:01.of their closure. The walk-in centres in Bury
:04:02. > :04:08.and Prestwich were opened in 2004, as a result of a flagship policy
:04:09. > :04:11.of the then Labour government. They were meant to relieve
:04:12. > :04:13.pressure on A units Around the region and the country,
:04:14. > :04:29.walk in centres have been closing. I have not used it personally but I
:04:30. > :04:33.have with my husband and he was directed straight to hospital. This
:04:34. > :04:40.is really helpful, this place. I don't see why they should close it.
:04:41. > :04:43.I do feel it is a shame actually. Of course I do. There is always times
:04:44. > :04:49.when people cannot access the daughter. The clinical commissioning
:04:50. > :04:53.group found that the number of patients attending the services had
:04:54. > :04:59.fallen by nearly 13,000 over 18 months. But 83% of people disagreed
:05:00. > :05:03.with closing the centres. The centres might be popular with
:05:04. > :05:07.patients but a review pointed out that they don't have access to
:05:08. > :05:10.people's medical records and the walk in the centres are often simply
:05:11. > :05:17.redirecting patients to other services. Most of the people who
:05:18. > :05:23.attend walk in centres are for minor things. There is a considerable
:05:24. > :05:27.proportion of people that can be managed by themselves but others do
:05:28. > :05:29.get passed on to other parts of the service, appropriately. We would
:05:30. > :05:33.like to get them to those services first time. There is undoubtedly
:05:34. > :05:35.some duplication because people don't know which service is best for
:05:36. > :05:41.them. local Labour activists protested
:05:42. > :05:50.outside a meeting where CCG members Thousands and thousands of people
:05:51. > :05:56.use them on a yearly basis and they reduce the pressure on the A
:05:57. > :05:59.department in local hospitals. The other services are bursting and they
:06:00. > :05:59.need these places where you can just go in.
:06:00. > :06:01.The Commissioning Group later voted unanimously to go
:06:02. > :06:05.It insists the money saved will be spent locally to ensure more
:06:06. > :06:08.appointments are available with GPs and extra minor care staff
:06:09. > :06:22.But it admits it's closing a popular service.
:06:23. > :06:28.People in the report saying that they are concerned, the effect this
:06:29. > :06:31.will have on A departments but the local NHS says it is not gone to
:06:32. > :06:37.affect the emergency departments. That is right. They said that it
:06:38. > :06:42.will not make any difference to that A The nearest A is North
:06:43. > :06:48.Manchester General. Interesting to note that at the end of last week,
:06:49. > :06:52.some figures came out showing which ones had been under pressure and had
:06:53. > :06:56.had to declare alerts over the past couple months. North Manchester
:06:57. > :06:59.General had not declared any alerts at all. I would imagine that
:07:00. > :07:02.campaigners will be watching those figures like a hawk over the next
:07:03. > :07:08.couple of months to see a fat changes. Thank you very much indeed.

:08:17. > :08:19.and you've been given more details about the events leading
:08:20. > :08:40.Yes, we did. Today was the first time we have heard what happened on
:08:41. > :08:44.that night in 2012, almost five years ago, when Anthony Grainger was
:08:45. > :08:49.shot dead by police. 16 firearms officers were sent out by the
:08:50. > :08:53.Greater Manchester forced to a car park to arrest their three suspects,
:08:54. > :08:59.men who they believed were about to carry out an armed robbery and we've
:09:00. > :09:08.been told about the accounts that were given by the police officer who
:09:09. > :09:20.fired the fatal bullet. We only know him as Q9. He said, I saw the driver
:09:21. > :09:26.lower his right hand to his groin. That is the moment when police
:09:27. > :09:30.officer Q9 fired his gun, shooting Anthony Grainger and we now know
:09:31. > :09:33.that he was not armed. We have heard some criticism of the way this
:09:34. > :09:39.operation was run by Greater Manchester Police. What issues have
:09:40. > :09:43.been raised? Today we've been told that during the briefing to those
:09:44. > :09:48.firearms officers that evening, before they went out on this
:09:49. > :09:51.operation, some of the information was inaccurate. We've also heard
:09:52. > :09:56.about issues with one of the weapons they had with them, a CS gas
:09:57. > :10:00.canister which was thrown into the car in which Anthony Grainger was
:10:01. > :10:04.sitting. That weapon had not been authorised for use by the Home
:10:05. > :10:09.Secretary. Greater Manchester Police should not have been using it. And
:10:10. > :10:11.even though there were 16 firearms officers with something like 40
:10:12. > :10:16.weapons with them, they were no cameras. It was not standard to wear
:10:17. > :10:19.body cameras at that point and man of the vehicles had cameras on them.
:10:20. > :10:23.There is no video footage of what happened. Thank you very much

:10:58. > :10:59.and doesn't feel isolated. It's now her job to support
:11:00. > :11:08.vulnerable people in her community. It's a fantastic job,
:11:09. > :11:11.to be able to change a person's livelihood or lifestyle,
:11:12. > :11:13.to make it simpler. Just a simple change
:11:14. > :11:21.to make all the difference. She touches me all the time
:11:22. > :11:24.to see what I need. While helping Adam, Roberta is also
:11:25. > :11:36.lifting pressure from social care services and devolution promises
:11:37. > :11:38.more of this. At the moment, policy is decided
:11:39. > :11:40.by the fire authority, which is made up of 30 elected
:11:41. > :11:43.councillors, but from May, fire and rescue will come under
:11:44. > :11:46.the new elected Mayor's office. He or she will have a much
:11:47. > :11:48.smaller committee there to help but ultimately,
:11:49. > :11:50.decisions on budget, on policy and food to higher raw
:11:51. > :11:58.fire come down to the new mayor. People in greater Manchester might
:11:59. > :12:01.be saying, what is the point We'll be making decisions
:12:02. > :12:13.at the heart of the community, I think we'll have councillors
:12:14. > :12:17.who will be able to support the mayor in making those decisions
:12:18. > :12:19.because we'll be working very closely the public
:12:20. > :12:25.that we represent. But 200 jobs are currently at risk

:12:52. > :12:54.outcome of a really poor The outcomes of devolution
:12:55. > :13:05.are still unknown but the hope is that people like Adam will end up
:13:06. > :13:16.feeling better supported than ever. Nina, it's a big ask
:13:17. > :13:32.for firefighters to also become Well, the logic of devolution is if
:13:33. > :13:37.you have a smaller team taking bigger decisions closer to home, all
:13:38. > :13:44.of those services will become more streamlined and work together. For
:13:45. > :13:47.example, Roberta if she saw Adam was not feeling so well, she might make
:13:48. > :13:52.sure that he was treated in the community, rather than heading to
:13:53. > :13:56.accident and emergency. But there is a concern that if the lines are
:13:57. > :14:00.blurred too much as to who does what, something might be missed and
:14:01. > :14:03.what if this new Mayor takes on too much and is not the right man or
:14:04. > :14:09.woman for the job? That is potentially very damaging.

:15:29. > :15:32.Manchester United, it is more than just a football club, it is a
:15:33. > :15:37.national brand, an international brand. So if I was a terrorist and I

:17:45. > :17:46.who know play host There was an eye-catching win
:17:47. > :17:55.for Blackpool in the Cup last night. The seasiders, currently
:17:56. > :17:57.in League Two, dumped out Barnsley from the Championship in thrilling
:17:58. > :17:59.style deep into extra time. But for many fans it doesn't give
:18:00. > :18:02.them too much reason to cheer. The heady days of top-flight
:18:03. > :18:05.football at Bloomfield Road are a fading memory,
:18:06. > :18:06.with many supporters blaming the current owners,
:18:07. > :18:08.the Oyston family, for failing to invest enough of that
:18:09. > :18:25.Premier League windfall. A terrific performance and a morale
:18:26. > :18:28.boosting result. Blackpool 's win at championship Barnsley was one of the
:18:29. > :18:38.shocks of the third round, with two goals from Samuel the highlight of
:18:39. > :18:41.an excellent display. It was brilliant. The lads were
:18:42. > :18:46.unbelievable. It is a fantastic effort from them. Enormously proud
:18:47. > :18:51.of the effort from them. But for Blackpool, the backdrop of
:18:52. > :18:57.infighting and the rest is never far away. The major shareholder and
:18:58. > :19:01.president are in dispute in the courts and supporters protests,
:19:02. > :19:07.thousands are staying away from matches, have intensified over the
:19:08. > :19:10.last couple of seasons. They are boycotting, not because of the
:19:11. > :19:13.position we are in the leak but because of all the different things
:19:14. > :19:16.that have gone on that are well documented, because of the way the
:19:17. > :19:20.football club is being run, it has gone on too long, too much has
:19:21. > :19:23.happened and it needs to stop. All things being equal, Blackpool
:19:24. > :19:27.supporters should be looking forward to what is an excellent fixture
:19:28. > :19:31.against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup. But it is clear that for a
:19:32. > :19:33.large number of them, they are simply not willing to put money into
:19:34. > :19:39.the pockets of the current owners added will be very interesting see
:19:40. > :19:45.just how many Blackpool supporters make the journey. I would imagine
:19:46. > :19:49.quite a few will go. I tend to think a lot of the Oyston out brigade will
:19:50. > :19:54.be there. It is so sad what has happened to Blackpool. What do you
:19:55. > :19:57.say to the fact that if results were better, people would start coming
:19:58. > :20:06.back question mark no, absolutely not. Those people they have a heart
:20:07. > :20:09.for Blackpool but not for Oyston. Blackpool are now in the fourth
:20:10. > :20:13.round of the FA Cup and have been playing some good football but with
:20:14. > :20:18.crowds down to 2000, for many fans, the focus is not so much on staying
:20:19. > :20:21.in the cup as trying to force the owners out.

:20:32. > :20:34.The crowd favourite didn't take part last year,
:20:35. > :20:37.he was taking part in an 2,700 mile mountain bike race
:20:38. > :20:53.He has had plenty of second places, maybe this one will be the one where
:20:54. > :20:56.he wins. The Liverpool team news is in. Daniel Sturridge and Philippe
:20:57. > :21:02.Countinho bold start. Jurgen Klopp is putting out a much more
:21:03. > :21:06.experienced side. We will have the best of the action
:21:07. > :21:08.on the late news at half past ten. Thank you very much.
:21:09. > :21:11.It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but a Lancashire based
:21:12. > :21:13.defence company says powerful laser beams could replace bullets
:21:14. > :21:18.So BAe Systems at Warton has a team working on ways to develop invisible
:21:19. > :21:20.shields that would protect ships and planes from such a threat.
:21:21. > :21:30.Dave Guest has been finding out more.
:21:31. > :21:39.It is Nick 's job to look into the future. I am a futurist. But there
:21:40. > :21:43.is and a crystal ball inside. He works for BAe systems at Warton in
:21:44. > :21:47.Lincolnshire. It really is about what the future means to us and what
:21:48. > :21:51.do we need to do about it. And this is the future he is investigating at
:21:52. > :21:57.present. A future where powerful lazy beams could replace bullets and
:21:58. > :22:01.shells in the theatre of war. In ten or 20 years' time, we could expect
:22:02. > :22:05.to see laser technologies being used fairly extensively on the
:22:06. > :22:11.battlefield. What we are looking at doing is essentially deflecting an
:22:12. > :22:15.incoming laser beam. A bit like an invisible protective shield. It is
:22:16. > :22:22.an invisible protecting shield, yes. Powerful laser beams capable of
:22:23. > :22:25.blasting a pain out of the sky, deflector shields, it all sounds
:22:26. > :22:29.like the plot of a science-fiction film but it is an idea that has been
:22:30. > :22:36.raised as a real possibility in the past. I know this is a technical
:22:37. > :22:40.task. Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan unveiled his strategic
:22:41. > :22:45.defence initiative, the so-called Star Wars programme. It never came
:22:46. > :22:52.to pass. What is to say that this will proceed to reality where
:22:53. > :22:58.Reagans policy failed? We are seeing a revolution in new types of
:22:59. > :23:01.solid-state laser physics. The laser technology we are talking about is
:23:02. > :23:04.different to the laser technology of the past. If the British government
:23:05. > :23:09.could not afford to buy this, what's to say you would not sell it to the
:23:10. > :23:15.Russians or the Chinese? The defence industry is a heavily regulated
:23:16. > :23:19.industry. There are various rules in place to prevent anyone doing that
:23:20. > :23:25.in the UK. How far off in the future before these graphics become a
:23:26. > :23:29.reality? In terms of a deflector shield, we might only be 20 or so
:23:30. > :23:31.years away. It is still on the horizon but not as far away as it
:23:32. > :23:42.once seemed. Almost a quarter of a million pounds
:23:43. > :23:45.has been raised for charity after model trains collected
:23:46. > :23:47.by an Oldham solicitor Many of the valuable items,
:23:48. > :23:50.including trains in mint condition and some which had never been
:23:51. > :23:52.removed from their original packaging, sold for almost
:23:53. > :23:54.double their estimate. A staggering ?230,000 has been
:23:55. > :23:57.raised for charity after 4,000 model trains and carriages acquired by one
:23:58. > :23:59.Oldham collector went The rare items, collected by former
:24:00. > :24:07.Oldham Solicitor and model train collector Antony Adler,
:24:08. > :24:09.had expected to fetch around ?150,000 during the two-day auction
:24:10. > :24:27.at Wright Marshall Fine Arts last Let's catch up with the weather
:24:28. > :24:31.forecast. Nothing has changed for about 48 hours. And for another 48
:24:32. > :24:38.hours, nothing else will change either. This cold air is coming from
:24:39. > :24:41.the continent. The weather is coming towards us from the West. For the
:24:42. > :24:47.most part, we have very weak weather fronts and an awful lot of cloud
:24:48. > :24:52.cover. The sea is relatively mild at this time of year, as the air comes
:24:53. > :24:56.across it, the temperatures are not falling away at all so we are
:24:57. > :24:59.sitting pretty. However with the shift in the high pressure towards
:25:00. > :25:06.the weekend we will start to see the wind coming towards us from the
:25:07. > :25:08.continent. Conditions will get much colder. But maybe some bright
:25:09. > :25:13.weather now and again. That has been in short supply. It is more of what
:25:14. > :25:19.we have had recently. Plenty of cloud cover. Visibility is quite
:25:20. > :25:26.poor out and about. Some mist and fog forming. In terms of rain
:25:27. > :25:30.amounts, negligible. There is hardly anything out there. It is a very
:25:31. > :25:36.weak weather front. We are just seeing a few spots here and there.
:25:37. > :25:41.You might just catch one or two in these places but nothing to write
:25:42. > :25:45.home about. Been there is a pretty good. Seven and eight tomorrow
:25:46. > :25:50.morning. For tomorrow, the picture does not change. The sun comes up
:25:51. > :25:55.and you will not see it at all. Behind the cloud for the whole of
:25:56. > :26:00.the day. You will catch a little drizzle but for most of us, it is a
:26:01. > :26:06.dry picture. Nothing to stir that cloud cover. Once again, eight or
:26:07. > :26:11.nine is where most of us will be. It is very mild.
:26:12. > :26:14.What are you laughing about? I am feeling sorry for anyone who sat
:26:15. > :26:16.through the programme waiting for the weather forecast.
:26:17. > :26:23.It will change by the weekend though.
:26:24. > :26:30.Those grey skies, they are so depressing. We need some sun.
:26:31. > :26:32.Don't bother tuning in at 1025 because she will tell you the same
:26:33. > :26:35.again. Please do. Goodbye.
