on it, when they do find in the research and find a drug that

Harriet's consultants and they have said that she is the worst case out

and more to the point, if she doesn't get it, she could

die within ten years. Do you see the point

:04:43.:04:44.

that the NHS, Nice, has to Has to make rulings because there

are always people who will want to get drugs for various

different conditions and the lines According to their own

criteria, it is only going to be given to

:05:00.:05:04.

In other words, the worst conditions.

:05:05.:05:06.

If Harriet is the worst condition or the worst sufferer of this

condition in the country, surely she should

When you meet with Jeremy Hunt next week, what are going to say?

:05:12.:05:15.

Don't forget it is up to Nice and NHS England to actually dispense

:05:16.:05:18.

this drug, it is not up to the Secretary of State.

:05:19.:05:21.

I am going to enlist Secretary of State's help to

:05:33.:05:35.

That could for him open the floodgates.

:05:36.:05:37.

At the end of the day, the criteria is there.

:05:38.:05:41.

This drug is available to those who really need it.

:05:42.:05:46.

Are you optimistic you will get this turned around?

:05:47.:05:48.

I never promised anybody anything, but one thing I do promise

:05:49.:05:50.

and one thing I will always deliver is a good fight and I normally get

:05:51.:05:54.

We did contact NHS England to comment on this story but so far

:05:55.:06:00.

A Merseyrail train guard has gone on trial after an elderly

:06:01.:06:06.

woman was injured falling from the platform on to the track.

:06:07.:06:11.

Martin Zee denies a charge of endangering passenger safety

:06:12.:06:13.

by failing to check all passengers had boarded the train before closing

:06:14.:06:17.

His defence say he in fact acted with compassion

:06:18.:06:20.

Our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill is at Liverpool Crown

:06:21.:06:24.

Martin Zee was a guard on a Merseyrail train

:06:25.:06:33.

at Hamilton Square station in Birkenhead in July 2015.

:06:34.:06:39.

The jury have heard that Edna Atherton, who was 88

:06:40.:06:43.

at the time tried to climb aboard the train by holding

:06:44.:06:46.

on to the rubber seal of the door as an alarm was sounding to warn

:06:47.:06:50.

CCTV shows that when the doors started to re-open she lost

:06:51.:06:55.

her balance and fell between the platform

:06:56.:06:57.

She suffered four broken ribs and a cut head.

:06:58.:07:06.

Now the prosecution say Mr Zee did not follow all the 17 steps

:07:07.:07:10.

required to close the doors safely and get the train away safely.

:07:11.:07:14.

His defence say he didn't see Mrs Atherton because of blind spots

:07:15.:07:17.

on the platform and the TV monitors and what happened was an accident.

:07:18.:07:28.

And they have also been hearing Mrs Atherton's version of events?

:07:29.:07:32.

In a statement read to the jury Mrs Atherton said she had to hold

:07:33.:07:35.

because of her arthritis. into to the train

:07:36.:07:39.

She was shocked when the doors moved and thought they were faulty.

:07:40.:07:41.

When she fell she thought she'd landed on the platform until she saw

:07:42.:07:45.

the train wheels and then realised she was on the track.

:07:46.:07:49.

The jury have also heard from Stephen Dodd who's

:07:50.:07:51.

head of customer service training for Merseyrail.

:07:52.:07:53.

He agreed with the prosecution that there would be risks to public

:07:54.:07:59.

safety if the steps for closing the doors weren't

:08:00.:08:01.

But the defence say Mr Zee didn't see Mrs Atherton as he had to turn

:08:02.:08:06.

away from a monitor to close the doors behind another passenger

:08:07.:08:09.

His defence say when Mrs Atherton fell Mr Zee ran to help

:08:10.:08:20.

Liverpool Lime Street reopened today - a week after 200-tonnes of debris

:08:21.:08:42.

But rail users are being warned they face further disruption.

:08:43.:08:48.

Northern Rail say they'll only be able to run 40%

:08:49.:08:51.

of their services next Monday, when members of the RMT union

:08:52.:08:53.

The union called the strike over plans to bring

:08:54.:08:58.

An investigation's continuing after two women were killed

:08:59.:09:00.

when they were hit by a car outside a hospital in Manchester.

:09:01.:09:03.

It happened outside the entrance to Withington Community Hospital

:09:04.:09:05.

An 89-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death

:09:06.:09:08.

The women who died were aged 44 and 49.

:09:09.:09:11.

A convicted murderer, on trial for staging

:09:12.:09:13.

a one-man protest at Manchester's Strangeways Prison,

:09:14.:09:15.

has told a jury that he staged the protest because his complaints

:09:16.:09:18.

about poor conditions and inmates being locked up for 23

:09:19.:09:20.

Stuart Horner climbed onto the prison roof and stayed

:09:21.:09:23.

there for more than two days in 2015.

:09:24.:09:25.

He caused around ?1 million of damage.

:09:26.:09:38.

The words "the north" were never very far away

:09:39.:09:40.

The Northern Powerhouse was, of course,George Osborne's big idea.

:09:41.:09:59.

What about his successor Philip Hammond?

:10:00.:10:00.

He delivered his first budget today - lots of announcements

:10:01.:10:03.

on business rates, national insurance social care.

:10:04.:10:05.

But was their much in it for the north west.

:10:06.:10:07.

Lets join our political editor Nina Warhurst,

:10:08.:10:09.

who's at Westminster.. Nina, this will go down in history

:10:10.:10:11.

Will it go down in history for the north west?

:10:12.:10:15.

We shouldn't expect anything too radical. His catchphrase is good. We

:10:16.:10:18.

spent all afternoon going through this spring budget and in that I

:10:19.:10:20.

found ?90 million spread across northern England for pinch points in

:10:21.:10:25.

motorways. That will be shared out in the north-west and north-east.

:10:26.:10:28.

One bus Lane in Manchester is costing roughly that amount as well,

:10:29.:10:31.

you know that that money won't stretch very far. Additionally, if

:10:32.:10:36.

you are one of the 453,000 people in the north who is self-employed, you

:10:37.:10:39.

will be disappointed because you are going to pay from next year around

:10:40.:10:43.

60p a day in national insurance contributions. That is an increase.

:10:44.:10:47.

The Chancellor says that makes for a more level playing field, opponents

:10:48.:10:51.

say that will stifle the spirit of entrepreneurial spirit. If you are

:10:52.:10:57.

self-employed, you don't get maternity play, six pay that back

:10:58.:11:02.

sick pay. You're not levelling the playing field as well. It is a blow

:11:03.:11:08.

to those who are entrepreneurs. Those who end up employing other

:11:09.:11:12.

people. It stops people getting into business in the first place and

:11:13.:11:17.

makes people who are already on low incomes significantly poorer. Tim

:11:18.:11:21.

Farren from the Lib Dems there, what do Labour say? Labour have been

:11:22.:11:26.

critical of the announcement of ?2 billion for social care. In parts of

:11:27.:11:29.

Lancashire, Merseyside, they feel they are close to failing the public

:11:30.:11:35.

in terms of social care. I spoke to the Labour MP for Salford, she said

:11:36.:11:40.

that ?2 billion across the country is insulting. The Chancellor doesn't

:11:41.:11:43.

care. He told the House of Commons that we are ?1.7 trillion in debt

:11:44.:11:48.

and the age of austerity must go on for a lot longer. Thank you.

:11:49.:11:57.

The inquiry into the death of Anthony Grainger,

:11:58.:11:59.

who was shot by police, has been told two of the armed

:12:00.:12:02.

officers had failed a course the month before the shooting.

:12:03.:12:06.

Emails, only now given to the inquiry by Greater

:12:07.:12:08.

Manchester Police, reveal concerns about the two

:12:09.:12:10.

officers who were part of the armed response team sent

:12:11.:12:13.

to a car park in the Cheshire village of Culcheth in March 2012.

:12:14.:12:16.

Those emails say there were questions about how

:12:17.:12:18.

This from our social affairs correspondet clare fallon

:12:19.:12:20.

Five years ago last week, in this car park, and an armed man was shot

:12:21.:12:24.

dead by police. The firearms officers who came here that night

:12:25.:12:28.

should have been highly trained, used to dealing with the most

:12:29.:12:31.

dangerous situation. Now we have learned that two of them had failed

:12:32.:12:34.

a training course in the weeks before. One of them, only known as Z

:12:35.:12:41.

15 had made such serious safety breaches on that training exercise,

:12:42.:12:45.

it could have ended his career as a firearms officer. The other who

:12:46.:12:51.

failed, X seven, was the most senior firearms officer here when Anthony

:12:52.:12:55.

Grainger was shot dead, effectively running the operation on the ground.

:12:56.:12:59.

Having heard the details during today's hearing, Anthony Grainger's

:13:00.:13:05.

Palmer told me that she finds these revelations deeply upsetting.

:13:06.:13:07.

Concerning. Concerning evidence, all of it. It is quite shocking. How

:13:08.:13:12.

difficult is that for you to sit through and hear all of those

:13:13.:13:16.

details? Hard. Hard and emotional draining. We just want some answers.

:13:17.:13:24.

We want to find out what really happened that night and why Anthony

:13:25.:13:28.

is not here. Giving evidence today, Michael Lawlor. He is now retired,

:13:29.:13:33.

but at the time, he was head of firearms and heavily involved in

:13:34.:13:36.

planning the Greater Manchester Police operation which ended in

:13:37.:13:39.

Anthony Grainger's death. He told the enquiry that he didn't think the

:13:40.:13:44.

police force knew that they had felt that course until after the event

:13:45.:13:48.

and that he had destroyed a book containing some of his notes about

:13:49.:13:51.

the operation when he left the police force. He said... The enquiry

:13:52.:14:02.

is still to hear from the police officer who shot Anthony Grainger.

:14:03.:14:05.

The public hearing is scheduled to last a few more weeks.

:14:06.:14:11.

For the past three days we've been looking at the issue of air

:14:12.:14:17.

pollution, which affects the health of thousands of people

:14:18.:14:19.

Vehciles are thought to be the biggest problem.

:14:20.:14:24.

In a moment, we'll be speaking to James Noakes,

:14:25.:14:26.

from Liverpool City Council, about plans to create

:14:27.:14:28.

But first our Environment Correspondent Judy Hobson has been

:14:29.:14:31.

to Switzerland and Germany to see how two cities have managed

:14:32.:14:34.

Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, and a similar size to manchester

:14:35.:14:38.

it welcomes shoppers, bankers and tourists, but not cars.

:14:39.:14:41.

Parking places are scarce and expensive.

:14:42.:14:44.

It's a deliberate policy to cut air pollution.

:14:45.:14:55.

We don't believe in bullying people and don't say you must

:14:56.:14:57.

leave your car at home, otherwise you are a bad person.

:14:58.:15:02.

But we say we have another option that is really good.

:15:03.:15:06.

By that, he means cheap and efficient public transport.

:15:07.:15:13.

By law, every city centre resident has to live within 500 metres

:15:14.:15:16.

Half the urban population don't own a car.

:15:17.:15:20.

When I for example go eating and drinking,

:15:21.:15:31.

This square used top be full of parking places.

:15:32.:15:42.

Now cars are banned and its measures like this that have

:15:43.:15:47.

helped dissuade people from bringing their vehicles

:15:48.:15:49.

As a result, pollution levels have dropped

:15:50.:15:52.

dramatically over the past ten years.

:15:53.:15:57.

A two hour train ride away is Freigburg in Germany,

:15:58.:16:00.

The most popular way to commute is by bicycle.

:16:01.:16:05.

One area has been built and designed for people not to need cars.

:16:06.:16:12.

This is the district of Vauban, a sustainable area.

:16:13.:16:15.

You can have a car, but you have to pay 18,000 euros

:16:16.:16:24.

You can have a car, but you have to pay 18,000 euros just

:16:25.:16:28.

All the shops are nearby, so day-to-day life is not very

:16:29.:16:31.

Especially for kids, it is fantastic.

:16:32.:16:35.

In summer, you see all the streets are in the

:16:36.:16:37.

street and they are playing together.

:16:38.:16:39.

I would have loved to live here as a kid.

:16:40.:16:41.

Like Zurich, it's an efficient public transport system which has

:16:42.:16:43.

helped make a difference, but also careful own planning.

:16:44.:16:49.

We don't have big shops at the border of the city,

:16:50.:16:53.

where you can buy milk and a television.

:16:54.:16:55.

We have shops in every residential area so you can

:16:56.:17:10.

This is one example of urban planning,

:17:11.:17:13.

Even here, more l needs to be done to further reduce emissions,

:17:14.:17:17.

but Freigburg and Zurich show how urban air pollution can be reduced.

:17:18.:17:20.

It shows policies in places like Manchester

:17:21.:17:22.

much further, if we're to have any chance of cleaning up

:17:23.:17:26.

Last week, Liverpool City Council published its proposals to cut

:17:27.:17:34.

pollution, including restricting diesel vehicles by 2022.

:17:35.:17:42.

But last year when the government announced five cities would be given

:17:43.:17:45.

the powers to create "clean air zones", Liverpool was missed out.

:17:46.:17:51.

Earlier I spoke to James Noakes, from the council, and asked him

:17:52.:17:55.

without the legal powers how could they implement any changes?

:17:56.:17:58.

Well, I think that it's clear the direction of travel that the

:17:59.:18:01.

Government and cities are going on here in the UK.

:18:02.:18:04.

Last year, the Government was taken to court and

:18:05.:18:07.

had to admit that its own policies and its own

:18:08.:18:15.

approach was illegal, so it is having to respond

:18:16.:18:17.

to that and as part of that, it is having

:18:18.:18:22.

to that and as part of that, it is having to give

:18:23.:18:25.

Liverpool is quite confident that some of the ideas that we will bring

:18:26.:18:29.

forward and approaches we want to take will help

:18:30.:18:31.

tackle inequalities where the Government has failed.

:18:32.:18:33.

You can't for instance ban diesel cars

:18:34.:18:35.

or introduce congestion charge, can you?

:18:36.:18:37.

At the moment, what we want to do is explore what the options are

:18:38.:18:41.

To do that, we want to have a genuine conversation

:18:42.:18:44.

with the people of the city, with people such as taxi drivers, bus

:18:45.:18:52.

operators, others who contribute towards the issues that we see with

:18:53.:18:57.

Then we will put forward proposals for the mayor

:18:58.:19:01.

to take on board, working in conjunction with not just the rest

:19:02.:19:04.

of the city, that the city region as well.

:19:05.:19:06.

Part of that will inevitably be how we put pressure on Government

:19:07.:19:09.

Do you think there comes a time when people in Liverpool should

:19:10.:19:15.

think again before buying a diesel car?

:19:16.:19:16.

As a diesel car owner myself, I know the situation that many people

:19:17.:19:20.

Of considering that they thought they had done the right

:19:21.:19:26.

thing, maybe they did in terms of carbon emissions, but it has added

:19:27.:19:29.

to a different problem in terms of our air quality.

:19:30.:19:32.

What we want to do in the city is to bring those people

:19:33.:19:35.

We don't want to be particularly punitive with people,

:19:36.:19:38.

we want to have a conversation with those people to come up with ideas

:19:39.:19:42.

One of the things that the mayor has already said is that we want to join

:19:43.:19:47.

with London and other cities to call for the Government to introduce a

:19:48.:19:50.

Those people who have invested in good faith in

:19:51.:19:53.

diesel vehicles can find a different way of getting an alternative

:19:54.:19:56.

could taste it, can we? A little bit of spring in the air today.

can see as that cloud melts away, glorious sunshine. The Manchester

Cheshire. Nice to walk the dog. This evening, clear spells. Chance of a

shower or two in the Isle of Man, up towards Cumbria, perhaps north

Lancashire. A dry night. Wind picking up into the early hours of

Thursday morning, temperatures overnight down to about seven or 8

quite a bit of cloud. On Friday, it will be a cloudy day. Outbreaks of

rain on and off. Particularly over higher ground. Despite the cloud,
