A report by Labour's National Executive Committee has upheld | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
complaints by the Wallasey MP, Angela Eagle, that she and her staff | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
were subjected to homophobic abuse and intimidation | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The MP, who was involved in the leadership challenge | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
to Jeremy Corbyn, said she was pleased that the NEC had | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
It was in July that tensions began to rise in the Wallasey Labour Party | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
after Angela Eagle criticised Jeremy Corbyn and then | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The Labour Party has now upheld the MP's complaints that | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
as a result, she was subjected to homophobic abuse | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
at a constituency meeting and that they received hundreds | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
of abusive homophobic and frightening messages sent | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
The report also said it was highly likely that an attack | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
at her constituency party office when a brick was thrown | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
through the window was linked to her leadership bid. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Ultimately I think the report outlines serious wrongdoings | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
It made it clear there was a mood that was quite unpleasant | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
It made it clear there was intimidation. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
There was homophobia and there was abuse. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Staff at this constituency office were said to have been left | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
upset and intimidated by the abuse they received, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
but local party activists denied it happened and the chair | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
of the local party is critical of the report's findings. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Kathy Runswick says she is disappointed | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
She says any homophobia should be rooted out, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
but she is critical of the fact that the party says it happened | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Angela Eagle declined to speak on camera but in a statement | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
Meanwhile at Wirral magistrates' earlier today, a 45-year-old man | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
Stephen King from Paisley in Scotland admitted making death | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
He was given an eight week suspended prison sentence. | :02:03. | :02:19. | |
Well, I'm now joined by professor of politics Jon Tonge | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
A damning report as far as the local Labour Party goes. What does this | :02:22. | :02:34. | |
mean for Labour in Wallasey now? Well, it paints a grim picture this | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
report of Labour in Wallasey. Will those individuals alleged to have | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
carried out the actions and there were no names mentioned in this | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
particular report, will the disputes panel the Labour Party move to expel | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the perpetrators and what about the future of Wallasey Labour Party? | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
This is one of the biggest Labour Party in the north-west with over | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
1,000 members. What's going to happen? Angela Eagle has an | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
uncomfortable relationship with a section of that Labour Party. Is | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
there going to be mediation? Is the party going to be suspended | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
indefinitely. Whether what is the future of Wallasey Labour Party | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
because there has to be some healing process from here on in. We have had | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
lots of wrangling in the Labour Party nationally, what does this | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
incident and how it is being handled tell us about the Labour Party? It | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
is another blow. There has been investigations into anti-semitism | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
and now there are investigations into brick throwing. Just at a time | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
when the Labour Party was beginning to unify after the Labour Party | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
contest and after the Labour Party Conference last month. It is another | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
setback and the idea that you've got the comrades in a local Labour Party | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
who are at each others throats of the it is a poor image of the party. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Angela Eagle is experienced, political operator. What does it | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
mean for her relationship with the national party and Jeremy Corbyn? | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has come out and been in strong in defence of Angela | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Eagle. He seems to have forgiven her for being willing to take him on as | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Labour Party leader. So there is an element of healing. Angela Eagle has | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
got to build bridges with a section of her party who acted against her. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
I'm not sure how that bridge will be built. Angela Eagle turned Wallasey | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
into a safe Labour seat. A midwife involved in | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
the Furness General maternity The Nursing and Midwifery Council | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
found that Lindsey Biggs failed to provide basic care to baby | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Joshua Titcombe who died aged She was already suspended from duty | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
after the death of another baby at Furness General | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
in March of this year. The panel said she had | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
shown little remorse. Charges against a former teacher | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
accused of indecently assaulting boys at Knowl View School | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
in Rochdale have been dropped. David Higgins, who is now 76, was | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
due to go on trial later this year. He's already serving a prison | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
sentence for a previous But now prosecutors say there's | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
not enough evidence. Now the latest unemployment figures | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
suggest the number of people out of work in the North West went up | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
by 8,000 between June There are now 182,000 people | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
unemployed in the region. That's 5.1% of the workforce just | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
above the national average. But when you compare these | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
figures to previous years - In 2012 there were 335,000 people | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
unemployed in the region. That was 9.5% of the workforce, | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
compared to 8.1% nationally. The Government says more people | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
are in or available for work Stuart Flinders has been to find out | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
whether those headline figures Rob Dixon certainly isn't | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
going to complain about an annual But the trend does | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
give him a headache. Mark has just finished a batch | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
of replica sash windows to go He is trying to expand his business | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
in Stockport, but he If we advertise for apprentices | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
we might get ten applications. We offer interviews to everybody, | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
half turn up, two we might recruit and one would leave | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
within the first few weeks. It's hard work and for small | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
business in particular, the kind of resources need | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
to be put into that, The figures are, of course, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
welcomed at Jobcentres like this one in Didsbury, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Manchester. They are part of a recent trend that | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
suggests more and more people, Over the course of the year | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
there is an additional 63,000 people who have gone into and found work | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
and that's pretty consistent Marcus has been unemployed | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
for a long time. I guess even if unemployment | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
is coming down, if you're out of work, you're out | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
of work and it's still It's time-consuming | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
and what they say to people looking There are still jobs available, | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
of course, but what kind of jobs? We have seen a shift in the labour | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
market from full-time permanent positions to part-time, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
short-time and self employment positions and that's a major concern | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
in terms of people's Employment figures maybe improving, | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
but the unions and businessmen like Rob Dixon agree more needs | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
to be done to improve the skills When Erin Cross needed | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
pioneering medical treatment in the United States, | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
her parents faced a major challenge. They had to raise ?140,000 | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
and they had to do it quickly. Amazingly, an appeal via social | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
media brought in the money Erin flew out to the States, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
spent three months undergoing treatment and is now | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
back home in Chester. Dave Guest has been | :07:59. | :07:59. | |
to meet her and her family. To see her playing happily, | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
you'd never guess that Erin has been though some pretty tough times | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
in her short life. She was diagnosed with | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
leukaemia at the age of two. Her parents were then told she'd | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
need a bone marrow transplant, We need to get her in remission | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
so she could have a bone marrow transplant so she can be fully | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
cured of the leukaemia. Erin's parents heard of a pioneering | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
cell engineering therapy being tried out in America which offered | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
the best chance of getting Erin into remission so that she could | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
have that bone marrow transplant. Basically, blood is taken | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
from the patient and so-called They're then re-engineered and | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
administered back into the patient. Now those re-engineered cells | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
are able to attack the cancerous cells, but the therapy | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
doesn't come cheap. The family needed to raised | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
?140,000 and quickly. Amazingly, a social media campaign | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
raised that cash in just 36 hours. We just want to thank everyone | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
from the bottom of our hearts. Everyone that supported | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
and donated and retweeted. So in July, the family arrived | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
in the States and Erin's We've got to kind of keep her | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
slightly isolated because her immune system is still working | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
to get better. Yes, so now she is ready | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
for transplants and preparations have taken place at Manchester's | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Children's Hospital. For now, Erin's family | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
have their minds focused on next month when she'll have that bone | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
marrow transplant in Manchester and hopefully be rid | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
of leukaemia for good. In the Champions League, | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
Manchester City had City keeper Claudio Bravo was sent | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
off for deliberately handling That's it from me. | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
Here's Diane with the weather. Bottom Good evening. It wasn't a bad | :10:05. | :10:14. | |
day. Plenty of sunshine. We have got a lot of clear weather. | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
You might be able to see the meteor shower. We have got clear skies | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
tonight. There is a small chance. However, the clear skies with the | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
light winds mean the temperatures are on the way down. | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
Tomorrow looks a good day. Very much like today. Once the sun comes up | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
close to 8am it should start to work its magic and the day will look very | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
nice. Going into the afternoon one or two showers may develop just | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
popping up here and there, but you will be unlucky if you catch more | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
than one or two. It is cool. Cop temperature through the afternoon 12 | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
or 13 Celsius. I'll leave with the outlook. It continues fob fine and | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
dry. Good night. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
that cool breeze to factor in. Here is Matt with the national outlook. | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
Good evening. Just as the weather starts to quieten down across many | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
parts of the country it notched up a gear across the east coast today. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Near gale force winds whipping up rough seas for our | :11:19. | :11:20. |
