Campaigners celebrated the partial re-opening

:00:10.:00:12.

of Chorley Hospital's accident and emergency department today,

:00:13.:00:15.

But they've been continuing their protests tonight

:00:16.:00:21.

to try to get it re-opened round-the-clock.

:00:22.:00:23.

This good news came on the day the NHS announced it was closing two

:00:24.:00:26.

Services in different trusts and across different parts of the

:00:27.:00:35.

The focus today on patient care under pressure on the NHS.

:00:36.:00:41.

Tonight, campaigners were once again outside Chorley Hospital.

:00:42.:00:45.

There was a cake to thank staff for the part-time reopening of A

:00:46.:00:50.

after it was downgraded 9 months ago, but

:00:51.:00:52.

protesters say that is only a partial victory.

:00:53.:00:56.

It is needed 24/7. Not 12.

:00:57.:01:01.

Nobody is going to predict when they are going

:01:02.:01:03.

to have an accident or when there is going to be an accident on the

:01:04.:01:06.

We only got back half of what we expected.

:01:07.:01:10.

We've been campaigning now since April last year when it

:01:11.:01:13.

The service will run alongside a 24-hour urgent

:01:14.:01:17.

care centre, now run by a not-for-profit GP-led consortium.

:01:18.:01:22.

The idea, to stop everyone turning up at A

:01:23.:01:25.

We want to improve the experience for our patients.

:01:26.:01:30.

Nobody wants to have to wait too long to be attended to.

:01:31.:01:33.

If you're seriously unwell, then we are hoping

:01:34.:01:35.

by screening at the front door, we would reduce that

:01:36.:01:37.

In a neighbouring NHS trust, the mood was very different.

:01:38.:01:43.

Here, 2 walk-in centres, once seen as part of the answer

:01:44.:01:47.

Most of the people who attend walk-in centres,

:01:48.:01:54.

by the very nature of what they are, are for very minor things.

:01:55.:01:57.

There is a considerable proportion who can be

:01:58.:01:59.

managed by themselves, some do get passed on to other

:02:00.:02:02.

parts of the service, quite appropriately, so we

:02:03.:02:05.

would like to try and get them to those services first time.

:02:06.:02:09.

Bury Medical Commissioning Group found the number of patients

:02:10.:02:11.

attending the two walk-in centres had fallen by

:02:12.:02:14.

But of the 1,000 people who completed surveys,

:02:15.:02:20.

83% disagreed with the closing of the walk-in centres.

:02:21.:02:24.

I haven't used it personally, but I have with

:02:25.:02:27.

my husband, and he was directed straight to hospital.

:02:28.:02:32.

I don't see why they should close it.

:02:33.:02:36.

I work in one of the doctors surgeries upstairs, I do

:02:37.:02:39.

There are always times when people can't access the doctor.

:02:40.:02:45.

Some money saved could go to fund GP appointments or go in to A

:02:46.:02:50.

That is of little comfort to protesters.

:02:51.:02:52.

They question whether the treatment they need will be

:02:53.:02:56.

An eight-month-old baby has been recovered safely

:02:57.:03:05.

from a house in Birkenhead after a man had a six-hour

:03:06.:03:08.

RafflesRoad was closed while the man,

:03:09.:03:12.

who had a crossbow and machete in the property, barricaded himself

:03:13.:03:15.

Specialist negotiators persuaded him to come out and he was arrested.

:03:16.:03:22.

A man has tonight been charged after a body was found at a house

:03:23.:03:25.

It's believed to be that of Victoria Cherry,

:03:26.:03:28.

who's been missing since October 2015.

:03:29.:03:31.

Andrew Reade is accused of preventing the burial

:03:32.:03:33.

of a body and perverting the course of justice.

:03:34.:03:38.

Hundreds of people were evacuated from buildings in Liverpool

:03:39.:03:40.

city centre earlier following a major gas leak.

:03:41.:03:43.

It's thought an electrical fault damaged a gas main

:03:44.:03:45.

Several roads were closed, causing traffic disruption.

:03:46.:03:53.

The operator of London's Docklands Light Railway has won the contract

:03:54.:03:56.

The ten-year deal with transport infrastructure firm Keolis Amey

:03:57.:04:00.

The company says the new agreement will create more than 300 jobs.

:04:01.:04:08.

The Inquiry into the death of an unarmed man

:04:09.:04:10.

who was shot by police has heard the officer who fired

:04:11.:04:13.

Police believed Anthony Grainger was plotting armed robberies.

:04:14.:04:18.

Our social affairs correspondent Clare Fallon sent this

:04:19.:04:21.

Today was the first time we have heard what happened

:04:22.:04:27.

on that night in 2012, when Anthony Grainger was shot dead.

:04:28.:04:32.

16 firearms officers were sent out by the

:04:33.:04:36.

Greater Manchester force to a car park to arrest their three suspects,

:04:37.:04:41.

men who they believed were about to carry out an armed

:04:42.:04:44.

robbery, and we've been told about the accounts that

:04:45.:04:47.

were given by the police officer who fired the fatal bullet.

:04:48.:04:50.

He said, I saw the driver lower his right hand to his groin.

:04:51.:04:58.

I quickly realised the approaching officers were in extreme danger.

:04:59.:05:07.

That is the moment when police officer Q9 fired his gun, shooting

:05:08.:05:10.

Anthony Grainger, who we now know was not armed.

:05:11.:05:16.

We've also heard today about some of the concerns about the

:05:17.:05:20.

We've been told that in the briefing given to those firearms

:05:21.:05:25.

officers before they went out that night, there was some

:05:26.:05:27.

We've also been told that one of the weapons they had with

:05:28.:05:32.

them, a CS gas canister that was thrown into the car in which Anthony

:05:33.:05:36.

Grainger was sitting, that weapon had not been authorised

:05:37.:05:39.

Greater Manchester Police should not have

:05:40.:05:44.

Manchester United have appointed a full-time

:05:45.:05:50.

counterterrorist expert, thought to be the first

:05:51.:05:52.

The new post has been filled by a former Greater

:05:53.:05:57.

Manchester Police officer whose arrival follows two high

:05:58.:05:59.

profile security breaches at the club within a year.

:06:00.:06:02.

Thousands of fans are evacuated from Old Trafford after

:06:03.:06:09.

the discovery of a fake bomb, accidentally left by a security firm

:06:10.:06:13.

I'm absolutely devastated that a lapse in my working protocols has

:06:14.:06:18.

resulted in many people being disappointed, frightened and

:06:19.:06:21.

Months later, two fans spend a Friday night undetected

:06:22.:06:25.

Both security breaches came with Britain's terror threat

:06:26.:06:33.

Since then, 38 people were killed in bomb attacks following a top

:06:34.:06:37.

BBC North West tonight understands that,

:06:38.:06:42.

in the light of recent terror attacks, the Premier League

:06:43.:06:45.

forwarded updated security guidance to clubs, but that many of these

:06:46.:06:49.

clubs had already received it from the authorities.

:06:50.:06:52.

It is also understood that security decisions

:06:53.:06:54.

are in general taken by individual clubs working with their local

:06:55.:06:57.

If you look at Manchester United, it is more than

:06:58.:07:03.

just a football club in the north-west, it is not just a

:07:04.:07:05.

national brand, it is an international brand.

:07:06.:07:07.

If I was a terrorist, and I was looking at a

:07:08.:07:10.

sport stadium to attack, as we saw something similar in Paris, and of

:07:11.:07:14.

course, don't forget, in Turkey recently, it could be a prime

:07:15.:07:18.

target, so I understand the club taking these measures.

:07:19.:07:21.

Significant match-day security measures are already

:07:22.:07:23.

There are searches at turnstiles, while vehicles

:07:24.:07:27.

This afternoon, fans welcomed the club's

:07:28.:07:30.

It is always in the back of your mind.

:07:31.:07:34.

It didn't used to be, but as you say, it's a

:07:35.:07:37.

If the club feels that they have to do something like

:07:38.:07:41.

that, it is a good thing for peace of mind.

:07:42.:07:43.

I would rather them spend whatever they spend on a counterterrorism

:07:44.:07:46.

specialist than to wake up on Sunday morning and read about a

:07:47.:07:51.

Some of the region's other Premier League sides have told us

:07:52.:07:56.

that they have teams of experts dealing with all aspects of safety.

:07:57.:08:00.

Although there have been no specific threats to sporting events

:08:01.:08:03.

in the UK, ongoing precautions reflect ongoing concerns.

:08:04.:08:07.

Now to football matters on the pitch tonight,

:08:08.:08:15.

and turn off the sound and look away now if you're waiting to see

:08:16.:08:18.

the Liverpool game on FA Cup Match of the Day straight

:08:19.:08:21.

They've been playing a third round replay at Plymouth Argyle.

:08:22.:08:29.

The only goal came midway through the first half.

:08:30.:08:31.

It was Lucas Leiva's first for more than six years.

:08:32.:08:34.

And even though Liverpool had a second half penalty saved,

:08:35.:08:36.

they go through 1-0 to a home meeting with

:08:37.:08:39.

TV personality and speed enthusiast Guy Martin will return to the Isle

:08:40.:08:46.

of Man TT races this year, where he'll team up

:08:47.:08:49.

with the Morecambe Missile John McGuinness on the Honda team.

:08:50.:08:52.

They're both big stars of road racing, but Guy has

:08:53.:08:55.

The crowd favourite didn't take part last year,

:08:56.:08:58.

he was doing a 2,700 mile mountain bike race in the

:08:59.:09:02.

Almost ?250,000 has been raised for charity

:09:03.:09:10.

after model trains collected by an Oldham solicitor

:09:11.:09:13.

Many of the valuable items, including trains in mint condition

:09:14.:09:16.

and some which had never been removed from their original

:09:17.:09:19.

packaging, sold for almost double their estimate.

:09:20.:09:26.

Nothing changes weather wise as we head to next 24 to 48 hours. At

:09:27.:09:41.

that, we will see a change in wind direction which will open the door

:09:42.:09:45.

to cooler directions. High pressure, and that will hold into the start of

:09:46.:09:50.

next week. Subtle changes come as the wind changes direction.

:09:51.:09:54.

Temperatures continue to be really quite good, visibility is quite

:09:55.:10:00.

poor. Blanket cloud cover across the whole of the north-west. We have got

:10:01.:10:05.

a week when a front moving across. It falls apart over the top of us

:10:06.:10:09.

tomorrow. You can see the line of it working through the Isle of Man and

:10:10.:10:15.

Cumbria, added to part of like Asia. It is just cloudy and damp and

:10:16.:10:19.

miles. Temperatures are around 7 and 8 C. Tomorrow, the weather front

:10:20.:10:24.

moves down the region and falls apart. We hang on to the cloud cover

:10:25.:10:31.

which will be with us everywhere. As a weather front falls apart, many

:10:32.:10:35.

places will be dry, through the afternoon, it will be dry and maybe

:10:36.:10:40.

the cloud will not be as thick as today. The breeze very light. You

:10:41.:10:47.

can see the winds... Very good indeed. 8 or 9 C. John National

:10:48.:10:54.

forecast is next, but I will leave you with the outlook for the

:10:55.:10:58.

weekend. Cloud cover still lingering and temperatures falling a bit.

:10:59.:11:02.

next few days, no great changes over the next few days, more sunshine on

:11:03.:11:04.

the way. Despite high-pressure sitting across

:11:05.:11:16.

the country so only slow changes in the weather, we have had a variety

:11:17.:11:20.

of different weathers, for example this beautiful sunset in Southampton

:11:21.:11:26.

which was shared by a Weather Watcher, but grey and misty in Derby

:11:27.:11:30.

thanks to an awful lot of cloud around and very little deviation by

:11:31.:11:34.

day or night from the rather grey routine.

:11:35.:11:37.

That is because we have a weather front, albeit very weak and very

:11:38.:11:41.

little wind to move the cloud and the mist on. Those areas furthest

:11:42.:11:45.

from the weather front to the south, we will see frosty weather under

:11:46.:11:49.

clear skies and to the north and east, but for most of us the code

:11:50.:11:58.

acts like a blanket, stopping temperatures from falling down so

:11:59.:12:00.

relatively mild. Under the clear skies it is another harsh frost.

:12:01.:12:03.

There is fog around and the cold air is never too far away, it is a

:12:04.:12:08.

really harsh period of winter at the moment

:12:09.:12:09.
