That's how neighbours in Manchester are describing | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
the suspected murder of a man - who ran out of his house to confront | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Former Royal Navy lieutenant Mike Samwell appears to have been | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
run over by his own vehicle early Sunday morning. | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
Tonight, detectives are still questioning a 21-year-old suspect. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Here's our Chief Reporter Dave Guest. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
The saddest of homecomings for Jessica Samwell. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
Her quiet suburban life was thrown into chaos yesterday morning. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
That's when her husband Mike went to investigate noises they'd heard | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Apparently run over by his own car after disturbing someone | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
I've met them a couple of times, seeing them on the street. | :00:53. | :01:02. | |
Very quiet, hard-working, just a lovely guy, really. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
He always said hello and good morning and I just feel so desperate | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
for his wife for what she must be going through. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
It's horrible and I feel really bad for the poor family. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
So, a life lost, a wife widowed and it seems | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
That car, an Audi, turned up a short distance from here in the Ladybarn | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
district of Manchester later in the day. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
The police want to hear from anyone who saw the vehicle on its journey | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
They also want to hear from anyone who saw a blue BMW being driven | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
erratically in the area at around the same time. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Mike Samwell was a former naval officer. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
He'd served 12 years as an engineer sub Mariner, eventually reaching | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Today, the Navy and former sub Mariners joined those | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
The Mariners in Manchester are here to help in any way possible. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
There's a national organisation out there for support. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Most recently, he'd worked for an engineering | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Mike was a hugely well liked colleague. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
He was bright and positive with a great career ahead of him | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
and it's a terrible loss to all of us, he will | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Tonight, a man of 21 is still being questioned by police | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
Dave Guest, BBC North West Tonight, Chorlton. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
A tourist from the Isle of Man has drowned at a beach in Thailand. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Scott Townsend, who was 37 and from Douglas, | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
is reported to have disappeared after going into the sea | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
He was pulled from the water by rescuers, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
The Home Office has rejected Lancashire Police's request | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
for extra funding to staff the anti-fracking protests | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Government rules mean the force can only apply for extra cash once | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
the operation has exceeded 1% of its annual | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
budget, which amounts to ?2.6 million. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
The union representing guards on Merseyrail trains says talks | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
aimed at ending their dispute has broken down, which could lead | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Members of the RMT union have now walked out twice, | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
including on Grand National day, in protest at the planned | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
introduction of driver-only operated trains. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
A candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester has | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
defended his decision to record his manifesto in native | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Mohammed Aslam, who is standing as an Independent, says | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
he speaks several languages, but his decision has | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Does the new Mayor of Greater Manchester need | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
The BBC website gave each candidate a chance to do | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Independent candidate Mohammed Aslam decided to deliver his in Urdu. | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
A decision that's sparked some controversy. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
He says he did it because not everyone in the North | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Mr Aslam also says he speaks four languages and talks | :04:13. | :04:31. | |
to potential voters in whatever language they understand. | :04:32. | :04:52. | |
We've come to Chetham Hill, where Mr Aslam's from, | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
to find out what people here think about his decision. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
It would be beneficial for me if he said it in English. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
I think it is a good idea actually so his views get over to everybody, | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
not just people who understand English. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
It should be in English, it is for everyone. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
It's not only people who speak Urdu who live here, it's everyone. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Whether Mr Aslam will be able to get his message across remains | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The election takes place next Thursday 4th May. | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Juliet Phillips, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Well, some of the other candidates have been reacting to this story | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
tonight and I'm joined by our reporter Naomi Cornwell. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
We contacted every candidate standing to be mayor | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
Another independent candidate, Marcus Farmer told us: Mr Aslam's | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
decision to record his manifesto in Urdu is obviously | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
a measured decision based on the fact that he, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
and many others, think there is going to be a low turnout | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
"It's almost 200 years since the Peterloo massacre | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
so the best thing that proper Mancunians can do | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
The Green Party's candidate, Will Patterson said ours is an open | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
democracy open to everyone, regardless of whether English | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
But I do wonder how he can accurately represent the views | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
of people in Greater Manchester if he does not speak the language | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
used by the great majority of them to any great fluency." | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Ukip's candidate, Shneur Odze, said "It's great that we have people | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
of all backgrounds putting themselves forward for election. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
It would be preferable if he got some English classes, | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
but what I fear more is lack of integration in civic and communal | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
life, and I wish the media would speak about the real issues." | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
And for a full list of all those standing - | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
in both the Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Region Mayoral | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
Nearly half of people in the North West are putting | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
their lives at risk by ignoring a simple test. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
That's the warning from Bowel Cancer UK which wants more people that | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
Today Ben Ashworth, who has bowel cancer, | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
began a week of co-presenting Radio Lancashire's Breakfast | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
This is BBC Radio Lancashire, itis Graham and Ben at Breakfast... | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
The latest step in what Ben Ashworth calls his cancer journey. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Five years ago he was told he had bowel cancer and shortly afterwards | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
Today, he was trying to raise awareness of his illness. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
I have lost so many friends to bowel cancer and other cancers, | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
it is horrible and I think the more that can be done to raise | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Ben, a keen runner, has completed 24 marathons since his diagnosis. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
He was training for one when he first experienced symptoms | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
such as loose stools and unexpected weight loss. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
If we can try and help other people understand bowel cancer symptoms, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
the earlier people are diagnosed, in 90% of cases, if it is caught | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Bowel cancer is the nation's second biggest cancer killer, | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
If you're registered with a GP and aged 60-74, you will | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
receive a test in the post for free every two years, | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
but here in the North West on average only 53% of people | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
One, people might be embarrassed to do the test, two, | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
people might feel well, so there feel there is no need to do | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
the test and three, fear, people might not want to know. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Ben and his family were told last year that his cancer had returned. | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
He's currently undergoing further treatment to prolong his life. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
He has defied all statistics because normally statistics | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
for stage four disease is about two and half years so he has | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
doubled his statistics and one of the main reasons | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
We want to make sure other people enjoy their lives and don't have | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
to be facing five-year battle with stage four cancer. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
A campaign to widen the age group that are sent for free screening | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
tests, but in the meantime Ben Ashworth is deternmined to stay | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Yunus Mulla, BBC North West Tonight, Blackburn. | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
That's it from me, here's the weather. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
Good evening. This week is all about a big drop in temperatures. You will | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
have felt it by now. The start of the working week, very cold by day | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
and night. By Thursday, things start to feel a bit better. It is all | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
about this cold front that went through earlier today, allowed | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
through these cold winds. If you are just about to take the dog out it is | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
bitterly cold outside. Since we last spoke we have started to see some | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
wintry showers. That is the story through the night. Over the highest | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
hills there could be covering on the grass in the morning but for most of | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
us it is dry and very cold. Your temperatures for towns and cities to | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
and three Celsius. Rowley -2-macro. Tomorrow morning it will be cold but | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
the sunshine will be there from the word go. The cloud will build from | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
late one it through to the afternoon there could be some wintry showers | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
and again rain, hail, or a bit of snow. Away from them that cold | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
northerly wind. It will feel icy. A strong wind. The numbers don't look | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
too bad but at on the wind chill or take away a few degrees. When the | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
showers turn up the temperatures will fall further. We keep that | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
wintry feel as ago from Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday has | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
fewer showers but still bleeding cold at eight or nine Celsius. As we | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
go through Thursday and Friday things should settle down a bit. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
More cloud cover but acquire the picture. At the moment the weekend | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
looks like it will be cloudy at times but it should be mainly dry. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
Good night. course, there'll be the threat of | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
some rain. More with the national forecast now. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
Good evening. It's been turning colder from the north so far today. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
It's been cold enough for significant snow in northern | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Scotland. This was mid afternoon. More recently it's been blowing | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
around over the tops of the mountains. Snow in April not | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
necessarily unusual but it's usually unwelcome. The colder air coming in | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
behind the front which clears towards the near continent, opening | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
the floodgates to this Coldstream of air all the way from the Arctic. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
That cold air increasingly cold air will spread its way across all parts | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
tonight and will be with us tomorrow and Wednesday as well. A cold night | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
ahead of us. A widespread frost developing and further wintry | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
showers. Most in Scotland and the north-east of England too. Cold | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
winds as well. Maybe a few wintry showers in Northern Ireland and | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Wales, maybe the odd few into the Midlands. Clear skies, windy and | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
cold. Major | :12:01. | :12:01. |
