A man has been charged tonight after a two-year-old girl was mauled | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
by dogs which got through a fence into her aunt's garden in Liverpool. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Two of the dogs known as American Bullies - | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
which are not a banned breed - have been destroyed. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
The toddler is in a serious, but not life-threatening condition | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
The two-year-old girl was playing with cousins in the garden | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
of a relative's home when she was attacked | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
She was taken by air ambulance to Liverpool Alder Hey Hospital | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
after suffering injuries to her head and body | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
The little girl's aunt, who was looking after the children | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
for the afternoon, fought off the attack and ran to | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Neighbours described hearing her scream, | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Merseyside Police believe the dogs got into the garden | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
This man lives right next door to where the dogs were kept. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
That's all you can say, really, it's shocking. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
You've never had any problems with the dogs next door? | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
No, no problems at all with any of the dogs. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Did you know there were so many dogs next door to you? | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
No, I thought he had a few, that's all. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
The animals were American Bully dogs, which are not a banned breed. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
11 dogs were seized, including six puppies. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Owning a dog of that nature is not in itself an offence. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
However, what is an offence is to have a dog that's dangerously | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
out of control in either a public place, and more recently the | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
legislation has changed so that if the offence | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
is committed in private, and that is the offence | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
which we are investigating at this moment in time. | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Tonight, 35-year-old Andrew McGowan was charged with allowing four dogs | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
He'll appear before Liverpool and Mersey Magistrates' Court tomorrow. | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
A pregnant woman from Blackpool has been killed in a crash in Thailand. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Local reports in Phuket say Sophie Emma Rose | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
was a passenger on a motorbike, which swerved to avoid a parked car | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
The 41-year-old is thought to have been around six months pregnant. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
The new inquest into the death of 13-month-old Poppi Worthington | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
The coroner has said it's due to a delay in granting legal aid | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
to the toddler's father, Paul Worthington. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
A family court judge previously said Poppi was probably sexually abused | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Mr Worthington has always strenuously denied it. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
The former Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk has resigned from the Labour Party. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
In a letter, he said the party was losing touch | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Mr Danczuk was suspended by Labour last year for sending explicit texts | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
Meanwhile, Labour has selected Tony Lloyd to replace Mr Danczuk | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
as their candidate for the Rochdale seat in the forthcoming | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Mr Lloyd has been Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner and | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
And we'll bring you the names of all the candidates for the seat | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
Staying with politics, and the region's two | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
new metro mayors lost no time in getting down to work today. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
We'll be hearing from Liverpool City Region mayor | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
First, our chief reporter Dave Guest was out early with Andy Burnham | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
in Greater Manchester,who's pledged to end | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Getting up in the morning at 5:30am... | :03:35. | :03:46. | |
William says he was attacked on Saturday night. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
I've always been a worker, I worked for 25 years. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
This is Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester's | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
newly installed mayor, meeting homeless people this morning. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
His office released these pictures as he launched his | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
What we will use it for is to create localised solutions in every | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
You put 15% of your salary into the fund, is that | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
That'll go in on a monthly basis for as long as I'm the mayor | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
What are you hoping the fund will achieve? | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
The end of rough sleeping in Greater Manchester by 2020. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Now, I'll be the first admit, that's quite an ambitious goal, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
but this is urgent, people out there need the help right now. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
Manchester City Council say those who want to help | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
But the mayor wants to ensure help's available to all throughout | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
The people out there are out there for many different reasons, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
We should, in this day and age, in my view, be able to put a roof | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
over every head, every night of the week. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
So, does William believe the mayor can make a difference? | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
You know, the only thing I can do is live in hope. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
OK, so rough sleeping is at the top of your agenda at present, | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
but there's lots of other things you've got to address, | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
and what are you going to do over the next year? | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
What three things do you hope to achieve or change | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
There will be announcements on young people's travel, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Number two, changes with respect to the buses and public transport. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
I'm going to get to work immediately, using the new powers | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
that I've got, to re-regulate the buses here in Greater Manchester. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
The third issue that I think people want to see a lot of change | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Of course, anyone starting a new job is going to be filled | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
with ideas and enthusiasm, and Greater Manchester's | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
But Andy Burnham will be judged very closely on just how | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Along the M62, the North West's other new metro mayor - | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
Labour's Steve Rotheram - also started work today. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
He officially took office in the Liverpool City Region. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The former bricklayer invited the Prime Minister | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
to come to Merseyside, and said he'd | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Being mayor of the Liverpool City Region is a brand-new job. | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
Though today's ceremony looked traditional enough. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
Steve Rotheram signed up at Wallasey Town Hall, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
important symbolically for a mayor representing six boroughs | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
And straight off, a challenge to the PM. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Come and visit me in our City Region during the campaign, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
so we can discuss real issues with real people. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
And negotiate a better devolution deal for our area. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
And who knows, if she comes, I might even buy her a bag of chips. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
A children's signing choir was at today's inauguration, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
but Labour are not singing from the same hymn sheet when it | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
comes to choosing Steve Rotheram's successor as Labour candidate | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
in the ultrasafe Walton Parliamentary seat. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
When he announced that he wouldn't be standing again as a MP, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Steve Rotheram said it was a significant misjudgement | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
by Labour not to have a local voice on the panel selecting | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
And yet that's precisely what's happened. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Now, some in the local party in Walton fear that | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Labour's national executive may impose a candidate on them. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
An official from the Unite union, Dan Carden, is one name | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
The elected Mayor of Liverpool City, not the City Region, | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
sent off his application to be the candidate in Walton. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
One thing we can't do is take for granted Labour | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
No matter where it is, Labour voters in Walton have been loyal | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
We asked people in Liverpool Walton if they would prefer | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
I would prefer someone from Liverpool, obviously, | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
but if they're proper Labour, I don't have a problem with that. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
I'd like it to be from Liverpool, but as long as they're | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
The new metro mayor, meanwhile, believes he can | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
do more for Merseyside from here than from Westminster. | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
Cheshire rider Emily Gilruth has suffered what's being described | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
as a traumatic brain injury, after falling during | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
The 40-year-old fell from her horse Topwood Beau | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
during the cross-country stage on Saturday. | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
She remains under sedation in hospital. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Work's starting this week on a ?2 million flood defence | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
In recent years, homes and businesses around | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
Castletown Harbour have been flooded during winter storms. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
A new boundary wall is being built to stop the water spilling | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Manchester City's creating a haven for under threat wildlife. The | :08:55. | :09:10. | |
reserve will be bigger than the current one. It is hoped the writer | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
creatures will be contained there. -- a variety of creatures. | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
That's all from me, let's leave you with a look at the weather. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Good evening. A lot of fine and dry weather over the last couple of | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
weeks. We started off really well today, lots of sunshine around, and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
when synthetic that great as well. The rain will return by Friday. | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
Patchy at first, per ticket holder through the weekend. The northerly | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
drift in the air has been chilly, and it becomes more northwesterly, | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
Celeste cold. Let until Friday as we get this whether creeping towards | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
us, and through the weekend there will be more of that. As we speak, | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
some breaks in the cloud cover, a 5050 split as we head into the | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
morning. Temperatures in towns and cities between five and 7 degrees. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Rurally, down to four. By the time we get up tomorrow, that cloud cover | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
will be thinning very nicely. The breeze is much lighter than today. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Into the afternoon, good, long spells of sunshine on offer. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
Temperatures around 13 degrees, but could be higher. Enter tomorrow | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
night, quite warm all over, temperatures holding up. When is it | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
looking good again. Some patchy cloud around every now and again. | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Similar story for Thursday, not too bad at all. The wind changing | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
direction again, 15 degrees is where we will be. Into Friday, the rain | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
comes towards us from this out. So some water for your garden. Through | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
the weekend, normal service resumed. will become drier and feel warm. Now | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
the National forecast. Good evening. A quiet day on the | :11:03. | :11:15. | |
weather front but we still managed to have some huge contrasts in the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
weather. This was a beautiful picture from Cumbria, blue skies and | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
crystal clear blue skies in Argyll and Bute but closer to the north | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
coast, it sends shivers down your spine! Chilly and cloudy all along | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
that cost this bank of cloud that sliced the country in half, cool and | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
cloudy to the east and to the West had sunshine. But it still been dry | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
and it will stay that way for most of the week. As we get into Friday, | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
there is some rain on the way. In the short-term, not much happening | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
in the next few hours, quite a bit of cloud in most of England and | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Wales but many northern and western parts, the stars are out. | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
Temperatures not | :12:03. | :12:04. |
