themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--All the Covid data Greater Manchester STILL needs from the government

Greater Manchester is still waiting for a raft of detailed Covid data from the government despite repeated pleas from senior local politicians and public health directors .
At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon Andy Burnham is set to reiterate a raft of missing information , in particular highlighting a lack of patient-identifiable , real-time test results from government-procured commercial laboratories .
He is also set to again point out that public health directors in town halls are legally entitled to the data .
Clamour for the information has grown among local authorities in recent weeks , with mayors including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Peter Soulsby and Salford ’ s Paul Dennett all writing to government arguing that without it , their public health departments will be unable to effectively monitor and contain the disease .
Officials want the same information they would legally receive about any other ‘ notifiable ’ disease - such as TB or measles - in order to take preventative action and squash any outbreaks .
Under normal circumstances they would be told exactly who has tested positive for the disease in question as soon as possible .
At present they are not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and are only receiving anonymised statistics once a week .
Last week the Department of Health and Social Care told the M.E.N .
it provides ‘ individual ’ level data to councils and denied Mr Burnham ’ s claim that the necessary information was not being passed on due to concerns about patient confidentiality .
However , while the data provided does now includes part of a positive person 's home postcode , it is still anonymised , meaning public health officials remain unable to map out exactly who has Covid .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers and dates of birth of anyone testing positive under ‘ pillar two ’ of the government ’ s testing programme , which has been beset with problems for months .
One senior source said ‘ the local context ’ was vital to being able to prevent the disease ’ s spread , rather than a ‘ simplistic one size fits all solution ’ led nationally , meaning full information had to be provided to councils with expertise in fighting epidemics on the ground .
`` The data is still not timely , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In the meantime they are also not receiving most information on the ethnicity of those testing positive through the commercial system , with Greater Manchester missing up to 90pc of that data in some places .
Last week the Department of Health and Social Care told the M.E.N .
ethnicity information has been collected since May 21 , but that some people decline to fill out that part of the form .
Multiple sources spoken to within the public health system expressed skepticism about that being the reason for the data vacuum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I very much doubt it.
” Councils are also missing information on where those with positive results work , again making it harder for them to take swift action .
This afternoon Mr Burnham will hold a joint press conference with Liverpool City Region ’ s mayor Steve Rotheram , at which he will again highlight the lack of data and the requirement - under law - for public health directors to have exact information on who has tested positive for Covid in their area .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--MP hits out at ITV boss over The Jeremy Kyle Show

The boss of ITV has been forced to defend the now defunct Jeremy Kyle Show in stand-off with MP .
ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall was speaking at the second session of the Digital , Culture , Media and Sport Committee 's inquiry into the future of public service broadcasting when questions on the controversial talk show arose .
When asked if she was ‘ proud ’ to head up the company that ran The Jeremy Kyle Show for more than a decade , Dame Carolyn responded : `` It was a highly regulated show , it was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to everyone 's tastes .
`` It may surprise you to know that I actually got hundreds of emails complaining about stopping the show when we stopped it because they thought it was their own outlet of being able to listen and understand problems that were in their own lives . ''
But MP Julian Knight , who is chair of the Digital , Culture , Media and Sport Committee accused the show of `` baiting '' its guests and slammed it as being `` outrageous '' .
Referring to clips of behind-the-scenes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chairman Julian Knight said : “ Frankly they are outrageous , these were people who were taken off screen and presented with an individual who was meant to be a psychiatric counsellor and they were filmed during these processes .
`` They were baited over a long period of time .
My jaw is dropping at the lack of contrition here from ITV and from yourself as a chief executive . ''
When Dame Carolyn pointed out that the show was on air for 15 years and more than a million people watched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Knight continued his argument against the programme .
`` The Roman Coliseum held 55,000 , it doesn ’ t mean because it was popular it was right . ''
The ITV chief executive said : `` It has been regulated for 15 years , '' to which Mr Knight replied : `` Not well enough . ''
He added : `` I 'm just astounded that you don ’ t accept the premise that this programme itself , although it ran for 15 years and seemingly was highly popular , it involved the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ psychological exposure of very vulnerable people to often public… people who were out there in the public domain who should have not been in the public domain .
`` I 'm just surprised you ca n't see that perhaps that was the wrong step and perhaps ITV should have ended it earlier , and perhaps we shouldn ’ t see its like on TV again . ''
Responding , Dame Carolyn told the DCMS Committee : `` It had not been criticised in the way that you ( just ) criticised it over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot has changed ; I think if you look at the show today you wonder how it could have been on for so long – I agree with you – but a lot has changed in that intervening period . ''
She also ruled out a return of the programme , or anything similar , after it was reported there would be '' I 'm proud of a range of things ITV does , I 'm proud of ITV .
That particular show did polarise opinion , everyone on that show knew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ informed consent , it was adults , they went through a screening and vetting process , they went through quite a lot of hoops before they went on that show , but it was conflict resolution – it was not always comfortable to view , yet people viewed it .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--Manchester United have been reminded of what they need in the transfer market

In the end it was probably one game too many , and having gambled by naming an unchanged team for the fifth successive Premier League fixture , Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has wedged himself into a corner in a defining week of Manchester United 's season .
Solskjaer was subscribing to the mantra of `` if it ai n't broke do n't fix it '' by asking these 11 players to go again , the first time United have done that in the league in more than 27 years .
Given the nature of the schedule during the Premier League 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a risk .
Those five games have come in the space of 20 days on the back of a three-month hiatus .
There was also a danger that those exertions would catch up with this team and eventually the dice would stop rolling for Solskjaer .
So it proved against an obdurate and aggressive Southampton side at Old Trafford .
United looked to have got away with a shaky start and a nervous finale until Michael Obafemi bundled a corner home in the sixth minute of stoppage time .
The pressure had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the final stages , a natural outcome given the amount of football this side have played recently .
United have certainly benefitted from a kinder fixture list than most in the first few weeks of the season 's restart , but that ends this week .
The Southampton fixture was the first of five in 14 days that will define the season and rotation was always going to be necessary .
The way this side tailed off on Monday suggested it 's now an absolute must at Crystal Palace , yet the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was claiming the victory and moving into third place , giving United a margin of error in their final three league games against the Eagles , West Ham and Leicester City .
Now that has gone .
United are still fifth and while they have their destiny in their own hands , they might need to win all three league games to secure Champions League football next season .
One more slip-up could be fatal to those top-four hopes .
That is the balance Solskjaer has to strike while trying to also pick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Sunday 's FA Cup semi-final .
You can understand Solskjaer 's reluctance to change a winning team , but perhaps there would have been more faith in doing just that if he had a deeper squad available .
The disjointed and disappointing performance in needing extra-time to edge past Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter-final , when he made eight changes , remains fresh in the memory .
That 's a Norwich side who have been the league 's whipping boys since the season resumed .
So it would be understandable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in some of those back-up options , but they need to be trusted now to give the key men a valuable break , or at least use them from the bench if required .
What the draw with Southampton and the lack of changes told us is that this is a squad that still is n't deep enough to be competing on all fronts .
The first XI , with a few questions marks over the back four , have found a nice balance and have been producing consistently high performances , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apart from the rest is still missing .
Right now the drop off when some of those key men , such as Bruno Fernandes , Paul Pogba , Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial , are rested is just too high , which is partly why Solskjaer would have felt he could n't take that risk on Monday night .
This summer is going to be a transfer market fraught with difficulty as clubs count the cost of lost revenues .
United will strengthen their ranks if they land top target Jadon Sancho , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be looking to strengthen the bench as well , so that next time rotation is required there 's more faith in those stepping up .

Pep Guardiola will give his reaction to the news that Manchester City have won their appeal against a European ban and will play in next season’s Champions League.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) agreed with the Blues that Uefa’s decision to throw them out of their competitions for “serious breaches” of their financial fair play rules and their club licensing rules, as well as alleged non-cooperation, was wrong.
The CAS statement said: "The CAS award emphasized that most of the alleged breaches reported by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB were either not established or time-barred.
"As the charges with respect to any dishonest concealment of equity funding were clearly more significant violations than obstructing the CFCB’s investigations, it was not appropriate to impose a ban on participating in UEFA’s club competitions for MCFC’s failure to cooperate with the CFCB’s investigations alone."
Their judgement has instantly led to fans hoping for a major summer overhaul under Pep Guardiola.

This afternoon Andy Burnham and Liverpool city region’s mayor Steve Rotheram will hold a press conference on the ongoing impact of coronavirus in their areas.
Both mayors are set to provide a more in-depth response to the Chancellor’s summer financial statement last week, in which he announced a further package of measures for people at risk of job loss.
Greater Manchester’s mayor is also likely to press the government again on the public health data councils still need from ministers, including patient-identifiable test results, so they can track and contain the virus.
The two mayors have periodically held press conferences throughout the crisis, at various points calling on government for transport funding bail-outs, more support for town halls and more transparency over Covid levels in the North West.
Since their last briefing, Leicester has been placed into lockdown by the health secretary, so the implications of that move are also likely to be a theme at today’s press conference.
Local authority leaders and mayors across the country remain concerned about how decisions are made around localised lockdowns, including the availability of real-time, transparent, accurate data on positive cases, while also fearing the economic impact such moves can have.
South Liverpool has recently seen a spike in cases among younger people, prompting an increase in mobile testing and leading the city’s director of public health to warn people to take care, while Rochdale and Oldham both have among the higher infection rates nationally - although in both cases their rates have been falling.
Today’s press conference will take place at 12.45pm, with the weekly Greater Manchester update - including the latest infection rates - taking place as usual tomorrow.

Pep Guardiola says every top-ten club that tried to get involved in Manchester City 's hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport ( CAS ) should be delighted with the decision .
Eight clubs - so all bar the Blues themselves and Sheffield United - made a joint application to CAS before a date had been set asking that City be unable to delay the process in order to play in the Champions League next season .
City had n't asked to do it , and the letter had negligible legal value , but such a statement showed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ determined not to allow them to bend the rules .
City had always said that they wanted the appeal to be heard as soon as possible , and the delay to the football season has allowed the case to go ahead even earlier than expected .
The verdict came on Monday - well before the end of the Premier League season and the Champions League draw for next year - with the Blues cleared to compete after the main charge against them was dismissed .
Speaking for the first time since the decision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been that so many clubs had been going behind their back .
He reserved extra surprise that champions Liverpool were involved , perhaps because their Champions League place was already secure , and went on to say that every club that signed the application to CAS must be happy to have the speedy resolution that they called for .

The coach has not ruled out staying even longer at the Etihad, but has said that there will be time to discuss that at the end of the season.

"This club is incredibly solid with Pep and without Pep. So don’t be troubled," he said. "This club had success before my arrival here, with Mancini and with Pellegrini they won a lot of titles and they played really good football.
"Without me, when I leave - I don’t know when that will be - the structure of the club wants to grow and to be solid. This is the most important thing. And they have incredible players. We have it and we want to keep it, we have to reinforce as much as we can, because we have a lot of money.

"
Guardiola spent large chunks of his first press conference since the decision defending his organisation from the criticism that continues to come their way from rivals, with the manager accusing the traditionally elite sides of being uncomfortable with City's rise and telling them to be more upfront in future if they had an issue with anything.
Having promised to accept the decision if it went against the Blues, City's manager spoke fondly of the set-up at the Etihad where he is frank with his bosses whenever he is unhappy with anything.
That process works both ways, and rather than talking about a new contract Guardiola is currently more concerned with getting back into the good books with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak after falling so far behind Liverpool in the title race.
"I love this club. I love, because I know the people here and I'm working for a long time. We have our history. I don't know if it's better or worse, it doesn't matter, it's our history. I love it. I like it. I like to work with the people I'm working with, I like it," he said.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-07-14--Carers assaulted by thug throwing 'unknown liquid' on them

Two carers have been left terrified after they say a thug threw an 'unknown liquid ' over them during an 'unprovoked attack ' in a car park .
The carers say they were left with 'itching skin ' for hours and were forced to take days off work after the frightening assault .
The pair were on shift in Bury in full uniform on Friday , July 10 , at around 5pm and stopped off to purchase a drink at Prestwich Tesco in Valley Park Road .
The two women , aged 20 and 47 , were waiting at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they say they then heard a man shouting and swearing behind them .
The 20-year-old carer from Radcliffe , who wished not to be named , told the Manchester Evening News : `` It was just me and my colleague in the car .
I do n't know what set this man off .
`` We were pulling out of Tesco while on shift and he was behind us , he started beeping and swearing .
`` We ignored him and drove on to a set off traffic lights where we stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appeared alongside the carers ' car .
He threw a liquid from a bottle through the open window at the pair sat inside , said the 20-year-old .
`` The window was half down at the time , it was a warm day .
We got to the lights and the next minute , we turned around and this liquid - whatever it was - had been just thrown all over me , my colleague and my car , '' said the Radcliffe carer .
`` It nearly caused me to crash into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't expect something like that to happen - it shocked me - so I started turning away and a bus was coming towards us .
`` It could have been even more serious if we were any closer to that bus . ''
The carers believe the incident was a case of road rage .
`` It was just very unprovoked .
I think he was getting mad at the amount of cars , '' said the community carer .
`` It was very busy at the time and I wanted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the junction .
I was trying to turn out into the right-hand lane but there were loads of cars coming .
`` Clearly I just was n't moving out fast enough for him .
He just sped off afterwards . ''
Their skin was left itching for hours , said the carer : `` For the rest of the night , our skin was itching like mad .
`` We were itching all night .
We know it was n't acid because it was n't burning and we 're very thankful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it actually was .
`` It shook us up very much .
We were shaking for the rest of our shift .
The instant we got back home we had a shower and washed our clothes down .

Two carers have been left terrified after they say a thug threw an 'unknown liquid' over them during an 'unprovoked attack' in a car park.
The carers say they were left with 'itching skin' for hours and were forced to take days off work after the frightening assault.
The pair were on shift in Bury in full uniform on Friday, July 10, at around 5pm and stopped off to purchase a drink at Prestwich Tesco in Valley Park Road.
The two women, aged 20 and 47, were waiting at a busy junction to leave the car park when they say they then heard a man shouting and swearing behind them.
The 20-year-old carer from Radcliffe, who wished not to be named, told the Manchester Evening News : "It was just me and my colleague in the car. I don't know what set this man off.
"We were pulling out of Tesco while on shift and he was behind us, he started beeping and swearing.
"We ignored him and drove on to a set off traffic lights where we stopped again."

Suddenly, the man appeared alongside the carers' car. He threw a liquid from a bottle through the open window at the pair sat inside, said the 20-year-old.
"The window was half down at the time, it was a warm day. We got to the lights and the next minute, we turned around and this liquid - whatever it was - had been just thrown all over me, my colleague and my car," said the Radcliffe carer.
"It nearly caused me to crash into a bus. Of course, you don't expect something like that to happen - it shocked me - so I started turning away and a bus was coming towards us.
"It could have been even more serious if we were any closer to that bus."

The carers believe the incident was a case of road rage.
"It was just very unprovoked. I think he was getting mad at the amount of cars," said the community carer.
"It was very busy at the time and I wanted to be as safe as possible when pulling out of the junction. I was trying to turn out into the right-hand lane but there were loads of cars coming.
"Clearly I just wasn't moving out fast enough for him. He just sped off afterwards."

Their skin was left itching for hours, said the carer: "For the rest of the night, our skin was itching like mad.
"We were itching all night. We know it wasn't acid because it wasn't burning and we're very thankful for that but we have no idea what it actually was.
"It shook us up very much. We were shaking for the rest of our shift. The instant we got back home we had a shower and washed our clothes down.
"We were also worried because we're carers that go into people's homes and give people whatever care they need - if he spat into that liquid and had coronavirus, we could have got it and potentially passed it on."
The risk of coronavirus means the pair have had to be tested in the wake of the incident. They have also been forced to stay off work as they wait for their results.
The two carers have been working tirelessly throughout the pandemic and say they have been treated with respect by the community for their efforts - the attack was a complete shock, say the carers.
"People have been so nice to us in the last few months and then this happens. We're just disgusted and so shocked," said the Radcliffe carer.
Police are investigating the incident and are treating it as an assault, according to the carer.
"I think it will have some long-term effects on me going out driving again," she added.
"I won't be going to that Tesco in future. I don't want to run into him again."

Alvarez slams ‘disloyal’ De Gea
Manchester United’s former goalkeeping coach has hit out at David de Gea after reflecting on his Old Trafford exit.
Emilio Alvarez first worked with De Gea at Atletico Madrid and was brought to Manchester to renew his relationship with the goalkeeper in 2016.
But Alvarez left the club last September, shortly after De Gea had signed a new contract and Richard Hartis had returned to United as a goalkeeping coach.
"After almost three years with lots of work and meetings with United to renew him and to make him the best-paid player in the world, I learned that he had renewed behind my back," Alvarez told AS .
"Honestly, it felt like a lack of loyalty. During negotiations, he also had a falling out with the person who had carried out all the talks in order for him to be paid what he was paid. And at the last minute, someone else meddled. I insisted that I didn't like that because it seemed disloyal.
"I asked David why he didn't say anything to me and he said that he was told not to say anything to anybody. This had an impact on me. The way I understand my profession is that you can't help someone develop if you do not have total confidence with them and that's why I decided to leave United."
Pogba and Fernandes remain defiant
Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes have sent defiant messages after United’s 2-2 draw with Southampton on Monday.
Michael Obafemi’s stoppage-time equaliser denied United a fifth consecutive victory and kept Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men outside the top four.
United’s fate remains in their own hands and victories over Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Leicester City would guarantee them Champions League football next season.
And Pogba and Fernandes have both insisted that United remain fully focused on achieving their goal.
"The victory has escaped, but we’ll remain united and focused for the next 3 games,” Pogba wrote on Instagram.
His thoughts were echoed by Fernandes, who used the same social media platform to state: "Not the result we wanted, but we're going to continue the hard work and focus already on the next game! #MUFC."
Scholes still backing top-four finish
Paul Scholes believes United will still qualify for the Champions League despite the slip-up against Southampton.
The race for a place in the top four could go down to the wire after Obafemi’s late strike at Old Trafford.
Despite dropping points against the Saints, Solskjaer’s side are in better form than both Chelsea and Leicester, and Scholes has backed his former club to get over the line .
"I don't think it's changed that much," he said, while working as a pundit on Premier League Productions.
