Hello and welcome to this afternoon's Our Liverpool.
Since our last Our Liverpool there've been a few developments in breaking news from throughout the region, with police releasing a picture of a man they want to speak to after a woman was punched in Baa Bar on Fleet Street, and naming suspects in relation to a huge police incident on Saturday that saw officers flood a street in Southport.
But perhaps our biggest story of the day, so far at least, comes out of Aintree Hospital.
But first, I don't want Our Liverpool to be a one-way conversation, so if you've got any questions or queries - please do get in touch at remy.greasley@reachplc.com, drop me a comment or message me on Twitter at @remygreasley.

Major hospital made of 'chocolate Aero' concrete
It has come to light that the hospital is one of 34 throughout the country built using a special type of cheap concrete containing air bubbles.
A former NHS trust boss described the concrete as like a "like a ticking time bomb," due to its relatively short 30-year lifespan. A spokesperson for the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust told the ECHO that "work is underway" to remedy the problem. Patrick Edrich has the story.
'I give up lad' - said man who tried to rob a bank
The thug's resignation statement came after he failed to rob a bank and a post office in two days before being arrested. Adam Gilbert held a Halifax customer service assistant and later a pregnant woman at a post office at imitation gunpoint as he demanded money from them, unsuccessfully.
Gilbert's defence in court said he was "ashamed of himself for these actions." Julian Nutter, defending, said he was "robbing them to pay for his own funeral" and planned on ending his own life.
'Cult like' company 'didn't pay staff for 15-hour shifts'
Former employees at Generation, a sales company founded in Liverpool have claimed their former employer subjected them to scenes similar to "something out of the Wolf of Wall Street." The ex-staff said their mental health suffered as a result of the work, and that they were often left unpaid despite long hours.
It was claimed that one 22 year old woman worked a whole gruelling month at the firm but was never paid.
