Good evening. Welcome to the programme. Our top story - full | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
steam ahead. The Government says it wants to approve full cruise | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
facilities for Liverpool. We'll report from Liverpool and the | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
cruise rival, Southampton. Also, getting to the heart of the matter. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
Why we are more likely to die from heart disease than anywhere else in | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
England. Bricks coming down on that side and then another crowd from | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
the back. Remembering Moss Side's worst moments. 30 years on, we talk | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
to those involved in the riots. The fire's gone out - Ricky hat on | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
hangs up his gloves. -- Hatton hangs up his gloves. There is no | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:07. | ||
fire burning. Liverpool's long fight with Southampton to bring | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
full cruise liner facilities to its iconic waterfront has taken a giant | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
step forward. At the moment, cruise ships can only call into Liverpool, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
but the council wants approval to start an end cruises at the new | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
terminal. That's because each ship's visit would be worth �1 | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
million to the city. Today, those hopes came a lot closer to being | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
realised when the Government stepped in and appeared to favour | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
Liverpool. Jane Barrett is at the Peer Head. -- Pier Head. Imagine | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the journeys that have started. People arriving and heading out | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
into the world. Now let me show you the modest entrance to the terminal. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
Let me tell you that nobody steps out into the world from there, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
because you can't start or stop a cruise from this terminal. This is | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
something that the council has fought over the last few years and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
today with an announcement from the Minister of Shipping they could | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
come close to making that change. Public cash paid for the terminal, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
which brought the Queen Mary to Liverpool and public cash can't be | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
seen to give Liverpool a competitive edge, so here's the | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
deal - Liverpool will pay back some of the funds, �5 million back into | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the public purse and liners come back. It's good enough for the | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
Government. I think it will bring growth and a level playing field | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
and competition to the great city. This growing market in cruises | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
means there is need for growth. Will it be good enough for | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Southampton? Not likely, so today begins a three-month consultation. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
A final decision next year. The city already has turn-around | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
facilities half a mile down the road. It's no pretty and it's | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
plagued by problems in bad weather. The will consons from the Isle of | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Man know only too well. They shared their holiday snaps with us after | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
being stranded there for three days. Speaking today, from a narrow boat | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
holiday they hoped for the best. can come to the city centre and be | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
part of what will be a great cruise terminal that is easy to use, | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
rather than an unspeakable cruise terminal out in the middle of an | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
industrial dockland area. There is an opportunity to create massive | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
new numbers of jobs and regeneration of the waterfront area | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
and the Government recognises that. Come next year, they hope for a | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
return of the glory days of the Pier Head. Southampton has 65% of | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the market share. Liverpool only 5%. Liverpool say they are not wanting | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
to steal trade from Southampton, but add to the total volume. They | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
reckon there are plenty of people who can't be bothered to travel to | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Southampton. Let's hear the view from Southampton and our reporter | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
there Paul Clifton. Southampton is the dominant player in Britain's | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
cruise market. This terminal is one of four. A fifth is planned. That's | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
another �30 million of private investment. The view here is that | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
the state-funded terminal in Liverpool cannot be allowed to | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
compete with private investment here. Unless, the whole of the �21 | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
million of public money is refunded, they say, it's unfair competition. | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
The port owners are talking to their lawyers. All quiet from | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Liverpool City Council today after a vocal campaign. Perhaps they | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
don't want to rock the boat if you pardon the pun. They are within | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
touching distance of getting what they want. The minister will have | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
to weigh up with Liverpool's interests and a decision is | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
expected next year. More people die from heart disease here in the | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
north-west than any other part of the UK. According to the charity | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Heart UK Tameside and Glossop has the highest mortality rate in the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
country, nearly four times higher than in parts of London. The number | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
of deaths has almost halved since 199, but still the divide persists. | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
In a few moments we'll ask NHS North West what more can be done, | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
but first this report. David Wright was brought to Wythenshawe Hospital | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
with a suspected heart attack. A test found he had a weak heart | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
muscle. Heart disease at the age of 40. You don't know what will happen | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
next. The medication will control things, but you think you are going | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
to have to take them for the rest of your life and probably another | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
40 years. More people die from heart disease here in the north- | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
west than anywhere else in England. 94% in every 100,000, far higher | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
than the national average. Bearing in mind, it is coming down, it's | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
almost halved since 1998, but still the divide remains. The charity | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Heart UK says it's Tameside and Glossop who have the highest | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
mortality rate. Almost four times as many as in Kensington and | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
Chelsea. Five of the ten worst death rates are here too. As well | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
as Tameside there is Blackburn with Darwen, Manchester Oldham and east | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Lancashire teaching PCTs. message is getting through slowly. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
The people think it won't happen to them. If, however, the people do | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
experience that a family member has heart disease or that they know | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
they've got poor lifestyles and they look around them and there are | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
lots of people with heart disease, they should think that they are at | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
risk too. James Fish is one of Dr Patel's patients and he was | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
diagnosed and treated earlier for his heart disease. The fact that | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
both of my parents had heart disease allowed me to think that it | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
could happen to me, so when I started developing chest pains I | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:24. | ||
didn't think in die jetion, but angina. Thank you very much. A | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
:07:34. | :07:35. | ||
short time ago, I spoke to Wendy Meredith from NHS North West. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
Things have improved because people are smoking less. The ban has | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
encouraged more people to stop smoking. Secondly, family doctors | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
across the north-west have been having a really concerted effort to | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
find people with the risk factors of heart disease and put them on to | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
treatment programmes, or encourage them to change their lifestyles, so | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
for example, if they have high blood pressure they've been | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
managing that and encouraging them to lose weight and stop smoking. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
are still worse than any other part of the country, which isn't that | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
good. Why should it be that way? Why can't we be more level? Well, | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
we have known for a long time that there's a really strong link | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
between health and wealth, so the healthier -- the wealthier you are | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
the healthier you are. Money doesn't mean you can't buy the | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
right foods, the health and vegetables and so on. They are | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
easily accessible and buyable. are not. You would think so. There | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
will be a shop near that sells fruit and vegetables. There are a | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
lot of areas where fresh fruit and vegetable are either difficult to | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
come by or much more expensive than you would find in your regular | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
supermarkets. That's just one example where we can make a | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
difference. There are things that food retailers can do in terms of | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
reducing fat and salt for example in their food. The fact remains, | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
there are lots of very healthy people who eat properly and have | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
good lifestyles in poor areas, which means there are a lot of | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
people who are ignoring all the advice and the health advice that | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
they are given from their doctors and so on. Why aren't they doing | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
what they should do and has the time come to be very strict with | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
them and say, "You have ignored the advice. Now you have a problem, you | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
pay yourself, not the NHS."? don't think so. That would be wrong | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
in a fair society. What we need to understand is the choices people | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
make are determined by the environments in which they live, so | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
actually there's much pour we can do to change those environments by | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
making it easier to walk places rather than getting in the car for | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
short journeys. There's lots of things we can still do to make the | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
choices easier for people. Thank you. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
More news from around the north- west now. Workers at BAE Systems in | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
Chadderton have been told their plant will close after Christmas, | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
bringing to an end Greater Manchester's 100-year-old aircraft | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
industry history. It has produced some of Britain's most iconic | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
aircraft. The company says 160 of the 200 employees will be offered | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
jobs at the plant in Lancashire. A paedophile who faked his own death | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
in Blackpool has been sentenced to seven years in prison. Leslie | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Andrews, who is 54, wanted people to believe he had drowned in the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
sea. He was arrested eight years later. He was convicted of 14 | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
counts of indecent assault against a young girl. The Government says | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
it will look into the dispeerpbgs of a Chester woman from a cruise -- | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
disappearance of a Chester woman from a cruise ship off the coast of | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Mexico. Rebecca Coriam was working on the ship in March when she | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
disappeared. It follows an appeal made by the local MP. Despite an | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
investigation by the authorities her family are awaiting news of her | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
-- their daughter. Could we have a debate on the safety and regulation | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
of cruise ships which would allow me to highlight the difficulties | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
faced by those trying to identify the facts and responsibilities | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
behind situations that occur at sea? A man accused of breaching the | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
terms of his ASBO has accused health workers of deliberately | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:45. | ||
provoking him to get him into Sean Gillhoole why arrived at court | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
with his shopping bags and inside various drugs. He was asked about | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
his illnesses. It took him three minutes to list them. They included | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
heart disease, osteoarthritis, a double hernia, hormone imbalance, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
personality disorder, Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder, bi-polar and | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
depression. Apart from that lot, etold the jury, he's OK. 2008 saw | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
health workers making complaints of abusive behave. He's accused of | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
breaking his ASBO. On one occasion, by throwing a form at a | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
receptionist and another by swearing at a health worker. He | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
told the court that medical staff had deliberately tried to wind him | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
up so he would break the terms. His own doctor, he said, had made | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
deliberate mistakes to prescriptions. I've been singled | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
out for special treatment perhaps because I'm called Gillhooley. He | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
denies five charges related to breaches of an ASBO. The trial | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
continues tomorrow. This week, we have been looking back at the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
fierce rioting that swept parts of the north-west 30 years ago. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Tonight, we focus on Manchester's Moss Side, where more than 1,000 | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
young people took to the streets. They were angry at unemployment and | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
policing. The actor Chris Bisson was a little boy growing up in Moss | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Side in 198. He's been taking a look back at what happened. 30 | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
years ago to this day I was stood on this street as a five-year-old, | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
watching something unfold on the road. I can see lots of people and | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
some fires. The events of those few days changed this community forever. | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :13:52. | ||
Crowds have been building up in Moss Side over many days. It was | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the summer of 1981. Unemployment was rising and some were the | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
tempers of the people in Moss Side. Of Tell me the problems. The police | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
and jobs. The police harass you. There will be loads of trouble. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Policing in this area was quite oppressive and I think that's what | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
people failed to actually recognise. People don't get up one day and way, | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
"We want to riot." There was graffitti on the gate post saying, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
"Help the police, beat yourself up." I thought we had a fairly good | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
rapport with the local population, so I was disappointed to think we | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
hadn't. Young people, both black and white felt they were being | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
unfairly targeted by the police using stop and search. The rate of | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
the unementploim was 66% of young school -- unemloiment was 66% of | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
young black school leavers. I go on to the streets and realising this | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
was not one or two pep, but a mass movement. We -- people, but a mass | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
movement. We shouldn't have done what we did, but it was kind of a | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
blessing. One of the main targets was the police station. The bricks | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
coming down on that side of the police station and before we knew | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
it, another crowd from the grass at the back. It was fairly frightening. | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
Had one PC who pannicked and grabbed -- and I grabbed hold of | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
him and he sunk to the fall. You can't have a constable who is | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
panicing as it spread. For days, one of the main roots was closed as | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
the cleanup began, but Moss Side was now on the political agenda. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
The Home Secretary paid a visit and an inquiry was set up to look at | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
the causes of the trouble. There was a defence committee, which said | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
they think it's a waste of time and then the Chief Constable refused to | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
- he said any Tom dick and Harry can come along and none of the | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
officers were allowed to give evidence. I was disappointed | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
because I felt as the boss that I had something to say, even though | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
it may not have agreed with what everybody else was saying. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
inquiry called for changes in police behaviour and concluded that | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
the riots happened because they were expected to happen. It was | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
happening in Liverpool and it was almost the sense of we need to show | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
we are are up for it like anyone else. I hope there are better | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
listeners, if that was one of the criticisms, so we were part of the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
community and not just that ogre of police officers who were trying to | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
deal with the trouble-makers. 450 people were arrested over that | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
period, but the lives of many, many more were affected and those events | :16:41. | :16:50. | |
back in 1981 would change the community I grew up in. Fascinating | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
to look back and tomorrow night Chris reports again, but tomorrow | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
night it will be on things how -- and how they've changed in Moss | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
Side. After months of speculation, Ricky Hatton brought his glittering | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
career in the ring to an end. Since his last fight two years ago, he | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
has at times been in the papers for the wrong reasons, including | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
photographs appearing to show him taking drugs, but for many, the | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
thrilling style and engaging personality have made him a | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
national hero. As we now report, he'll go down as one of Britain's | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
best-ever boxers. It's the end of an era. There's no fire burning. | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
I've done the game since I was ten years of age. A 12-year pro career | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
and all the hard fights and making weight. I think the best night was | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
the night I won the light welteweight title. In the end I | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
think he was shocked and in the end I kept on him and forcing the pace | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
and he quit at the end of the eleventh round and without a doubt | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
when you beat someone of that manner that was the best fight. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
aggressive style won him world titles at two different weights and | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
an army of fans. That was one of the proudest things ever and that | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
has got to be the saddest thing ever, near hearing that crowd again, | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
because it was - I don't think there's another fighter in Britain | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
who has ever heard a roar like the fans for me. I got to the stage | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
where the only thing left was to be the number one pound for pound and | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
to be the best in boxing period was something I really wanted to be so | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
badly and when it didn't come off I was devastated. I would like to | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
think I will be remembered as Ricky Hatton the world champion, but | :19:02. | :19:12. | |
:19:12. | :19:15. | ||
still one of us. Shame. Jason Robinson has announced he'll be | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
retiring. He standard wore Wigan Warriors and Sale Sharks has been | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
playing for Fylde and now decided to call it a day. John O'Shea has | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
left Manchester United for Sunderland. The Irishman who came | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
through the Old Trafford academy has signed a four-year deal. Heaz | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
been part of the squad for more than a decade -- he's been part of | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
the squad for more than a decade. It's often said that many young | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
people are playing on their computers. Part of the Olypmic | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
legacy, people will get free coaching in their sport of choice | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
and if they carry on with it they have the chance to win Olypmic | :19:59. | :20:09. | |
:20:09. | :20:13. | ||
tickets. Their enjoyment is obvious, but these days are so many things | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
competing for their interest. sit on PlayStations and X boxes to | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
stop us going out and being fit. don't like sport at school any more. | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
I became lazy and I wish I didn't. I regret it now. I should do more. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Volleyball and badminton are some of the sports on offer today. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Children are being encouraged to try a wide variety. We hope that | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
the state will ecourage the students who are semi-sporty to | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
take part in more sport after school or in clubs outside of | :20:43. | :20:53. | |
:20:53. | :20:55. | ||
school. Great Britain tangle tennis play Anthony is here to give advice. | :20:55. | :21:04. | |
I think it's good to get involved in sport. My own personal | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
experience is that there are a lot of people who want to get into | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
certain sports but because they are not mainstream they are not | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
provided for. If they stay active they'll be able to enter a draw for | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Olypmic tickets. That will be boss. It will provide a high profile and | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
something to work towards, so they look like they're involved adds | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
well. Over the next year we'll be back to see who regularly practises | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:47. | ||
and who wins the tickets. Next, over 40 years Candi Staton has made | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
30 albums and sung with Janet Jackson and luger van dross -- | :21:53. | :22:03. | |
:22:03. | :22:04. | ||
Luther Vandross. Young Heart Runs Free is a classic and tonight she | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
brings her sound to a small church in Manchester. She has been telling | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
us why she wanted to do it. We are going to be doing a little bit of | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
everything. It's like we are going to do a little Rosetta Thorpe. She | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
did one of her songs right here in Manchester and that's Feed Me Jesus. | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
We are going to do that tonight and a couple of other things. We'll do | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
Candi Staton You've Got The Love and Bridge Over Troubled Waters and | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
Momma. A song I wrote for my mother who passed away in 1979. We have | :22:50. | :22:59. | |
such a variety. I know everyone will enjoy it. The atmosphere is so | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
energetic, even down the street. You can feel the vibe in the air. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
People are here to have a great time and that's exactly what | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
they're going to get. Still looking glamorous. Performing as part of | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
the Sacred Sites Event. You can catch up with all the news on the | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:28. | ||
website. Now we have the weather website. Now we have the weather | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
with Eno. It's been a day of sun and showers, because of the low | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
circling around us. Tomorrow, we have the centre of that low above | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
us. It will bring rather unsettled conditions both for tomorrow and | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
also for Saturday. This afternoon, however, you can see that a rash of | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
showers is through the afternoon. That bright green was in Preston. | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
We saw ten millimetres of rain in a very short space of time. A lot | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
have eased away. One or two showers around. Tonight, that should | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
completely ease away, so we start off with a dry night with clear | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
skies. As we head into dawn, however, a mild night, but we are | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
going to see the rain slowly creeping up from the south-west. I | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
think temperatures generally are sticking in double figures. I have | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
to warn you, tomorrow we have a yellow Met Office warning for heavy | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
rain. Potentially 30 to 40 millimetres of rainfall in places | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
tomorrow. Yes, it starts off fairly wet in the morning from the south. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
That rain creeping up north and we'll see heavy pulses at times | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
through the afternoon. Then the rain breaks up into heavy showers. | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
Some thunder from time to time. The temperatures are in no great shape | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
for the time of July. Highs of 18 tomorrow and that rain clearing | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
north. The best of the sun by the late afternoon is likely to be in | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
the south of the region. As we he'd into the weekend, you can see the | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
low edging away from us, leaving dryer conditions for Sunday, so if | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
you have got plans to be outdoors for this weekend I think we'll see | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
a lot of showers on Saturday. Sunday could be the better day, but | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
temperatures will struggle to hit temperatures will struggle to hit | :25:21. | :25:22. | |

having a house rewired but on a huge scale. Manchester Airport is | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
replacing all of the light and surfacing along runway one. All | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
3,000 metres of it. Costing �21 million, it's their biggest | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
engineering project in 12 years and to minimise disruption, all the | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
work has to take place through the night. Nina packed her flask and | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
joined the team last night. It's coming up to 9.45pm and the runway | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
is looking more like a motorway. 120 weeks, carrying 170 staff | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
working through the night until 6am. Night after night, section by | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
section, chunks of this runway, the size of 20 footle ba pitches are | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:17. | ||
dug up. -- football pitches are being dug up. This is big. There's | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
no doubt about it. This is the biggest job we've done since runway | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
two, 12 years ago. It's a once-in- a-lifetime job. The show must go on. | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
60 flights will take off and leave each night to runway two, which is | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
metres from where the work is taking place. The planes must cross | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
runway one and it's Dave's job to warn the engineers are crossing by | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
flashing the light on the jeep. guys are not familiar with the | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
movements. It's a big responsibility? Absolutely. Is it | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
exciting being part of this big project? Absolutely. You can see it | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
all happening. I have an aircraft here to stop the traffic with. Bear | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
with me one second. Best be careful of the big plane. We'll get out of | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
his way! As tarmac's being ripped up, more is being laid. Every chunk | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
has to be left in perfect working order so morning flights can resume | :27:19. | :27:28. |
