Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story: their | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Berber's astonishing Christmas shopping list. Police issue a | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
warning to prevent crime rising over the festive period -- a | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
burglar's. If I have never seen anything like it and it is a great | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
insight. We will also hear from a business attacked twice in a matter | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
of weeks. Also, shedding staff will not help. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
An MP calls for stability as the chairman of a crisis torn hospital | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Trust steps down. Heads rolling does not help anybody. Things are | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
changing helps people. The teenager told she was pregnant only for a | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
scan to reveal a rare too much. It is a Banksy but perhaps not as | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
you know it. Why the mysterious artist has made a controversial | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
statement about Christmas in Liverpool. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
I am in Blackpool where they can has opened up a brand new wedding | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
:01:11. | :01:21. | ||
As Christmas lists go, it was pretty comprehensive. A prolific | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
burglar had jotted down details of the addresses he intended to target, | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
the tools he would need and the objects he wanted. Greater | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Manchester police have made it public to learn to us to the way | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
thieves operate. It is part of their drive to reduce crime over | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
the festive season, a time of year when burglars work overtime. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
It is the season for making lists, but this list is more sinister than | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
most. Headed, blind up graphs, it itemises homes eight Barbara wants | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
to target. -- homes a burglar wants to target. I have never seen | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
anything like it. It is a great insight to see the mindset of | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
burglars. The list has landed a man in jail. It was published by the | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
police to warn homeowners of how thieves operate at this time of | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
year. In the run-up to the festive season, there is a big increase in | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
burglaries, especially when residents believe doors open. This | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
is a typical example. We have got a window open, there is a flat roof | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
next to it with a drainpipe. This is ideal for a burglar. As you can | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
see, there is no alarm. The curtains are not drawn up, there is | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
no getting, you can see straight in. There is a Christmas tree there | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
with expensive presents underneath. It is not only homes that attract | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
special attention during the festive season. This garden centre | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
near Ormskirk has been targeted twice. It is very seasonal stock | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
that is crucial to our business. In terms of value, we are looking at | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
�25,000 that we have lost. police say they do not want to | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
scare people, just make sure they remain vigilant over this relaxed | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
period of the year. The chairman of the troubled | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust has resigned. He is the second senior | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
figure in a matter of weeks to leave the Trust which runs | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
hospitals in Kendal, Barrow and Lancaster. The Trust is already the | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
focus of a police investigation, it two NHS monitoring groups and more | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
than 800 patients missed out on urgent or high priority | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
appointments because of problems with a booking system. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
This is Professor Eddie Kane. He was a chair of the Trust's board | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
and will today responsible for the conduct of all of its hospitals. He | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
is now leaving for a new job but it comes at a difficult time. Even his | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
departure according to some is not enough to set things right. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
resignation is not good enough in the sense that people will say, if | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
heads roll, that is the end of the matter. Heads are rolling does not | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
help anybody. Things change in will help people and bringing back the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
two services to Kendal hospital would make a world of difference. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
What position is the Trust in? The maternity unit at Furness General | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
is still being investigated by the police. They are looking into the | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
deaths of a number of babies including Joshua Titcombe. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Meanwhile, the NHS regulators clue are so concerned about the Trust | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
are waiting to see if they need to take that action or a specialist | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
teams brought in to help cannot -- can improve things enough. How do | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
local people feel? It depends what was wrong with me. If I had to have | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
an I would try to go out of the town. I have a disabled daughter | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
and I have had some really bad experiences there. Other times I | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
have had good experiences. They work extremely good and referred me | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
to another general hospital and I have been very satisfied. The GP is | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
great. I have no complaints. also know that more than 800 | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
patients missed a bronze are probably months because of problems | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
with the Trust's booking system. We are still waiting for details of | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
just how serious they are delays -- those delays are. For now, someone | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
else will carry out Professor Eddie Kane's duties. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
She knew she could not be pregnant but when 16-year-old Phoebe Quatre- | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Morgan's doctor told her she was an cent have far an ultrasound scan, | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
she went anyway. It showed that a bank was not a baby but a life | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
threatening to much. Phoebe was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
is one of the youngest in the region to suffer with the disease. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
This Christmas will be very different to last for Phoebe and | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
her mum was up 12 months ago, she was in the middle of chemotherapy | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
treatment for ovarian cancer. That can serve was diagnosed as | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
constipation by doctors at A&E and her GP told her that it was a baby. | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
She told me that I was quite far gone through my pregnancy. She was | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
not listening when I said that I could not be pregnant. I was upset | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
that I left the room. She said, I will tell you what it is, shall I? | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
She said, it's a baby. She said she was 20 weeks. At this point, I am | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
thinking, it can't be. It wasn't. The next day, Phoebe's scan | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
revealed a -- not a baby but a tumour. NHS Bolton said it was not | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
aware of the case and would investigate with the GP practice | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
involved. The latest figures show that last year 6500 women were | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
diagnosed with ovarian cancer but four out of every five sufferers | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
are over 50 years old. That meant that when she came here to | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Manchester's Christie Hospital, she was one of the youngest patients. | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
could not tell her. I found it really hard. I am extremely proud | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
of Phoebe. I have taken a lot of strength from have. She never cries. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
She has had to be the cancer twice but has now been given the all- | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
clear although a hysterectomy means she can never have her own children. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Sometimes it does not feel real but it is and I have come out the other | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
side a better person, stronger, I know what I want in life. She has | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
decided that she wants to study hard fight place at university. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
No wonder her mum is so proud. A I wish her well. | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
In other news, a French court heard today that a Lancashire woman whose | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
body was found in her car in a late had fled her marital home because | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
she feared violence. Robert Lund from Darwen is standing | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
trial for a third time. He killed his wife Evelyn. Marianne Ramsey | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
was the last person to see her alive and told her -- and said that | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
she told her of various incidents in which her husband had been | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
violent. They were men has admitted stealing | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
photographs from Wayne Rooney. Senior on the right, she says she | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
knew that her boyfriend had stolen the photos which were offered up | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
for sale back to Wayne Rooney. Three people will be sentenced in | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
January. Ryan Giggs has accepted that there | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
was no basis for accusing Imogen Thomas of blackmail. She took legal | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
action after the Sun accuse her of having the affair with a footballer | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
that was later revealed to be Ryan Giggs. He had sought an injunction | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
preventing his name being published after the article appeared and said | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
he had suspected she may sell her story. She said she was vindicated. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
A Cheshire MP has urged the government to help elderly people | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
in south Cheshire who feel they are paying too much and service charges | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
in retirement homes. The MP for Crewe and Nantwich raised the issue | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
in need Commons today. Can you find time such a debate on the | :09:24. | :09:33. | |
regulation of service charges? They are often on fixed incomes and not | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
properly consulted by the providers of the accommodation about the | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
services they require and also the services they can afford. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
format Bury North MP jailed following expenses scandal has been | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
handed a bill of more than �46,000 in legal fees. David Chaytor was | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
released from prison in May after serving 18 months for fiddling his | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
expenses. Today a judge ordered him to pay just over 20 be �1,000 in | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
both legal-aid and prosecution costs. -- just over �23,000. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
You might be getting ready for panic Saturday if you have not done | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
your Christmas shopping. For consumers, the high street is | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
desperate for them. We have been looking at some of the big economic | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
numbers this week and today it is the turn of retail figures. | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
Surprise surprise, they are down. What are you, week, all of us, what | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
are we spending? She went to Warrington's Golden Square Shopping | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
:10:47. | :10:52. | ||
It is a buyer's market out there but the problem is not enough are | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
buying. How is your Christmas spent compared to last year? I am not | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
spending as much. A we have cut down a lot. Our people spending | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
less or not spending yet? I do not think they are spending yet. Sales | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
are down 0.4% in the last three months. Let me introduce Professor | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Karen Pine and her idea. This is the gift-giving formula. Take it | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
away. It is a scientific formula to calculate what you should be | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
spending this Christmas. Start with last year's some. Now has a cracked | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
and a man to represent your current financial situation. Take off 5% | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
for austerity and for inflation. If you have lost your job, you should | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
take off about 20%. Finally, multiplied by eight closeness | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
factor, depending on how close you are to beat if's recipient. -- how | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
close you are to the gift recipient. Money is not the same anymore. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
she allowed us to contact numbers. She spent �600 last year. Before | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Miller says she should be spending just less than half this Christmas | :12:10. | :12:19. | |
Tostock down to �288. I already said that we would only spend about | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
�300. You have done the science in your head! | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
That is the reality for many this year and it is bad news for an | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
economy that desperately needs the retail sector to help lift it out | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
:12:40. | :12:41. | ||
of this downturn. A wise lady! | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
My Christmas present, you can spend and divide it by four. | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
Coming up later, will she take to the stage as the curtain goes up | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
for the cast of our Beauty And the Beast? | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
He is perhaps Britain's most mysterious artist, known for making | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
bold statements using graffiti and hiding his identity under the cover | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
of darkness. Today a new work by Banksy was unveiled in Liverpool. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
It could be his most controversial piece of yet and it is called | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Cardinal Sin and it is and to -- understood to be a statement on the | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
abuse scandal in the Catholic You could call that Liverpudlian | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
humour - but how many laughs will this get? Surrounded by 17th | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
century religious classics - you'd be forgiven for thinking he's | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
fallen victim to a vandal with some bathroom tiles handy. It is in fact | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
a comment on abuse in the Catholic Church - the Cardinal's pixelated | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
face reflecting the denial of some of its leaders. I am not sure it | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
would be comfortable for everybody, but a lot of interesting art isn't | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
always comfortable. A lot of works in this gallery were considered too | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
controversial when they were first shown. Banksy says he loves it | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
because of the mix between the Old Masters and the modern, and it | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
became his favourite when he found that it was built on Walker's beer | :14:19. | :14:29. | |
:14:29. | :14:33. | ||
money, so this is his gift to them. Liverpool has a large and proud | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Catholic community - some will feel uneasy - Others will see it as | :14:36. | :14:44. | |
inevitable and perhaps necessary. The Catholic Church has had direct | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
attacks on it throughout history. And it needs to be able to deal | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
with this. It is only really a very recent phenomenon that religions | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
have got so thin-skinned. Loved or loathed, it will certainly | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
stimulate conversation - Cardinal Sin's on loan to Liverpool | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
:15:08. | :15:09. | ||
indefinitely. Certainly get you talking! | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
I suppose that is what art is about. Back to Christmas. | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Academics at Salford University say an electronic Christmas could end | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
up costing families as much as �150 a year. They've worked out that | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
mobile phones, laptops and gaming devices which are left either | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
charging or on standby are racking up huge electricity bills. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
They used a specially-built energy house to make the calculations. | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
From there, our Environment Correspondent Colin Sykes reports. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
There are 4500 -- a 4.5 million houses like this in the UK, but it | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
is inside a lab at the University of Salford. Inside, we find out | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
what the cost of Christmas really The house is fitted with monitors | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
and sensors. It's built to 1920s standards with poor insulation. You | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
can see the heat leaking out on this infra-red camera But wastage | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
from electronic gadgets is harder to spot. If you leave to mourn when | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
you are not using them, if you don't umpired them at the wall, and | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
if you don't disengage the charger once the battery is full, it will | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
cost a significant amount of money. Chargers left on waste �3 a year | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
per device. And this is what you waste if you use these every day | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
and leave them on standby. Just the way you behave can save between 25 | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
and the descent on your energy bills. Next year, an average family | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
could save a �500, simply by modifying of the way they used | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
their electric devices, trying to keep heat inside the house, and | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
just observing general good sense rules. The beauty of the house is | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
they can control everything, even the weather. Could you turn it off, | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
:17:10. | :17:11. | ||
please? According to that, I am wasting �43 | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
a year. Some sports news now, and the FA | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
hearing into allegations that Liverpool's Luis Suarez racially | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra is expected to conclude | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
tomorrow. Evra claimed that Suarez used a word referring to his ethnic | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
origin, something that Suarez has denied. Liverpool have insisted | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
throughout that they are "fully supportive" of their player. | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
The three North West clubs in the relegation zone have a good chance | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
of Premier League survival. That's the view of the Wigan manager | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Roberto Martinez, whose side face Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
United in the next 11 days. Blackburn and Bolton are also in | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
the drop zone, but Martinez says all three can escape their current | :17:49. | :17:57. | |
predicament. In the north-west area, it has always been a passionate | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
football area, and we are going to fight until the end, the last game | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
of the season, I just feel that we are well prepared, the north-west | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
clubs, to a cheap and are Haynes when they arrive. It is just a | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
moment, we need to find a solution to the position we are in. | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Macclesfield Town will play Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup Third Round | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
after beating Chelmsford 1-0. In last night's second round replay, a | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
superb pass from Colin Daniels split the Chelmsford defence, and | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Carl Tremaco hit the goal which gives the League Two side a | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
lucrative home tie at the Moss Rose. The Everton team took time out | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
today to visit youngsters at Alder Hey Children's hospital in | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Liverpool. Some of the Blues' squad met several children and their | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
families as well as handing out presents and signing autographs. | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:56. | ||
The visit has become a regular part of the Hospital's Christmas. | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
A few years ago, Blackpool was looking a bit rough around the | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
edges. But as a multi-million pound regeneration continues, tourism | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
bosses are hoping its new look will make it an ideal place to get | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
married. Today, a new civil wedding venue | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
officially opened on the promenade. And some locals are comparing it | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
with the wedding chapels found in Las Vegas. Rachel Foley was one of | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
the first people to get a look around. This report does contain | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
They say all that glitters is not gold - in fact, what's on this | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
building is gold coloured cladding, but Blackpool Council hope it'll | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
work as well as the real thing in attracting couples to tie the knot | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
on the Golden Mile. Every room where the ceremonies are placing -- | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
taking place, you have a fantastic view, won't you get a floor-to- | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
ceiling view of the tower. Kelly and Simon will be the first couple | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
to get married in the �3 million development, when it opens for | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
weddings in mid January. When we saw this building been built, we | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
thought, what a wonderful opportunity to be the first to be | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
married and become of Blackpool heritage. We are so proud to be | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
from Blackpool. It is amazing. Everything about it, our daughter, | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
when she is older, she can drive past, and say my mum and dad were | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
the first to be married in this building. It is the first to build | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
on this side of the prom in many years, and has attracted criticism | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
from some locals who feel it Stael is not quite in keeping with the | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
surroundings. There are reservations, as naturally there | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
would be, it has been very pleasant, I think some people have been | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
frightened it would be a bit garish, but as you can see, it is a | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
fantastic piece of architecture, and will be here for the next | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
hundred years. Well, the views of the Tower have certainly won over | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
at least one couple. Kelly and Simon marry here on January 12th - | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
and the council say they already have more than a hundred couples | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
:21:03. | :21:04. | ||
hoping to follow in their footsteps. A we have a very Christmas the end | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
to the programme. All this week we've subjected you | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
to a host of bad gags - nothing unusual, you might say. But we have | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
had an excuse, because this week we've been following a group from | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Manchester as they prepare to take to the stage with Beauty and the | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Beast. The Wythenshawe panto group has been gearing up for 11 months | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
and it's finally show time. Elaine Dunkley managed to avoid the | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
:21:33. | :21:35. | ||
custard pies to find out how they It is the morning of the big | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
performance of Beauty And the Beast. Although billion appears to have | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
come as Grumpy. You are saying to people, know where your questions | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
are, then you find they haven't done that, for one reason or | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
:21:59. | :22:03. | ||
another, that causes problems. So I In between scenes, the cast had | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
just minutes to get ready. Quick costume changes in the dress | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
rehearsal have meant hazel had to reach for the sewing kit. I was | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
praying they all would fit. You have to double so everything to | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
make sure nothing comes undone, because they are taking a mop and | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
putting them on really quickly. -- taking them off. Any minute now | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
:22:37. | :22:54. | ||
this auditorium will be filled with To the relief of the cast, it all | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
goes according to plan, with a festive fairy-tale ending. I liked | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
it because it was funny and everybody started shouting. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
favourite bit was when we were singing and joining in. You don't | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
want it to end, but you are so tired, you just want to rest. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
have loved it, it has changed my life completely, it is like a whole | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
:23:27. | :23:34. | ||
family to me. Merry Christmas, What a great time of year this is. | :23:34. | :23:44. | |

It was a lovely surprise, how blew the skies were today. We have had | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
an showery day, but we have finally got a bit of a handle on what the | :23:48. | :23:56. | |
weather will do to the next 24 hours. Some wintry weather, as far | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
north as the North Midlands, but it now looks as if it will not affect | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
us too badly, not looking at disruption, but some wintry weather, | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
it is too close to call. Some of us will see some wintry showers from | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
time to time. Today, mostly rain showers, but not exclusively, a bit | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
of sleet, hail and a touch of snow for parts. You can still see | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
showers around, but in the next couple of hours, they should | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
gradually die away, then most places become dry and clear up for | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
a short while at least. Then this area of weather comes towards us. I | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
think it will bring one or two wintry showers in the early hours | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
of the morning, heading towards dawn. That is not a good time for | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
them to be coming in, because they could bump into the rush hour. | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
Temperatures, easily down to zero tonight, so a frost first thing | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
tomorrow. There will be a covering around the Pennines, possibly a | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
dusting on the ground. As we head through the day, another little | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
area of weather, keeping someone she showers floating into the coast, | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
over the tops of the Pennines, more wintry showers come through. While | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
we're not looking at massive problems, you will see a bit from | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
time to time. If you don't get it, it will be like today. The | :25:28. | :25:37. | |
Are you feeling crisper C? Having done a big run around the Trafford | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
:25:47. | :25:47. | ||
Centre, I am. It was a good time to go. My present, on its way? Still | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
on its way! Just to get you even more into the mood, some festive | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
:26:02. | :26:20. | ||
We are getting very festive out here. Give yourself a round of | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
applause! Hayley is in charge of this. We have at St Luke's Primary, | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
a waste is Academy and the Salford University brass band. It is about | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
bringing the community together and celebrating Christmas. This is a | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
place that has always been at the hub of the community, so no better | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
place to bring them here, we have had dramas, Nativity, we have even | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
had a bishop. Briefly, it is all about bringing the community | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
together, particularly at this time of year? Absolutely, we need to be | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
looking out for each other. BBC out reach have been coming, we have had | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
great fun making lanterns for the children, it is delightful to see | :27:06. | :27:10. |
