Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
Johnson. Our top story: It's four years since Joshua Titcombe died at | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
Furness General Hospital. So why does a new report say there's still | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
a significant risk to the safety of mums and babies there? Joshua's | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
father tells us the findings are appalling - we have the latest from | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
our Health Correspondent. Also tonight: Lucky to be alive - the | :00:23. | :00:33. | |
victim of a suspected racial hate crime speaks of his ordeal. I've | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
broken my eye socket in two places, I've broke my cheek bone and I've | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
fractured my skull. If you want inspiration, join north-west | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
tonight with myself and this wonderful pastor, Antoine from | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Congo. He has got a story to tell. Ploughing on - we meet the 90-year- | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
old Cheshire twins who've been running the same farm for three | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
quarters of a century. And Kop Cat - we meet the feline footballer | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:16. | ||
who's become an internet sensation Mothers and babies are still being | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
put at significant risk at the maternity unit at Furness General | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Hospital, despite repeated warnings from health watchdogs. That's | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
amongst the findings of a report published today. One of the first | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
things new board members will have to deal with after being imposed on | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
the troubled trust found to be incapable of running its own | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
hospitals. Tonight the father of Joshua Titcombe - who died after | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
being born at Furness General - has told us he is appalled by the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
report. It's eight months after the inquest into his son's death. Our | :01:39. | :01:49. | |
:01:49. | :01:57. | ||
Health Correspondent, Laura Yates, reports. Joshua Titcombe was just | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
nine days years old hen he died. An inquest said midwives missed an | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
opportunity to treat the infection he has. His father has since | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
followed what has been on in the unit where he was born. The report | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
makes the most difficult reading. Three and a half years and Joshua's | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
death, to read of significant risks to mothers and babies ongoing. I | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
don't think anyone could read this and not be shocked by it. It's | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
pretty appalling. The report found that leadership within maternity | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
services was a concern. That medical and midwifery teams were | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
not work together and staff didn't know where adult resuscitation was | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:52. | ||
and there was a lack of equipment Also criticised in a separate | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
report was the Trust's handling of the faulty appointments system. | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
14,000 patients were affected. They failed to see it could harm | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
patients. Ben Johnson contacted us to say he believes the system is | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
not working. He just visited fur Ness. The consultant said come in, | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
I went in and he said, well really I don't know why you have been sent | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
for. Someone in the system has no idea where they're doing. There was | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
criticism of the way the Trust is being run, its systems and | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
processes described as inadequate. Tonight the Trust has told us it | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
accepts the report's findings, but says it has already made progress. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Laura Yates joins me now. Laura, it seems that night after night it's | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
damning report after report. But who should be doing something to | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
stop mums and babies still being at risk? Well it looks as if the Trust | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
can get warning after warning without facing consequences. Its | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
something I put to Care Quality Commission. They say they're inside | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
fur Ness general and trying to work out what is going on. And they say | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
if they find naig suggests the hospital is unsafe for patients, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
they well take immediate action and that could include restricting | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
services, or even closing the unit down. It is something we have heard | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
before. But I think there are only so many times a hospital Trust can | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
get such warnings without facing the consequences if problems | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
continue. Thank you. The police are hunting a gang of Asian youths who | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
left a white teenager for dead in what may have been a race attack. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Daniel Stringer, from Stockport, suffered serious head injuries when | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
he and his best friend were badly beaten in Hyde town centre. The | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
police are treating it as a hate crime. One man has been arrested on | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
:05:00. | :05:02. | ||
suspicion of assault. Stuart Flinders reports. The moment this | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
morning when Daniel Stranger's family heard a man had been | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
arrested on suspicion of assaulting him. It has been an emotional few | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
days since the 17-year-old was beaten. He was walking through Hyde | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
town centre with his friend when they say a sinister gesture us made | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
-- was made by a customer in a takeaway. There was a guy with a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
knife, putting it at his neck and pointing at me. They were chased by | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
a gang of Asian men who set about them. I've broken my eye socket in | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
two places. I broke my cheek bone and I've fractured my skull. It | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
gives me a headache and I can't chew properly. So you can't eat | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
meat properly? No not really. police say it may have been a | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
racially motivated attack. One of the individuals involved perceived | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
it is to do with race. So we have recorded it as a hate crime and are | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
investigating it as such. By we keep an open mind about it. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
police have been told there was a snow ball fight here before the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
incident. And they're looking into whether it could be connected. But | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
the two teenagers say they did nothing to provoke the attack and | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
they hadn't been drink. They only came into Hyde to buy sweets. The | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
get well cards offer support, but doctors say it is too early to | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
judge the long-term effect of Daniel Stringer's injuries. The | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Labour MP for Birkenhead is calling for commissioners to be sent in to | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
run Wirral Council. Frank Field told Westminster that senior | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
officers had cost the authority around �60 million in missed grants. | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
He accused them of crass inefficiency, particularly | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
concerning the Rock Ferry development. Wirral Council's Chief | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Executive, Jim Wilkie, issued a statement in response to the | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
comments saying he's pleased that the minister recognises the | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
significant work currently going on with the Local Government | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Association to make the necessary improvements the council needs to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
move forward in the future. first contract was for five million | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
to kick start this development and one of the senior officers just | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
couldn't be bothered, or wasn't efficient enough to get the | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
contract in on time. Wirral issued statement saying he is pleased the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
minister recogniseds the -- recognises the work going on to | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
make the improvements the council needs s to move forward. A group of | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
soldiers from Cheshire set out today walking 50 miles while | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
blindfolded. Members of the 1st Battalion Royal Welsh are hiking | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
from their barracks in Chester to Llandudno. It's in aid of St | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Dunstan's - a charity which provides training and | :07:43. | :07:52. | |
rehabilitation to blind ex-service men and women. Back in 2010 we had | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
a number of soldiers injured, in their eyes. So we started an | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
afilliation with the charity and we did one charity event with great | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
success. This is carrying on the afilliation and showing our support. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Liverpool is voting on plans which would make political history | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
tonight and potentially transform the way's it's run. The City | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Council is deciding whether to move from having a council leader to a | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
directly-elected mayor. The idea's to have a high-profile Mayor, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
chosen by voters to lead Liverpool and represent it abroad. But | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
opponents say the system's undemocratic and so is the way it's | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
being pushed through. Well our political editor Arif Ansari is in | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
:08:35. | :08:41. | ||
Liverpool tonight. What's the latest? Yes, in that corridor a few | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
metres away is the chamber of the council and that debate is under | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
way. I went in earlier to get a flavour of what was going on there. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
This grand town hall dates from about 1750 and it is hugely | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
historic and it would be an exaggeration to say this change is | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
the biggest change for Liverpool council since then. But it is | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
significant. I did meet the Lord mayor earlier in the corridor. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Nothing to do with the Lord maier. That is a ceremonial role and that | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
continues. This is about the leadership of the council. At the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
moment you go in and at elections you vote for a councillor and they | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
select the leader. This to change the leader to a mayor, somebody | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
more powerful, taking a strong lead of the council and representing it | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
abroad or around the country. You may be able to see pictures of the | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
meeting that is taking place that I was in before. The current leader | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
in the chamber. The Lord mayor also presiding over events. One | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
development and that is that the Liberal Democrats have changed | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
their position. They were opposed to a mayor for Liverpool. They were | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
cue to -- due to vote against and they have put koun an amendment. If | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
that falls and they say they're going to swing behind Labour and | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
support the idea of a mayor. I think almost certainly it will get | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
through tonight. It is an interesting development. The other | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
point in Salford they decided to let the voters decide whether they | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
wanted a mayor. Why aren't they doing that in Liverpool? There have | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
been controversy about that and plenty of people who would have | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
liked a say. In al-- Sal fords, turn out was only 18%. But Labour | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
and Jo aner son - eJoe Anderson the leader, he said they had a deal | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
with the Government and he said why wait for a referendum and then an | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
Lex in November. Why not go for it now. Liberal Democrat said well you | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
could have had those power and that money without going for a mayor. So | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
there has been a big debate over that. But I have been asking voters | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
what they make of the idea of a mayor. I think it is better that | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
someone like this a selected by the people. One gets the impression | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
that in America they're always campaigning and nothing ever | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
happens that isn't about campaigning to be mayor. It would | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
be a good thing. For city to have an identity. I haven't got a clue | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
is what going on. Sorry. Liverpool all set for big change. | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
We expect the result about 7.30. And then assuming Is yes, which it | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
almost certainly will be, then there will be an election for the | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
:11:53. | :11:55. | ||
mayor in May. We will have that report later. Thank you. Still to | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
come on North West Tonight: By Royal Appointment - the Duchess of | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
York visits a Congolese aid worker whose arm was saved by Manchester | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
surgeons. And the cat's whiskers - we meet the Kop Cat whose on the | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
:12:14. | :12:19. | ||
pitch antics have become an internet hit. He's a star. He was | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
the best player on the pitch. will hear from him. It's the blight | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
on every high street, but today we we're told no region is harder hit | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
than here in the North West. No town centre worse affected than | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Stockport. A survey put the town at the top of a national table for | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
empty shops with almost one in three there empty. You've been e- | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
mailing about the problems on your High Street all day. More on those | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
in a moment. First here's Our Economics Correspondent, Jayne | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
Barrett. The most recent casualty behind that many more. I first met | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
this man Three years ago. thought we would gefr get out of it | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
and woe would go under. Back then Stockport was still top of the | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
league table. Then he hoped for a rent or rate relief. If anything, | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
the rates have gone higher. would have liked to have seen more | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
MEP? Yes. He was lucky, others haven't been. - more help. For | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
others have been tough. We have lost household names. When we met | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
in 09, ministers were in the shop promoting a new scheme. It was just | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
window dressing. For six months the shops were filled with artwork. It | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
didn't have an impact and what has happened? Well still have vacant | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
shops. The council says it is tackling the problem and agreed to | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
buy out the town's department store premise after the landlord went | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
into receiveship. We're now the proud owner of a Debenham's lease. | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
We are are driving the agenda. local authority step in, but is it | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
enough. Mike want s radical change. Let's shrink it down and encourage | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
businesses to move and settle in one area and allow the vacant unit | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
to be used for different thins. says don't expect the shops to fill | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
again soon. Deal with the possibility they may never. Well | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
you have been e-mailing about the state of your town centre and Jane | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
is with us. What have they been saying? They have been painting a | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
bleak picture. First in presston, they have been waiting for even | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
years for developers to build the Tithebarn centre. But they pulled | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
out. A similar story at the Valley Centre, that is being demolished. | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
And Joanne told us Rochdale is full of charity shops and mobile phone | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
shop and even Macdonalds has closed down. Andrew says Bolton has been | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
hit by an out of town retail park. Claire said the arcades in Wigan | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
are empty and the market is dwindling. Sue rang in about | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
Ellesmere port arcade, three flagship stores there are expected | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
to close. Wince ford is a dying town according to one of you. She | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
said post office staff turned up to find their shop was closed. But now | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
elsewhere businesses have been getting together to promote the | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
town and organise events. But the report says that the twin threat of | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
internet shopping and out of town developments may be too much for | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
many high streets to fights. Thank you. You can tell us your stories. | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
When aid worker Antoine Munyagena was attacked by Congolese rebels, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
he didn't expect to survive. He was shot in the arm and saw all his | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
colleagues killed. But surgeons in Manchester heard of his plight and | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
operated on him for free after he was flown over here. Today, Antoine | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
was reunited with his doctors and visited by the Duchess of York, | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
whose charity helped bring him over for treatment. Abbie Jones reports. | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
His range of movement is better. Antoine Munyagena's progress has | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
amazed not only Sara Ferguson, but everyone who treated him sm he was | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
troubling to a school in Congo when he was attacked. They say, shoot | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :16:54. | ||
him in his head. When our vehicle was shot and there was... Armed on | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
my colleague and I feel like I was died. Antoine's injuries were too | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
severe to be treated in Africa and so he was flown 4 thousand miles | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
for an operation here. He could have lost the arm. You can see all | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
the damaged bone, nerve damage, his progress is amazing. He is works | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
very hard and he is already regaining movement. It is a thing | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
unbelievable, to be treated freely. It's a very incredible. Today the | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
Duchess of York sat in on his physio session. There are not the | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
wards to describe the strength and courage and integrity of a man like | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
this. An Tuan hadn't heard of Royal Family before. So what did he make | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
of her? Nice. And he will have more opportunities to get her. She has | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
invited him to her home. Sometimes the word nice can cover it. Looks | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
like they both made a friend. She's called Gretchen - a slightly | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
tattered, pretty ordinary looking child's toy. But her story is | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
extraordinary. She was found in on one of the Nazi's most infamous | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
concentration camps, Bergen-Belsen. That was in 1945. Now the Southport | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
woman who owns her wants Gretchen's story to be used to warn future | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
:18:31. | :18:31. | ||
generations of the horrors of the Holocaust. Peter Marshall reports. | :18:31. | :18:40. | |
She's tiny, delicate and in the safest 06 -- of hands. Each time I | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
take her out I get goose pimples. In 1945 Gretchen was find in rubble | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
when Berg again - eBergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Thousands of Jewish prisoners perished here. It is where Ann | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
Frank spent her final days. Nurse mayor Margaret Jump, from Southport | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
was with the troop and spotted Gretchen. She was there with the | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
bricks and she picked her up. It belonged to a little girl and that | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
girl, goodness know what happened to her. Typhoid was rife there. | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Anything could have happened to her. She was kept in a family trunk for | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
over 50 years. Now, she is being restored. When I'm working on | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Gretchen, I think what did she see? And she could only speak and tell | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
us. And maybe tell us what happened to her owner. Manchester's Jewish | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
museum for one says the doll can spread a powerful message to future | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
generations. You see an every day object and think about the people | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
going into these camps. They were normal people. So it is a message | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
that is strong and needs to be passed on. The hope is she will | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
:20:12. | :20:14. | ||
ends up on public display. It does bring a lump to your throat. Yes. | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
:20:24. | :20:25. | ||
It is terrible. Let's look at these guys. Is it rude, the chap on the | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
right does look like the clap out of The Last of the Summer wine. | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
chap on the right. The Queen is celebrating 60 years on the throne | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
this year. Few people have done the same job for half that time, but in | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Cheshire twin farmers have been working even longer. Ted and Harold | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Bickerton have farmed in Coppenhall near Crewe for 76 years. What's | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
more they're still going at 90 years old - with plans to expand in | :20:51. | :21:01. | |
:21:01. | :21:02. | ||
the Spring. Kate Simms reports. From boys to men. This farm has | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
been the Bickerton twins' life. have been born here and I worked | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
out since 14 haven't I? And working a bit before. Harold and Ted are | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
the third generation of the family to farm here. They never married, | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
farming through the war, recession and even a hay fire. But the | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
biggest change has been the small amount of the housing estate that | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
built around them and changed the way they farmed. Milking was the | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
best job. I like milking. But we couldn't keep them. We couldn't | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
keep them, could we? They had to go like. Because it was too far to | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :21:56. | ||
take the cows to the fields like you know? And that one is going. | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
Now the boys are waiting until the spring to buy their next batch of | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
cows. Their success is down to team work. We never argue, do we? | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
does, but I don't do nothing like that. I can't drive the tractor and | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
he can. What he can do, I can do and so so. Oh dear. The boys have | :22:22. | :22:31. | |
no plans for retirement any time soon. Still going strong. Could we | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
do with a dose of what they have. Whatever it is. A pint of something | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
I'm sure. Next to the coolest cat football's ever seen. A mystery | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
moggie invaded the pitch at Anfield last night, and his confident strut | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
pleased the crowds a lot more than the game did. He's now got more | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
than 25,000 followers on Twitter, and has been making catty comments | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
about Manchester United all day. He wasn't around for a post match | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
interview, but could Nina Warhurst track down the feistiest feline in | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
:23:09. | :23:16. | ||
Making his debut at a ground like an fields is never easy. But this | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
cat took it all in his stride. COMMENTATOR: A cat has found its | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
COMMENTATOR: A cat has found its way on to the Anfield pitch! | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Ignoring the keeper before taking in the atmosphere and even raising | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
a smile from Kenny. Today fans agreed he brought some life to an | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
otherwise average game. He was quicker than Downing. And he has | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
got better hair. Better actor than Gar evident Bale and moves quicker. | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
But where was he today? Off-the- record a security guard said his | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
name is Sam and he does have a home, but loves the beautiful game, | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
almost as much as he loves attention. So look where we found | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
him? This is one cat who knows he looks good. Like a lot of celebs he | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
is happy to pose for pictures, but now too famous to talk. Sam what | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
are your thoughts on your performance last night? He is not | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
the first cat to appear at Anfield. COMMENTATOR: Now it is a cat. I | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
wonder which side it supports, Arsenal or Liverpool. This one | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
became a lucky omen and Liverpool beat Arsenal and then won the cup. | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
So cowl this cat be just as lucky? He is certainly confident ahead of | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
the game with Manchester United at the weekend, he has tweeted, if I | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
can get past freedel, getting past the United keeper should be easy! | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
Fantastic. She did well to find him. We were sketchical. Is that the | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
real Sam. I was worried as she ran after it with a microphone as a car | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
went past. Which way is the Gatt going to go. Now the -- cat going | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
to go. And now the weather. You were impressed with our farming | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
twins. At this time of year, farming is no fun. But they're | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
stipg still doing it. If you fancy doing system star gazing the | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
conditions are great. We have a full moon and you can see Venus if | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
you look to the swers. It sets at - - South West, it sets at 8.56. If | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
you have a telescope and know what you're doing, you could see the | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
great red spot at about 20 past 10. The conditions could comply. We | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
have some patchy cloud. And that depressed the temperatures on | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
Merseyside at 3 o'clock, it was at four degrees. The cloud rolled on | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
in and blocked the sunshine. But this cloud disperses tonight. And | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
once again it is dry, clear and if you are star gazing, wrap up, it is | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
going to be bitterly cold and this could be one of our coldest nights | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
so far. While thist these temperatures represent towns and | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
city the Isle of Man is the best place to be. It could be up to | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
minus eight in rural areas. So a hard frost tomorrow morning. The | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
sun is up at 7.43. Yes you have some thin cloud through the morning. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
But as that breaks, I think you have got an afternoon of winter | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
sunshine just about every where. So about nine or ten hours of daylight | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
and you could see six hours of sunshine. So that is good. But the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
attempts -- temperatures are so low and the isle of Mantis bst place. | :26:58. | :27:07. | |
For most of us, one or -- the Isle of Man is the best place. But the | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
red spot? Yes you love thing like. You two do. The only red spots I | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
see are in the mirror. Before we go, Bolton school set a new record | :27:19. | :27:26. |
