Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Johnson. Our top story: Leaked Cabinet papers show a senior | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Merseyside police officer blamed drunken fans for the Hillsborough | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
disaster. We'll be live at Anfield for reaction to those documents. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Also tonight: Hit by a car and hurled 70 feet - the teenager who | :00:19. | :00:27. | |

British manufacturing back in The BBC has seen government papers | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
in which a senior Merseyside Police officer blames what he describes as | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
drunken Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough disaster. The Cabinet | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
documents date from April 20th, 1989, five days after the tragedy | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
which claimed the lives of 96 people. The claim was part of a | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
briefing sent to the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. The | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
official Hillsborough inquiry blamed the police for losing | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
:01:22. | :01:27. | ||
control. Our Merseyside reporter These comments are from a police | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
force 23 years ago, in one case from a former chief constable, who | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
is now dead. Nevertheless, the fact that the families's home police | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
force made these comments has angered the Hillsborough families, | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
especially in light of what the report found. And the information | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
has been leaked out bit by bit, which is something that the | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
families did not want at this stage in the proceedings either. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Mrs Thatcher visited Hillsborough the day after it happened. Debate | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
about what her government was told and how it responded has | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
intensified in recent years. Now cabinet papers seen by the BBC show | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
what senior Merseyside Police officers thought. One blamed the | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
tragedy on drunken Liverpool fans. Anne Williams lost her 15 year old | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
son Kevin in the tragedy. He worked hard. He was not a drunken | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
Liverpool fan. A lot of these young kids that died, it just makes your | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
blood boil, because they went to a football match and never came home. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
The papers come from a meeting a member of the Prime Ministers's | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
policy unit had with the then Merseyside Chief Constable Sir | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Kenneth Oxford and other officers. The letter to Mrs Thatcher about | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
that meeting quotes Sir Kenneth as saying: "A key factor in causing | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
the disaster was the fact that large numbers of Liverpool fans had | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
turned up without tickets. This was getting lost sight of in attempts | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
to blame the police, the football authorities etc." The letter says | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
another officer, born and bred in Liverpool, said that he was deeply | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
ashamed to say that it was drunken Liverpool fans who had caused this | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
disaster, just as they had caused the deaths at Heysel. The official | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
report into Hillsborough did not blame ticketless fans. It did not | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
:03:30. | :03:30. | ||
blame drunken fans. It blamed a failure of police control. That was | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
a very upsetting thing to here what was said by our Merseyside police | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
within days of the disaster, and before any inquiry was set up or | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
anything. It was a disgrace. disaster happened in Sheffield not | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Liverpool but these papers show for the first time what some police | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
officers from the home force of those who died thought. It causes | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
the same pain again because it is the same old lies that have been | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
propagated for 23 years about what Liverpool fans were up to that date. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
It is nonsense. It's not clear where the officers got their | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
information from. And the papers do not reveal any comments made by | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
South Yorkshire Police to the government. Those comments may come | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
:04:20. | :04:20. | ||
out when the Hillsborough Panel reports in the autumn. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
The Hillsborough panel says they do not comment on leaked reports and | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
the police say it would not be appropriate to comment. I am joined | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
by a Liverpool MP. You have campaigned on this. What do you | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
make of the latest leaks? I don't think it will come as a surprise | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
that Mr Oxford sided with the Government of the day. He did not | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
support the people that paid his salary. He always seemed to be at | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
odds with the people of Merseyside and this is just one example of him | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
corresponding with Mrs Thatcher and taking an arbitrary decision | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
without any of the facts and the evidence, certainly without an | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
inquiry having taken place. Why do you think is particular information | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
has come out now? That is the big question, really. Why now? Who | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
leaked the information? You have to be a very senior civil servant or | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
politician to have access to information and documentation that | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
is retained under the 30 year rule. There are lots of questions that | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
need to be answered and myself and Andy Burnham will be asking | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
questions on Monday when we returned to the House of Commons. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Given that the official inquiry blamed the police for what happened | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
at Hillsborough, and that Merseyside was not the police force | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
responsible, how important is this information that Merseyside police | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
thought, wrongly, that it was ticketless fans and drunken fans? | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
think the 23 years only now the families have been saying that they | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
believe there was a cover-up and it went to the very highest levels. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
This one seems to have gone to the very highest levels of Merseyside | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
Police and to the Prime Minister of the day. That will be no surprise | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
to Liverpudlians. We have known about this and we have campaigned | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
for 23 and a half years for the truth and that will come out soon. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Thank you very much. Back to the studio. | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Thank you. Next tonight, a teenager was hurled | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
70 feet by a hit and run driver and left injured on the road. Megain | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Heaps, who's 19 and from Stockport, was on a crossing when the accident | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
took place. Police say the car involved was racing at excessive | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
speeds with another vehicle and could have killed someone. Today | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
the student appealed for the public's help to trace the driver. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
Yunus Mulla reports. Megan Heaps remembers very little | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
about the accident that's left her with a dislocated shoulder and cuts | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
and brusises, but she's in no doubt that she could have lost her life. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
This is the moment when she was hit by a car and hurled more than 20 | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
metres down the road. I have got to be lucky. Most people would not | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
have survived. The cars were going so fast. I was hit, flipped on to | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
the windscreen, and then I was thrown and the car drove round may. | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Another car, a blue Polo, was on the wrong side of the Reddish Road | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
near the junction with Broadstone Hall Road south in Stockport. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Witnesses have described how the two cars were wasting each other. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
The silver Astra that hit the teenager will have damage to its | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
front end and windscreen. -- racing each other. It is so stupid to be | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
racing through the daytime right next to a primary school. That | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
could have been a little kid that would not have lived. It's | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
astonishing, say police, that an injured girl was left on the road. | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
Clearly they are not bothered about hurting somebody and they could do | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
The Stockport student is in constant pain but this appeal she | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
hopes will help trace the drivers who had little regard to the safety | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
of themselves or others. A Cumbrian school has been to the | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
High Court to challenge an unfavourable Ofsted report. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Inspectors had given the Furness Academy an overall rating of | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
inadequate because its maths results were not up to scratch. | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
However the Academy argued that the rating was unfair given that it had | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
only been open two years. The judge told Ofsted it should make it clear | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
that but for maths the academies rating would have been satisfactory. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
He granted a judicial review of the way Ofsted arrives at its overall | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
ratings. Our next story contains some flash | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
photography. Eight people have been arrested after a man was murdered | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
in a Rochdale nightclub. Police carried out raids on addresses | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
across Manchester and Bolton this morning. John Lee Barrett was | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
stabbed in the back in Sinclair's Bar on Christmas Day and died two | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
days later. This was a lot of people all together in one night | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
club who acted together as a pack. As a result, somebody has lost | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
their life. The arrest reflect the nature of the offence committed. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
A former soldier has appeared in court accused of murdering the | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
mother of his four-year-old son. Ian Lowe of the 1st Battalion the | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Duke of Lancaster's regiment has been charged with the murder of | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Leanne McDuff. She was found at her home in Droylsden, Greater | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Manchester, on Sunday. A third of the board that governs | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
the troubled Morecambe Bay NHS Trust have resigned. The Trust is | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
now looking for four new non- executives. No reason has been | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
given but the Chair of the Board admits it's been a challenging time | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
for the Trust after a series of damning reports into the quality of | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
care at its hospitals. A 23-year-old from Chorley who's in | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
a coma in Australia is finally being flown home. Holly Raper was | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
working on a farm in Tasmania when she fell off a quad bike. It's | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
taken three months to find the funds to bring her back. Her travel | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
insurance policy didn't cover her accident. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Police stations, fire headquarters, nurseries and mobile libraries, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
they are just some of the services being swiped away from people on | :10:04. | :10:14. | |
:10:14. | :10:15. | ||
the Isle of Man in a long list of cuts. They're trying to save tens | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
of millions of pounds as one of the toughest budgets in a generation | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
has been announced. We found out how they are planning to do it. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Reading is everything to Nancy. She is bedridden in a care home in the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Isle of Man and finds comfort in books. She never married, so some | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
of her only visitors are from the mobile library, but not for much | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
longer. The mobile library is a lifeline. I get on with my books. | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
If they take my books away, I don't quite know what I will do. Except | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
sit and watch the birds. We have to change because our financial | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
circumstances have changed. There will be more difficult decisions | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
required until the quoted rebalanced. We try to be fair and | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
equitable. These cuts will be made in pretty much every department in | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Government so they will be no just across the island. But why are they | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
only happening now? The VAT sharing agreement with the UK has taken | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
away �175 million. There has also been a reduction in direct tax | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
receipts of a further �9 million. The island basically now has a | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
smaller slice of the pie than it did before, leaving a gap in their | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
budget. One-third of their total income has vanished, forcing major | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
changes to the way the island operates. We are in the middle of a | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
very substantial change programme. I can understand that people don't | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
like change. They do not like change. I know the Government is in | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
a difficult situation. It does need to save money but there are better | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
ways to do it. Taking things away from our children is not right. It | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
is not the Third World, it is the Isle of Man. Where has the money | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
gone? The Government wants to spread the burden evenly. Some | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
nurseries, fire stations and police headquarters will be cut. Nancy has | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
to learn to go without as the Government tried to balance their | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
books. We've all seen the results of fly- | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
tipping. It's not pleasant wherever it happens. But in one part of | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Preston the illegal dumping of rubbish is taking place on an | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
industrial scale. Today workmen removed more than ten tonnes of | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
junk from a former railway line just months after a similar amount | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
was cleared. Experts say it's evidence of more and more people | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
trying to dodge the cost of getting rid of waste responsibly. Our | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
Environment Correspondent Colin Sykes reports. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
Clearing up on the former Deepdale railway line in Preston. The | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
cutting has been turned into a tip with rubbish thrown from bridges on | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
a large scale. Daniel Gibson's a trainee accountant with Network | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Rail. Today he's volunteered to help clean up. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Am quite surprised. We have found some needles as well. I wonder how | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
people get down here, to be honest. Although much of the waste is | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
domestic, some is commercial, dumped by traders trying to dodge | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
landfill taxes. This is fly-tipping on a grand scale. Someone has | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
thrown a sofa down here. Because of the bridges, people are throwing | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
things down on to the disused railway line all the time. The | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
depressing thing is that the team are here today and they were only | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
here just before Christmas. Within two months it will be as bad again. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Last month the Tipping was just as bad. If you have the energy to take | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
it to a railway track and throw it over a wall, then why can you not | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
take it to the tip? Last year there were 820,000 cases of fly-tipping | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
but just 2400 prosecutions. 60% of that waste was domestic. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
Unfortunately there is a group of people either ignorant or | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
deliberately flouting the law. They take advantage of the rest of us, | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
which is a real concern. Back at Deepdale, the team know they will | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
be coming back. We deal within the region of 5000 requests per year to | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
clear up litter and fly-tipping. Quite why people do it, I am not | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
sure. The good news is that fly- tipping is down by 13% but it is | :14:20. | :14:30. | |
:14:30. | :14:32. | ||
still costing as �41 million the year to clean it up. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
Astonishing. 10 tons of rubble in a day. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
We're constantly told that buying British is best. But when it comes | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
to manufacturing, especially fashion, that can be difficult, | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
with most clothes made much more cheaply abroad. But retail guru | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Mary Portas wants to change that, starting with knickers. She took | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
her challenge to a factory in Middleton near Manchester, where | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
she reopened the sewing room floor and recruited machinists. So did | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
she succeed? Abbie Jones reports. Business is brisk, Kinky Knickers | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
production line. They have to make 400 a day to meet their targets. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
The last eight years, these machines were silent as the firm | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
had to send their night where production abroad. You just get a | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
sense of life having been here and now it is gone. It was only eight | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
years ago that this stopped. They just ceased production. I want to | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
bring it back. Mary Portas decided to do that with knickers. She | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
helped devise the ground, found trainees, sourced the lace and | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
found retailers. Selfridges and Marks & Spencer are now on board. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
We can do this because the costs overseas of manufacturing have gone | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
up, labour costs and shipping costs as well. We have proved the | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
doubters wrong, thank the Lord, and it is fantastic to get a factory | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
back. Mary Portas was convinced that demand from the public was | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
there to buy British. I think that we should support them. We are | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
British and we should. It is good for the town, but for people, stuff | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
like that. It depends on the price. That is most important to me. | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
project is not just about changing attitudes of the manufacturing | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
industry. 40 new jobs have been created here, which 200 people | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
applied for. -- 40 new jobs. That is pretty good turnout and I have | :16:22. | :16:29. | |
only got eight jobs to offer now. have never had a job before. I have | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
never really worked. This means a lot to me. I am from a family of | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
machinists. There is just no manufacturing in the area that does | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
sowing. Kinky Knickers has 30,000 orders and their goal is 100,000. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
You can see more on Mary's Bottom Line at 9 o'clock tonight. | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
That looks good. The knickers look great as well as the programme! | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Football next and the two Manchester clubs are in Europa | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
League action tonight, both looking to come back from third leg defeats | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
to progress to the quarter-finals. Not going very well for Manchester | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
United, 1-0 down against Athletic Bilbao. The game is approaching | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
half-time. United are 3-2 down from the first leg as well. City kick | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
off in just over an hour for their match against Sporting Lisbon. Our | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
reporter is there now. Hello. We will talk about | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
Manchester City in a moment, but let's reflect on Manchester United | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
and that scoreline coming from Spain, 1-0 down. With me is the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Daily Telegraph sports correspondent. Hello. It was always | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
going to be very difficult for United but even more difficult now. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Yes, 3-2 down from the first leg and a very good team. I thought | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Alex Ferguson would wrest some plays tonight because they are | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
playing Wolverhampton on Sunday but he has got lots of players. With | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
the game at the weekend, what matters is the league, so I am | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
surprised and the gamble has backfired. Both managers, Roberto | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Mancini and Ferguson, have been talking up the Europa League. Do | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
you think they mean it? Is it find games? I think they both mean it | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
for public consumption but privately they would be happy to be | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
:18:33. | :18:34. | ||
out of it. City lost players during this Cup and it is costing them big. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
If you lose players in the Europa League, it costs you in the Premier | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
League so it is probably better to be out of it. Players have been | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
trying ahead of the fixture. Carlos Tevez is ineligible tonight. Samir | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
Nasri and the like, those players are available. Despite what you | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
have said, do you think Roberto Mancini will play a strong side | :18:58. | :19:07. | |
tonight? I think he has to put a Vincent Kompany is out, so does not | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
have many options at the back. There are sensibly he does not have | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
many options to rotate. Joe Harper as well. It is tough for him. He | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
has got injuries and so we cannot afford any more. And there next | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
thing is the game against Chelsea. Yes, that is the big thing. Just | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
who will be up for it after last night, and they seem to be | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
transformed as a team. Roberta Maggioni cannot afford any more | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
injuries. Thank you. -- Roberto Mancini. There is full commentary | :19:41. | :19:49. | |
on the game on BBC Radio Manchester. Kick off is at 8 o'clock, sorry, | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
five past eight! Back to you. will buy you or what! Carlos | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
Tevez's hat was almost as good as those knickers! | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
A Jewish book described as priceless dating back to the 14th | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
century is leaving the North West and heading to the US. The Hagadah | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
has just been freshly restored at the John Ryelands Library in | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Manchester. In a few weeks it will be on exhibition at the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
Metropolitian Museum of Art in New York. Our reporter Nazia Mogra had | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
the chance to handle the book and found out why it is so valuable. | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
It was a long, detailed and intense process to restore this book. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
a period of eight months, it took approximately 300 hours. And a | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
great deal of time spent under the microscope, preserving the pigments | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
and gold leaf which had been cracking and flicking. It cannot be | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
seen with the naked eye. It is very, very minute detail. You have to go | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
underneath the pigment. Painstaking it may have been, but its value to | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
Jewish people? It contained stories of their ancestors who left slavery | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
for freedom. We can see the plague of frogs. There is the Pharaoh | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
being attacked by frogs. The manuscript has been at the Library | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
since 1901. Over 100 years. This is one of the most important Hagadah | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
manuscripts to have survived worldwide. It tells the story of | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
the pass over and the flight of the children of Israel to Egypt, the | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
Exodus story. They are no strangers to working with masterpieces like | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
this. Last year they digitised one of the largest copies of the Koran. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Because I have got now Polish on, I have been asked to wear these | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
gloves before handling the book. -- nail polish. The Hagadah is used by | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Jewish people all round the world on the first night of the Passover. | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
Is one from Spain is considered priceless by experts. It will stay | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
safe and sound right here until it is hand-delivered to New York in a | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
:22:13. | :22:15. | ||
Extraordinary, it gives you goose bumps. They were very trusting to | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
let her touch it! The BBC Studios here at MediaCity | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
were taken over by dozens of young people today for the BBC's annual | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
School Report Day. Thousands of school children across the North | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
West have been compiling news reports on TV, radio and online | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
looking at some of the issues which affect them. And they had some | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:43. | ||
expert help here in Salford. Welcome to BBC News School Report, | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
live this morning from Salford. Over the next 75 minutes, that team | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
of reporters, beavering away here at Media city UK, will be keeping | :22:53. | :23:03. | |

Hello, I am Jack. We are taking part in BBC School Report in | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
:23:13. | :23:20. | ||
Now you have done this report and the school has been involved, do | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
think you might pick up on the sport and start playing? Yes, we | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
already have a teacher doing a course on handball. Good morning. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
It is a cold start this morning, Mr and Bobby, too. -- mist and fog, | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
too. Who do you think will have the most chance of progressing in the | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
Cup finals? I think United. From all of us in Salford, we hand you | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
over to the radio programme. The buyer. Give them a wave. At Shea. - | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
- and cheer. It was harder than I thought it was. I learned to | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
interview a number of people. is Jack and Becky for the BBC | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
School Report. They were grid. It was great to see you doing some | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
work! -- they were great. Did you take notes on how to do it?! If you | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
would like to see any of that programme, go to the School Report | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
website. There are some fascinating topics. Bullying, body image, lots | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
of things. The address is on the screen. Katie doing the weather was | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
brilliant. Should anybody be worried? I would be very | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
:24:54. | :24:55. | ||
Actually, I liked the professionalism. Even in the office | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
they had a shirt and tie on. If you are fed up with this quiet, | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
depressing weather that we have been seeing, there is a change on | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
its way and it comes in tomorrow with the North-South divide in our | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
weather. Northern parts of the region will be fairly wet and | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
further South that will be brighter. In the middle, you will get | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
something in the middle but it will balance out in the end. Katie was | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
right. It has been cold and cloudy. Temperatures have struggled. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
Manchester Airport did not get above five degrees and a 4 o'clock | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
this afternoon because the overnight temperature was down to | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
minus two. Visibility has been poor and that cloud cover has not wanted | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
to move. On the other side of the Pennines, an entirely different | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
story with lovely spell of sunshine. For us, the cloud has but wanted to | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
go anywhere and that is our story through the night. -- not wanted to | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
go anywhere. Overcast, light winds. In the early hours of the morning | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
mist and fog will be a problem in many places. The other half of our | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
story moves in over my shoulder through the early hours of the | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
morning. This weather front will freshen things up as it moves | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
across the region tomorrow and comes back in a different form on | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
Saturday. The quiet spell will come to an end through the weekend. It | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
will offer you something really quite different. Rain in the Isle | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
of Man and Cumbria. There is a broad spectrum of temperatures, | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
three in rural areas, seven on the Isle of Man and six or seven along | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
the coast. Towns and cities around five or six degrees. The rain | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
starts its journey in Cumbria and it is really slow. For most of us | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
it is the cloudy start to the day. The cloud base is higher and so the | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
skies will be brighter. In the south-western corner we will see | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
the best of the brothers. Parts of Cheshire could see spells of | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
sunshine. -- the best of the brightness. As the weather front | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
moves towards us all, we all lose the brightness and many places will | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
be seeing rain. The weekend is mixed with rain but also some | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
sunshine. A bit of everything. was saying earlier that there are | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
two bright stars in a diagonal line. I have been looking and apparently | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
it is the owners and Jupiter. They look spectacular. -- Venus. Have | :27:24. | :27:30. |
