Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Rachael Hodges and | :00:02. | :00:07. | |
Roger Johnson. Our top story: Can there be closure for Winnie? 48 | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
years after her son went missing, will Ian Brady finally reveal where | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
Keith Bennett's body is? He has got a venomous contempt for the | :00:17. | :00:26. | |
authorities. I think we will see a twist. In the last hour that twist | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
- the letter for Winnie was given back to Brady by the woman asked to | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
take it to the outside world. We'll talk live to Winne Johnson's | :00:38. | :00:47. | |

Muslims across the region count 48 years after her son went missing, | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
will Winnie Johnson finally find out where her schoolboy son Keith | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
is buried? Police tonight are investigating whether Moors | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
murderer Ian Brady passed a letter to his mental health advocate, | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Jackie Powell, saying where the body was. She claimed it was to be | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
given to Winnie Johnson after his death - but tonight she says she | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
handed the letter back to Brady. Tonight we will be coming live from | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Ashworth psychiatric hospital on Merseyside, where Brady's cell has | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
been searched. But first we'll go to Saddleworth Moor, still | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
inextricably linked with the crimes committed there half a century ago, | :01:54. | :02:04. | |
:02:04. | :02:05. | ||
and Dave Guest. Yes, and these windswept and | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
forlorn looking soft toys have been left ear in memory of Keith Bennett. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
-- here. Winnie Johnson visited this place many times. Now she is | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
too ill. She has clung to the hope that one day she would discover | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
where out there her son alive. She wanted to lay him to rest properly. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
The story of the Moors murders is one filled with twists and turns | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
over the years. Today, yet another twist with news of that the bulls | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
that letter -- of that so Balls letter. Police are treating this | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
with caution. This could just be another mind game by this callous | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
killer. The images are in grainy black and | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
white. The memories are still crystal clear. Five youngsters, | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
tortured and murdered by an evil pair whose names will be forever | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
etched in Bremen -- British criminal history. Keith Bennett is | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
the only victim whose body has never been found. It still lies out | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
there somewhere. 25 years ago, Pauline Reade's body was also still | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
out there. Then a Myra Hindley returns to the moors to help police | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
to find it. At the time she was extremely co-operative. She did try | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
our best to assist us. Hindley did find -- help them to find Pauline's | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
body. Ian Brady went to the moors that same year but he was less co- | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
operative. It was a day out for him. He did not assist us. For Winnie | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
Johnson, the torture has gone on for nearly 50 years. Now Brady has | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
held out the possibility of hope. And mental health advocate working | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
within told a TV interviewer that Brady had handed her a sealed | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
envelope addressed to Winnie Johnson and market not to be open | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
until after his death. Jackie Powell says she told her that | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
within that was the means of her possibly being able to rest. The | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
interviewer asked what he meant by that. She said there was something | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
within the letter that may help to find her son. Detectives have | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
seized documents from her home and she was arrested on suspicion of | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
preventing the burial. Anybody who knows these more as Knowles they | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
are living thing. The road has altered slightly. The lay-bys have | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
changed. And Winnie Johnson's solicitor scares the -- scares -- | :04:56. | :05:05. | |
shares that kept us in. We're not convinced. One of -- one would not | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
wish to raise expectations at this stage until the police have | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
completed their investigation. now, the moors will hold on to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
their grim secret. Tonight the question remains, does | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
the latter exist? Is it back in the possession of the and Brady? | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
Attention switching back from the moors to Ashworth hospital. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Well we can go live now to Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside, and Nina | :05:35. | :05:45. | |
:05:45. | :05:45. | ||
Warhurst. The hospital treats patients with mental health issues. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
What would Jackie Powell's role had been? Anybody with mental health | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
problems as serious as Ian Brady's is entitled to a mental health | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
advocate. It is their role to advise the patients on their rights | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
under the Human Rights Act. They are not allowed to withhold | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
information from police. It appears Jackie Powell appears to have been | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
given this letter when exit -- carrying out Carol as executioner | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
of the Ian Brady's will. -- her role. She claims the latter was | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
given back to Ian Brady at Ashworth hospital. Tonight there is mystery | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
surrounded the whereabouts and the existence of that letter. We are no | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
closer to solving the mystery of where Keith Bennett's body was left. | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
Where are the remains of Keith Bennett? The little boy with a | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Beatles haircut, known as a daydreamer who could never | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
concentrate at school. He disappeared on his way to his | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
grandmother's, and since then his mother has been tortured, wondering | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
where her son was left. I want him found before anything happens to me. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
I have got cancer and I do not know when I am going to die. I want | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
Brady to know that I have got cancer. Marie McCourt is one of few | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
women who truly know Winnie's hell. She has become a close friend 25 | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
years after her daughter Helen was murdered - her killer still won't | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:22. | ||
reveal where her body was left. Helene is never, ever out of my | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
mind. What would it mean to you? would mean everything. What drives | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
a man to block the wishes of a dying woman? And why write the | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
information down, knowing it could be discovered? I think he is coming | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
towards the end of his life when he is going to meet his maker. I think | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
he wants to come clean. There may be a bizarre twist. He has got a | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
venomous contempt for the authorities. I think we will see a | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
twist we do not expect. It is game- playing. He has not got the | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
attention he wanted from his sanity trial. He is manipulating the media | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
to get his needs met. Winnie Johnson has had her hopes raised | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
before, and is tonight too poorly to say whether she now believes | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
Keith's body will be found before she dies. I think it is fair to say | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
that Ian Brady is seen as a very cruel and at times very | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
manipulative man. There is a sense denied that we have been here | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
before. There is a great deal of scepticism surrounding his letter. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
-- this letter. Joining us now is John Ainley, solicitor for Keith | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
Bennett's mother, Winnie Johnson. We heard earlier in the package | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
that you had not told Winnie. Is that it still the case? It is. She | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
is not well enough to receive that information at the present time. I | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
still have concerns about the validity of this story. I do not | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
think it would be right to worry her at this time. Do you believe | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
that this is something Brady would do, to reveal the location he has | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
kept secret for all these years in a letter? It is possible. He may | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
feel that would relieve his conscience to some extent. It is a | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
little too late. It may have some valuable information. He may want | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
it passed on after his death. When he has been ill for some time. She | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
has got cancer. She is in a hospice. Had that information being | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
presented sooner, it could have been acted on and Keith could have | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
been found. Brady is a man who has been portrayed as very devious and | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
manipulative. This is his last bargaining chip, isn't it? It seems | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
to be. It is reported he is manipulative. He is a very clever | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
man. He has wanted to keep some power to themselves until the end. | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
-- to himself. It is difficult to understand his motives. If it is to | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
be given after his death, it will be too late. Do the family have any | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
-- any hope the body will be found before Winnie's death? It will be | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
very difficult to find Keith without the assistance of the Ian | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:46. | ||
Brady. That may not be in Winnie's lifetime. The information could be | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
followed up. Thank you very much indeed. A drug | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
user has died in Blackpool after being infected with anthrax. The | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
source is thought to be contaminated heroin. The Health | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Protection Agency says the drug user - who injected heroin - died | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. The agency says it's unclear whether | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
his death - and another in Scotland last month - are linked. It's | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
reassuring people that there's very little risk to the general | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
population. Police investigating the death of | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
David Short in Clayton, have announced they're offering a reward | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
of �25,000 for information leading to an arrest. The 46-year-old died | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
at home last Friday in a gun and grenade attack. Ten minutes later | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
there was a similar attack in Droylsden - no-one was hurt. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Greater Manchester Police want to question 29-year-old Dale Cregan | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
and Anthony Wilkinson, 33, in connection with both incidents. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
A team of motorbike enthusiasts from the Isle of Man have set a new | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
bike land speed record on the salt flats of Utah in the United States. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
The team averaged 188.73 mph over two runs on a machine made in the | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
Isle of Man. The previous record had stood for more than 33 years. | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
The former home of George Formby at St Anne's in Lancashire has | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
received a commemorative blue plaque. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
The entertainer lived in St Anne's for nearly 10 years until his death | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
in 1961. The George Formby Society performed at the unveiling of the | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
:12:21. | :12:26. | ||
Still ahead, as Roma than it draws to a close, it is time to prepare | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
for Eid. -- Ramadan. Can Robin turn Manchester United into title | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
favourites? This weekend, Muslims across the North West will be | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
celebrating the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, with the festival | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
of Eid. That means preparing the food and looking good for the big | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
day. So, shops across the region have been busy today, We sent our | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
reporter, Yunus Mulla, to Blackburn. This family run business in | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
Blackburn has made bread and cakes for more than three decades. Staff | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
are baking up to 10 times the amount of products compared to the | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
average day in preparation for the Muslim festival of Eid. The whole | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
family will be involved in running the business tonight. It is mayhem. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
For almost a month, Muslims everywhere have been fasting as | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
part of the month of Ramadan. Inside this shop, customers are | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
getting ready to celebrate. You can get anything you need from here. It | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
is easier. Currently there are more than 130 shops catering for the | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
needs of the Asian community. It has a growing reputation of being | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
the place to shop. The rapid expansion of the area has | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
contributed to Blackburn's economy. We are in a recession. Blackburn is | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
taking its fair share of the hit. Clearly you will see a lot of | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
people shopping. There is no doubt in my mind it is creating jobs and | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
opportunities for people. It has been a very positive experience for | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the economy. After this weekend, many of these businesses will be | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
able to take a break. Before then, they will be joining in the Eid | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
celebrations. I'm sure everybody will have a | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
fantastic festival. Time for a bit of sport. Richard's joined us in | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
the studio. It's been a terrific summer of sport, with the | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
Paralympics still to come, and now the football season is upon us | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :14:56. | ||
already. Yes, that's right - nine months of agony, ecstasy, banner | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
headlines and touchline spats are upon us as the big kick-off gets | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
underway tomorrow. Could we see a repeat of last season when the last | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
kick in the last seconds of the last game meant Manchester City won | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
the title from rivals United by goal difference alone? Andy Johnson | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:39. | ||
looks ahead to the battle at the No City fan will ever tire of | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
seeing that amazing moment. They are champions and enjoying every | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
minute. It takes a good team to win the title once. But a great one to | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
keep winning it year after year. have got the players, strength in | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
depth. There is nobody that can come close. Champions. City | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
unveiled Jack Rodwell today, adding to their plethora of midfield | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
talent. Meanwhile, his new boss threw the first verbal punch in | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
round one of the mind games bout with Sir Alex. They are better now | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
with Van Persie. He is a really top player. This is the man United fans | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
hope will tip the title balance in their favour. This is a big chance. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
I am looking forward to it. I am proud to be here. I am looking | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
forward to achieve big things with Manchester United. Come on you | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
reds! It the can produce 80% of the form he produced last season, I | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
think we will rip -- I think we will win. A new manager at Anfield | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
and renewed determination to bring back the good times. We have to | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
make sure we are competitive. Everton have lost Cahill and | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Rodwell - will it be more make do and mend at Goodison? While he | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
performed miracles to keep them up last time around, Wigan Athletic | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
will need more of the same from Martinez. In recent seasons the | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Championship has been extremely unpredictable and competitive. And | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
with Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers joining Blackpool and | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
Burnley, the competition in the North West is bound to be fierce. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Rovers and Wanderers will be looking to bounce straight back to | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
the Premier League. For Blackburn and Bolton, last season didn't | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
follow the script. Two completely different stories, but the same | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
headline - relegation. Both have kept the bulk of their squads and | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
added several new players. Both are aiming for an immediate return. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
certainly hope so. With the squad they have got, they should go Bak | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
up. I expect them to be challenging. Keeping the ball got the team for | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
last year was a great move. We have got the experience. It will be a | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
good squad. I think the new players give us that edge. These are the | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
statistics. Of the 58 occasions when a team has been relegated from | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
the Premier League, 22 teams have never made it back. Of the ones | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
that have, 15 have made an immediate return. But on average it | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
has taken just over three seasons. Like Burnley, Blackpool enjoyed one | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
season in the Premier League. Pool missed out in the Play-Off final | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
last season. Many fans believe they can go one better this time. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
think this season it will be automatic promotion. Very positive | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
at the moment. We have kept most of the squad together. Burnley | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
finished 13th last season. Clarets supporters are hoping for more this | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
time round. A lot of the other clubs have signed big-name players. | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Hopefully we can keep the spirit. Good signings. Happy with that. We | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
need a couple of more central midfielders. The derbies could be | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
the key, starting with Bolton's visit to Turf Moor tomorrow. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Remember if you don't want to miss a goal, your local BBC Radio | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
station remains the best place for coverage of the region's teams. You | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
can hear more from John McGinlay tomorrow - he'll be working | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
alongside Jack Dearden for Radio Manchester's commentary of Bolton | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
versus Burnley. Radio Lancashire have full coverage of Blackburn's | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
match at Ipswich. And listeners in Merseyside can hear full commentary | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
of Liverpool's Premier League opener at West Brom. All those | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
:19:49. | :19:51. | ||
games kick off at three o'clock. Rio Ferdinand has been found guilty | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
of improper conduct and fined �45,000 by the Football Association | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
for comments on Twitter. The Manchester United defender denied | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
he was being racist after responding to a tweet describing | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Chelsea's Ashley Cole as a "choc ice". But an independent commission | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
ruled Ferdinand had brought the game into disrepute. Cheshire | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
gymnast Beth Tweddle says the reaction she's had to winning an | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Olympic medal has been incredible. Beth, who trains in Liverpool, took | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
bronze in the uneven bars at London 2012. In a career where she's won | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
almost everything in the sport, it was her first time on an Olympic | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:38. | ||
podium. I met her today. It has been a massive whirlwind. The | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
emotions as well. I have had time to see my family and friends and | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
boyfriend. We were away for about eight weeks prior to the Games. It | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
has been a whirlwind but one I have really enjoyed. What was that | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
moment like when you realised that you had got an Olympic medal? | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
Halfway through my routine I knew I had got the metal. My mum had tears | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
in my eyes. It made me get emotional. I never get emotional. | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
Suddenly I stood there thinking, finally I have done it. IDG feel | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
afterwards and how do you feel now? You feel different? A massive sense | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
of relief has been taken off me. That night I could not sleep. I | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
kept checking that my Neville was there. It was not just a dream. I | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
just drive around now thinking that was the one dream I've wanted that | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
I had not got. Finally I have got it. A lot of people Abbas defy are | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
not disappointed because I did not get cold. -- a lot of people have | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
:21:56. | :21:57. | ||
asked. I get recognised everywhere now. As soon as someone saw the | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Team GB kit, they would be handy new. All really nice. Just wanting | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
autographs. We you do another Olympics? I definitely will not | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
carry on until real. But for next year, maybe keep my foot in the | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
door for the competition's early in the season. I can help my own club | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
because they have supported me throughout my career. I do not want | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
to make any rash decisions. That is why I am going to take my time. | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
What now? A bit of time off. Going on holiday. Then I did not know. I | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
have spoken with my coach and my Federation and they are happy to | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
support me to carry on training. I have done nothing else for 20 years. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
To suddenly stop would be mentally and physically too much. | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
I was just so worried she was going to finish 4th again. Did you get a | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
close look at the medal? I did. It was very heavy. The amazing thing | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
with Beth Tweddle, because I have got friends who have daughters into | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
gymnastics, and they are into it because of Beth Tweddle. She has | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
left de real legacy. Still the face of British gymnastics. She has been | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
world champion a couple of times over. But winning and then pick | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Matt all, everybody wants to talk to her. She deserves it. -- but | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
winning an Olympic medal. Hundreds will tomorrow gather on Pendle Hill, | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
four centuries exactly since 10 people were executed as witches | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
after the notorious trials of 1612. In the village of Barley there'll | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
be a world record attempt to amass the largest collection of people | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
dressed as witches ever seen. Peter Marshall has been to meet a man who | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
spends much of his working life walking in the Pendle witches | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:02. | ||
Centuries have passed, shrouded in cloud. But Pendle Hill is forever | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
linked to the witch trials. We're looking at people whose only crime | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
was to live away from society. They fell victim to a superstitious King. | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
Simon Entwistle says the story began on 18th March, 1612 when a | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
beggar confronted a paddler. begged from him. He refused to give | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
or anything. Of a sudden a large black dog sat next to her and asked | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
if it should blame the man. She said, Leyne him. It all happened | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
during the reign of James the first, the made witchcraft a hanging | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
:25:01. | :25:05. | ||
offence. If Emmeline Pankhurst was with us today, she would be the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
first person to shake this woman's hand. She stood up for women's | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
rights and has gone down as one of the most famous Lancastrian ladies. | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
After a two-day trial, the alleged witches were hanged. I look on the | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
executions as a barbaric act. It showcased at the area. If Spielberg | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
was to get his teeth into this story, he would have a box opposite. | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
Tomorrow's festival will raise money for charity and keep a | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
controversial period of British history in the public conscience. | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
Peter mentioned the potentially record-breaking witch walk tomorrow, | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
but there's a huge programme of events on over the next few weeks - | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
walking tours, dramas, concerts and exhibitions. If you are interested, | :25:52. | :26:02. | |
:26:02. | :26:05. | ||
take a look at the Pendle Council Now the weather now with Dianne. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
Good evening. You may have heard of temperatures of more than 30 | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Celsius this weekend. Not for us. We have a host of problems with wet | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
weather. There is a Met Office warning for Cumbria. Everyone else | :26:21. | :26:30. | |
is under an amber warning. We could see between 20 and perhaps 70 mm of | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
rain falling. It is an awful picture through the night. The | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
cloud base will lower across the top of the Pennines. Fog will cause | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
problems as well. The only saving grace is the temperatures, which | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
continue to be very mild. When you get up first thing tomorrow morning, | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
the rain is still with you. A cloudy start to the day. There | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
could be localised flooding. There could be flooding -- water on the | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
roads. By lunchtime the picture will change. Some spells of | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
sunshine. Perhaps the odd shower in the afternoon. Temperatures | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
continuing to be good. 18 in parts of Cumbria. 22, 23 elsewhere. | :27:26. | :27:32. |
