Welcome to Northwest Tonight. Our The Hillsborough headline that | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
shocked the city the reporter who wrote the story says don't blame me, | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
blame Kelvin MacKenzie. I say to Kelton McKenzie, E cannot say that | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
will stop he said, why not? I said and we don't know it is the truth. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
We will have reaction from the families. Beaten with iron bars. A | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
Northwest Tonight investigation exposes abuse by teachers at | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
Islamic madrassas. The Bond girl and the suspected Cold War spy the | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
unlikely friendship which spanned the decades. How quickly the | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
champagne has gone flat for Lancashire. From county champions | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
to relegation in a single season. Relatives of those who died in the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Hillsborough tragedy say new revelations about the Sun | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
newspaper's coverage are an absolute disgrace. | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
:01:06. | :01:12. | ||
The crowd to here ready for a world exclusive source stop. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
The journalist who wrote the story says he asked the then editor of | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
the Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, not to run a controversial front page | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
headlined, the truth. At the time, the paper claimed fans stole from | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
the victims and urinated on police. We can join our Merseyside reporter | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:50. | ||
who is in Liverpool. How important is this revelation? | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Next Wednesday when they held a press scrutiny Committee released | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
their findings is the key date for that these televisions are | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
important because they give us an insight into how the Sun newspaper | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
or was working at the time. How we see a former journalist questioning | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
the wisdom of Kelvin MacKenzie in it running that a notorious trigger | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
headlines. The families we spotted today say this doesn't it make any | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
difference to the way they think about the Sun newspaper. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
In the 23 years since 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death at | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Hillsborough, the families and survivors have fought tirelessly | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
for what they see as justice. How could fans go to a football match | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
and die? How was that allowed to happen? Why did the inquest return | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
verdicts of accidental death? An infamous headline in the Sun added | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
to the families' anger. It accused Liverpool fans of despicable | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
behaviour in the face of tragedy. The allegations included | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
suggestions that fans had urinated on victims, that a young woman who | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
was dead had been abused. Now the journalist who wrote the story has | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
revealed that he tried to get the Sun's editor, Kelvin MacKenzie, not | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
to headline his story as, the truth. Kelvin MacKenzie liked to write his | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
own headlines. He wrote at the headline, the truth. I was about to | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
leave when I saw him drawing up the front page. When I saw the headline, | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
a was aghast. I said to him, he cannot say that. He said, why not? | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
I said because we don't know it is the truth. This is a version of the | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
truth. He brushed aside. Relatives of those who died said this does | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
not change their view of the Sun. They had done that without finding | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
out the truth about Hillsborough, without going to the people who | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
were accused, the fans and the survivors will stop not even to | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
speak to them and to put that infamous headline in the Pittsburgh | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
just to sell his papers at that time is an absolute disgrace. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
official report on Hillsborough blamed a failure of police control. | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
Kelvin MacKenzie has declined to comment. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
This is the start of an important few days for the Hillsborough | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
families? It is, at Hillsborough it won't be out of their headlines | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
between now and Wednesday and probably be on that because that is | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
the day the scrutiny committee releases its findings will stock it | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
looks at 400,000 documents from his ad organisations and the | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Hillsborough support could have put 42 questions which they would like | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
the committee to answer. He it'll be very detailed. Among the key | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
questions I been the families would like to see our attitude are, could | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
move has been done on that day have to help those who were injured, | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
could lives have been saved? He is there enough in as many have a | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
million documents to begin a process that overturned the verdict | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
of accidental death which was passed on all the victims. That has | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
agreed to the family for a long time. K -- anger at the from a. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
programme, Hillsborough - the truth, is on BBC One at 10.25pm on Sunday | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
night. Every day, thousands of Muslim | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
children in the north-west attend after-school classes to study the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Koran. These institutions, called madrassas, can help them explore | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
their faith, but unlike schools, they are unregulated and teachers | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
often have no training, leaving pupils at risk of shocking abuse. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
In the last year, three Lancashire madrassa teachers have been | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
convicted of abusing children. Today, Irfan Patel was sentenced at | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
:05:50. | :05:50. | ||
Preston Crown Court. From five till seven, Monday to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Friday, over 100 girls and boys come here to learn. This Blackburn | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
madrassa changed the way it teaches last year. Staff are checked for | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
criminal records, CCTV projects pupils and corporal punishment is | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
:06:10. | :06:11. | ||
banned. Them child learns what sad, he had to be patient with them. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
Children can be noisy but that is the whole idea of having a teacher | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
training. But not all children are taught this way. This woman was | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
horrified to discover that instead of educating her son, this | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Lancashire madrassa teacher was abusing him. The policeman told us | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
he punched my son in the stomach and slapped his face and hit his | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
hands with a pencil. He made him stand like a chicken. If he fell | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
down after five minutes, my boy said he made him do another five | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
minutes. This is a demonstration of the stress position her son was | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
forced to adopt. It is a torture tactic used in war zones. Blackburn | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
madrassa teacher Irfan Patel was sentenced today for using stress | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
positions to discipline pupils. So was Kurram Hussain, also from | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Blackburn, last month. Magistrates called it gratuitous degradation. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
They were not the only cases. was the most horrific. He used a | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
weapon, a piece of piping to control them. Julie Cross | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
investigates madrassa abuse from Lancashire police. She is talking | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
about Ibrahim Yusuf, convicted last year. This CCTV shows one boy | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
flinching and rubbing his arms as he hits him with a pipe in | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Accrington. Very few convictions come out of these types of | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
:07:32. | :07:38. | ||
allegations so I think we have been very fortunate to achieve that. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Around 93 allegations of physical abuse at mosques and madrassas in | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
the north-west were made between 2009 and made 2011. 37 of those | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
were in Lancashire. Police there insist cases are still rare but | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Nazir Afzal who prosecutes them believes this is more widespread | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
everywhere. We are talking about literally the tip of the iceberg. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Why is it happening? In order to meet the demand, schools are being | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
set up left right and centre. There is no OFSTED, no inspection regime, | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
they are reliant entirely on particular committee enforcing | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
standards and if they are not up to the job, there is nothing to | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
:08:14. | :08:21. | ||
prevent children being harmed pretty much on a daily basis. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
once bad teachers are exposed, pupils can still be at risk. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Ibrahim Yusuf was initially accepted back as a teacher despite | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
his conviction. I think it beggars belief that anybody who is | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
convicted of abusing children is allowed to work with children. It | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
is important for us to break this barrier, this wall of silence that | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
exists around these institutions because the very best do a | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
phenomenal job showing people not just what their faith means but how | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
it should be applied to society more widely. Back in Blackburn, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
they are now sharing their methods with other madrassas to prevent | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
more pupils being accused by the teachers they trust. I'm joined now | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
:09:04. | :09:05. | ||
by the secretary of the Mosques and What is being done to protect | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
pupils at the moment? A I have spoken to the Advisory Board who | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
helped deliver standards in masks and they are trying to change the | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
whole ethos of teaching by a speaking and targeting this issue. | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
To make them understand that you can discipline pupils a excursions | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
or sending letters from and not physical violence but they said | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
they are based in London and there are so many have masks, they can | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
open anywhere so it is hard to get round and didn't have the funds are | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
they are calling on the government to give them the resources. We | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
spotted a private education can that they simply said that all | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
schools must have appropriate arrangements in place to protect | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
children. Again this question is still left hanging that doesn't | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
answer the question of how that can be achieved. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Seven people have been injured after a minibus overturned on a | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
motorway in Lancashire. It happened close to junction four of the M 55 | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
at around 4.00pm. One person has been airlifted to the Royal Preston | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Hospital in a serious condition. Six others are also being treated | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
in hospital - their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
A man has died after being hit by a car which veered off the road in | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Manchester. It happened this afternoon on the A6 Stockport Road | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
in Longsight. Police believe the driver of the car lost control and | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
hit the man as he walked along the pavement close to the junction with | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Slade Lane. The road is closed in both directions as investigations | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
continue. The funeral has taken place today | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
of the founder of Francis House children's hospice in Manchester. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Sister Aloysius set up the hospice in 1991. It was one of the first | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
for terminally ill children in Britain. She died last week aged 85. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Police in Blackpool have taken what they are calling the unusual step | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
of releasing CCTV images of a woman they want to speak to over the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
attempted abduction of a toddler. Liverpool City Council has approved | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
�2 million of funding towards the refurbishment of the city's | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Philharmonic Hall. It is hoped the money will help the Philharmonic | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
secure a bid for Arts Council funding of almost �8 million. Last | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
year its budget was reduced by the city council because of government | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
cutbacks. It has been a massive day for | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
thousands of people enjoying the Preston Guild and there is more to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
come tonight. One of the Guild's main events, a Proms in the Park | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
spectacular, kicks off in the next half an hour. Peter Marshall is at | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:36. | ||
Avenham Park Avalon Park in Preston. During the day-to-day, all eyes | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
have been on the city centre? pretty hectic here in the park. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Also people here but it was the city centre that was as an earlier | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
today. 30,000 people lined the streets for the community | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
possession and having walked through the streets to get here, it | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
was absolutely packed. It brought colour and music to the streets and | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
it was a magnificent occasion. It was a celebration of city life | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Preston stand. A big 1500 took part, someone at trailers, someone's foot | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
but all were having a thoroughly memorable time. A it is fantastic, | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
the kids on the way here were thrilled to be involved in it. They | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
have been added nervous but the they had a fantastic day. Hit | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
everyone has come to support Preston and it is such a good | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
experience. It is amazing. I loved every second of that. Have a good | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
day! The committee procession handed the streets of the to | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
schools, charities, faith cribs and multicultural celebrations of a | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
single emotion, her pride at being a citizen of Preston. We should | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
have it more often. Lovely. I think it is great because I have come up | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
to the UK for the first time and I feel lucky to see this festival. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
was with wedding 20 years for a. the procession rolled on, one | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
:13:22. | :13:25. | ||
single thought - wrote on her 2032. That was earlier but it is tonight | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
when the focus will turn to the stage will stop Catherine Jenkins | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
and has Icarus will duet together for the first time ever. We will | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:48. | ||
have more later on but for now go back to the studio. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
They might seem the most unlikely of soulmates, a convicted burglar | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
from Lancashire and a Hollywood actress. But their friendship spans | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
decades and is now the subject of a book. What makes it even more | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
remarkable is an underlying story of international espionage and | :14:02. | :14:12. | |
:14:12. | :14:12. | ||
intrigue. This is Fiona Fullerton in the TV | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
drama, Angels. She was to go on to be a Bond girl, but a fan letter | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
she received in 1976 made a big impression. I received a letter | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
from Parkhurst present, -- prisoner, from Alex will stop Alex | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Alexandrovich from Burnley had been jailed for burgling a house in | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
Preston in 1971. He got life, a harsh sentence for such a crime. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
am not alone in thinking it was a miscarriage of justice. But it was | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
an era of diplomatic expulsions and Cold War paranoia. The authorities | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
apparently believed Alex had connections to a spy ring, | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
something he denied. It was one of those convoluted situations whereby | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
it I think he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong times. | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
They is a certain irony to this that he became involved in a real- | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
life S denied story. That was of May pointed out to me not long ago! | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
The pair lost touch. Then Fiona rediscovered his letters and | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
decided to write a book. Alex had been released after 22 years in | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
jail. Fiona set about finding him. It took me a little while at what I | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
did find him. He was living in Milton Keynes. A hat maintain that | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
friendship to this day? We see each other every week. Their story is | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
one that even the writers of spy fiction would find difficult to | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
conceive. A fascinating story and she hasn't | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
changed a bit! This time last year, you were | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
welcoming the County Championship trophy back to Old Trafford. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
Different story tonight? As far removed as you can get. It | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
took Lancashire 77 years to win that title. Captain Glen Chapple | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
just could not stop smiling as he got off the team bus from Taunton | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
where they had won it. Sadly, it has taken them just 12 months to be | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
relegated into division two. They needed to win at Middlesex today to | :16:17. | :16:27. | |
:16:27. | :16:31. | ||
stand any chance of staying up. They were beaten by 109 runs. | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
10 winds last season, just one of the season - at what went wrong? | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
How long have you got? It is a little too easy to blame the | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
weather but it has had a huge impact on bank should's season. | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
They have not had enough chance to get out and play cricket and the | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
times they have gone out, they have not played anywhere near as well as | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
they did last season. We have any had nine teams in the division and | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
it is easy to fall behind and get dragged into a relegation battle as | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
a result. What is the mood like? Everyone is quite reflective. I | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
spoke to Peter Moores and Glen Chapple he came out straight away | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
and said, I am ready to continue again next season, to lead the side | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
back up into Division One. He wants to continue playing and being | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
captain here at Lancashire. They know that it was probably going to | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
be too much for them to make up because they have not had a chance | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
to get at and play some cricket. I became into this game having to | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
match the result but in the end it was too much for them. In the end, | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
quite honest in admitting that they did not play good enough. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
As England's footballers prepare for tonight's World Cup qualifier | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
in Moldova without the injured Wayne Rooney, the Manchester United | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
striker has reaffirmed his commitment to the club. Wayne | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Rooney is out for a month with a thigh injury. He also told the BBC | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
that he made a mistake when he asked for a transfer out of Old | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
Trafford two years ago. I realised they had made a mistake | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
and I went in to see the managers and said, I feel I have made a | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
mistake, it was silly of me to say what I said and hopefully we can | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
work at night and move on. You can see more of that interview | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
with Dan Walker on Football Focus tomorrow at 12.15 on BBC One. With | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
no action in the top two divisions because of the international break, | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
attention is focused further down the leagues. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Top of the table Tranmere Rovers will be hoping to keep their | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
unbeaten run in League One going at Steve Davis's Crewe. Thanks in no | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
small part to Ronnie Miller in his third stint as manager at Prenton | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:05. | ||
Park. Some things just seem to sit. | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
has always been a family club. To come here as player and then coach | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
and then caretaker-manager and then manager three times. It is just | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
fantastic. I have got on well with the supporters, even through the | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
bad times as players, they stood by me. He is at a club in your heart? | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
Without doubt, is just fantastic for me to be back here. Everybody | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
knows I love the club. He has steered Rovers to top of the table | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
and is once again a fixture at the club where he started his playing | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
career back in 1971. When you look at the goal, do you remember, by | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
scored that goal? Yes but there were not so many seats there when I | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
was here. I remember having a shot ones and picnic -- nearly went into | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
the chip shop behind! It has got character, no doubt about it. Up | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
after keeping the club in League One last season, his aim now is | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
promotion will stop this time we're just building up a nice time and | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
hopefully I'm given time to produce a side that can do us proud here | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
because we deserve a to be higher, to be in the championship. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Now to the Paralympics and 24 hours after Manchester's Sarah Storey won | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
her 11th gold medal, a feat which equals the record held by Baroness | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Tanni Grey Thompson, she says there's more to come in Rio in four | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
years time. But even she will have to go some way to catch Britain's | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
greatest ever Paralympian, Swinton swimmer Mike Kenny, who has a | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
:20:49. | :20:51. | ||
collection of 16 gold medals. He joins us now. We couldn't accept | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
all the medals on the table! First of all, your impressions of the | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
games this time around? Fabulous, I went down the other day and they | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
are very first class. He went down the other day that he should have | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
been there all along, but they have not astute to be involved in id the | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
flame or presenting medals. Why? am not sure. It is just one of | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
those things. They have reduced the lead after 20 years she, but I seem | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
to be the invisible man of the Paralympics. I don't know why. | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
are a little bit laid-back but your family are angry? They got upset | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
the sure because there were so many things going on and it was in your | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
face, so to speak. Because it was here. The method of keeping the | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
records changed in 1989. DC that distinction? Not really, I think | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
they changed the classification system then and that is is a gay | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
all that happened. Up it is a living, breathing entity. Obviously, | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
it will continue to change. So I am not sure why it I should be | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
airbrushed out. QC and cannot not angry, but everybody is talking | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
about new records all the time but all the paladins have all done | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
brilliantly at we're not to give away from them but you have more | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
than anyone else, do you feel angry? Not angry but annoyed for my | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
family because they are the ones... My family and friends say to me, it | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
is like a joke at my. We had also have years to saying, don't forget | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
Mike Kenny, so you are remembered. Maybe when the others come out next | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
time. Let's head back to Preston. The | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
stars of the opera world are about to take stage. Peter Marshall is | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
:23:22. | :23:23. | ||
there. Not long now before a the classical | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
music starts. Catherine Jenkins and the legend that is has Icarus. | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
Yesterday Annabel met with Jose Carreras during rehearsals with the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Manchester Cammarata. It is the first time he has performed in the | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
region for quite some time. I am very pleased to be back, I was | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
here years ago and I am back now and ready to perform for these | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
wonderful people. It really is such a coup for Preston because it is a | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
world first, you and Catherine Jenkins performing together for the | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
first time? It is true. I know her and who I met her in London a few | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
years ago but we never had the opportunity to share the stage. I | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
am very, very pleased about that. Do you know much about the whole | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
reason for it, the Preston Guild, they celebrated every 20 years? | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
think is a wonderful tradition and I am sure that in the UK you have | :24:24. | :24:32. | |
this wonderful events where people gather together, where the | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:42. | ||
community is enjoying doing things together. Her and the tradition of | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
doing it every 20 years and the people are not only willing but | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
even remembering that this is going to happen in 20 years! A think this | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
is greater and it talks about a wonderful idiosyncrasy that British | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
people have these kind of things. tomorrow you will be performing | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
with the orchestra behind you, had he performed with them before? | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
:25:20. | :25:24. | ||
I am very excited to sing with them. From what manager was telling me, | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
who they are wonderful and very happy to be here. I know 10,000 | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
people are extremely excited to see both on stage and thank you very | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
much for talking to us today. It doesn't end here tonight, | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
tomorrow there is a torchlight procession and everything has | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
racked up one Sunday with a fireworks spectacular. But my to | :25:47. | :25:57. | |
:25:57. | :26:01. | ||
the studio. It is a bit of a mixed-up picture. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
Quite a bit of cloud cover and just a glimpse of sunshine through the | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
night and at. The cloud will continue to thicken and some spots | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
:26:20. | :26:21. | ||
of rain will be in the forecast. In terms of temperatures, they are | :26:21. | :26:31. | |
:26:31. | :26:31. | ||
very mild all over again. You are talking mid-teens the most is his. | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
First thing tomorrow morning, cloud cover is still with us. Again, some | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
drizzly rain here and there. The winds are very light. There must | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
could linger for a while. But what happens as we get into the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
afternoon, the picture gets a lot better. A brighter skies coming in | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
:27:05. | :27:07. | ||
and we will see some good spells of sunshine after lunch and. In the | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
sunshine with the suddenly breezed that is any guide, he could get to | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
22 Celsius. For Saturday evening and Saturday night, that is a quiet | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
affair. For Sunday, had started well and then the cloud rolls in | :27:22. | :27:27. |
