Sunday. Make the most of Saturday because Sunday looks pretty filthy. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Roger Johnson. Our top story: The jury in the William Roache trial | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
hears of the soap star's disbelief after he was arrested on suspicion | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
of rape. "It's against my nature", he told | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
the police. Also in tonight's programme: Actor Ricky Tomlinson's | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
40`year fight to prove he was wrongly jailed in the 1970s moves to | :00:25. | :00:36. | |
Parliament. A Wembley final against Manchester | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
City is the price for Ayr United tonight. Anything less, and the | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
pressure really will be on. And, meet the 81`year`old double | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
European champion who's hoping to pedal his way to further glory. | :00:45. | :00:58. | |
The jury at the William Roache trial has been hearing how he reacted when | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
first arrested on suspicion of rape. The actor told a police officer "I | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
am absolutely surprised and amazed. " The Coronation Street star denies | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
allegations of rape and indecent assault dating back to the 1960s. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Dave Guest has been following developments at Preston Crown Court | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
and joins us now. From the start, William Roache has | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
maintained he has done nothing wrong, and that was the message he | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
gave to detect this during a series of police interviews. Time after | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
time he said he did not know the people he who were accusing him of | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
indecent assault, and he said the incident of which they spokesman | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Simkin never happened. The Coronation Street star arrived | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
today, as he has done on everyday, surrounded by his family. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
He denies all the charges made by a total of five women, who all said it | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
happened whilst they were under 16. Today, the court heard that when the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
police arrived at his home last May, the actor said he was absolutely | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
surprised and amazed to be told he was being arrested on suspicion of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
rape. The accusation dates back to the 1960s. A woman, who is now in | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
her 60s, said he raped her on two separate occasions at two properties | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
he used to own in Lancashire. Interviewed at the police station, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
William Roache said he had no knowledge of the woman and had never | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
raped her. Asked why someone should make up such an accusation, he said: | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
The court heard that when he was arrested at a later date on further | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
charges of indecent assault against four other women, the staff denied | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
any wrongdoing. At one point during the interview, he said: He said | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
youngsters held no attraction for him. This afternoon, the QC for Mr | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
Roach was questioning a detective involved in the investigation. He | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
wanted to know why the detective had interviewed one of the claimant in | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
the presence of her husband, who was himself to become a witness in the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
case. She also queried why the 0th live had taken the alleged rape fit | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Tim to the scene of the alleged crime, but had not actually recorded | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
that officially. She will continue her cross`examination of that | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
detective in the morning. Ricky Tomlinson has been on our | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
screens for decades ` Brookside the Royle Family ` he's one of the | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
region's best known actors. But in 1973, he was a trade unionist and he | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
was in jail for conspiracy, along with several colleagues, following a | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
building industry strike. The so`called "Shrewsbury 24" have | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
always protested their innocence. Tomorrow, ministers will be asked in | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
the Commons to release documents which could prove the men were | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
framed. Arif Ansari reports. 40 years after being jailed, Ricky | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Tomlinson is still trying to clear his name and extract secret | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
documents locked away in Whitehall. It has certainly surprised me, and a | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
lot of other people, particularly the pickets. This case goes to the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
heart of government. It goes to the heart of the Cabinet. Summer 19 2, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
and building labourers go on strike over pay and safety conditions. | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
Conditions were appalling, absolutely appalling. I think we had | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
every right to go out for better health and safety, and better | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
conditions to work in. Documents uncovered by campaigners suggest the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Home Secretary wanted prosecutions. He ordered a review of what happened | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
during the 12 week strike. At the end of August 1972, the Area Strike | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Committee, which included Ricky Tomlinson, met at this pub in | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Chester as picketing spread. What was actually discussed? According to | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the authorities, they were plotting violence, and were subsequently | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
charged with Conspiracy to Intimidate. But those who were here | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
remember it very differently. I have never been a member of the Communist | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Party. You weren't trying to undermine the British state? I | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
consider myself a patriot. Of the 24, 20 to convicted. Ricky Tomlinson | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
got two years. We have got to have our names cleared. Have got have | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
everything squashed. But, why the big campaign for documents | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
continues, ministers have already decided to keep them secret for | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
another decade. A Sri Lankan politician, charged | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
with murdering a Red Cross worker from Rochdale, has been arrested by | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Sri Lankan police, two weeks after jumping bail. Sampath | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Vidana`Pathirana, has now been remanded in custody until the end of | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
his trial which starts in two months. He and five other men are | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
charged with murdering Khuram Shaikh. | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
Police on Merseyside are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
in the face when he opened his front door to someone last night. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
The attack happened in the Bootle area. The victim's injuries are | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
serious, but not thought to be life threatening. Police say it was | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
targeted. Five boys have answered their bail | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
in connection with a huge fire which devastated a school in Lancashire | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
last year. The youths, who are all under the age of 15, were arrested | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
on suspicion of arson after the blaze at St Mary's Roman Catholic | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Technology College in September Students returned to the site in | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
December. Unemployment in the North West has | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
dropped by nearly 8%. Figures show that, between September and | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
November, ?270,000 people in the region were unemployed. That's | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
24,000 fewer than in the previous three`month period. | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
Three of the region's councils are facing tough choices after | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
announcing they need to make tens of millions of pounds in savings. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Preston, Cumbria and Wigan councils have all announced decisions for the | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
budget for the ahead. In some areas it means cuts, but in other areas, | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
they are looking for a more imaginative way around the problem. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Our local councils have some difficult decisions to make as they | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
set their budgets for the year ahead. In Preston, the authority | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
says every service will have to be cut, as it tries to save an extra | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
?3.6 million. That includes the iconic Guild Hall, which may close | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
if a private company can't be found to run it. Cumbria County Council | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
says it's received around 2000 responses to a public consultation | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
on how to tackle what it calls its "toughest ever financial challenge." | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
?24 million needs to be saved. The authority says that equates to 1 in | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
every ?4, which used to be spent on local services. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
In Wigan, another ?15 million will be cut from the budget. So the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
council's proposing a new contract with residents called the Wigan | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Deal. Instead of cutting back services, it's been stepping in to | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
help communities run them instead, as I've been finding out. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
It costs ?200,000 a year to keep this pool in Tyldesley open, but | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
none of that's coming from Wigan Council any more. For the last two | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
years, it's provided the building, and the rest has been up to the | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
community. Few of the staff are paid ` most, like Grace, are volunteers | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
doing it for free. Although I'm not getting paid, I'm getting experience | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
through it, which will look good on my CV. I learned to swim here. My | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
family did as well, so it is my community. When you think you are | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
going to lose it, it makes you realise we need people like me to do | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
things. It's a model the council thinks could save some services that | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
would otherwise disappear with cuts. So, it's offering residents the | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Wigan Deal ` a freeze in Council Tax if they get involved in running more | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
facilities. Just like Beech Hill Library. The charity Book Cycle took | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
over when the council moved out two years ago. We are completely run by | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
volunteers and rely on donations, everything from furniture to the | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
books and the computers they have all been donated by the community. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
Flowers by the roadside might brighten your day, but few | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
authorities can afford to make them a priority. Projects like this in | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
Courage committee is to take ownership of their local areas, and | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
try to make a difference. It is hard for us because we were constantly | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
active. But it is something we like to do. It will just turn up. I can't | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
see any reason why they can't do this anywhere else. Not everyone | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
will want to lend a hand, but Wigan Council hopes that civic pride will | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
spur on many to do their bit. Earlier I spoke to the authority's | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
deputy leader, Councillor David Molyneux, and asked him if the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
scheme would really save that much money. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
When you start to look at the level of cuts that local government are | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
facing, we have got to be realistic about what we can deliver. What we | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
do know is that we can build on projects already going, and you have | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
just given a good example with the swimming pool. I think that is the | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
way the going to have to look all of our services. You are using | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
volunteers, and that is relying on the good nature of the people of | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Wigan. That can only last so long, can't it? | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Well, I don't think any council campaign you how long the government | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
cuts are going to hit us. In Wigan, we have got a very good volunteer | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
sector who have stepped into the breach on a number of projects that | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
are going across the authority. They have proved very worthwhile. It is | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
about delivering services that people expect us to deliver. We have | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
got to help them deliver it themselves. I feel that with the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
Wigan Deal we can do that. We have got some fine examples already, and | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
we can build on them, looking closely with volunteer groups to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
deliver the services that people expect. Once you have gone into | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
libraries and swimming pools, how much further can you go? Are you | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
talking about volunteers going into social services and so on? We have | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
already got a project running in part of the borough where people are | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
doing just that. Some people need the support of a friend or | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
neighbour, where previously they have been relying on home helps and | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
this is now proving a very worthwhile organisation that is in | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
the community, giving the support it requires. I am sure we can spread | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
this across the borough. Still to come on North West Tonight: | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Find out what 14th century Liverpool looked like, when the city's | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
official seal was created. And, we go out for a jog with the | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
81`year`old who's outrunning all the competition. | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
Student fees are still a sore subject for many. But, how about | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
paying for them with a virtual currency? The University of Cumbria | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
has become the first public university in the world to accept | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Bitcoins. The digital money will be accepted for two finance`based | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
courses only. Alison Freeman explains how it works. | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
You can't hold it in your hand, and it is not considered legal tender, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
but the virtual currency bitcoin can be used to pay for a wide range of | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
things, and that now includes education. As of next year, the | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
University of Cumbria will accept the online payments for two | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
financial courses where the role of new kinds of money are being | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
studied. They are the first public university in the world to access | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
this payment. Bitcoin and other cryptographic currencies have really | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
taken off in the last 12 months so we need to include it in our | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
analysis of comp entry currencies, which also includes local | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
currencies, Time banks, or local pounds like in Bristol. Bitcoin is | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
run from a central database which can be accessed by all bitcoin | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
owners. You can either buy your Bitcoins, or you can earn them by | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
processing data for that database. The system runs itself, meaning no | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
one can profit from sitting on transactions. Business students can | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
see both the pitfalls and the benefits. It is probably the way | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
forward, but for the moment, in this current economic world, it is very | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
volatile and I think it is a bit risky and everyone is unsure. This | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
particular type of currency is more popular with those who understand | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
it, and I think it is quite complex. I imagine people would prefer to use | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
the money in their pocket or in the bank. Bitcoin could challenge the | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
financial world in the same way file sharing challenged the music | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
industry, but it seems people need a better understanding of the system | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
before that can happen. Maybe it will catch on. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
In Medieval times, Liverpool was just seven streets and not much | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
else. But it did have an official seal. The one copy is normally kept | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
at the British Museum in London but it's now been brought back to the | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
city which created the original One man reckons it holds the answer to | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
why the city's symbol is a Liver Bird and there's now a campaign to | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
get it housed in Liverpool permanently. Here's our Merseyside | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
Reporter Andy Gill. It's rather small, and we couldn't | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
take it out of the glass to film it. Luckily, they made a bigger version | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
so we can show you it clearly. It's a 19th century copy of the seal of | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Liverpool from 1352, on display here for the first time. In those days, a | :15:25. | :15:38. | |
seal and a visual symbol was as important at times as the writing, | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
so any important document would have needed that authentication from the | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
sale attached to it. A local historian tracked down the seal to a | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
drawer in the British Library in London. And he reckons the modern | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
symbol of the city, the Liver Bird, started here. This seal shows pretty | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
good evidence that the original live bird was, in fact, an eagle of St | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
John, which was the emblem of King John, who granted the city its first | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Charter in 1207. These imagined pictures are as close as we can get | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
to what Medieval Liverpool might have looked like when the long lost | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
original seal was in use. But there would have been a Water Street then, | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
as there is now. One of just seven streets. Almost a rural community, | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
but next to the sea. So, fishing and ship repair down on the foreshore | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
would have been common sites. It took two letters for the British | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
libel to agree that this could come here on loan until the end of March. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
Now there is a campaign to get it on display here permanently. The | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
British Library says it's not allowed to lend out items | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
permanently. But it's happy for it to come back in the future. | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
On to sport, and can United make it an all`Manchester League Cup Final | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
tonight? City cruised through to Wembley last night, but the Reds | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
have it all to do against Sunderland at Old Trafford later. Richard Askam | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
is there live for us. There is a bit of transfer talk | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
there? Yes, Manchester United have approached Chelsea with a view to a | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
35mm and offer for one of their stars will stop he is the sort of | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
player that United needs. They have to overturn a 2`1 deficit against | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
Sunderland if they are to reach the final at Wembley, which would be a | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
boost for David Moyes and perhaps ease things financially as well It | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
has been a little volatile recently and is caused people to ask the | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
question, is this the beginning of the end of the United Empire, or | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
just a blip? Few predicted an easy transition from Sir Alex Ferguson to | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
David Moyes. But on the pitch, one win in five | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
tells its own story. Manchester United are making more money than | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
ever. Revenue for this financial year is estimated at ?400 million. | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
But, the slump on the pitch has led to a large drop in the share price | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
that has wiped about ?300 million off the club's market value. In | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
order to get back into the Champions League, they will probably have to | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
spend big. Sir Alex Ferguson wore United's crown for so long that he | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
was allowed to be king maker and choose his successor. He left behind | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
a team that had won the Premier League title, but one that needs | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
significant reinforcement. Chelsea and Spain star Juan Mata could be | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
about to move to Old Trafford. An indication perhaps that the owners | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
are willing to loosen the purse strings. United have not invested | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
big in the last five years. Their net spend is less than Stoke, for | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
example. If you look at sales less money coming in from purchases, | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Manchester United have not been spending the same amount of money as | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
their competitors. However, United's worldwide fan base is enormous and | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
numbers hundreds of millions. Supporters from all over the world | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
regularly come to Old Trafford in large numbers. But, with the likes | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
of Manchester City and Chelsea increasingly powerful, is the future | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
of Asian Premier League support likely to turn from red to blue If | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
you go to some of these overseas markets, English football is | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Manchester United, as far as many overseas fans are concerned. Do you | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
see that changing? In the short term, probably not. What is clear is | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
that one of football's most in during empires now needs to find a | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
way to strike back. Manchester City have already booked | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
their place at Wembley after completing a 9`0 thrashing of West | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Ham in their semi final last night. Already 6`0 up from the first leg, | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
it took City just three minutes to pile on the misery for Sam | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Allardyce's side when Alvaro Negredo scored for the eighth time in six | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
games. Sergio Aguero doubled their lead on the night midway through the | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
first half while Negredo made it nine from six after the break to | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
secure City's first League Cup Final appearance in 38 years. | :20:26. | :20:39. | |
We are very proud. I think that the plate five games here, we won the | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
five, we scored 19 goals, we just conceded one goal. | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
Rochdale staged an amazing comeback to stay second in League Two, | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
scoring twice in injury time to draw 2`2 away to promotion rivals | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Chesterfield. Trailing 2`0 in added time, Dale were awarded what looked | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
like a consolation penalty for handball. Ian Henderson converted | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
from the spot to set up a frantic finish. The visitors earned their | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
point with just seconds remaining when Peter Vincenti headed home from | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
a corner. As for tonight, we will see how | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
United go. BBC Radio Manchester will have full coverage for you. You also | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
get highlights on the League Cup show on BBC One at 11:15pm. From Old | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Trafford, back to you. Richard, thank you. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
After a life of hard work, I dare say most people in their eighties | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
would like to relax and take it easy. But not Brian Forster from | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Ashton Heyes in Cheshire. Brian suffered a stroke in 2006. As part | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
of his recovery, the lifelong runner and cyclist pushed himself harder | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
and harder until he became a European duathlon champion ` not | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
once but twice. Now he's got his eye set on a third title. Our Cheshire | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
reporter, Mark Edwardson's been trying to keep up with him. | :22:00. | :22:12. | |
Twice a European champion, eager, enthusiastic and 81. Me meet Brian | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
Forster and his wife Alison. Preparing for another day pounding | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
the paths around Delamere Forest. I thought no, I will go back to | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
racing, and I am not going to give up until I have two. He is very | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
obsessive. If he doesn't train, he is as miserable as sin. Whenever he | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
can get out, gets out on his right and goes riding. He is pretty | :22:48. | :22:48. | |
active. Due Avalon is to five kilometre runs | :22:49. | :23:04. | |
with a 20 kilometre ride in between. After the army, he was a motorcycle | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
racer, a road cyclist and a marathon runner, before his/ eight years ago. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
All the money the NHS wasted on me, or the people who encouraged me I | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
was letting them down. I knew that if I didn't start again... You feel | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
like you have had a second chance? Yes. Brian was crowned champion for | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
his age group in 2012, and again last. I liked it so much the first | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
time, I was determined to do it a second time. So, the European | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
champion in 2012 and 2013. If it's probably fair to say that his | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
confidence of a treble is high this year. I better get on with my | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
training. I don't think you would bet against | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
him getting that trouble. It is looking very unsettled. We | :23:58. | :24:11. | |
have got plenty of whether coming your way over the next few days | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Lots of rain to talk about. When it is not raining, we will see plenty | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
of showers. Some showers tonight which will not last. They will leave | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
some clear skies behind. Maybe some frost and fog forming. It will be a | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
bit breezy around the coast, and another line of rain lines up for | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
breakfast tomorrow. Overnight, we could see some hail and thunder | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
Temperatures possibly down to three Celsius in Cheshire, where we may | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
also see some frost. The rain will move through quite quickly. The | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
westerly winds pick up, but there will be some good spells of | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
sunshine. Perhaps some snow on high ground. It will not be warm. A | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
breezy afternoon, just five or six Celsius tomorrow. Tomorrow night, we | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
start off with plenty of cloud around initially, but again, heading | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
into dawn, we see the next band of rain lining up for Friday morning. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
It falls as snow on higher ground. More rain on Friday. On Saturday, | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
maybe a bit of a respite. Maybe some snow flurries, and on Sunday, we are | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
going to see some very wet and windy conditions. Enough rain for The Met | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Office to issue an early weather warning for rain. Lots of rain and | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
showers coming your way. Considering we are almost towards | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
the end of January, we haven't had much snow. | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
We don't know mine `` we don't mind. It will come, don't worry about | :25:55. | :25:55. | |
Good night. We all have hopes and fears | :25:56. | :26:21. | |
for the future and for the lives our children | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
and grandchildren will lead. I want to build a Britain | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
where everyone feels secure, so our long-term economic plan | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
is building a stronger, more competitive economy | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
and securing our country's future. We're reducing the deficit | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
so we deal with our debts, | :26:41. | :26:44. |
