BBC Good evening. Welcome to North West | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight with Roger Johnson and Annabel Tiffin. Our top story. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Ten years on from tragedy on the tracks at Tebay ` questions remain | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
over rail safety. I saw this black object come pass me. Then it ran | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
over them. The only survivor tells us his story. Also tonight. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Arrowepark Hospital admits using unsterilised surgical equipment ` | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
including in a caesarean section. Labour celebrate ` but it's mixed | :00:34. | :00:36. | |

Tomorrow is a poignant anniversary for the families of four railway | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
workers who were killed at Tebay in Cumbria. They were crushed by a | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
runaway trolley loaded with rails. That was ten years ago. An official | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
report highlighted shortcomings which led to the disaster. Ten years | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
on one man who narrowly escaped with his life says safety still isn't | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
good enough. Our Chief Reporter Dave Guest has been to meet him. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
A simple windswept memorial records the names of four men who died doing | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
their job. They were crushed to death by a runaway trolley loaded | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
with 16 tonnes of rails. It careered out of control along the main | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
railway line at Tebay in Cumbria, one morning in February 2004. Those | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
who saw what happened will never forget it. We were just stood | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
between both rails, and then we just happened to stand out, waiting for | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
the lads to knock their keys out. Then I just saw this black object | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
come whizzing past us and then run right over the lads. You had no | :02:09. | :02:20. | |
warning it was coming? No. No. If you'd not stepped out of that | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
moment, then you would have been killed too? Yes. There would have | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
been more fatalities. Gary Tindall was one of the fatalities, so too | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Colin Buckley, Chris Waters and Darren Burgess. An investigation | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
into the accident highlighted various shortcomings that led to | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
tragedy. Tom Angus and others have campaigned since then to improve | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
safety. They acknowledge some improvements have been made, but Tom | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
says runaways still happen. We have had over 70 runaways in different | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
parts of the country. 70 runnaways since 2004? As I know about, yes. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
Network Rail said today that a secondary protection system, which | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
basically sounds an alarm to warm crews of a runaway approaching, will | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
be in place across the country by June. But it will have taken more | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
than ten years to get that secondary warning device in place. What do you | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
think about that? It is disappointing. I'm hoping this time | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
they actually do what they said they would do. Tomorrow, family, friends | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
and colleagues of those who died will gather here to remember the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
terrible events of ten years ago. And also perhaps to hope that | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
lessons really have been learnt A little earlier, I spoke to Mick | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Cash from the RMT Union. I asked him whether there had been any safety | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
improvements in the wake of what happened at Tebay? | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
We have seen some improvements but it is a long time coming. It is a | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
sad indictment on the way beget doing on the road. We are starting | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
to see progress, but it has been slow and you. What would you like to | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
see done now as a matter of urgency? What might be about to happen? As | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
recent as this week we have got approval for Network Rail to extend | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
across the whole of the network This secondary warning system, which | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
the families of those affected by Tebay and RMT branch in Lancaster, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
have been campaigning for a number of years now. That in itself will be | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
a significant help for ensuring track workers' safety, ensuring that | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
if there is runaways in the future, that workers get some sort of added | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
protection. Two men were jailed in the wake of what happened in Tebay, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
because there was a criminal manslaughter case brought. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Notwithstanding that, do you think that secondary system you have | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
mentioned could have prevented this, would have prevented this? If it is | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
in place, we are confident it would have prevented it. The neglect in | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the first place was absolutely astonishing, but there would have | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
been an added layer of protection for the workers if this secondary | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
warning system had been in place, which would have meant that whilst | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
we wouldn't have stopped the runaway, the workers on the site | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
that would have been able to have enough warning to get clear and | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
prevented the accident. Thank you. A hospital in Merseyside has | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
admitted operating on patients with equipment that hadn't been | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
sterilised properly. Nine patients at Arrowe Park Hospital were | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
involved, including a woman having a caesarian section. They've all been | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
tested for infections and found to be unharmed. Stuart Flinders has | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
been looking into the story. No harm done, but this is a breach of basic | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
hygiene, isn't it? The process of sterilising instruments used in | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
operations is supposed to be rigorous. But we were contacted by a | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
viewer who told us that on one occasion in January the normal | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
procedure wasn't followed. Operations were carried out on a | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
number of patients, including a woman having a caesarian section, | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
using instruments that hadn't been sterilised properly, endangering the | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
health of those involved. This is Arrowe Park's Sterile Services | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Department. They use a machine called an autoclave similar to this | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
one. It treats surgical instruments under pressure and at high | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
temperatures to kill off any bacteria. It's a three`stage | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
process. But, on this occasion, the final stage was omitted. The person | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
who got in touch with us blamed the 'overstretching of staff', claiming | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
that basic indicators to show sterilisation has occurred have been | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
removed because of cost`cutting at the hospital. Since being employed | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
within the NHS the things I have seen make me ashamed to say that I | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
work for them, says our correspondent. The Trust that runs | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Arrowe Park says staff aren't overstretched and this has nothing | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
to do with cost`cutting. Procedures have changed, but only because of | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
modernisation. They do admit that when nine of their patients went | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
under the knife in January, the knife wasn't as clean as it should | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
have been. Immediate action was taken, they say. The medical | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
instruments affected were identified. The patients concerned | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
have been contacted and tested for infection and given the all`clear. A | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
statement from the Trust goes on: Rigorous processes, training and | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
staff support are in place and a detailed investigation is on` going | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to identify the cause and ensure there is no repetition. ?NEWLINE | :07:23. | :07:35. | |
Meanwhile, a report into care provided by the Royal Liverpool and | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Broadgreen Hospital Trust has highlighted concerns over staffing. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
The Care Quality Commission has warned the Trust it must take action | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
` to minimise infection risk, manage medicines more effectively and | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
improve dignity and privacy of patients. But overall, it found safe | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
and effective care. An Australian driver, who was high | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
on drugs and crashed a stolen car into a taxi killing a Manchester | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
scientist, has been jailed. Sean Barrett, a quantum physicist, had | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
just arrived in Perth in Western Australia for a science conference. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Anthony Fogarty has been sentenced to 11 years. A jury in the real | :08:05. | :08:15. | |
trial of the Attorney General has been discharged after failing to | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
reach a verdict. Stephen Harden was accused of perjury and act against | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
public justice. He was suspended as a government main adviser in 20 2 | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
and has been bailed pending the possibility of another retrial. | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
Neighbours in a south Manchester suburb have reacted with shock and | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
sadness today to the news that a 20`year`old local man has been | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
killed fighting with the rebels in Syria. Anil Kahil Raolfi sent a | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
series of tweets and pictures from the front line. It's believed he was | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
killed just days after. His death comes as the government voiced | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
concern over increasing number of British Muslims travelling to fight | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
in Syria. Gill Dummigan reports A quiet unremarkable street in one | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
of Manchester's most desirable suburbs. Today coming to terms with | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
the fact that a young neighbour Anil Khalil Raoufi, flew thousands | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
of miles to fight, and ultimately die with the Syrian rebels. We knew | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
the family were quiet and peace loving people. I am surprised, yes. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Very surprised and very sorry. Today, only police at the home. The | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
family have been moved elsewhere. While we are investigating the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
circumstances around the death, his family are not under investigation. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
There are no suspicions attached to them. The family would like to take | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
this opportunity to find Greater Manchester Police for their | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
sensitivity. The family will not be talking to the media and want to be | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
left alone in peace. This is Anil in Syria. By now he'd renamed himself | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Abu Layth. On his twitter feed he talks excitedly about the | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
thunderclap of the bombs. He compares the battlefield to a scene | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
from Star Wars and describes the bullets flying inches above their | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
heads. On January the 30th, the tweets stop. Worshippers were | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
collecting the Syrian refugees after Friday prayers. But the subject of | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
fighting abroad got a mixed response. They are doing nothing | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
about it. People get driven crazy, or do something. They have no | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
business doing that. There are charities and organisations that | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
help people. When it comes to fighting, I don't think, | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
Denbighshire be done. The comment says it is expecting a problem with | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
jihadi is returning to the UK `` government. It is a war thousands of | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
miles away, but it has been apparent that in the street it can impact at | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
home. Nearly 1000 homes are still without | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
power this evening after hurricane force storms hit the North West two | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
days ago. Engineers from North West Electric and ScottishPower are | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
continuing to work across the region to restore the supply. Homes in | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Mid`Cheshire are worst affected and around 100 across Wirral, South | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
Cumbria, Lancashire and Manchester are still waiting to be reconnected. | :11:10. | :11:19. | |
We are in the countryside and there is no central heating, there's no | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
heating. We can't have gas or anything like that, so we can't | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
cook, we can't have warmth or have lights. Oh, it's horrible. When | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
you're older you feel the cold. That is the problem. It has come back on | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
just now, just this minute. That must be a relief? Yes, I can have a | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
cup of tea now. It's not a constituency used to | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
change. But early this morning the voters of Wythenshawe and Sale East | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
chose only their third MP in 50 years. Yes, Labour's Mike Kane won a | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
convincing victory in the by` election, caused by the death of the | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
former MP Paul Goggins. Our political editor Arif Ansari was at | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
the count overnight and assesses the implications of the vote. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
The Labour Leader Ed Miliband was in the constituency this morning | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
enjoying a convincing win in a safe seat. But celebrations had started | :12:08. | :12:20. | |
well before the result. It is a great honour to represent your | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
hometown, so I am delighted. Sad circumstances with the death of | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Paul, but tremendously dedicated public servant will be huge shoes to | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
fill. I hope the champion his causes and carry on his work. As the votes | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
were counted, it was clear Labour had seen off the threat from UKIP. I | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
think we were comes second. I'll be happy if we do. That represents | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
good, growth. But not the political breakthrough some in the leadership | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
had hoped for. Labour had won more than half the vote. But while UKIP | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
was well behind, it did manage to knock the Conservatives into third | :13:00. | :13:07. | |
place. The Prime Minister, inspect and storm damage, was dusting off | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
the political damage. These are times where people know they can | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
send a message and make a protest about changing the government, but | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
there messages I always listen to them closely and I will do on this | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
occasion. The Liberal Democrats chose to suffer in silence, after | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
securing less than 5% of the vote. While some are lost for words, | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
voters spoke out, selecting only their third MP in 50 years. . The | :13:38. | :13:52. | |
big question throughout this election was how well would UKIP do. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
What do you make of their result? You are right. How well would they | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
do was a subtext. Let's look at what happened. There was a strong showing | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
four years ago. You could barely features but strong support for the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
Tories and Lib Dems. What happened overnight, you can see that Labour | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
shoot ahead even further. UKIP have a substantial jump, there is no | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
doubt about it. They go into second place. The Lib Dems are virtually | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
destroyed. The Tories take a hit. If you look at that, yes you can save | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
UKIP second, but quite a distance to labour. They are not close and only | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
just ahead of Tories. I don't think they have succeeded in saying they | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
are the main opposition to Labour in these kinds of constituencies. This | :14:51. | :15:03. | |
is great for my came `` Mike Cane. We have on Sunday on Sunday | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Politics. He will be one of our guests and also some of UKIP will | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
stop they will have a discussion if there is any thing to talk about. | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
Still to come on North West Tonight. Who will be getting their hands on | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
the FA Cup this year? It could be one of four North West teams. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
And it may be wet, but the Lake District is THE place for | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
Valentine's Day love. Last week we had technology giant | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Apple lauding a teacher from the Isle of Man, Alex Townsend, as one | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
of the top 30 innovators of the last 30 years. Today, one of its biggest | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
competitors has been in Liverpool to encourage youngsters to follow his | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
path. Google is supporting a project called "code club". It's been set up | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
to help schoolchildren learn how to programme computers and not just use | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
their features. Mark Edwardson went along to watch them learn the trick | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
of the trade. The 21st`century boys of St Margaret's Anfield C of E | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
primary school expertly crafting and creating computer code. Once you | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
locate a net it will make a sound effect. We have had a lot of | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
software. This is Code Club, an organisation set up to teach | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
children programming skills. I enjoy it because it gets you out of maths | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
in school. I would like to do it as a job because it is fun. Google are | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
supporting Code Club. The technology giant is on a nationwide tour that | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
landed in Liverpool today. Some of these kids are brilliant and may | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
well become programmers, not with the fantastic because it is a skill | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
which is becoming more important across the economy, not just a | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Google but in other sectors. Running quietly in the background are | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
science and maths. We liken it to sneak and vegetables into a meal, so | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
they are having fun and make it exciting things. They don't realise | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
they are learning all these amazing computer science concepts. This | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
might look like fun but it is also serious. From now on children as | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
young as five will be taught as to programme as well as using | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
computers. Children have come in fresh today. They're been helped as | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
well. Maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks But within a decade | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
some of these whizz kids could be driving the digital world. Mark | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Edwardson, BBC North West tonight, Liverpool. | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
Sport now, and the FA Cup in a moment but Richard some news first | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
of all on an investigation into a well known manager? Yes we | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
understand that the Tranmere Rovers manager Ronnie Moore is being | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
investigated by the Football Association over a claim he breached | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
betting rules. It's understood the allegation relates to regulations | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
preventing him from betting in any competition in which the club is | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
involved. I should stress we don't yet know any more about this | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
allegation, although he hasn't been charged or suspended. Neither the | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
club nor the FA is making any comment. This is Ronnie Moore's | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
second stint in charge of the club he played for as well. Rovers are | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
currently two places above the League One relegation zone. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
The FA Cup takes centre stage this weekend and the holders, Wigan | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Athletic, are still in there. Now a Championship club of course, not | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
many Latics fans will be thinking lightning is likely to strike twice. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
But they face Cardiff City, who re bottom of the Premier League, and | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
will certainly fancy their chances of making the quarter finals. And | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
our three remaining top flight teams all have good reason to think their | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
name could be the next one on that famous trophy. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
It was a victory which restored the romance of the cup. Wigan Athletic | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
may have gone down from the Premier League but they will go down in | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
history as one of the FA Cup's greatest stories. Even though they | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
are even bigger underdogs this time, they're not ready to wave | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
goodbye just yet. We go to Cardiff with optimism and confidence, and I | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
think we can surprise them. Wiggin's unforgettable Wembley | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
moment was certainly want to forget for beaten finalists Manchester | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
City. They're part of the quarterfinals this time could not be | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
easier. Premier League leaders Chelsea, who beat city a week and a | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
half ago standard no way. We see tomorrow best 11 starting against | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Chelsea, and we have an important game on Tuesday, so we will see | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
tomorrow the team. There is a feeling amongst Everton fans that | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
perhaps this could be their year put up blue supporters have their day | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
out at Wembley in 2009, losing to Chelsea. Of course, they now have a | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
man in charge who knows exactly what it is like to win it. We are facing | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
a very much welcome distraction with the FA Cup. The fifth round is | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
always exciting. A different competition, and a different day, | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
but Liverpool's next opponents have certainly been warned. Arsenal. The | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
smarting from their recent hammering at the hands of Brendan Rodgers s | :20:39. | :20:49. | |
men. We want to win the FA cup. It is different for Arsenal and they | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
have a massive game after us. Some cracking matches. In the Winter | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
Olympics the 2008 world champion is 2.7 seconds behind leader from | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
Russia, but no .6 seconds from bronze medal. He said he was pleased | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
when he is weird and can only improve. Watch out for him when the | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
competition resumes on BBC Two. Superleague now. This week we | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
featured Australian Luke Walsh settling into a new life in St | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Helens as he prepared for the new season. Well, he made an amazing | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
debut last night by scoring 18 points as Saint's demolished | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
Warrington Wolves 38`8. This was his try. Joel Monaghan had put Wolves | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
ahead with two tries. But man of the match Walsh responded by kicking | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
seven goals from as many attempts. Fellow newcomer Kyle Amor was also a | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
tryscorer. Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
Diamond names an unchanged back line, and makes three changes in the | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
pack for tonight's home match against Saracens. Eifion | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
Lewis`Roberts, Marc Jones and Andrei Ostrikov replace Ross Harrison, | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
Tommy Taylor and Jonathan Mills And you can hear commentary of Sale s | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
match tonight on BBC Radio Manchester on line. Your local BBC | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
Radio stations will also be covering this weekend's FA Cup matches on FM | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
and Medium Wave. I saw you struggling into the office Web | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
valentines cards? They were all obviously. `` with Valentines | :22:29. | :22:41. | |
cards. It might have escaped your notice | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
but today is the day of love ` St Valentines day. And apparently | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Britain's place of love is the Lake District which is currently listed | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
as Britain's most romantic destination. Now the search is on to | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
find the top spot there for popping the question. Peter Marshall can | :22:56. | :23:07. | |
explain. It says here he is our own heart`throb. | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
The Lake District where apparently there is love in the air. I got | :23:17. | :23:29. | |
walking a lot and there are couples hand in hand. Most hands were firmly | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
holding brollies today. Rain aside, the Lake District National authority | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
wants to find the best place for a proposal. What makes us west | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
romantically? We have beautiful mountains in the distance. You can't | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
see them today. We have lovely lakes and beautiful woodlands and glorious | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
places to propose. So, potential proposal locations. What about | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
Darling fell or Hart crag? What about not rake? He is a suggestion. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Where ever you choose, maybe you have to do it in the summer. Online, | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
many suggestions. Roberta says, but year. Eric says he proposed his wife | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
near a river. He has been happily married seven years. | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
May be somewhere around Ambleside or Windermere. Is of romantic? Not in | :24:33. | :24:45. | |
this weather. Paris. The place of love. If you would like to follow in | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Bill Clinton's footsteps, he proposed here. It looks like this. | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
Someone put on Facebook they went to the Lake District and it rained all | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
week on their honeymoon. If the weather is like that, or you have | :25:05. | :25:15. | |
left is to be romantic. It shows that he is a loose romantic man in | :25:16. | :25:27. | |
the world Paris is romantic. Sunday is the best they are by far. Sunday | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
is drier and brighter. There will be some rain at the tail end of the day | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
but things will allow you to get out and about. This man arraigned today | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
has been very fragmented. It started to get its act together again. It'll | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
be a Sunday night denied. Most places will see this rain coming and | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
going. The wind gradually starts to pick itself up again. The only | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
positive thing I can say in this broadcast is that the cloud hold | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
your temperatures up to five or six degrees, which is quite unexpected | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
at this time of year. Tomorrow morning is the same old story. That | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
band of rain which will come and go. We have winds of gale force as well. | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
By the time you get a lunch time, things look a bit better on Isle of | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
Man. It moves in everywhere and we were seasoned brighter skies coming | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
through, hopefully. There will be one or two showers because the wind | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
is blustery and the air is chilly. They could have a wintry component, | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
but hopefully you won't see too many of them. The temperatures hardly | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
rise to six or seven. That'll be the best you get. Sunday should not be | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
too bad. The morning is dry and bright. We will have rain at the | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
end, but it is the best day of the weekend. Cumbria police have said a | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
number of roads have been affected by snow and pro`driving conditions | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
and please stick to the main routes. You will have noticed the others | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
change the set. It is Valentine s Day. And we have a couple of lovely | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
stories ` from couples of different generations to finish. James and | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
Gertrude Wigley from Newton`le`Willows ` married 72 years | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
years ago today. Gertrude's 92 ` Arthur's 94 tomorrow. Celebrations | :27:26. | :27:36. | |
