Good evening. It's estimated that up to 1,000 people have marched through

:00:00.:00:16.

Manchester today in protest against fracking. Demonstrators opposed to

:00:17.:00:18.

the controversial gas extraction method were joined by members of the

:00:19.:00:22.

protest camp at Barton Moss who are awaiting a court decision that could

:00:23.:00:25.

see them evicted. Yunus Mulla reports. They'd hoped it wotld be

:00:26.:00:34.

one of the biggest protests yet ` according to police, the march

:00:35.:00:39.

attracted up to 1,000 peopld. It's really important for our chhldren's

:00:40.:00:45.

future. It's so harmful. Thd fall out... In terms of public hdalth...

:00:46.:00:56.

It's dangerous. I'm here because fracking is bad. The governlent

:00:57.:01:00.

believes shale gas has the potential to provide the UK with greater

:01:01.:01:03.

energy, security, growth and jobs. Ministers say that studies show the

:01:04.:01:07.

process of fracking by which the gas is extracted is safe. We nedd to be

:01:08.:01:15.

smarter. Use our energy better ` renewable and clean energy. We need

:01:16.:01:19.

to do it now. The technologx is there. We need the political will.

:01:20.:01:23.

Fracking is the last gasp of the fossil fuel dinosaurs. Todax's march

:01:24.:01:26.

comes on the eve of a cruci`l decision expected tomorrow ` on

:01:27.:01:29.

whether protesters at Barton Moss should be evicted or allowed to

:01:30.:01:34.

stay. Currently around 60 pdople are camping near the site where Igas is

:01:35.:01:37.

test drilling. This man was involved in stopping lorries entering the

:01:38.:01:46.

site. If it goes against us, we ll move to wherever else. We won't

:01:47.:01:49.

stop. Today's protest was pdaceful and the march ended with calpaigners

:01:50.:01:52.

confident they had sent a clear message.

:01:53.:02:01.

A 14`year`old girl has died in a car crash on the Isle of Man. Police say

:02:02.:02:05.

they believe she was one of eight teenagers in the car that c`me off

:02:06.:02:09.

the switchback road near Pedl at about 11pm last night. Hundreds of

:02:10.:02:12.

tributes to the girl, who's been named locally as Lucia Portdr, have

:02:13.:02:15.

been made on her mother's F`cebook page. Five other teenagers remain in

:02:16.:02:18.

hospital following the crash. Investigators are keen to hdar from

:02:19.:02:24.

any witnesses. It's exactly a week since a fire

:02:25.:02:28.

broke out at a paper recyclhng plant in Salford. The blaze ` which is

:02:29.:02:31.

smouldering beneath the surface ` is continuing to give off thick smoke.

:02:32.:02:34.

A joint investigation into how the fire started has begun. Meanwhile,

:02:35.:02:37.

officers say the operation to fully extinguish the flames could last

:02:38.:02:42.

another two weeks. It could take a fortnight. I'd like to think it will

:02:43.:02:47.

take less time. Hopefully it will. This isn't unusual... It can take a

:02:48.:02:52.

long time. There are pockets which will burst into flames when they

:02:53.:02:55.

come into contact with air. It's a slow process to get to ground floor

:02:56.:03:10.

level. On to sport now, and there've been

:03:11.:03:14.

two games involving north wdst sides in Super League this afternoon.

:03:15.:03:17.

Despite leading at half timd, Wigan Warriors lost by 31 points to 3

:03:18.:03:20.

against Castleford at the Whsh Communications Stadium. But there's

:03:21.:03:23.

better news for fans of Warrington Wolves who beat London Broncos by 44

:03:24.:03:26.

points to 16. Football next, and Wigan Athletic

:03:27.:03:28.

:03:29.:03:32.

Jordi Gomez put the Latics `head from the penalty spot in thd first

:03:33.:03:36.

half, and James Perch added a second after half`time. City pulled one

:03:37.:03:39.

back through Samir Nasri but could not find an equaliser. The cup

:03:40.:03:42.

holders now face Arsenal in a semi final at Wembley.

:03:43.:03:48.

In the Sky Bet Championship, Burnley beat neighbours Blackburn Rovers at

:03:49.:03:52.

Ewood Park for the first tile since 1979 this afternoon. Rovers were

:03:53.:03:55.

first on the score sheet in the East Lancashire derby with this goal from

:03:56.:03:59.

Jordan Rhodes 24 minutes into the first half. But Burnley equ`lised in

:04:00.:04:03.

the second half through captain Jason Shackell, who headed hn a Ross

:04:04.:04:10.

:04:11.:04:13.

for Sean Dyche's side, who loved eight points clear in the sdcond

:04:14.:04:21.

automatic promotion spot. It's fantastic. We've given the fans

:04:22.:04:26.

something to remember. The players deserve enormous credit for

:04:27.:04:28.

everything they're doing thhs season but certainly for today.

:04:29.:04:33.

And you can get much more rdaction from the celebrating Clarets fans at

:04:34.:04:37.

the East Lancashire derby ` and all the rest of the north west's teams `

:04:38.:04:41.

in Late Kick Off. That's on BBC One at 11.20pm tomorrow evening.

:04:42.:04:49.

Let's take a look at the we`ther forecast now. Here's Charlid Slater.

:04:50.:04:54.

Good evening. Commiserations if you were under the coastal cloud today.

:04:55.:05:00.

Tomorrow will be much better. Temperatures were around 16 and 17

:05:01.:05:07.

today, and it will be a mild night. Rain clears away. This part of the

:05:08.:05:18.

North West gets the best of the brightness. Blue skies and sunshine.

:05:19.:05:25.

It's relatively mild for thd time of year. As you can see, thanks to this

:05:26.:05:36.

high pressure, it's settled. It doesn't look like it wants to move

:05:37.:05:40.

so it should be dry and settled for the rest of the working week. That's

:05:41.:05:46.

all for now. Goodbye. Aggro in good and Wales had warm

:05:47.:06:17.

weather today with the hotspot Gravesend in Kent.

:06:18.:06:21.

For Scotland and Ireland, your weather will improve this week. It

:06:22.:06:26.

wasn't there today with the cloud. Some rain in Northern Ireland

:06:27.:06:30.

pushing across more of Scotland and the next few hours. This weather

:06:31.:06:35.

front is moving south overnight but by the end of the night is nothing

:06:36.:06:41.

more than a bit of cloud. Behind it, skies clear by the end of the

:06:42.:06:45.

night in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so a touch of frost, patchy

:06:46.:06:50.

ice and fog. Tomorrow brings a complete reversal of fortunes. The

:06:51.:06:55.

northern half of the UK will be sunny once any patchy fog clears

:06:56.:06:58.

away. Not much warmer numerically but in the sunshine, it will feel

:06:59.:07:03.

warmer, whereas much of England and Wales will be cloudy and cooler

:07:04.:07:07.

compared to today, especially along the North Sea coast, with cloud and

:07:08.:07:12.

a brisk north-easterly wind. Where we saw 19 degrees today, it will be

:07:13.:07:15.

closer to nine tomorrow,
