effort to put people off smoking. That is all from the BBC News at

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening. Welcome to thd programme. Our top story: The lies

:00:00.:00:15.

behind the stories. Loved ones remember their lost relativds at the

:00:16.:00:23.

Hillsborough inquest. Also tonight, DJ Campbell is one of 13 footballers

:00:24.:00:30.

held by police investigating allegations of spot fixing. And

:00:31.:00:35.

health warnings because of their quality. The Grand National Festival

:00:36.:00:42.

gets off to a flying start `t Aintree. And you will not bdlieve

:00:43.:00:51.

how much this historic bed, found in a Chester car park, is thought to be

:00:52.:00:54.

worth. Let my children know their dad was

:00:55.:01:11.

not a hooligan. Those were the words today of one widow who brokd down in

:01:12.:01:16.

tears at the new Hillsborough inquest this morning. She w`s one of

:01:17.:01:23.

several relatives who wept `s they read out stories of their loved

:01:24.:01:32.

ones. One teenager left rosds on the doorstep of his girl friend on his

:01:33.:01:38.

way to the game. This must have been a very emotional day for thd

:01:39.:01:46.

families. It was toughest of all for those giving tributes, often in

:01:47.:01:50.

tears and needing support from other family members. One insurance agent

:01:51.:01:58.

who was a big music fan, his tribute was written by his widow and was

:01:59.:02:05.

read out in court by his son. His son read out part of this tribute

:02:06.:02:12.

again for hours afterwards. He was very popular with all of his

:02:13.:02:16.

customers, many of whom four and after his death. They showed their

:02:17.:02:22.

love for him by attending hhs funeral. Many had to stand outside.

:02:23.:02:29.

That was the first tribute of the day but there were more read out?

:02:30.:02:37.

Yes, one railwayman had changed his shifts to go to the match, he had

:02:38.:02:41.

five children under six when he died. His widow asked to let his

:02:42.:02:49.

children know he was not a football hooligan, just a hard`working man

:02:50.:02:54.

who was the football fan. The hardest thing is that the children

:02:55.:02:58.

have limited memories of thdir father. A 19`year`old had ldft to

:02:59.:03:07.

roses on the doorstep of his girl friend the night before the match

:03:08.:03:13.

but did not wake her up bec`use he knew she had to go to work. His

:03:14.:03:21.

father tells us about his son. He was an enthusiastic young m`n

:03:22.:03:25.

particularly about his football and his girl friend, they seemed to be

:03:26.:03:32.

his two main things in life. We tried to encourage him wherdver we

:03:33.:03:39.

could. The families themselves have said how moving these tributes were.

:03:40.:03:45.

The judge said they were as moving as he said they would be. There was

:03:46.:03:51.

one woman, a radiographer from Lancashire, her husband said she

:03:52.:03:57.

loved music and became a vegetarian after listening to one song cold

:03:58.:04:06.

Meat Is Murder he said he spoke for her family and himself when he said

:04:07.:04:13.

she is dearly mist today. 123`year`old student, his shsters

:04:14.:04:17.

said they were left thinking about him and what he could have `chieved,

:04:18.:04:23.

a successful career, a family and many more dreams but we will never

:04:24.:04:28.

know. We are getting older but he is not. Our parents were left

:04:29.:04:35.

devastated. The final tribute was to a boyfriend and girlfriend who died

:04:36.:04:42.

together. His mum said their lives changed for ever that awful day she

:04:43.:04:47.

did not imagine a life without her son and did not want a life without

:04:48.:04:56.

him. We also heard other trhbutes and they will continue on Monday.

:04:57.:05:06.

Blackburn Rovers DJ Campbell is one of six players that have bedn

:05:07.:05:13.

rearrested as part of a polhce investigation into spot fixhng in

:05:14.:05:19.

football. They have been interviewed at police stations across the

:05:20.:05:24.

country as part of an investigation into alleged bribery and

:05:25.:05:28.

money`laundering. Our reporter has more. This investigation began last

:05:29.:05:37.

December when six players wdre arrested on suspicion of conspiracy

:05:38.:05:43.

to commit acts of bribery and money`laundering relating to

:05:44.:05:46.

football matches. We understood at the time that the G Campbell was one

:05:47.:05:53.

of them, he used to play for Blackpool and at the time hd was a

:05:54.:05:57.

Blackburn Rovers player although she, too, has now moved on. `` DJ

:05:58.:06:05.

Campbell. A further seven h`ve now been arrested. Seven new arrests,

:06:06.:06:13.

what can you tell us about those? Again, they are not being n`med by

:06:14.:06:19.

the National Crime Agency btt the tellers they are between thd ages of

:06:20.:06:24.

18 and 30 and all play for football league clubs based here in the

:06:25.:06:30.

north`west, not Premier League clubs or clubs in the championship or

:06:31.:06:37.

Leagues one and two. The investigation began with sole secret

:06:38.:06:41.

filming by the Sun newspaper which showed the players detailing how

:06:42.:06:48.

they had been paid to carry out several acts within the gamd. Spot

:06:49.:06:55.

fixing is not about trying to influence the overall result in the

:06:56.:07:00.

game but incidents within the game that people can place bets on. 3

:07:01.:07:07.

people within the north`west are being investigated. Thank you. No

:07:08.:07:16.

one man from Liverpool was `mong those providing character evidence

:07:17.:07:26.

for Nigel evidence today. One MP cold him a dedicated and supportive

:07:27.:07:32.

colleague. He denies nine charges. The family of this 12`year`old whose

:07:33.:07:37.

body was discovered yesterd`y said he was the sweetest child and their

:07:38.:07:45.

hearts are completely broken. He was found hanged at his warm on Tuesday,

:07:46.:07:49.

there were no suspicious circumstances. A man from, there has

:07:50.:07:57.

become the first person to be prosecuted in the UK for thd

:07:58.:08:01.

dangerous and illegal flying of a Braun fitted with a camera. It

:08:02.:08:08.

crashed into the water near the EEE Systems site in August. He was

:08:09.:08:23.

fined. `` BAE. Their qualitx is being affected by small gatd

:08:24.:08:27.

conditions coming from the continent. People with rest at every

problems are being warned to avoid deep breathing exercises. `` smoggy.

:08:46.:08:57.

These levels of pollution wdre taken one hour ago. When you look further

:08:58.:09:03.

and Dick Bieber into the conditions `` dig deeper. We have got some

:09:04.:09:12.

pictures of the Albert docks which showed just how bad visibilhty is

:09:13.:09:17.

there. You can bear Lisi anxthing at all just towards where they live

:09:18.:09:22.

birds are just by the river. `` Bierley CE. `` barely see. The damp

:09:23.:09:38.

has been contributing to it but pollution is higher than we wanted.

:09:39.:09:45.

Have hospital seen an incre`se in attendances from people with

:09:46.:09:49.

desperately conditions? The hospitals say it is difficult to see

:09:50.:09:54.

because there are often lots of people presenting with resphratory

:09:55.:10:00.

problems at this time of ye`r. If you do have a condition that is

:10:01.:10:04.

getting worse do seek medic`l advice. Conditions should gdt better

:10:05.:10:12.

tomorrow. The husband of ond woman says she is not a spy but a

:10:13.:10:19.

housewife from Stockport. The mature student has spent five months in

:10:20.:10:25.

deal in Iran after visiting family in the country. She wrote critical

:10:26.:10:30.

remarks about the regime on her Facebook page. Her husband has left

:10:31.:10:39.

Stockport to try to bring hdr home. The prison I think is notorhous for

:10:40.:10:46.

its name. This is where the naturalised UK citizen, a Stockport

:10:47.:10:51.

housewife, has been held since October. She is worried thex will

:10:52.:10:59.

execute car or something. Hdr crime, listed in this chargd sheet,

:11:00.:11:05.

is plotting against the reghme. To do this she wrote negative comments

:11:06.:11:11.

on Facebook. Harmless by our standards but not by the st`ndards

:11:12.:11:18.

of Iran. She took a flight there to see family and when she landed she

:11:19.:11:23.

was arrested. Her husband h`s not seen her since. This man is a family

:11:24.:11:32.

friend who is on the phone to the Foreign Office when we meet. The

:11:33.:11:37.

diplomacy is complicated. Rdlations between the UK and Iran are not

:11:38.:11:44.

good. I do not think that is unacceptable way to treat a British

:11:45.:11:50.

citizen or any citizen. I al asking the Foreign Secretary to make some

:11:51.:11:54.

enquiries and see what we c`n sort out. She is not a political activist

:11:55.:12:03.

or a threat to any regime. She is a housewife, a student, just ` normal

:12:04.:12:11.

citizen. It would take two xears or two months or something terrible

:12:12.:12:18.

could happen. We do not really know. The Foreign Office spokesman said we

:12:19.:12:22.

are aware of reports and ard looking into them urgently. Still to come

:12:23.:12:29.

tonight: We are at the launch of the Imperial War Museum North to mark

:12:30.:12:36.

the centenary of the First World War. And this is found in a chest

:12:37.:12:43.

car park. How much do you think this old bed is worth? You will not

:12:44.:12:50.

believe how much! It is wonderful. If you imagine it with its original

:12:51.:12:57.

colours it is effectively a piece of Tudor line. ICV there is no mattress

:12:58.:13:07.

with it though! Now the tald of the Roman Catholic primary school with

:13:08.:13:12.

no catholic pupils. It has lainly me as long children. The local dieses

:13:13.:13:17.

says it can no longer run it. They have turned to the Anglican church

:13:18.:13:24.

for help. It is thought to be the first case of its kind in the

:13:25.:13:29.

country. Teachers and children of the Roman Catholic school w`lk in

:13:30.:13:33.

their annual procession through the city. Their parade in 1938, the

:13:34.:13:41.

north`west has always had a strong tradition of Catholicism. There are

:13:42.:13:46.

165 catholic primary schools but that there is one they learn over

:13:47.:13:52.

chilly no catholic. We had `lmost 200 non`Catholic children in the

:13:53.:13:56.

school who needed to be catdred for and we did not think we could simply

:13:57.:14:00.

close the school and walk away. They are obliged to promote the catholic

:14:01.:14:06.

faith but that is hardly pr`ctical when most of the pupils are Muslim.

:14:07.:14:12.

They started talking to the Anglican dieses of Blackbird who havd

:14:13.:14:22.

recently set up an academy chain. The children will see very little

:14:23.:14:37.

change. `` Blackbird. `` Bl`ckburn. It will be a seamless transhtion.

:14:38.:14:43.

The people we have spoken to will want to stay where they are. What do

:14:44.:14:49.

you think about the fact it will be another Christian organisathon? I am

:14:50.:14:57.

not bothered at all. I think it is important children have perspective

:14:58.:15:04.

on religions. As long as thd education is still there it is all

:15:05.:15:11.

right. So far this story has been one of cooperation, the catholic

:15:12.:15:15.

school working with the Anglican dieses, working with the Muslim

:15:16.:15:20.

organisation here for the good of the children. It has been the first

:15:21.:15:31.

day of racing at the Grand National Festival at Aintree. More than

:15:32.:15:36.

150,000 people are expected to visit because over the three days. A hat?

:15:37.:15:47.

No, they fascinate! We have had a press release which said 33,460

:15:48.:15:55.

people went today which is ` record. Jockeys and punters all searching

:15:56.:16:00.

for that elusive big win. Otr reporter went today. There hs always

:16:01.:16:06.

a particular bars on the Thtrsday. We have had a special race today,

:16:07.:16:11.

the Hillsborough families fox hunters steeplechase. We ard

:16:12.:16:17.

approaching the 25th anniversary of the disaster. The race was ` lovely

:16:18.:16:24.

tribute to the families, all part of the special atmosphere here. It is a

:16:25.:16:42.

beautiful place. It is a grdat event. We come every year and we

:16:43.:16:53.

enjoy it a lot. I have been here every year since 1967 in a different

:16:54.:16:59.

guise. I love it. It builds every time. These gentlemen are invited to

:17:00.:17:08.

bring a bit of military glalour and guard the trophy. They are not

:17:09.:17:14.

allowed to talk to people btt let's see if I can speak to this trooper

:17:15.:17:24.

with my amazing repertoire of jokes. Toothfish in a tank, one saxs to the

:17:25.:17:32.

other, how do you dry this thing? We are a family firm, we have been

:17:33.:17:39.

working for 40 years. Today 's work is 10% of my whole year. Thd changes

:17:40.:17:49.

are right. The atmosphere w`s buzzing. They have altered the

:17:50.:17:59.

fences. Two horsemen walked into a bar and the barman says is this some

:18:00.:18:06.

sort of a joke? I tell you what he is far too good. Top horse racing,

:18:07.:18:16.

they attract some fantastic courses. It is watched right around the world

:18:17.:18:22.

and it is right on our doorstep It is just fantastic. I am surd I made

:18:23.:18:30.

him laugh in the end. We will have more on the build`up to the Grand

:18:31.:18:35.

National from ladies Day at Aintree tomorrow. It was just the jokes that

:18:36.:18:42.

were hopeless! I find them puite funny! I have never been to Aintree

:18:43.:18:47.

and I am looking forward to going tomorrow. A bit of rugby le`gue news

:18:48.:19:00.

for you. That if Cork turns up tonight. He has been sidelined with

:19:01.:19:16.

an ankle injury for last month. `` Gareth Hock. The Imperial W`r Museum

:19:17.:19:26.

North uses objects and recordings to show how the war shaped our region.

:19:27.:19:34.

Many have never been on show before. Our reporter is there. This evening

:19:35.:19:42.

a special reception is being held here at the Imperial War Museum to

:19:43.:19:46.

launch the biggest exhibition they have ever staged. It tells the story

:19:47.:19:53.

of the First World War in tdrms of life on the front and life here on

:19:54.:19:59.

the home front. There will be dignitaries and politicians but also

:20:00.:20:03.

relatives of those whose itdms feature in the exhibition. From the

:20:04.:20:13.

streets to the trenches, thd exhibition shows every aspect of

:20:14.:20:18.

life during the war and the aspect it has had on life since thd

:20:19.:20:29.

conflict. That is my grandad. He was the trapeze dope man and he served

:20:30.:20:38.

using the Battle of Jutland. `` poor people man. `` torpedo. He was just

:20:39.:20:54.

doing his job. He did not think he was the hero. Many of these exhibits

:20:55.:20:59.

have never been on public dhsplay before. This is the largest

:21:00.:21:06.

exhibition we have ever dond. It is really unique on focusing on this

:21:07.:21:10.

region and looking at its contribution. This was my great

:21:11.:21:19.

uncle. He joined the Lancashire Regiment in September 1914. His

:21:20.:21:29.

great uncle was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. His

:21:30.:21:35.

story was one of many told hn the exhibition thanks to donations from

:21:36.:21:50.

relatives. His colleague had his head blown off by a sniper so they

:21:51.:21:55.

buried him at the bottom of the trench, that was all we could do.

:21:56.:22:01.

They were making munitions hn a factory in Manchester saw it as

:22:02.:22:06.

quite a unique exhibition and the first of our centenary related

:22:07.:22:10.

programme. The exhibition continues until next May. With the last of the

:22:11.:22:17.

First World War survivors now gone the curators here say it is more

:22:18.:22:23.

important than ever that thdse stories continue to be told,

:22:24.:22:27.

particularly for the younger generations. This bed was found in a

:22:28.:22:34.

car park four years ago and it was thought to be an ornate but not

:22:35.:22:41.

especially important Victorhan bed. It turns out it dates back to Tudor

:22:42.:22:46.

times and might be worth millions. It could well be the bed in which

:22:47.:22:55.

Henry VIII was conceived. Otr reporter takes up the story. This is

:22:56.:23:04.

not just any old bed. I think it is without parallel. People have said

:23:05.:23:10.

the roots of the English confirmation started with the

:23:11.:23:15.

carving of this bed. `` Reformation. It was carved as the marriage bed

:23:16.:23:22.

for the first Tudor monarch. It could even be the bed in whhch Henry

:23:23.:23:30.

VIII was conceived. It has suffered shrinkage. The most important thing

:23:31.:23:37.

is to get, in ultramarine p`int have been the original. It was

:23:38.:23:45.

cleared out from here during the forbid. For years, hotel gudsts had

:23:46.:23:50.

slept then it is unaware of its history. A previous owner h`d a

:23:51.:23:56.

daughter who was struggling to get pregnant. She spent one night in

:23:57.:24:01.

this bed, immediately fell pregnant, and went on to have six children. It

:24:02.:24:09.

has gone on some journey. It was taken on tour at the end of the 16th

:24:10.:24:16.

century. It visited this castle In the chapel here we have pieces of

:24:17.:24:21.

furniture that have survived hundreds of years from that period.

:24:22.:24:26.

There is no reason it could not survive. Now it is on displ`y in

:24:27.:24:32.

County Durham. I think it is priceless. I do not know wh`t its

:24:33.:24:38.

monetary value is. Someone suggested ?20 million. Forget, he says, about

:24:39.:24:47.

the price tag. It is an irreplaceable piece of Tudor

:24:48.:24:54.

history. A remarkable piece of history. Found in the Chestdr car

:24:55.:24:59.

park, you would have thought? Now let's get the weather forec`st. We

:25:00.:25:04.

were talking about their qu`lity earlier, hopefully that will

:25:05.:25:09.

improve. Indeed. Good evening to you. We have had nothing in the way

:25:10.:25:15.

of sunshine and moderate to high levels of their pollution. `` air

:25:16.:25:21.

illusion. Heading through tonight conditions will get better. ``

:25:22.:25:30.

pollution. Here comes the r`in. Through the day to day cloud cover

:25:31.:25:36.

has largely stuck around, one or two breaks now and again. The r`in will

:25:37.:25:42.

do us a favour as we go through the night, it will dampen things down.

:25:43.:25:48.

The their quality `` air qu`lity should improve. It will takd a

:25:49.:26:00.

little more time before this rain moves across the region and then

:26:01.:26:04.

there will be some heavy bursts from time to time. In terms of

:26:05.:26:12.

visibility, there will be a lot of cloud cover and pollution in the

:26:13.:26:18.

atmosphere. Because it is so damp and mild, mist to be a problem first

:26:19.:26:24.

thing tomorrow. Overnight temperatures will not cause any

:26:25.:26:31.

issues, seven or nine degreds. Tomorrow at Aintree it is l`dies

:26:32.:26:36.

Day. Saturday looks like having some rain at times. First thing tomorrow

:26:37.:26:42.

morning the remnants of this weather are still around. As we go through

:26:43.:26:48.

the day cloud cover welfare in and break as the rain travels north You

:26:49.:26:54.

will be some spells of sunshine now and again. The sunshine could spark

:26:55.:27:02.

off one or two showers. Most places will be dry. It is not cold. 14

:27:03.:27:11.

Celsius. Our viewers are eagle eyed. We did not spot this but lots of you

:27:12.:27:19.

have. At Aintree, check out that Barnett! He is out doing thd on the

:27:20.:27:35.

fascinator! `` outdoing me. And we have already been cold on it, that

:27:36.:27:42.

is brilliant. Thank you for watching. Good night. Thank you for
