President Putin calls for the West to condemn it. Now it is | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to a special addition of the programme. I live in Liverpool on | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
the day that the city came to a standstill to honour those who died | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
at Hillsborough, 25 years ago today. We are live outside Anfield where | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
tens of thousands gather this afternoon to remember. We will | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
always strive to honour you, the families and the memory of the 96 | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
people we lost. We will talk to those at the centre of today's | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
commemorations. Nigel Evans returns to his | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
constituency office saying he will fight is to keep his seat. And now | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
the life and times of Mitchell and Kenyon are played out on a | :01:05. | :01:18. | |
Manchester stage. The tributes at the Hillsborough more Morrill | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
outside Anfield are pretty much ever present but today of all days they | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
are more plentiful than the green for quite some time. `` than they | :01:28. | :01:39. | |
have been. At six minutes past three this afternoon, exactly 25 years to | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the minute since the game and Hillsborough was stopped, the city | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
of Liverpool came to a standstill. In the city centre people stood in | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
sombre reflection, their heads bowed reflecting on people from their city | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
who lost their lives a quarter of a century ago. The bells from both | :02:01. | :02:29. | |
liver pool 's Cathedral appealed in unison. `` Liverpool's cathedrals | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
both peeled in unison. Today was all about commemorating the lives that | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
were lost. We will be talking to It is hard, it really has. We were | :02:38. | :04:32. | |
lucky. I was there in a makeshift mortuary with about 35 deceased | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
people. This is one of the first times I have ever spoken about it. | :04:38. | :05:03. | |
Tony Bland, Paul David Brady the list of names was read out and was a | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
sense of satisfaction at what has been done. We refused to lie down | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
and we refused to go away. We made it happen. 25 years on, a day to | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
remember what happened at six minutes past three. | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
One of the key people involved this afternoon was this minister. Did it | :05:37. | :05:52. | |
feel different 25 years on? You have been involved in ten of these. Was | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
it different from years before? It is difficult to say. It is a very | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
emotional day every year but that I came away from the servers I wonder | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
if there was a sense of something is being more positive. I think there | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
was more of an energy to the event and because of some of the guests | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
that were there, the theme that is coming out is the city coming | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
together and I think that is what family needs to keep them going from | :06:21. | :06:33. | |
this day through to the next year. The inquests are underway and that | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
limits what we are able to say that all the scarves behind this come | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
from clubs the length and breadth of the country. It was powerful to see | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
the 96 in the middle of this video made up of all the different scarves | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
from all the different clubs around. It is bound to reverberate across | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
the nation and even farther afield because it has been such an emotive | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
issue for so many years and 425 years later for its still to be | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
around is amazing. Thank you, we are very grateful to you. It has been a | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
long journey to 25 years and families, as we know, have been | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
through some dark times. I must not number paying that their | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
determination to find out what happened that afternoon at | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Hillsborough has been undiminished. The fight has been going on for a | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
quarter of a century but a lot has changed in the last few years. Let | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
us look at the long and emotional journey to this emotional day. | :07:44. | :08:06. | |
Everyone is devastated, they all have somebody. The Director of | :08:07. | :08:20. | |
Public Prosecutions had decided not to bring any criminal charges | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
against the police or or officials in connection to the Hillsborough | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
football disaster. We are just broken and we do not know what to | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
do. Without Paul, our lives are nothing. 20 years ago, . Our job has | :08:39. | :09:41. | |
simply been to oversee the maximum possible disclosure of all the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
documents and to write a report that adds to public understanding. The | :09:47. | :10:30. | |
long road to the 25th anniversary in those words you can see in the shot | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
no have given great solace to the Hillsborough families on the journey | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
to this point. You also saw Andy Burnham who spoke here are the 20th | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
anniversary commemorations five years ago. The reception he got that | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
day was a key point in the way that things have developed in the | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Hillsborough story in the last few years and he got a very different | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
reception today. I put this point to him on a spokesman earlier along | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
with the chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Margaret | :11:05. | :11:26. | |
Aspinall. I agreed and said that Andy could do it. Something had to | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
give an Iona said that if I was not the minister I would have been one | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
of those shouting at the minister. `` I always said. How did it feel to | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
have tens of thousands of people screaming at you? I am never torn in | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
so I'm well used to those feelings but I understood what they were | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
feeling and I knew they were not necessarily shouting at me | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
personally but more that the government, the system, the way they | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
had been let down. That night I went to speak to the families at the town | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Hall and in private I resolved that was it, we were going to change | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
things. They, in the end, made me find the political courage to do | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
something that the spy wanted to be here to say thank you everybody | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
today. Margaret, how different was today to the 24 anniversaries that | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
have preceded it? Because we are two weeks into the new inquests, it has | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
been very emotional to the families listening to the portraits of their | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
individual love ones. I'm only finding out about that a lot on snow | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
`` about their loved ones now and I did not know about that individual | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
loss. It is absolutely heartbreaking and I was crying in court every day. | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
I thought I had no more tears left but when you listen to that you do | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
and they think the fans and the survivors, who we have to remember, | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
they knew what the families were going through and they know what | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
we're going through and I think that made it more emotional today. It was | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
a wise decision to have those portraits at the start of the new | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
inquests cos we are all guilty of having used the phrase the 96 as if | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
they were all the same but now we see they are different people with | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
different hopes and dreams and that never came out at the brutal inquest | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
at the beginning and has just pushed away and no one can see who the 96 | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
where and what they meant to their mums and dads and to the families | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
and that is an incredible thing but long, long overdue. Margaret has | :13:59. | :14:08. | |
only just left. She has been signing autographs and talking to many of | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
the people here to support her and the other families. The Hillsborough | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
Family Support Group have given 96 red roses by the Hillsborough | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
memorial. Our people, not in the city, who feel the Hillsborough | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
story has gone on and there is a bit of reading with that. You cannot | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
forget the 96 people went to support their team on a sunny day in | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Sheffield and lost their lives 25 years ago today and when you hear | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
the talk and the reflections on it it brings shivers to your spine and | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
makes the hair on the back of your neck than the name. Anyone with a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
family cannot imagine the last 25 years have been like the families. | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
The journey is ongoing and we are starting to move through what will | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
be a 12 month process for the jury to find out what will happen `` what | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
happened that day. Andy Gill as this report. Through the steel and glass | :15:16. | :15:31. | |
canyons of a 21st`century business Park come people affected by a | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
20th`century tragedy. Those who were young in 1989 are now middle`aged. | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Those who were middle`aged are now elderly. Some who would have been | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
here are now dead. At the back of their minds at the inquest is | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
today's anniversary. It is a memory and not a number. It is as fresh as | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
it ever was. The fact that it is the 25th anniversary doesn't make much | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
of a difference. Most of the inquest so far has been taken up by tributes | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
to the dead from their relatives. Raw days for many. The court here in | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
Warrington still has to hear tributes to people killed in the | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
disaster. It is emotional and training but absolutely necessary, a | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
chance to show that those who were remembered today at Anfield were | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
real men, women and children and not just names on the memorial or faces | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
in the media. It finally puts names and faces to the family. The coroner | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
has outlined to the jury topics they might like to think about. Among | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
them, stadium layout, crowd control, the emergency response and behaviour | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
of fans, though not of the 96. The inquests are due to resume next | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
week. We will report the ongoing developments at the inquest. Among | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
the floral tributes outside the Hillsborough Memorial is one from | :17:12. | :17:21. | |
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. Hillsborough is their home ground. | :17:22. | :17:40. | |
Now for the rest of the news. A ?30,000 reward is being offered by | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
police trying to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
Blackpool teenager Paige Chivers. Paige went missing in 2007 and | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
detectives are convinced she's been murdered. Cumbria police say that a | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
body found in Windermere this morning is the body of 20`year`old | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
student Matthew Jordan. His death is not being treated as suspicious. | :18:00. | :18:11. | |
Only around 20% of beaches in the North West reached the recommended | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
levels for water`quality according to a new report. Samples were taken | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
by the Marine Conservation Society every week last summer checking for | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
bacteria like E`coli. Scientists say the results are down to wet weather | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
in our region affecting pollution compared to elsewhere in England. | :18:24. | :18:25. | |
There was disruption to flights in and out of Manchester Airport this | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
morning after an incoming Thomson air ways flight spotted smoke coming | :18:29. | :18:43. | |
from it. Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans returned to work in his | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
constituency today for the first time since being cleared of sex | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
charges. He said he was keen to get back to serving the Ribble Valley | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
and bore no ill will towards the fellow MP who initially reported | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
allegations made against him. Our chief reporter Dave Guest has spent | :18:57. | :19:10. | |
the morning with him. Back at work and tackling a backlog of mail and | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
for all the trauma of the past few months, Nigel Evans says he bears no | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
ill feeling towards Sarah Wollaston, the MP who first passed on | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
complaints that had been made against him. She was right to take | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
it to the Speaker. If you are given information, you have to take it | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
somewhere. So there is no ill feeling between you and her? No and | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
I hope when I get back to Westminster I hope we can have a cup | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
of tea. In 22 years of Parliament have you ever done anything that | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
could be considered to be abusing your position authority over any | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
junior member of staff? Absolutely not and I have had many of them | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
offering the messages of support. Nigel Evans spent the day being | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
interviewed by the local press and passing the time of day with local | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
people. There was time to reflect on some of the events. You have been | :20:14. | :20:41. | |
cleared by the jury back do you accept that looking back with | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
hindsight, some of the decisions you made and situations that you put | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
yourself in, were ill advised giving your position as a MP and Deputy | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Speaker of the Commons? That is a judgement that other people make. If | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
I could press the rewind button, yes, I would. Maybe it wasn't wise | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
to have a relationship with a 21`year`old man. He wasn't working | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
in Westminster when I had the relationship with him. These | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
relationships, people meet people in all sorts of circumstances. Much was | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
made at the trial of your drinking. You were described as our | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
functioning alcoholic. I took great offence to that. My dad was an | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
alcoholic. I am a social drinker. Are you concerned that the | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
revelations may have harmed your credibility with this voters of the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
Ribble Valley? Not from what I am hearing on the streets. Some have | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
congratulated me and said I shouldn't have gone through this. | :21:27. | :21:34. | |
The Lancashire film`making Pioneers Mitchell and Kenyon change cinematic | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
history by filming everyday life in the North West. Now they and their | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
famous films which are rediscovered in the 1990s are being turned in to | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
a stage play in Lancaster. The audience are stars of the show. | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
Their black`and`white films of everyday turn`of`the`century folk | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
captivated the world and now the life and times of Blackburn | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
film`makers Mitchell and Kenyon are being brought to the stage. Here is | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
the church and here is this people, local films for local people. The | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
play takes on the discovery of the film is sealed in metal churns in | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
the black pool `` Blackpool shop in 1994. The cast are great but the | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
films, projected onto the set are the true stars. We hope they have | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
the excitement and while actor that they might have hired a firm | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Mitchell and Kenyon's audience 100 years ago. How on earth is that | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
happening? We do not know that much about them so the play has a | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
theatrical version of these characters. Mitchell and Kenyon were | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
not sure men, they were entrepreneurs, technicians who left | :23:04. | :23:04. | |
the vivid legacy. `` would not showed ordinary life then that know | :23:05. | :23:28. | |
they are extraordinary. It is tricky because you can put on a film of | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
bears and get completely mesmerised and the whole room stops and | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
everybody is agog. The production starts this weekend and then runs | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
till the 10th of May before moving to the Oldham Coliseum. | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
As we forecast, a beautiful day today with wall`to`wall | :23:54. | :25:24. | |
will see more cloud than anywhere else. Just over my head you can see | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
rain move into Northern Ireland and that tries to get towards us as the | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
day goes on but for most of us it will be dry in fine for nearly all | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
the day. The further south you are the more you will hang on the | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
sunshine. For most of us it will not be a bad day and a dry day with | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
temperatures 15 degrees of 16 degrees all over again. Tomorrow | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
there will be rain for your time on Thursday but the change in wind | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
direction makes a difference and you'll start to see this picture | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
through Thursday and Friday. For the long`range forecast, there will be | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
spells of sunshine on Saturday but I would not like to tell you exactly | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
what will happen through the bank holiday weekend will stop your love | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
to listen to us and watchers as that forecast gradually gets firmed up. | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
It has been an emotional day in Liverpool today as the city stopped | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
to remember the 96 members of the Hillsborough disaster 25 years on. | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
For many people, football fans are members of the public, Hillsborough | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
was one of those days like your parents grandparents said where they | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
were when John F. Kennedy was killed, lots of people remember | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
where they wear and what they were doing when Hillsborough happened. In | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
the city many people knew people who were there and you were related to | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
those who died. It has been a long road to them and that road is still | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
far from a conclusion. The inquest are now underway but for this 25th | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
anniversary commemoration today, there was a sense of positivity as | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
we heard earlier from the Reverend who was in charge of the service. | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
There is a life of a lovable anthem you'll never walk alone which says | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
at the end of the storm there is a golden sky there is a golden sky | :27:36. | :27:43. | |
above Anfield tonight. From all this watching, goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:48. |
