Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson ` and Annabel Tiffin.

Working as one of the region's top schools left one man with a

potentially deadly condition. Police release drink drive footage `

the women who're breaking down I'm on osprey watching South Cumbria

in the hope that the chicks are about to be born.

A man from Liverpool who became ill working at one of the country's top

public schools says the onus will kill him. Terry developed the

illness by working as a stonemason in Lancashire. He has been talking

exclusively to ask. The school has been fined ?100,000 for failing to

protect the health and safety of employees.

Stonyhurst College, founded by Catholic priests, Jesuits and famous

`` famously prided on its high moral standards. Terry felt it let him

down badly. The college didn't do enough to protect him from the

dangerous dust that is released when you cut into sandstone. He says that

the illness he contracted by working here will kill him.

The sign that greets you as you enter the college was made by Terry.

For nearly 12 years, he maintained the school's historic buildings. In

2011, he was diagnosed with a lung disease. It was contracted through

his work here. Four months later, the college made redundant. I do

feel let down, but it's not the establishment it's the people who

work for it. I don't want to blame the Stonyhurst College as it is a

wonderful place. But the ethos that they teach is fine but is not

carried out by the hierarchy. Terry had these photographs taken of

himself at work. He wasn't `` he wasn't given adequate detection

against the dangers of working with dust.

The men working in the workshop only had one doorway, no window. There

was no means of extracting the dust. When both men were working in the

workshop, a Falk was created though that they could not each other

across the workshop. It was really bad.

Terry is 54, out of work and with the terrible illness.

It will kill me. I am more prone to lung cancer, tuberculosis, and

ammonia and kidney failure. Also, arthritis and connective tissue

damage. There was a comments by one of the consultants who said, the

only way you can be curate is with a heart and lung transplant. It can't

be curate. It can only get worse. Terry won a case of unfair dismissal

against the school last year. But he faces an uncertain future.

Stonyhurst College says it except the court ruling and indicates its

remorse in open court. Terry finds and `` remorse for the position

Terry finds himself in. A 65`year`old competitor has been

killed today at the Isle of Man TT races. He died during the race on

the third lap. He was an experienced and regular rider the first competed

in 1992. He was the first person to be killed at this year's events.

Police say an off duty doctor could hold vital information about a boxer

who was struck by a car. Vinnie Holligan was struck

on Northern Perimeter Road The driver later gave himself up and

is being questioned on suspicion of The doctor,

who'd been caring for the 19 year old, left the scene before officers

had a chance to speak to him. Police have released CCTV pictures

an imitation firearm and made It happened on the 21st of May

on Dunham Road in Altrincham. The Labour MP for Bootle,

Joe Benton, could lose his seat ` after party members voted to open

up the selection process. They want to be able to choose

a new candidate to fight Mr Benton ` who's 80 `

was first elected in 1990 and wants The Labour Party will meet

to discuss a way forward. 23 year old Daniel Birch from Wigan

police. My blood went cold. I knew then. This happens on mother's day.

That adds a whole new elements to it. She is very determined to get

the message out there. Its life changing for everyone. You can't

shrug it off. Last summer's crackdown saw

an estimated 252 drink drive related arrests across Greater

Manchester with 149 in Lancashire, Merseyside Police were unable

to give us any figures. It's simple to use. You get a swap,

put it in your mouth... Drug driving is also being

highlighted with Officers using this new hi tech testing equipment

for the first time. Helen Birch now spends much of her

time raising awareness of the Every time I see the car I die if a

bit inside. It kills me. But my hope is that one parent would look at

that car and imagine that it was their child. Even though he was 23,

he was still my baby. The structural engineer responsible for designing

parts of the Hillsborough stadium thought it would be ridiculous to

restrict standing access to the stadium.

Lawyers have been reading the evidence and expert gave to the Lord

Justice. We have been at court in Warrington today.

Doctor eastward has been stadium. He also worked with the

committee that overgrown `` oversaw the ground's safety. He has been

giving evidence to the Lord Justice Taylor enquiry. He was asked what

his opinion was of inserting fences on the Western Terrace to create

smaller pens. He said that was fine as long as there was it ``

sufficient control to monitor how many fans were getting in. He was

asked 2014 is the centenary of the

outbreak of the First World War. We are looking at life on the home

front. Here, `` tonight we are in Cumbria. 100 years ago, they had

started to build another super weapon.

This is what is left of the forts built in 1911 to guard the

approaches to Barrow Inverness. It was the scene of one of the oddest

little German naval attacks of the First World War. A German U`boat

surfaced about a mile out there, and aims in the direction of two huge

buildings in lands. The shells missed their targets and the gunners

he drove off the radar is. But what was the boat aiming at? ``?

This is where a fitted sheet was filmed in the 20s. Shipbuilding had

started here before the war. `` this footage was filmed.

They build airships that would operate as long`range naval

reconnaissance vessel. The site is now buried under a housing estate.

It was 540 foot long and 150 feet wide. This shed could fit to

airships. There would have been a swarm of people, hundreds and

hundreds of people, building themselves. It was dark inside with

a chemical smell. Metal work going on, gasbag manufacture, all sorts of

canvas work. There would have been the views of petrol and fuel. Women

were working their act as well. That was quite skilled work for the day.

This man was nearly gassed on one airship test flight but went on to

become one of Britain's's greatest aeronautical engineers.

He really did learn his trade as an advanced engineer. That led to the

Wellington bomber, all sorts of incredible things that came from

this genius. The airships carried out valuable

work, but after the war of the military last interest in the

technology. Lack of investment led to the ships being closed in 1921.

Plans to turn them into film studios, a British Hollywood, came

to nothing. They were abolished in the late 1920s. The brief

spectacular age of the airship was over. The work carried out here has

a long and surprisingly busy. The design work on airships, the

experiments ` there was a tremendous legacy. It went into aeroplanes,

especially metal aeroplanes, and even submarines. The US Navy used a

lot of our design work even in their nuclear submarines in the 1950s. The

research and the knowledge was not wasted.

I really learned something. Fascinating stuff. And there is more

World War I tonight on BBC One. The programme is here on BBC One at

7:30pm. This forms part of the BBC's World War I At Home series.

Staff at a nature reserve in South Cumbria are on tenterhooks

in the hope of witnessing a little piece of ornithological history.

A pair of rare Ospreys have set up home at Foulshaw Moss nature reserve

` and for the first time in the reserve's history ` it looks like

The nest is under round the clock surveillance to capture any hatching

chicks on camera but also to protect the birds from egg thieves.

It's not easy to find or get to, but that's perhaps why the ospreys have

set up home here. She is sitting right in the middle

of the nest. This is what they're looking at, Osprey court on a camera

mounted near the nest. `` caught on camera.

The nest. If we do see chicks on camera, it

would be like Christmas and birthday all, once.

There is no guarantee but the experts say the female has been on

the nest for more than 30 days. Incubation for an Osprey is between

35 and 40 days. Fingers crossed that the next few days could bring some

good news. It would be very unusual for a bird

to sit on a nest for 20 days, getting onto 30 days, without there

being X underneath. I think we are very hopeful.

Ospreys are rare enough to be on the list for conservation concern. At

one time they were extinct in the UK. In 2001, a pair bred

successfully in Cumbria. Now it looks like the birds are spreading

into new areas. I think there are into new areas. I think there are

only two pairs income rear. It's fantastic to see.

It's so hard to describe. It's a fabulous feeling. Just seeing them

here is indescribable. They are such a lovely bird.

The area is under surveillance to protect eggs from thieves and

predators. There could be a raffle of tiny feathers in a few days.

Now to sport and Richard , Andrew Flintoff has been showing

he's still got it as he prepares to make his comeback for Lancashire?

Yes he turned out for one of his old club sides St Annes.

And considering he last played in anger almost five years ago,

And when you see this you'll know what I mean.

This was one of three wickets he took.

Slowed down you can see what a brilliant catch it was.

This is what it meant to the lifelong Liverpool fan to

And it left Rickie Lambert almost lost for words.

As a youngster Rickie thought his chance to turn out in Liverpool

I've been trying to let it sink in and it hasn't. I am finding it hard

to let it sink in. I can't believe it.

As a youngster Rickie thought his chance to turn out in Liverpool

He was released by the club as a 15 year old.

But working his way back via the likes of Macclesfield,

I know what is important and I know I've got to hit the ground running.

That's what we intend to do. It means everything to me, but I do

believe I can help push the score for it.

A goal every other game for Southampton has pushed him

onto the international stage and one of Liverpool's greatest

ever goalscorers says Lambert is a smart signing.

He's probably a little different to what we have already. He is a

Liverpool lad. Straightaway you are going to get that extra from him. He

will give his all. For ?5 million, I think it is a fantastic bit of

business. And as one of their own, Rickie

Lambert will do everything he can to In 100 years, very few women have

taken part in the TT races. It is often described as the

ultimate challenge between man and machine. But it is not just men who

are attracted to the danger, the thrill of the TT course.

The first ever female competitor was in the 1970s.

Thankfully, times have changed and women are welcome. Only few dare to

take part. This year, Maria is the only female solo rider.

We have had a love hate relationship because I have broken some bones.

But I love racing. It is one of the best challenges. It gives you one of

the best feelings in the world. It gives you the worst nerves in the

world. The sidecars attract only a few

more. The mechanics point to me and are

very surprised. This is why she is doing it. She

says once she is on the start line, everyone is equal. Everyone treats

me like them. You leave the talking behind.

19`year`old Hayley is the youngest ever female to take part.

IMS am care assistant at all of my clients think I'm crazy. It is so

many emotions mixed into one. I am excited, scared and nervous. I trust

my driver 1,000,000%. No woman has ever won the TT but a

handful of women will be trying this year.

Now is it case of once bitten twice shy for Manchester City?

You may recall the Blues star midfielder Yaya Toure was

so upset after the club apparently forget to get him a birthday cake

that his agent suggested a transfer away from the Etihad.

Well today it's Sergio Aguero's birthday.

Join us in wishing him a very happy 26th today.

They always say, never work with children or animals.

Pony`trekking firms in the Lake District are worried that

proposed "speed restrictions" on horses ` using off`road routes `

Some say the National Park Authority wants to limit horses to no more

than a trot ` to protect walkers and cyclists.

We have been alarmed to find out more. Here at the Manchester Donkey

Sanctuary, they take in donkeys for whatever reason. They set them to

work, doing assisted therapy. It involves bringing in children who

may be disabled and introducing them to life on the back of a donkey.

This is Lucy. She has been coming for about a year. This is her

mother. She really enjoys coming. It is great for her physical

developments. She's not scared? No, she is really confidence. Thank you.

They couldn't do what they do here without the help of volunteers.

Volunteers like Bob. Why did you volunteer to get involved in this?

I've been doing this for about five years. Initially it was for the love

of animals. It's very fulfilling? It's very fulfilling? The volunteers

today received an accolade from the Queen. Debbie is from the donkey

sanctuary. What does this award mean to you? We are thrilled. If it

wasn't for the volunteers, we couldn't do what we do. They look

after the donkeys, help with the rights, they do absolutely

everything. Part of the awards is that you get to go to the palace for

a garden party. Though the donkeys becoming? Sadly, no. I hope they

enjoy it. No donkeys at `` on the lawn at

Buckingham Palace, but congratulations to everyone here.

It is the beginning of summer, though you wouldn't believe it if

you stepped outside this afternoon. Rain or showers, and a hint of

sunshine. Thursday is looking like the best day. Those showers

continued to push across the North West, with heavy bursts causing

problems on the road. Surface water and poor visibility. There is a lot

of cloud and patchy rain and drizzle. That cloud is low enough to

cause some problems with visibility tomorrow morning. The aware that

there could be so mist particularly across the high roads. Temperatures

around 13 or 14. Tomorrow morning. Start on a cloudy notes, and also a

damp one. Just a light breeze. Look at this, a hint of sunshine coming

in from the Irish Sea. Those skies breaking up through the afternoon,

allowing some sunny spells. The best of the sunshine probably across

Cumbria and Lancashire. It could spark off one to heavy showers

towards Cheshire and the Greater Manchester area. Temperature is up

to 15 or 16. A lot slower than the last few days. Cloudy on Wednesday

with a few showers. On Thursday, some sunny spells. Returning to

cloudy weather and rain on Friday. Let's find out why Dave should not

work with animals! Are you ready? Al, that was my finger! Children and

animals, what could go wrong? I think he's lost the end of his

finger! What was he trying to do? Poor Dave! Go and get a tetanus

shot. Thank you, good night.
