Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin.

:00:09.:00:11.

The region's imams step up the campaign to dissuade Muslim

:00:12.:00:14.

The man leading the police campaign warns young

:00:15.:00:17.

Hundreds march on Downing Street to demand recognition for a Wirral

:00:18.:00:23.

the wait for cycling fans is nearly over. Streets have taken up a bit of

:00:24.:00:39.

a French flavour as they begin to welcome the biggest cycling event in

:00:40.:00:42.

the world. And we are in Liverpool for

:00:43.:00:51.

something very special in tribute to the 96.

:00:52.:00:58.

The campaign to dissuade thd region's young Muslims from going to

:00:59.:01:03.

fight in Syria and Iraq stepped up a notch today. Local imams usdd Friday

:01:04.:01:11.

prayers to read an open letter urging them not to go.

:01:12.:01:14.

They fear some may have been brainwashed by radicals and are

:01:15.:01:17.

their duty. The security services believe up to 500 Britons m`y have

:01:18.:01:20.

gone to Syria. Earlier this year, a young man from Manchester w`s killed

:01:21.:01:23.

there and another was reported missing. Our Chief Reporter, Dave

:01:24.:01:26.

Is it because generally the majority in the North West to not believe in

:01:27.:02:16.

it? 100% people have signed it. The only thing is the mechanism. The

:02:17.:02:22.

problem is the bureaucracy `nd the way that the system runs. R`ther

:02:23.:02:27.

than the lack of will. It is estimated up to 500 Britons could

:02:28.:02:30.

have made their way to Syri` to fate. Earlier this year one man lost

:02:31.:02:36.

his life after travelling from Manchester to fight there. One of

:02:37.:02:43.

his friends has not been he`rd of since he went out last autuln.

:02:44.:02:47.

Today's letter was a direct appeal to young British Muslims not to

:02:48.:02:53.

follow in their footsteps. This leaflet explains people how they can

:02:54.:02:57.

support their Muslim brothers and sisters in Syria without getting

:02:58.:02:59.

involved in violence and indeed going over there. A lot of xoung

:03:00.:03:05.

people had been duped into this idea that they have an obligation to go

:03:06.:03:09.

and fight. I think that thex are just misled, these people. @ny who

:03:10.:03:16.

do return to the UK are likdly to be intercepted by the police under a

:03:17.:03:20.

rival as they would be conshdered a possible security threat ye`r. The

:03:21.:03:27.

Chief Constable of Greater Manchester has warned that ht is not

:03:28.:03:31.

just young men who are being encouraged to go to Syria and Iraq,

:03:32.:03:34.

he says that young women ard being urged to travel to conflict areas to

:03:35.:03:38.

offer themselves as so`calldd jihad grades. `` brides.

:03:39.:03:50.

We think the Muslim community in general has given a very cldar

:03:51.:03:53.

message. And a very strong teaching about the Qur?an is really

:03:54.:04:01.

seriously concerned about the impact on young people.

:04:02.:04:03.

country where there is a very large Muslim community, are you

:04:04.:04:08.

disappointed that more commtnity leaders haven?t come forward?

:04:09.:04:10.

There?s more than 100 imams nationally who have come out and

:04:11.:04:12.

given this message. I don?t think it?s just about numbers. Thd key

:04:13.:04:15.

You?re concerned, too, about young women

:04:16.:04:19.

being encouraged to go out to places like Syria. Yes, part of thd

:04:20.:04:23.

narrative on the internet and social media is also directed towards

:04:24.:04:31.

females with the perverted hdea of them going out there and becoming

:04:32.:04:34.

the killers, one of the soldiers, one of the jihadists out thdre. It?s

:04:35.:04:46.

clearly an incredibly dangerous thing to do and it is that lessage

:04:47.:04:49.

that you may think you?re a British Muslim, but going into such a

:04:50.:04:52.

chaotic, violent scenario as we ve got now in Syria and Iraq, xou

:04:53.:04:55.

yourself will be at great pdrsonal risk. You may end up being

:04:56.:05:00.

kidnapped, or whatever, and it?s incredibly dangerous.

:05:01.:05:01.

evidence that young women from this country have answered this call

:05:02.:05:05.

Yes, we believe there is, there are cases that we?re looking at. Any

:05:06.:05:10.

idea of numbers? No, it?s vdry hard to estimate numbers, and thhs is

:05:11.:05:14.

about intelligence, it?s about information, it?s about young people

:05:15.:05:16.

who?ve disappeared. We are `ware of a number of famines who are very

:05:17.:05:19.

concerned about their young people who?s gone missing, who?ve travelled

:05:20.:05:21.

to Turkey or whatever. And clearly we?re working very hard with the

:05:22.:05:24.

security sources and other people to try to establish where they are

:05:25.:05:40.

Hundreds of paratroopers have marched on Downing Street to demand

:05:41.:05:43.

a soldier from Merseyside bd given a medal for gallantry 32 years after

:05:44.:05:46.

his death. Corporal Stewart McLaughlin from Wallasey didd in a

:05:47.:05:51.

Defence say the rules mean they can't give retrospective aw`rds

:05:52.:05:53.

Here's our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill.

:05:54.:06:05.

His family say that service personnel travelled from already

:06:06.:06:12.

country. He was killed in Jtne, 1982. He had become a father that

:06:13.:06:19.

February. It was one of the conflict's most fiercely fotght

:06:20.:06:25.

battles. Corporal MacLachlan held several challenges before bding

:06:26.:06:30.

killed. But his bravery was never officially recognised. If you cannot

:06:31.:06:39.

honour the remarkably brave, he was an exception to the rule, then why

:06:40.:06:47.

are we sending our people to war? His commander says that he wrote a

:06:48.:06:54.

citation for him, but that was lost. It was also claimed that his unit

:06:55.:06:57.

mutilated the bodies of Argdntinian soldiers but investigators found no

:06:58.:07:07.

proof. Last summer, after discussions with his family, plaque

:07:08.:07:13.

was erected in Corporal McLaughlin's honour. But his family

:07:14.:07:16.

say that this is not enough and that they want official recognithon of

:07:17.:07:20.

his bravery from the military. The Ministry of defence says th`t..

:07:21.:07:31.

Do not let protocol or worrhes about President stop you from doing the

:07:32.:07:39.

right thing. An online petition calling for a medal has nearly 000

:07:40.:07:51.

signatures. And musician has admitted indecently assaulthng a

:07:52.:07:55.

pupil at Cheatham School of music. Nicholas Smith carried out the

:07:56.:08:07.

assaults at the school in the 1 80s. A community group has failed in its

:08:08.:08:14.

bid to purchase a Cumbrian Lountain. They were raising money to buy it

:08:15.:08:18.

after it was picked up for sale in order to pay a tax bill. An offer

:08:19.:08:22.

for more than the gate pricd has been accepted from an as yet unnamed

:08:23.:08:34.

bidder. The boxer Amir Khan has been arrested in connection with an

:08:35.:08:37.

alleged assault. Two men were allegedly attacked in Bolton. Their

:08:38.:08:42.

injuries were not thought to be serious. Amir Khan was questioned by

:08:43.:08:46.

police today and has now bedn released on bail. Tributes have been

:08:47.:08:57.

paid to Lisa Jones after an explosion was used to `` of

:08:58.:09:08.

flammable material culture. Students at North West univdrsities

:09:09.:09:11.

have warned that benefit ch`nges may deter others from higher edtcation.

:09:12.:09:22.

The government is proposing to reform the Disabled Students

:09:23.:09:25.

Allowance. We will hear from the Universities

:09:26.:09:29.

Minister. He will be telling us why he thinks the changes are ndcessary

:09:30.:09:30.

on this weekend's Sunday politics. Liverpool screen writer

:09:31.:09:57.

Jimmy McGovern has made his name with hard`hitting dramas.

:09:58.:09:59.

And the latest will be shown this weekend.

:10:00.:10:02.

It's called Common and it's been inspired by a 300`year`old law.

:10:03.:10:05.

Perhaps not the most obvious source of creative inspiration, but Jimmy

:10:06.:10:07.

believes the Law of Common Enterprise leads to injustices.

:10:08.:10:10.

He came in to tell us more `bout it with the lawyer Simon Natas.

:10:11.:10:13.

And we began by asking Simon to explain exactly what the law says.

:10:14.:10:16.

It allows a number of peopld to be jointly charged with murder, for

:10:17.:10:20.

example. They make all play different roles. The prosecttion

:10:21.:10:22.

might suggest that they plax different roles, but ultimately they

:10:23.:10:27.

are all guilty of the same offence. How often does that come into play?

:10:28.:10:34.

It is very common, particul`rly in homicide cases. Jenny, can xou

:10:35.:10:39.

illustrate the drama that you have created? One young man waits

:10:40.:10:48.

outside, there is a fate in the pizza parlour, an innocent bystander

:10:49.:10:55.

is stabbed to death and all four boys are charged with murder, even

:10:56.:10:59.

the boy who did nothing. Yot don't have to prove you wrote doing

:11:00.:11:04.

anything. If you were there, you will get done for murder. Is there a

:11:05.:11:11.

danger, however, that if thhs law is changed then gangs can see, I was

:11:12.:11:15.

just on the periphery of it and the person who struck the full goes down

:11:16.:11:19.

and the rest of them do not. Is a question of what people are

:11:20.:11:23.

prosecuted for and what thex are sentenced for. You're not s`ying

:11:24.:11:28.

that they should be prosecuted, just not sentence for murder? Thdre is no

:11:29.:11:36.

injustice of somebody has a public order offence, but the jump from

:11:37.:11:40.

that to murder is an enormots one. It is a question of making sure that

:11:41.:11:44.

the punishment fits the crile and that has got out of kilter. Get your

:11:45.:11:54.

hands off my door! The factors, there is a political imperative

:11:55.:11:59.

here. Any reform of that makes it look like the politicians are

:12:00.:12:03.

getting soft. Now wants to be soft on murder, but you should bd soft on

:12:04.:12:07.

injustice either. The victil, if they have been murdered, has no

:12:08.:12:13.

second chance. We maintain that read the entire film, there is no greater

:12:14.:12:17.

injustice than having your life taken away from you. Murder is the

:12:18.:12:26.

greatest injustice. However, a great injustice should not allow other

:12:27.:12:30.

injustices to be committed `s well. I'm sure it will get people talking.

:12:31.:12:33.

Thank you. Interesting, isn't it? Lovely man,

:12:34.:12:36.

wasn't he? Both lovely. We bring you the ups ` and lore

:12:37.:12:40.

ups ` of this weekend's racd. And we take a tour

:12:41.:12:49.

around the colourful world It does finally because if

:12:50.:13:13.

Liverpool's Luis Suarez may be on his way.

:13:14.:13:24.

It does look like the endgale. Very good sources both year`round in

:13:25.:13:27.

Spain reporting that Luis Starez is on his way. It is not offichal but

:13:28.:13:37.

there is strong over the in the region of ?60 million plus the

:13:38.:13:40.

transfer of a striker to Liverpool. For local cycling enthusiasts

:13:41.:13:48.

it's the chance of a lifetile. Denby Sinclair and Ben Naylor

:13:49.:14:05.

race with a club in Glossop. We will see all of the raiddrs that

:14:06.:14:20.

we become too. It will be ftn. Good to get a bit of an awareness of

:14:21.:14:29.

cycling as well. Spectators will be waiting for Chris Froome, M`rk

:14:30.:14:32.

Cavendish gender rest. They will be coming right up to this sumlit,

:14:33.:14:36.

which is more than 500 metrds above sea level. It will be wrong and it

:14:37.:14:43.

will certainly be grilling. `` long. 40,000 spectators are expected

:14:44.:14:52.

to line as part of the routd and the world's press will be here `s well.

:14:53.:14:59.

It is the same passion and love around cycling, but I did not expect

:15:00.:15:06.

that much passion here. Such a large event. Only the World Cup and the

:15:07.:15:12.

Olympic games are bigger in the sports hierarchy. Lots of these

:15:13.:15:20.

places are dictate. Yes, people have come from many different cotntries,

:15:21.:15:24.

Alaska, Germany, Holland, and Australia. For those who know the

:15:25.:15:31.

cereal like the back of thehr hand, seeing Mark Cavendish and all the

:15:32.:15:39.

stars will be unforgettable. To see them cycling on the road th`t I do

:15:40.:15:45.

everyday, it will be really good. It should be fantastic.

:15:46.:15:50.

The Wimbledon journey is ovdr for North West mixed doubles pair

:15:51.:15:52.

Naomi Broady and Neal Skupski after they went out in

:15:53.:15:55.

Naomi from Stockport and her partner,

:15:56.:15:57.

who?s from Liverpool, went down in straight sets to the number 16 seeds

:15:58.:16:00.

There is some consolation ` they earned ?57,000 each,

:16:01.:16:04.

which Naomi says is equal to what she's earned in the last ten years.

:16:05.:16:21.

Andrew Flintoff will return to cricket tonight. Heavy rain has

:16:22.:16:27.

delayed the start of play and could cause a complete wash`out. Stay

:16:28.:16:32.

tuned to BBC local radio st`tion for news about any play. Back to the

:16:33.:16:39.

Tour de France. Some Isle of Man residents giving beer by Mark

:16:40.:16:42.

Cavendish the needle. These ladies have been busy netting little yellow

:16:43.:17:02.

jerseys for the finish line. Wonderful. I noticed that you did

:17:03.:17:05.

not get on your bike for th`t report earlier.

:17:06.:17:34.

Our reporter is that the city's Anglican Cathedral to tell ts about

:17:35.:17:35.

the Liverpool Biennial. whistler, next to, as you s`y,

:17:36.:18:04.

Michael Nyman composition. Let us get the daft bit out of the way

:18:05.:18:10.

Every other year we get to a moment in the programme where we

:18:11.:18:13.

tell you that Liverpool's Bhennial has arrived yet again.

:18:14.:18:28.

I said this sounds plausibld, so here I am. His work is

:18:29.:20:17.

Nyman. I do not have an I whll not have the rest of my life with the

:20:18.:20:21.

Steve McClaren moment. This is a very personal commission for you.

:20:22.:20:28.

Yes, this piece goes back to 19 8 five `` 1985, to the terrible

:20:29.:20:34.

disaster. They were commisshoned to do a piece on He's all. I w`s

:20:35.:20:46.

commissioned to do a statemdnt piece 40 modern. Whilst I was writing the

:20:47.:20:53.

piece Hazel happened. Then four years later, when I was rewriting

:20:54.:20:55.

one of the movements, Hillsborough happened. This piece is involved for

:20:56.:21:05.

me with Liverpool football. You had to do this, didn't you? Yes, it had

:21:06.:21:14.

to be done. Tell us about the movements. The first movement is a

:21:15.:21:26.

beautiful setting of the 96 names. The Royal Liverpool Philharlonic. I

:21:27.:21:33.

am missing the best bets. S`lly is a director. We are running out of

:21:34.:21:37.

time. It is a sell`out year, but people can hear this again hn the

:21:38.:21:41.

future. What do they need to do Lomax we will be broadcasting it in

:21:42.:21:50.

the Cathedral. We have run out of time. It is not going to rahn

:21:51.:21:53.

throughout the world this stmmer, so do not let this put you off.

:21:54.:22:01.

You are very brave first Dane with your guess is through that rain

:22:02.:22:07.

Time for the weather. Artwork inspired by curtains,

:22:08.:22:18.

address inspired by curtains. I am glad that I was kept in studio,

:22:19.:22:25.

because I can show you on the radar of what has been happening `cross

:22:26.:22:29.

the regions. Heavy rain swedping in from across the Irish Sea. Ht is not

:22:30.:22:33.

just been in Liverpool, it has been across Lancashire and Cumbrha has

:22:34.:22:37.

seen plenty of rain. The good news for the weekend is this, hopefully

:22:38.:22:42.

we will not see a lot of rahn, there will be a fair amount of sunshine,

:22:43.:22:46.

but also expect some isolatdd thundery showers. Some were rain to

:22:47.:22:51.

come tonight. We start off with some light, patchy rain, but if xou keep

:22:52.:22:56.

your eye on the picture you can see some rain flashes. Heavy rahn during

:22:57.:23:00.

the night, the winds will bdgin to ease. There will be a lot of cloud

:23:01.:23:05.

around, another mild, muggy night. Temperature still in double figures,

:23:06.:23:11.

possibly walls of 10 Celsius. A drab, damp start to your dax. We

:23:12.:23:15.

will hang onto clouds initi`lly but we hang onto the afternoon `nd it is

:23:16.:23:19.

an improving picture. It coles try and it should become brightdr. Some

:23:20.:23:23.

good spells of sunshine expdcted but also the chance of one two heavy

:23:24.:23:27.

showers and the winds becomd lighter. If you catch this tnchained

:23:28.:23:32.

then it should feel warm, underneath 17 or 18 Celsius. A rush of showers

:23:33.:23:38.

on Saturday, but in between some good spells of sunshine `` ` rash of

:23:39.:23:41.

showers. You will have to be very cldver to

:23:42.:23:45.

catch that unchained then. It will be warm in the sunshine

:23:46.:23:53.

Thank you for being with us later than normal. Hopefully back to
