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

:00:00.:00:12.

Forget jihad ` make a difference in your own community.

:00:13.:00:17.

Young Muslims in Lancashire are urged to turn their back

:00:18.:00:19.

But some have told us they're angry at what they say is the British

:00:20.:00:24.

A North West MP calls for German`style terracing at football.

:00:25.:00:37.

The pub selling booze not fit for human consumption.

:00:38.:00:39.

And how a woman from Rainhill became a German princess during the

:00:40.:00:44.

There are five stages, 150 acts and the crowds are already pouring into

:00:45.:01:09.

this music festival. Johnny One of Lancashire's Muslim leaders

:01:10.:01:20.

has condemned the beheading of the American journalist James Foley and

:01:21.:01:29.

urged young men to resist the call to arms in Syria and Iraq.

:01:30.:01:32.

Instead, he said, they should concentrate on making their mark as

:01:33.:01:34.

doctors or leaders in British businesses.

:01:35.:01:37.

Shahed Tameez was speaking in Blackburn this afternoon.

:01:38.:01:38.

But, as Stuart Flinders reports, many young Muslims are angry about

:01:39.:01:41.

what they see as our own Answered every Friday by thousands

:01:42.:01:43.

of Muslims across the North West. But there's a new call

:01:44.:01:52.

from the organisation known And

:01:53.:01:53.

the Government believes 400 British For parents,

:01:54.:01:58.

already trying to protect their chidlren from the temptations

:01:59.:02:07.

of drugs and other criminal It is very concerning. Especially

:02:08.:02:09.

when these young children grow up. Today, one of the imams here made

:02:10.:02:25.

an impassioned plea to ignore the call to arms abroad and,

:02:26.:02:29.

instead, to concentrate We need to respect the Muslim

:02:30.:02:43.

regulations of this country. We need to respect the values of this

:02:44.:02:50.

country and in return we must contribute positively by being in

:02:51.:03:00.

major organisations, like being entrepreneurs, I being big

:03:01.:03:05.

businessmen and by being doctors. Amongst young Muslims attending

:03:06.:03:15.

prayers today, a wide range of views on foreign

:03:16.:03:17.

affairs that feel close to home. Millions of Muslims are dying every

:03:18.:03:37.

day. Things are happening in Gaza. The BBC is owned by the Jews. It is

:03:38.:03:41.

very pro Israel. People get let the wrong police and the wrong

:03:42.:04:03.

parts. I do not see any proof that people are leaving this

:04:04.:04:17.

Should football fans be allowed to stand at football matches?

:04:18.:04:20.

Today it became the first political party to support the return

:04:21.:04:26.

Standing was, of course, banned following the Hillsborough

:04:27.:04:31.

But supporters groups and some football clubs say we now

:04:32.:04:36.

have the technology to ` safely ` bring back the terraces.

:04:37.:04:38.

The sight of thousands of fans on the terraces at top flight

:04:39.:04:45.

football matches belongs to a bygone era, following the introduction

:04:46.:04:47.

But if the Lib Dems get their way, some standing could return.

:04:48.:04:57.

Safety experts point to the success of standing areas and other

:04:58.:05:02.

countries. Kenny Derbyshire was at Hillsborough

:05:03.:05:05.

and doesn't believe football should It has been 25 years, a long hard

:05:06.:05:17.

struggle. Even though there have been tests to prove to prove it is

:05:18.:05:24.

safe, I would not like to see it brought back.

:05:25.:05:26.

club to install so`called rail seats, which can be unlocked to

:05:27.:05:27.

It's worked well as a way of re`introducing terracing in

:05:28.:05:31.

Germany's Bundesliga, and according to the Manchester MP behind the

:05:32.:05:33.

We think real seating is the way forward and an opportunity for clubs

:05:34.:05:45.

to introduce safe standing areas which are safer than the current

:05:46.:05:50.

arrangements where we have fanned weekend, week out at grounds across

:05:51.:05:56.

the country standing in areas not designed for that.

:05:57.:05:58.

Manchester United tell us they're supportive of the idea in principle,

:05:59.:06:00.

as are Premier League new boys Burnley.

:06:01.:06:02.

At Liverpool, opinion among supporters, is mixed.

:06:03.:06:05.

People always stand up when there is an attack on the opposition 's goal.

:06:06.:06:19.

If it is not broken, do not fix it. This is a progressive movement.

:06:20.:06:23.

At Rochdale, fans can still stand, and it's a similar case at many

:06:24.:06:26.

of the regions other lower league grounds.

:06:27.:06:27.

Whether standing makes a return to the higher leagues would

:06:28.:06:30.

seem to depend for now, on the Lib Dems faring better

:06:31.:06:32.

We can talk now to Dr Steve Frosdick, who is an

:06:33.:06:37.

He joins us from our Southampton studio.

:06:38.:06:41.

Thank you for joining us the ceiling. Someone said it is

:06:42.:06:50.

retrograde and not progressive to go back to the real things were, do you

:06:51.:06:58.

agree? It is wrong to say that we are returning to anything. This is

:06:59.:07:02.

about moving forward, towards a new type of accommodation, seating that

:07:03.:07:07.

bears no resemblance to the terraces of the past. The terraces were

:07:08.:07:10.

abandoned in the week of disasters because they were deemed to be

:07:11.:07:15.

unsafe. Now we have safe all`seater stadium, more men, women and

:07:16.:07:19.

children are going to football. Justice Taylor made the assumption

:07:20.:07:23.

that people sitting down, that has proven to be

:07:24.:07:29.

not the the Day, you will see at grounds all

:07:30.:07:38.

around throughout the match to watch the

:07:39.:07:45.

game. That is their make that choice and a safer

:07:46.:07:53.

environment. Have the clubs Have they given that up because the

:07:54.:08:02.

Premier standing up in an area for seating

:08:03.:08:10.

is not inherently unsafe. on the angle of the stand. Sometimes

:08:11.:08:17.

it is not possible to have a progressive crowd, is forward and

:08:18.:08:22.

the injuries and statistics collected and the likes of the

:08:23.:08:27.

Championship have shown that over 1 million fans stood over two

:08:28.:08:32.

and not one fan was reported injured, so it is not a realistic

:08:33.:08:37.

argument to say that standing is unsafe. Thank you for that. It has

:08:38.:08:43.

certainly started a beat. `` a debate.

:08:44.:08:46.

The Home Secretary has said she's going to cap the amount

:08:47.:08:49.

of money retired police officers can claim for legal representation

:08:50.:08:51.

Theresa May said it's important the former officers aren't seen to

:08:52.:08:55.

be getting more funding than the families during the hearings.

:08:56.:08:58.

She's also asked for the hourly rate of the police lawyers that's already

:08:59.:09:00.

Greater Manchester Police have apologised to the family

:09:01.:09:05.

of a man stabbed to death in Trafford more than a week ago.

:09:06.:09:08.

18`year`old Rhyan Wilson died after he was found stabbed on Flixton Road

:09:09.:09:10.

GMP says it failed his family in the aftermath of his death

:09:11.:09:15.

by not telling them soon enough and have now launched an investigation.

:09:16.:09:18.

A 35`year`old man has since been charged with his murder.

:09:19.:09:21.

Police are to ban protests outside an Israeli shop

:09:22.:09:23.

They say the protests over the Gaza conflict, by pro`Palestinian and

:09:24.:09:28.

Jewish groups, have been "disruptive and intimidating" to people living

:09:29.:09:30.

Instead, protesters will be given a designated area in a nearby

:09:31.:09:34.

street outside unnoccupied premises, and will be limited to ten people.

:09:35.:09:49.

Preston Council has been defending plans to demolish the city's

:09:50.:09:50.

This week, the authority wrote to traders saying they're intending to

:09:51.:09:54.

appoint an architect to work up a plan for a replacement.

:09:55.:09:56.

They say they've ?5.5 million to spend.

:09:57.:09:58.

Traders though say they're concerned the council's pushing

:09:59.:10:00.

on with the scheme before it has the money to build a replacement.

:10:01.:10:07.

A man's been jailed after he and his partner stored more than one

Trading Standards officers say counterfeit booze costs the UK

Counterfeit spritis ` the contents of some consumed

:10:22.:10:31.

by pub regulars, other bottles destined for the North West.

The alochol in these bottles can be compared to

methylated spirit and this is the couple found with them ` Barbara

There was a couple of thousand kegs of beer are stored around the

When officers carried out a thorough search of the pub in July

:11:08.:11:09.

2012 bottles were displayed on optics behind the bar,

:11:10.:11:12.

and boxes were found in a private bedroom and at the couple's home.

:11:13.:11:15.

In total, 950 bottle of vodka and whisky were siezed.

:11:16.:11:17.

At least one third was unfit for human consumption.

:11:18.:11:22.

The bottles were not what they were claimed to be or counterfeit.

:11:23.:11:32.

Cedric FitzPatrick was running the pub on behalf of his partner. He

:11:33.:11:45.

told the court that most of that alcohol was being stored for someone

:11:46.:11:51.

else, a third party. The court accepted that but said he

offering that alcohol in his pop and therefore cheating his customers. ``

Dairy farmers on the Fylde began the fight back against

:12:26.:12:27.

Backed by the shale gas company Cuadrilla, they've launched a

:12:28.:12:30.

High Court bid to evict a protest camp from farmland near Blackpool.

:12:31.:12:33.

But the protesters claim their occupation

:12:34.:12:34.

of the land isn't damaging it ` it's saving it from industrialisation.

They call themselves the Nano camp, grandmothers patched up on a field

Now, to the amazing tale of a woman from Rainhill who became a German

princess during the First World War. Evelyn Stapleton`Bretherton's story

forms the centre piece of a forthcoming exhibition in the

:15:01.:15:03.

village to mark the centenary of the First World War.

:15:04.:15:06.

Throughout the year we're looking at how the conflict impacted upon the

lives of the people of the North West. Evelyn's story crosses borders

woman from Rainhill and German aristocrat Count Gebhard Blucher.

Her memoirs record the day war was declared.

:15:37.:15:45.

From the very altar on the day of my sister's wedding, her husband was

:15:46.:16:01.

recalled to the warship. They were told that they had to go back to

:16:02.:16:05.

Berlin. Evelyn and Gebhard,

:16:06.:16:06.

a devout Anglophile, During that time

:16:07.:16:07.

Gebhard's father died. He became a Prussian prince `

she his princess. after a ship named Blucher `

:16:11.:16:12.

in honour of Gebhard's family ` A few years later she talked about

:17:20.:17:25.

resting place for a prince and is. `` Grieve. `` Princess.

:17:26.:17:37.

Time for the sport. What can you tell us about Mario Balotelli? He

:17:38.:17:49.

has arrived in Liverpool. He is expected to be paid ?120,000 each

:17:50.:17:54.

week. He arrived at the training ground shortly I go. Things seem to

:17:55.:18:05.

be moving quickly now for the player that had a great goal`scoring record

:18:06.:18:10.

at Manchester City and also at AC Milan, there he scored 30 goals in

:18:11.:18:16.

50 matches. Liverpool, it is reported, are seeking assurances

:18:17.:18:21.

from the striker regarding his commitment and behaviour. Brendan

:18:22.:18:27.

Rodgers said today that all of the team have to do to the same code of

:18:28.:18:35.

conduct. We have a very extensive code of conduct at Liverpool. There

:18:36.:18:40.

is no specific code of conduct for any individual, it covers both staff

:18:41.:18:46.

and players at the club. Manchester United introduce the latest signing

:18:47.:18:53.

today. The left`footed Argentinian defender signed from Sporting Lisbon

:18:54.:19:00.

cost ?16 million, Nanny went in the opposite direction on a season's

:19:01.:19:05.

alone. Louis van Gaal says it may take some time for Manchester United

:19:06.:19:11.

to launch an assault on the Premier League title, however. He is coming

:19:12.:19:17.

from abroad and does not speak any English. It means that he will have

:19:18.:19:21.

to adapt to new culture and philosophy. It is not so easy. It

:19:22.:19:28.

takes time. It is the same for all of the foreign players.

:19:29.:19:33.

On the cricket, Lancashire fans will head the bombing on the moral and

:19:34.:19:41.

will look to lift the trophy. The semifinals and final will be played

:19:42.:19:47.

on the same day at Edgbaston and is the chance that Freddie Flintoff

:19:48.:19:51.

could return to action. County champions three years ago and

:19:52.:19:54.

now Andy Hunt for glory and the T20 silverware. The skipper is

:19:55.:20:05.

confident. We have one of the best records in terms of games one and

:20:06.:20:14.

games played. One teacher face Hampshire in the semifinals, the top

:20:15.:20:22.

list of opponents, they have twice won the T20 final. `` Lancashire. We

:20:23.:20:26.

have been in the finals five times but any team we come across in the

:20:27.:20:33.

semifinals will be very good. It has been an and down season for

:20:34.:20:39.

Lancashire, shortest form of the game but also

:20:40.:20:47.

in danger of being relegated from the County championship. For now,

:20:48.:20:53.

the focus is on T20 and many supporters watching Lancashire and

:20:54.:20:59.

won the action yesterday feel that they will take

:21:00.:21:01.

be tough for them but they have been playing better

:21:02.:21:11.

50 over matches. There could be extra pressure on them to perform.

:21:12.:21:16.

Andrew Flintoff is in the squad tomorrow after struggling with a

:21:17.:21:22.

calf problem. While he play? It is a very difficult team to pack, you

:21:23.:21:28.

will have to return to say. Lancashire where we've on by fans

:21:29.:21:34.

this afternoon. They are only two wins away from lifting the trophy.

:21:35.:21:39.

It seems unlikely that Freddie Flintoff will play, but you never

:21:40.:21:42.

know. If Mario Balotelli is at it was end

:21:43.:21:49.

over the weekend, we could have something for him to do.

:21:50.:21:54.

That is correct, they will be hoping for good weather in Liverpool this

:21:55.:21:59.

weekend as the International music festival gets underway. That is

we have kept the elements that worked and added some new elements.

look at that in slow motion. Annabel is out of there! I know it sounds

ridiculous, but my goodness, that was unbelievably cold. Just for a

:27:24.:27:31.

short while, however! If you go to our Facebook page, you can take a

:27:32.:27:40.

look at that again and see who we have nominated. And they cannot say

no to that challenge. Have a great bank holiday weekend. Goodbye.
