A call's being made tonight to open up | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
"drunk tanks" in Manchester to cope with | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
in the centre at night. The city's pub and club | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
drinkers to be held overnight in special cells and | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
prepares to debate a report which reveals the huge strain late | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
health and transport services. Abbie Jones reports. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Around 100,000 people visit the city centre every weekend but the 24`hour | :01:39. | :01:50. | |
culture and late`night drinking comes at a price. This man on is a | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
nightclub, he and other pub and club owners want to see drunk tanks. A | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
converted Portakabin, we need police to arrest people. The only way they | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
will realise the behaviour is unacceptable is if they are | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
arrested. It is going to get that individual off of the streets. Some | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
say drunk tanks might have a place in a raft of measures, including | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
education. We are looking at different ways of dealing with this. | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
As the economy grows and more people visit the city it is right we deal | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
with those issues causing harm within the communities. On the | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
streets people were divided today. I think this would work. I have heard | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
it mentioned a few times. Drunk and disorderly if they were taken to a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
police station, we let the money coming from? The number of licensed | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
premises has jumped from just over 602 over 800. The cost of excessive | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
drinking is ?1.2 billion. We are trying to be innovative and radical | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
so we will look at every idea us. Other ideas are running trams and | :03:28. | :03:40. | |
buses and field hospitals. It is the course of our 24`hour living. A | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
mother has described as evil the thugs who stabbed to death her son | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
on Saturday night. His friends have come up with an | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
paying tribute to him and raising money for the family. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
challenge has become a fashionable way to raise | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
but behind the smiles and laughter here today, these young | :04:07. | :04:13. | |

to death by a group of men in a Preston Street on Saturday night. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
All I could see was his face. It was covered. We tried to do everything | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
for him but it was too late. deserved what happened to him, | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
nobody. I would not wish it on anybody. People must stop doing what | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
they are doing now. Cards, flowers and messages of sympathy came today. | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
We just want to do something to remember him by. If money is used | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
towards his funeral or his child, we are just trying to do something to | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
help. He had got into trouble in the past but was trying to turn his life | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
around. this, he would never do what they | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
have done to him, never. Police are keen to trace a blue Vauxhall Vectra | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
and a grey coloured people carrier, possibly a original began scenic in | :05:21. | :05:26. | |

The family of one of the British victims of the Malaysian plane crash | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
have been told his body has now been identified. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Glenn Thomas who worked for the World Health Organisation | :05:43. | :05:44. | |

People Abused in Childhood will have It says staff have had to deal with | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
many more calls because of publicity surrounding the | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Jimmy Savile scandal. We need volunteers to run our | :06:35. | :06:54. | |
services, all of them are free, we do not charge for many of them so we | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
need money to keep those services running. | :07:01. | :07:01. | |
The cost of royal family visiting the North West in 2013 ` | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
could be as much as ?650,000 according to an anti monachy group. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Using Freedom of information request, the group Republic' say | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
the 23 royal visits last year, cost an estimated ?28,000 each. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
They're campaigning for the monarchy to be abolished. | :07:11. | :07:27. | |
A former police sergeant who was on duty at Hillsborough says he was | :07:28. | :07:38. | |
told what to put in and what to leave out of his statement. He did | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
what he was told. The increased has reopened after a three`week break | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
for the summer. Our reporter is outside the court now. Who gave him | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
these instructions about his statement? Philip Lomas had three | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
meetings after the disaster, the first the very next day with the | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
senior officer who told him not to make any entry into his pocket | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
notebook about the disaster. Mr Lomas said that was because blame | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
was being levelled at the force were looking very | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
tearfully at the accounts being made. In the second meeting, four | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
days later, that was with the assistant chief constable of the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
force, Stewart Anderson, Mr Lomas along with a dozen of his colleagues | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
met with the chief constable and were told they were not to blame. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Instead, it was the fault of drunk, ticket plus fans. The chief | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
constable went on to say they should include in the statement any | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
evidence of fans drinking including specifics like how many they were | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
drinking and what brands of alcohol they were drinking. They should | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
leave out any mention of your radio transmissions and staffing levels at | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
turnstiles. What was the reaction of Mr Lomas to that? He told the court | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
he thought that was entirely reasonable. Police had to prove | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
certain points. He said he had seen many fans drinking that day and many | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
without tickets. What the chief constable told him that they fitted | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
in with his recollection. He said he had not exaggerated or told lies as | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
the result. Last week we were talking | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
about the pressures faced by some families in the North West | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
during the summer holidays. One foodbank said it was running out | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
of supplies because of the surge in demand | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
as parents struggle to put food on In Crewe, they're trying to help | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
those families with brunch clubs for children who'd normally eat | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
for free at school. We're told the economy is | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
in recovery. But for some families it | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
doesn't feel that way. They seem to constantly | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
want to eat all the time. And in the summer holidays, | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
giving children who normally get free school dinners an extra meal | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
means an extra expense. You think you will be all right but | :10:32. | :10:49. | |
in the holiday you have to provide more. | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
For some families in Crewe, Brunch Club is part of answer, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
with four different centres serving food to around 70 children a day. | :10:56. | :11:09. | |
We get the deal and costs. `` serial. | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
The club's open to children who qualify for free school meals. | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
According to those behind it, it's proving to be a vital safety net. | :11:25. | :11:36. | |
Are all the children in vital need? I could not say but I would rather | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
provide more than less than is needed. | :11:47. | :12:03. | |
And a trip to the lights fantastic. Cyclists take to the prom to | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
ride the lights in Blackpool. Last week pupils received GCSE | :12:14. | :12:33. | |
results. One boy passed maths at the age of seven. Not only passed, he | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
got the top result. I am pleased to see he and his dad are with us now. | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
What did you say when you got your result? Wow! Really, where you | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
surprised? What did you think, dad? To be fair, we had an idea. He had | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
got the top results previously when we had done some tests. Why did you | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
like doing it? Really because it is just easy. It is really algebra that | :13:15. | :13:23. | |
is my favourite. The easy bit then? You started this yourself, tell us | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
what first got you into maps. Was it a boot your mum bought? `` maths? A | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
GCSE boot you just picked up and thought you would have a go? And | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
your friends don't know? Now. They do now. A remarkable achievement. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
What do you say to people who say do you see is brilliant at maths but is | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
missing out other children any normal school | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
environment. The is the social side but on the other side it was his | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
decision all the way. decided he wanted to go to school he | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
could go but because he gets one to one teaching he is | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
half a day the amount of work he would do in a full day at school. `` | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
able to do. He can finish in half a day. What do you like to do when you | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
are not doing maths? Games on the laptop and tablet. Like any other | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
seven`year`old? And what next? Any other exams? I am thinking | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
chemistry, my dad is trying to promise me to do computer | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
programming. But he wants to do chemistry. The problem I have got is | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
getting the chemicals. You need a lab! Very quickly, how strict is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
your teacher? I am macro I don't go to school! But he is sitting next to | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
you. He must be good. Well done. Puts us to shame. Let's steer clear | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
of algebra questions! ride the lights in Blackpool. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
Tourism in Cumbria now generates over ?2 billion every year for the | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
local economy. For the second year in a row, visitors numbers have | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
risen. But officials to be done to sustain that growth. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
Lindsey Prosser has spent the day in Bowness. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Only beautiful the visitors flock in. It is beautiful when you have | :15:50. | :16:05. | |
got the weather. There are a lot of nice places to explore. It is nice | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
scenery and the people are very pleasant and helpful. I think | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
because of the economic situation people tend to stay at home more | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
than in the past. Tourism has grown and generates ?2 billion per year | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
for the local economy. The weather has encouraged people to stay at | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
home this year at businesses are looking to the foreign market to | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
sustain the North. We are working with overseas operators, we have had | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
representatives over in Japan spreading the word. When people see | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
this scenery they want to come back. We have a really high number of | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
repeat visitors because of the fantastic destination. The beauty of | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
the lakes is marketed globally but the challenge is to get more foreign | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
visitors to look beyond London. We need to promote other parts of the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
country outside London but we need to make transport better from | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Cumbria to London and other parts of the UK. What a lovely day in the | :17:19. | :17:31. | |
lakes. Now onto sport. And Stuart uncharted territory | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
for Manchester United this evening? They're on the verge | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
of breaking the British transfer record to sign Angel Di Maria, | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
and they're also making a bit of unwanted history by playing in the | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
second round of the League Cup for The Red Devils are competing | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
at this stage because they haven't Louis Van Gaal's side are at MK Dons | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
tonight, a club which didn't even exist when United | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
last played at this stage in 1995. As for Di Maria, | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
he's been finalising the ?59.7 million transfer from | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Real Madrid at United's Carrington And most | :18:07. | :18:07. | |
of the club's fans seem pleased to It is a good move for them. Maybe | :18:08. | :18:25. | |
over the top on price. He is what we need in midfield to give us peace. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
It is just what Manchester United need, someone to take them forward. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
And United will need Di Maria and probably a few others to bridge | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
the gap to their rivals Manchester City and Liverpool. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Last season's top two met at the Etihad last night and City once | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
But how significant will it prove to be? | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
Manuel Pellegrini thought so, Brendan Rodgers wasn't so sure. | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
Before the game it was all about Liverpool's new signing. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Mario Balotelli back to watch at the Etihad Stadium and, it seems, | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
not enjoying the August Bank Holiday weather. | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
But it was one of the city strikers bought to replace | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Stevan Jovetic pouncing on an uncertain Liverpool defence | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
to continue the perfect start to City's title defence. | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
Injured and invisible last season, pretty unstoppable last night. | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
And there was no way Liverpool could stop substitute Sergio Aguero. | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
On the pitch for just 23 seconds when he scored | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Liverpool did grab a late consolation. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
But that, for Mario and his new teammates, | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
For me each game has six points. It is important not to drop any, | :19:29. | :19:54. | |
especially at home. They were so good last night. I think city | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
probably have the biggest squad now in the Premier League and its stamps | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
authority for them to go to the champions league. | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
Liverpool's manager says his new boy is a good buy. | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
We need to try and help him. I think we have got a snip. Now it remains | :20:20. | :20:34. | |
to be seen what super Mario can deliver. | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
Staying with new strikers and Everton are close to signing | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
The 33`year`old is in talks over a two`year deal at Goodison Park. | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Eto was released by Chelsea at the end of last season. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
The Cameroon striker could become the third player to move | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
from Chelsea to Everton this summer following Romelu Lukaku | :20:48. | :20:48. | |
There have been two medals for the region's boxers | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Liverpool's Peter McGrail won bronze in the under 56 kilogramme category | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
and Muhamad Ali, who trains at Bury Amateur Boxing Club, also took | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
And Ali's style as you can see isn't that different from the swagger | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
That is some pressure to put on your Child giving them that name and | :21:06. | :21:29. | |
getting them to take up boxing! Now thousands of cyclists will get a | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
sneak preview of Blackpool's eliminations tonight. The prom is | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
being shot to all other traffic this evening so people can ride the | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
lights on two wheels. It is still sunny in Blackpool this evening. | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Lots of bikes are allowed however. Yes, the lights are already on but | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
you will not see them until it gets dark. The bikes | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
to take over. They started making this event equal friendly 20 years | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
ago when they started replacing some of the bulbs with energy efficient | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
LEDs. The least energy efficient bit is the traffic that goes underneath | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
but tonight all that will change. Exterminate. Exterminate. We're else | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
would you find Dallek 's, postman Pat, an astronaut and lots of light | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
bulbs? They are in a huge Wear house but by the end of this week they | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
will be on Blackpool prom. This is probably the largest major thing to | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
go out. We lost a few days last week because of August rains | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
all fed for a brilliant switch on night on Friday. This is his 15th | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
year working on the other nations and he still gets nervous. It is the | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
future and this is opening night so we always get nervous. This is what | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Peter Key will be using at the big switch on. You will have to wait | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
until Friday to see the lights. At this guesthouse you | :23:27. | :23:35. | |
chance to be part of the eliminations. She | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
ambassadors, local business people aiming to promote the eliminations. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
They can write on it, Colorado or whatever they want to do and they go | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
in this year's display. Everybody needs to be supporting the | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
eliminations and it is very important to your business, my | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
business, to the town, we need the support. Tonight, the eliminations | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
will be best seen on two wheels. Now we can speak to the man in charge of | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
leisure here. Traditionally the big switch on was when everyone saw the | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
lights for the first time. I you getting everyone this Treeview? We | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
have done it now for the number of years. It is an opportunity | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
people to see the lights with a car free | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
You are expecting thousands of people. Yes, people come to see the | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
change, we have the number`1 seaside resort in Britain it is the number`1 | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
expedients where people can see the lights in advance of the switch on | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
this Friday. We are encouraging people to take advantage of the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
festival weekend and what we are saying is come down, it is a family | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
atmosphere for residents and visitors. The cars are coming down | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
the motorway as we are speaking. We have certainly got the weather for | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
it here. They will be setting off en masse about seven o'clock and the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
big switch on is on Friday. Thank you very much. Just get out of the | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
way of the cyclists bare, it looked very tedious! And now for the | :25:34. | :25:47. | |
weather. `` very bit tedious. `` `` precarious. Tonight we have a band | :25:48. | :25:59. | |
of rain coming towards us. That will be still around in some places | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
tomorrow morning. Temperatures have been good today. This is how it | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
looks outside our window at the moment but many places have quite a | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
lot of sunshine to end the day. It will be fairly cool with light winds | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
from the East. Goodwillie you could see a temperature of the Celcius | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
tonight. That could mean a nappy start for some. The cool start for | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
some tomorrow morning but it is not a bad day. There will be enough | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
sunshine to make it look and feel OK. The cloud will start to break as | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
we go through the day so remember we are still in August so the sunshine | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
has some strength to it. There will be lighter winds tomorrow as well | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
and it will feel good. Temperatures peaking at 20 Celcius then after | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
that the rain will arrive tomorrow night making it milder than tonight. | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
