say they're overwhelmed by the donations and support

:01:03.:01:04.

they've received following an arson attack that killed

from outside the dog's home. The volunteers here have bedn

:01:24.:01:45.

through a lot in the last 24 hours. First the shock of the fire, losing

:01:46.:01:53.

so many dogs. Then donations from around the world. The charity that

:01:54.:01:57.

founded the dogs home was from 800. It has honed over 1 million dogs.

:01:58.:02:09.

Today, this is a crime scend. People living near dogs

about the Rotherham sex abuse scandal. He worked there in 200

The fish were discovered by Environment Agency officdr

Andrew Croft as he was testhng water quality of the River Calder

It will be the end of an er` for the Douglas horse tram service

For the last time ever horsds will pass each other using

Major redevelopment work has led to the changes, which will see a single

It's claimed almost two and a half two thousand livds

:06:56.:07:06.

in West Africa, but there's still no cure for the deadly ebol` virus.

:07:07.:07:09.

But today researchers at Liverpool University said they had

:07:10.:07:11.

made an important step towards developing a vaccine.

:07:12.:07:13.

It comes as the World Health Organisation claimed the nulber of

:07:14.:07:16.

cases was rising faster than health authorities could contain it.

:07:17.:07:17.

There are no licenced treatlents or vaccines for Ebola,

:07:18.:07:35.

more than half of those who have caught it have died.

:07:36.:07:38.

But could researchers here hn Liverpool have made a break through?

:07:39.:07:40.

This is the university's Health Protection Research Tnit

:07:41.:07:44.

A team here has identified ` protein which attacks the immune system

:07:45.:07:49.

And it found some existing drugs can block that protein.

:07:50.:07:55.

We can use off the shelf drtgs like one used for heart disdase

:07:56.:08:07.

It's early days, but if the cure involves a drug we

:08:08.:08:10.

already know about, it would bring forward a cure by several ydars

:08:11.:08:23.

it is exciting news. This is a. . These scientists are trying to come

:08:24.:08:50.

up with all kinds of viruses. If this breakthrough does work, it

:08:51.:08:56.

could be years before a vaccine is developed.

:08:57.:08:58.

In just six days time the pdople of Scotland will be heading to

:08:59.:09:00.

Whatever the outcome of the vote, it's likely to mean big changes not

:09:01.:09:06.

just north of the border, btt also for politics in this region.

:09:07.:09:09.

The deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, today said that more

:09:10.:09:11.

power needs to be devolved to regions across England in the wake

:09:12.:09:13.

Here's our Political Editor Arif Ansarh.

:09:14.:09:29.

If Scotland votes yes indepdndence, they can go their own way. But they

:09:30.:09:42.

will get greater power anyw`y. There are people in north`west

:09:43.:09:47.

they feel distant from Westlinster as well. Nick Clegg is saying today

:09:48.:09:55.

that he has support for that idea. The previous

:09:56.:10:00.

on the idea of regional quangos It does not mean

:10:01.:10:08.

That is what we should do now is work with the kind of

:10:09.:10:15.

counties, city regions, but also make sure that those errors

:10:16.:10:38.

last few years is that we h`ve attack creation

they don't need any more politicians. But

achieve. This man calls himself an ethical hacker. You would sdt up a

These Lancaster University students will be on the front line in the war

against cyber crime. They c`n steal intellectual property, they can lead

to other issues like dealing with authorities. There is reput`tional

:13:38.:13:43.

damage. Is there still a culture that suggest it might happen to

Walking into history in Manchester. I am going to be... Talking about

:15:03.:15:06.

life simpler and safer. lies meant changing fashions. Short

:15:07.:15:19.

hair, shorter shirts. Was there any resistance? Not particularlx about

:15:20.:15:29.

dress, though there was quite a lot of resistance as the war went on,

:15:30.:15:36.

because other freedoms for women came into evidence. They did not

:15:37.:15:43.

mind too much about short skirts. Round the corner to the fred trade

They knocked down the hospital. There was still a strict hidrarchy.

Ladies went out to work. If you were a working`class lady, you are in the

the sport now and the return We have just discovered that

:17:44.:17:58.

Accrington Stanley is parting company with James Beattie. It did

:17:59.:18:09.

not work out well for him there He had been in charge for 16 months.

:18:10.:18:13.

The website said end this journey. Stanley are fourth

:18:14.:18:20.

from bottom of league two. City need a morale boosting

:18:21.:18:23.

win after that surprise homd They no longer have Alvaro Negredo

:18:24.:18:25.

in their squad after he was loaned out to Valencia and manager

:18:26.:18:30.

Manuel Pellegrini said todax that the controversial Financial Fair

:18:31.:18:32.

Play rules meant he had to go. Because City fell foul of the rules,

:18:33.:18:35.

they were forced to cut their Champions League squad

:18:36.:18:37.

from 25 to 21 players and ddspite his success last season, Negredo was

:18:38.:18:40.

one of the players who had to go. Bury's Scott Quigg weighed

:18:41.:18:44.

in today ahead of tomorrow night's world title defence in Manchester

:18:45.:18:46.

against Belgium's Stephane Jamoye. If he comes through unscathdd,

:18:47.:18:48.

the super`bantamweight could feature in a Battle of Britain with fellow

:18:49.:18:50.

World Champion. And as I've been finding out,

:18:51.:18:52.

Scott's steely focus on getting to Weighing in Fort tomorrow's big

:18:53.:19:18.

fight. A contest that could hold the key for all Scott Quigg's

:19:19.:19:25.

tomorrow's. Another fight against Carl Frampton. Petite ``

:19:26.:19:32.

potentially, it could lead to the mega` fight. With the prospdct of a

:19:33.:19:38.

fight against Carl Frampton, important it is one Fort Scott?

:19:39.:19:45.

Huge. It would be the next big thing. He needs to keep focts. Green

:19:46.:19:52.

I am sure he will do it. Boxing is not just a sport to me, it hs a

:19:53.:19:58.

lifestyle. I scrutinise everything. I invest in training equipmdnt that

:19:59.:20:04.

I have, and I leave no stond unturned. You got into the habit

:20:05.:20:13.

filming everything and lookhng at it when you get back. Yes. Whether it

:20:14.:20:19.

is backed work, sparring, fhghts... You cannot scrutinise yoursdlf

:20:20.:20:26.

enough. When you were a lot younger, when you were 14, you are on holiday

:20:27.:20:32.

in Florida. You were just boxing. In the morning, I w`s

:20:33.:20:42.

running at 6am, and I was rtnning where the villa was. It is something

Lancashire's Samantha Murrax is basking in the glory

:21:13.:21:15.

of winning the modern pentathlon world championships.

The modern pentathlete must fence, swim, ride, run and shoot.

:21:34.:21:36.

Now Samantha can say she dods all that better than anyone

Being a world champion, the feeling is so humbling, and it feelhng to
