Fears for Salford aid worker Alan Henning,

:00:11.:00:13.

the latest hostage threatendd with execution by Islamic State.

:00:14.:00:15.

A very ordinary guy, a taxi driver, a father, a keen fisherman,

:00:16.:00:18.

and someone who just wanted to help Syrians.

:00:19.:00:20.

We speak to a BBC reporter who filmed hhm

:00:21.:00:22.

Doing her dream job, a coroner hears how a zookeeper in Culbria

:00:23.:00:29.

All the signs suggest the Scottish independence referendum will be

:00:30.:00:35.

a very close call, so why is the small Cheshird village

:00:36.:00:38.

And a real Cliff hanger, whx war veteran Cliff Dadson decided to

:00:39.:00:44.

Those who know him say he's an ordinary man who was compelled

:00:45.:01:05.

Described by his friends tonight as the best of the best,

:01:06.:01:09.

Alan Henning, a taxi driver from Salford and father of two, is the

:01:10.:01:12.

latest British hostage to appear in a video released by Islamic state.

:01:13.:01:15.

Alan was captured around Christmas but over the weekend

:01:16.:01:19.

According to the Foreign Secretary, his family is going through hell.

:01:20.:01:23.

This is how Alan Henning's family wants the world and in parthcular

:01:24.:01:36.

his captors to see him. As ` man who simply wanted to help those in need.

:01:37.:01:43.

At the end of last year, thd BBC filmed the taxi driver as hd

:01:44.:01:46.

prepared for an aid mission to Syria. He'd been there before, and

:01:47.:01:51.

was going back to take more humanitarian supplies. But 30

:01:52.:01:54.

minutes after crossing the Syrian border, he was kidnapped. Now his

:01:55.:01:59.

captors say he will be killdd unless the demands of the so`called Islamic

:02:00.:02:04.

State are met. Alan Henning's family are going through hell at the

:02:05.:02:07.

moment. It is a terrible tile for them. We are doing everything that

:02:08.:02:14.

we can to protect him. But they understand, because we have

:02:15.:02:19.

explained to them in detail, they understand the limitations of our

:02:20.:02:22.

abilities. We are not showing the video of Allen released at the

:02:23.:02:27.

weekend. In it, he is wearing an orange jumpsuit while a masked man

:02:28.:02:30.

stands over him and makes this threat. If you, Cameron, persist in

:02:31.:02:37.

fighting the Islamic State, venue like Obama will have the blood of

:02:38.:02:44.

your people on the hands. Wd will have a form of dialogue, we will not

:02:45.:02:47.

negotiate with terrorists. While there is dialogue ongoing, there is

:02:48.:02:53.

hope that we could have a dhfferent outcome. For those who know Alan

:02:54.:02:58.

Henning, who used to chat to him breakfast, this is not about global

:02:59.:03:02.

security or world politics, it is about a good man who was trxing to

:03:03.:03:10.

help. Before Christmas, I h`d a last chat with him, that he was going to

:03:11.:03:13.

take an ambulance for whatever he was capturing, good and things, for

:03:14.:03:19.

refugees. While Alan Henning's family has asked for privacx, his

:03:20.:03:22.

friends have described him `s the best of the best.

:03:23.:03:26.

I am joined now by Catrin Nxe who works for the Asian network and

:03:27.:03:32.

filmed with Alan Henning as he prepared to go out with the convoy

:03:33.:03:36.

to Syria, thank you for spe`king to us about this. We heard that friends

:03:37.:03:42.

said he was the best of the best. You met him, what impression did you

:03:43.:03:48.

get of him? Well, he was a very funny man. While we were packing, he

:03:49.:03:54.

was constantly telling jokes and keeping everyone entertained and

:03:55.:03:57.

that is what people who know him and went on the convoy with him have

:03:58.:04:02.

said about him as well. That he was very kind, incredibly generous,

:04:03.:04:07.

incredibly selfless man who only thought about others and not about

:04:08.:04:11.

himself. I actually met him as Gadget, which is his nicknale,

:04:12.:04:15.

because of his fondness and talent for gadgetry which is very tseful in

:04:16.:04:23.

convoys like this. Was therd any element of fear going out on these

:04:24.:04:26.

convoys? You wanted to go and help people, but was he aware of the

:04:27.:04:34.

dangers? When I met him, he had been on one convoy already and w`s

:04:35.:04:37.

preparing to go on another `nd another. First off, he had been

:04:38.:04:43.

inspired by friends who had been on these convoys and had been hn and

:04:44.:04:47.

out of Syria safely. He had seen them go, he had been impressed by

:04:48.:04:50.

what they had done, the charity work he had done, and he had been himself

:04:51.:04:56.

and had what he described as a life altering experience. The picture

:04:57.:05:03.

that we see of him is in a refugee camp in Syria, he described the

:05:04.:05:07.

children and orphans that hd met, and these convoys allow people to

:05:08.:05:12.

take aid for the UK `` from the UK and take it to people who are

:05:13.:05:15.

desperate for it. He had an experience he could not forget. When

:05:16.:05:20.

I met him he was talking about a, you can understand why he w`nted to

:05:21.:05:27.

go back. People talk about not being able to come back, they know the

:05:28.:05:32.

dangers. I asked a friend of Allen's the convoy leader on his

:05:33.:05:37.

convoy, if he had said he w`s scared before he went in and he sahd, no,

:05:38.:05:41.

he had been before and he w`nted to go again and it was only other

:05:42.:05:45.

convoy members who dissent `` concerned for his safety. Wd have

:05:46.:05:53.

been speaking to Kathleen, his friends, `` to people like his

:05:54.:05:57.

friends, what do they feel `bout his kidnap? They are obviously very

:05:58.:06:01.

concerned and everyone is jtst hoping that things work out for

:06:02.:06:05.

him, basically. That there hs a positive outcome. Thank you very

the whistleblower who first helped us bring the scandal to public

:10:38.:10:41.

attention nearly 20 years ago. An inquest has been told

:10:42.:10:50.

a defective bolt was found on a door inside a tiger enclosure

:10:51.:10:52.

when it was inspected shortly Sarah McClay died after being

:10:53.:10:55.

attacked at the South Lakes Wild The inquest also heard no concerns

:10:56.:11:01.

had ever been raised about the condition or design

:11:02.:11:06.

of the enclosure. Peter Marshall joins us

:11:07.:11:09.

from the inquest in Kendal. Just tell us what more we hdard

:11:10.:11:26.

about the Echo incident tod`y. We heard that Sarah McClay was 24 years

:11:27.:11:31.

old, she had worked at the South Lakes Wild Animal Park for over two

:11:32.:11:35.

years as an animal carer went on May 24 last year, she was attacked by

:11:36.:11:41.

Issa March Tiger, `` by a Stmatran tiger. She died from multiple

:11:42.:11:46.

injuries to her neck, back, arm and legs and those injuries werd not

:11:47.:11:51.

able to be survived, accordhng to the home office pathologist carried

:11:52.:11:56.

out the exam in addition. She also said the injuries were conshstent

:11:57.:12:01.

with an attack by a tiger and Sarah being dragged across the enclosure

:12:02.:12:06.

floor. We also heard from a senior officer in Barrow Borough Council

:12:07.:12:10.

who took part in a health and safety investigation afterwards, what did

:12:11.:12:15.

they have to say? Firstly, to help the jury understand the layout of

:12:16.:12:20.

the tiger enclosure, they rhsk go `` shown a scale model which showed how

:12:21.:12:25.

animal areas and staff errors were kept separated by a series of doors

:12:26.:12:28.

and sliding panels. Then we heard evidence from Borough Counchl by an

:12:29.:12:34.

inspector who took part in `n inspection, he said he found a bolt

:12:35.:12:37.

on one door which separated the tiger area from the start area was

:12:38.:12:41.

defective so the door would not rest snugly in its frame, there was a

:12:42.:12:48.

small gap. When questioned, he accepted it was impossible to know

:12:49.:12:52.

when the bolt became defecthve, whether it was before, during or

:12:53.:12:56.

after the incident. He said there was never any concern about the

:12:57.:12:59.

design of the tiger enclosure, and there was a 4 `` an inspecthon for

:13:00.:13:04.

days before the incident whdre no concerns were raised. There wasn't a

:13:05.:13:09.

statement `` there was a st`tement from Sarah's mother? Yes, she said

:13:10.:13:14.

that her daughter was doing her dream job when she died, thd job she

:13:15.:13:17.

had dream of doing since shd visited the park as the young girl. She also

:13:18.:13:21.

referenced controversy afterwards when the tiger was not destroyed,

:13:22.:13:26.

that is absolutely not what Sarah would have wanted, she said, she

:13:27.:13:29.

would not have blamed the thger for what had happened. Tomorrow, the

:13:30.:13:30.

jury visits the site. With their eye on the prize,

:13:31.:13:33.

the Merseyside Nighthawks swoop in to win a British version

:13:34.:13:38.

of the Super Bowl. And also, flying high,

:13:39.:13:43.

we meet Cliff who's taken up As we were climbing up I thought to

:13:44.:13:45.

myself, whatever am I doing here? The independence debate is

:13:46.:13:55.

the hot topic north of the border with polls predicting it'll be neck

:13:56.:14:02.

and neck come Thursday. Here in the North West one village

:14:03.:14:07.

is flying the flag Mollington

:14:08.:14:13.

in Cheshire is adorned with Union A message from Mollington ndar

:14:14.:14:29.

Chester. They say they want Scots to be brave, not full party. ``

:14:30.:14:38.

foolhardy. As the referendul date comes, the village is festooned with

:14:39.:14:44.

flags. We have a very strong opinion and I know that we represent

:14:45.:14:47.

thousands and thousands of thousands of villagers right across the

:14:48.:14:50.

region, if not the country. They have had no say whatsoever.

:14:51.:14:59.

Mollington is 500 miles frol John O'Groats. Despite the distance,

:15:00.:15:02.

summer in the world. It is very Scottish. We want them with us, our

:15:03.:15:08.

island nature is better in which to buy all sorts of different cultural

:15:09.:15:13.

identities around us. And Fhona s campaign has taken. More th`n 6

:15:14.:15:17.

homes in Mollington are currently flying either the union flag of the

:15:18.:15:21.

St Andrews fly, and in some cases those, including Angus. His name

:15:22.:15:29.

gives it away, a long`time Scottish exile. 50 years ago, I would have

:15:30.:15:34.

voted yes. But at my age now, no way would I even consider voting for

:15:35.:15:42.

them to go to Scotland. My husband mounted a ladder and nailed it to

:15:43.:15:48.

the Scots pine, we thought ht was appropriate. Back on the grden and

:15:49.:15:52.

by sheer coincidence, Scotthsh visitors. We thought, they have got

:15:53.:15:56.

the flag out for us! Then wd realised what it was about, we

:15:57.:16:00.

thought it was lovely. And hf the vote goes the way of the unhon? We

:16:01.:16:07.

will be celebrating with a large glass of scotch, facing north and

:16:08.:16:08.

raising our glasses. Let's go on to sport, flags also

:16:09.:16:21.

flying at Old Trafford yestdrday. Even the keyword is being spoken

:16:22.:16:23.

about? It is, Louis van Gaal mentioned the

:16:24.:16:29.

word title. A change from a couple of weeks ago! It is after w`tching

:16:30.:16:35.

his side thrashed QPR 4`0. This is what he said after the match. If it

:16:36.:16:39.

is not this year, then the second and third year I want to give the

:16:40.:16:43.

championship to the fans. It was only one win but there was `

:16:44.:16:46.

different feeling around Old Trafford yesterday. In no slall part

:16:47.:16:50.

down to the performance of @ngel Di Maria who was in sparkling form He

:16:51.:16:53.

got them up and running with the opening hole and was instrulental

:16:54.:16:57.

throughout. Herrera also got his first goal for the club. Waxne

:16:58.:17:03.

Rooney and one matter `` and Juan Mata said the threat got `` they got

:17:04.:17:13.

goals. We are very happy about the results, the goals that we lade but

:17:14.:17:17.

also in the second half, we made a lot of, we created a lot of chances

:17:18.:17:22.

and I am pleased about that. It must have been a stranger turn, `nd not

:17:23.:17:27.

very good for Rio Ferdinand to Old Trafford. `` strange return. But he

:17:28.:17:34.

has been speaking about Davhd Moyes? Yes, he is now playing for PPR, he

:17:35.:17:38.

was presented with a gift bx Sir Bobby Charlton. To celebratd 12

:17:39.:17:43.

years at United. He is not very come to mention the about David Loyes,

:17:44.:17:49.

saying his innovations led to negativity and confusion.

:17:50.:17:50.

In the Championship, Blackpool fans chanted their support for m`nager

:17:51.:17:53.

Jose Riga as the Tangerines earned their first point of the se`son

:17:54.:17:56.

Pool climbed off the bottom of the Championship thanks to

:17:57.:17:58.

Riga almost lost his job last week, but many supporters made it clear

:17:59.:18:03.

Blackburn moved up to eighth, beating Wigan 3`1.

:18:04.:18:08.

Two of Rovers' goals came from Man of the Match, Ben Marshall.

:18:09.:18:11.

And Crewe claimed their first win of the season,

:18:12.:18:14.

beating Port Vale 2`1, but @lex remain bottom of Division One.

:18:15.:18:20.

Superleague, and it looked `s though it had slipped away,

:18:21.:18:23.

but after the final set of regular fixtures St Helens sit

:18:24.:18:25.

Congratulations to Saints for winning the League Leaders Shield.

:18:26.:18:29.

One place behind them are last season's Grand

:18:30.:18:31.

Final winners Wigan who'll kick off the play`off matches this wdek at

:18:32.:18:34.

Saints face Castleford Tigers at Langtree Park on Friday.

:18:35.:18:40.

Then there's a mouth`watering local derby between Warrington and

:18:41.:18:43.

And as the skipper of the Champions explains, the play`offs is when the

:18:44.:18:49.

It'll be different to the rdgular season, I think everyone knows how

:18:50.:18:55.

More than likely they're gohng to be quite low scoring games compared

:18:56.:19:01.

Everyone's focus now is really down to the grand final opportunity,

:19:02.:19:07.

From rugby league to another sport with an oval shaped ball,

:19:08.:19:15.

The game's gradually becoming more popular here in the North Wdst,

:19:16.:19:19.

and this weekend the Merseyside Nighthawks took

:19:20.:19:22.

on Edinburgh Wolves in a national final, the most hmportant

:19:23.:19:24.

Called Brit Bowl, it may not have had the glitz

:19:25.:19:29.

and glamour of the Super Bowl, but it was a real cliffhangdr with

:19:30.:19:32.

An amateur squad that included students, engineers,

:19:33.:19:43.

Shouldn't have had that pasta this morning.

:19:44.:19:49.

The club's been around sincd 19 6 but never has it had such stccess.

:19:50.:19:57.

I think to compare us with the Super Bowl is a bit much.

:19:58.:20:01.

I think where we are we just need to keep going.

:20:02.:20:03.

Hopefully, it will improve the fan base and all sport's

:20:04.:20:06.

improved by having more people watching and supporting thel.

:20:07.:20:10.

Watched every match so far during the season so we look forward

:20:11.:20:13.

The Merseyside players are doing their warm`ups as are the Edinburgh

:20:14.:20:19.

players at the other side of the pitch.

:20:20.:20:21.

The Edinburgh players will be coming across some pretty big men,

:20:22.:20:24.

If these men say it's Sundax, it's Sunday, isn't it, boys?

:20:25.:20:35.

Edinburgh started well, a touchdown gave them

:20:36.:20:37.

an early 6`point lead adding another point with the resulting kick.

:20:38.:20:41.

But American football matchds last hours so there's always timd

:20:42.:20:43.

Merseyside did that, and from then, it was anybody's match.

:20:44.:20:48.

The Nighthawks need to pull it out, they need to punch it

:20:49.:20:51.

Hell of a game, Edinburgh gave us a great g`me.

:20:52.:21:05.

We had to step up, we done what we needed to do,

:21:06.:21:08.

Overjoyed, all the work of these guys have put in.

:21:09.:21:13.

All the effort tomake it go so close, I always knew thex were

:21:14.:21:17.

The biggest day in the Nighthawks' history and a big day for

:21:18.:21:21.

And Bury's Scott Quigg remahns on course for a huge unific`tion

:21:22.:21:31.

fight against Carl Frampton after successfully defending

:21:32.:21:35.

Scott stopped Belgium's Stephane Jamoye in the

:21:36.:21:39.

third round in Manchester to retain his WBA super`bantamweight title.

:21:40.:21:49.

Very impressive he was as wdll. Just like the American football

:21:50.:21:57.

They nearly dropped it at the end, the trophy!

:21:58.:22:01.

You mentioned the cliffhangdr in that report, here is another one.

:22:02.:22:03.

Now, what would you do to celebrate your 95th year?

:22:04.:22:06.

Maybe a party surrounded by family and friends?

:22:07.:22:09.

Perhaps a pint at your local or a large gin and tonic?

:22:10.:22:14.

Or maybe you'll just be grateful to still be alive?

:22:15.:22:16.

Cliff Dadson from Cumbria decided to leap out

:22:17.:22:18.

Ahead of his birthday later this year the 94`year`old did his first

:22:19.:22:24.

He raised ?1700 for the charity Action For Children and a lhttle

:22:25.:22:29.

It wasn't jumping out that was worrying me, it was

:22:30.:22:35.

as we were climbing up, I thought to myself, whatever am I doing here?

:22:36.:22:40.

And when the door opened, I looked down and saw Grangd two and

:22:41.:22:45.

a half miles below me, I thought, good heavens, I'm going to fall

:22:46.:22:48.

Having once left the aeropl`ne, in the hands of, strapped to mx tutor,

:22:49.:22:59.

And when we pulled the ripcord and the parachute opened

:23:00.:23:04.

and we drifted gracefully down to earth, I looked around and H could

:23:05.:23:08.

And Cliff, when you came out of the pl`ne,

:23:09.:23:22.

for those of us who have never done a parachute jump and probably don't

:23:23.:23:25.

have the guts to do one, just explain the sensation to us.

:23:26.:23:28.

Once I'd fallen clear of thd plane, drifting down, floating

:23:29.:23:31.

And the funny thing was that the cameraman came right close up to

:23:32.:23:39.

me, he wasn't attached to us, marvellous control they've got

:23:40.:23:43.

Although it was a bit breathtaking at first, in

:23:44.:23:50.

And I've enjoyed reflecting on it too since.

:23:51.:23:56.

It's a one`off thing, I don't suppose I shall do `nother

:23:57.:23:59.

My friends who are in the parachute corps told me they

:24:00.:24:03.

enjoyed every jump they did when they were in training.

:24:04.:24:06.

So once you get used to it, it is a wonderful thing.

:24:07.:24:09.

But I shall never have a chance to get used to it.

:24:10.:24:12.

I'd be daft at my time of life to try that!

:24:13.:24:16.

You graduated from the Open University last year with a degree.

:24:17.:24:19.

You've done a parachute jump this year.

:24:20.:24:21.

The obvious question now is, what comes next, Cliff?

:24:22.:24:24.

I'm plodding on till I get to 1 0, so I've got another five ye`rs.

:24:25.:24:30.

I think I'd like to do a glider flight.

:24:31.:24:33.

I've never been in a glider and I'm looking around now to see what

:24:34.:24:38.

opportunities there are to get a trip in a glider.

:24:39.:24:42.

It would have to be something in the air, I think.

:24:43.:24:45.

That's the nearest I shall get to heaven, anyway!

:24:46.:24:49.

Cliff, it's an absolute delight to speak to you.

:24:50.:24:52.

Many congratulations on your unbelievable achievement

:24:53.:24:54.

at the weekend and thank yot for talking to us.

:24:55.:25:04.

What a character. I am sure we will be doing a story on him next year

:25:05.:25:07.

when he goes on his glider! Nice day on Billown farm in the Isle

:25:08.:25:09.

of man. They've been busy making hax

:25:10.:25:11.

making and found time to make Since they appeared over

:25:12.:25:14.

the weekend these Minion hax bales have raised over ?1000 for

:25:15.:25:18.

the islands special care baby unit. It's been great weather for hay

:25:19.:25:23.

gathering but is it here to stay? It is pretty good weather for making

:25:24.:25:38.

hay, long may that continue as we had two this week. Very settled

:25:39.:25:46.

conditions, mild air towards us from the continent, nothing changes to

:25:47.:25:49.

dramatically. We are well above where we should be in terms of

:25:50.:25:52.

temperatures for the time of year. This week, mainly dry, mostly fine.

:25:53.:25:56.

I would like to say it is sdttled that we have had some interdsting

:25:57.:26:00.

activity through the afternoon. Most of us have been dry. One or two

:26:01.:26:03.

showers have crept their wax across part of the region and they have

:26:04.:26:07.

gone across Merseyside. Thex do not look dramatic but some of you are

:26:08.:26:12.

reporting seeing mini tornadoes We had some heavy showers, somd winter

:26:13.:26:18.

shearing, that gives us somd volatility and think of your

:26:19.:26:22.

pictures. As the night Asch McRae thank you for your pictures. It will

:26:23.:26:29.

die away overnight, a few pockets of mist and fog first thing tolorrow.

:26:30.:26:34.

Temperature is remarkable for this time of year. Tomorrow mornhng, a

:26:35.:26:39.

slow start for many of us, the first he `` few hours of daylight will be

:26:40.:26:48.

fairly grey. But you get past lunch time, the better the weather. It

:26:49.:26:58.

should be largely dry, maybd a shower on the Pennines. Top

:26:59.:26:59.

temperature 1920. It is very nice, despite thd mini

:27:00.:27:09.

tornadoes. You get them every now or then. Please keep sending in your

:27:10.:27:14.

photographs. Apparently the union flag was upside down in Mollington!

:27:15.:27:19.

Thank you for watching, havd a lovely evening.
