Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The wife of hostage Alan Henning speaks publicly for the first time. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
She pleads with his captors to let him go. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
Alan, we miss you and we are dreadfully | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Barbara Henning calls on Islamic State to act | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
The security guard murdered by a colleage in Iraq the victim's mother | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
The man who hit moment Europe's winning Ryder Cup shot ` | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
Returning here to Lancashird, where tens of thousands of geese `re | :00:38. | :00:52. | |
stopping off on their winter pilgrimage south, in larger numbers | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
than ever before. The wife of Alan Henning has given | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
her first public interview to make a direct and desperate plea to | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
his captors to release her husband. The father`of`two was captured | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
by Islamic State This afternoon as RAF jets hit | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
their first IS targets in Iraq Barbara Henning spoke of her | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
hope that Alan would be soon back Some say wrong time, wrong place. | :01:20. | :01:35. | |
Alan was volunteering with his Muslim friends. He was in the right | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
place doing the right thing. Muslims across the globe continue to | :01:38. | :02:17. | |
question Islamic State over the fate of Allan. Their position regarding | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
his statement is unequivocal. He is innocent. I personally vouch for | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
Alan Henning. Executing this man is totally wrong. It is impermhssible. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
We are at a loss and why those leading Islamic State cannot open | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
their hearts and minds. I ask again, supported by the voices | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
across the world, or Islamic State to spear Alan's life. It makes it | :02:43. | :02:59. | |
all worthwhile to see what hs needed get to where it needs to go. Alan, | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
we miss you, and we are dre`dfully concerned for your safety. H asked | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Islamic State, please release him. We need him back home. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
Barbara Henning was speaking in that interview to the | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
BBC's Ed Thomas ` and he johns us now live from near her home. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
What impression did you forl of the way Mrs Henning is coping? | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
First of all, it was clear that this is one of the most difficult of | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
moments for Barbara Henning, but she was also adamant that it was hard | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
decision to talk to date, and she felt this was the right momdnt to | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
speak out and to try to makd contact with Islamic State. It is worth | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
remembering that she has lived with this out for more than nine months. | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
She said that support that she has received from Muslims around the | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
world saying that it is wrong in terms of Islam to hold Alan Henning | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
is making a difference to hdr. There was also a second theme emerging | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
from the interview. Again and again she appealed directly to Islamic | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
State to communicate with hdr, to talk to her. She wants to t`lk to | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
them about why they are holding him, and for her to ask them to release | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
him. So far, Islamic State have ignored her pleas. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
The most senior police officer so far to give evidence at the new | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Hillsborough inquests has spoken oh his "profound regret" at not asking | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Superintendent Roger Marshall was in charge of policing Liverpool | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
fans outside the Leppings L`ne end of the stadium. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
96 Liverpool fans died in a fatal crush at an FA Ctp semi | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Mr Marshall denied he was "off loading responsibility" by | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
describing a minority of Liverpool fans as being drunk and latd. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Superintendent Roger Marshall, here in the blue shirt, | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
was asked at the inquest in Warrington about which officers | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
The jury saw several video clips of crowds building up outside | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
the Leppings Lane turnstiles where Liverpool fans entered | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Mr Marshall said he could h`ve requested a delay | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
and agreed it would have alleviated anxiety and frustration. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
He said it is one of the most profound regrets | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
of my experience at Leppings Lane on April 15th that I did not do so. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
"I think it would have been possible for me to seek a delay in khck | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
off given the number who were besieging turnstiles at 2.40pm. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
The jury saw video of Mr Marshall trying to control the crowd outside. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
He said he wasn't concerned until two thirty. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
But after that it became unmanageable. | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
Mr Marshall asked for a gatd to be opened to relieve the presstre. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Match commander David Duckinfield made the order. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
But no one closed off the tunnel leading to the pens | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Mr Marshall said he linked the awful events on the terraces | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
directly with my opening of the gates and really had to dig deep to | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
situation. It was put to hil he felt a strong sense of responsibhlity. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
During his evidence is he m`de several references to Liverpool fans | :06:07. | :06:17. | |
and drinking, their lateness, and their behaviour. He was askdd by a | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
barrister if this was off`loading responsibility. He said, no. He said | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
disasters don't happen becatse of individuals, but because of several | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
factors coming together. He will continue giving evidence tolorrow. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
A man has died and several others have been injured after | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
a multi`vehicle crash on thd M5 motorway on the Wirral this morning. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
It was the second crash between junctions 3 and 4. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
The first involved six vehicles ` one woman was airlifted to hospital. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
The later accident ` involvhng nine vehicles`led to the closure | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
A 60 year old HGV driver from Chester | :06:49. | :06:51. | |

The Pope made the announcemdnt in Rome with a simultaneous | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
A security guard, murdered by a colleague frol | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
Rochdale while working in Iraq, had described his killer as a "dodgy | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
Danny Fitzsimons is serving a twenty year prison sentence | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
in Baghdad for the murder of Paul McQuigan and Darren Hall. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
An inquest into Mr McQuigans death has been told that shortly `fter | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
meeting Fitzsimons he descrhbed him to his fiance as "weird". | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
He was dead within twenty four hours. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Stuart Flinders has been at the inquest in Stockport. | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
Paul McGuigan, originally from Scotland, was living in Tyndside, | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
and working as a security gtard in Iraq. His fiancee told the court of | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
a conversation the night he died in 2009. He had met somebody who was, | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
he said, we are, a bit dodgx. It was Danny Fitzsimons. R is later, he was | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
dead, shot by Fitzsimons after a night of heavy drinking. Patl | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
McGuigan had been looking forward to the birth of his daughter, born on | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
the day he should have returned from Iraq. He had been a Royal M`rines | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
and had worked as a bodyguard to George Harrison. Today, his mother | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
described his lovely, caring, gentle nature. He was a lovely, gentle boy. | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
Caring, loving, fantastic f`ther. Absolutely fantastic father. He | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
cared about everybody, everxthing. It `` he didn't deserve what | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
happened. Danny the timid's parents were at the inquest hearing today. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
He is serving a sentence in Iraq for the killing. Since then, barristers | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
have considered whether he was fit enough to be employed in thd first | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
place. Today, the coroner s`id it was not the job of the inqudst to | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
question his murder convicthon, but it would be looking into thd | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
behaviour of Greater Manchester Police and the probation service and | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
that the employment all is dase of G4S. `` the employment policies | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
A pensioner from Liverpool says she owes her life to three teen`gers who | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Sylvia Flynn was watching TV in her lounge, unaware that chip pan | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Luckily the 15`year`olds spotted the flames as they passed | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
and pulled Sylvia and her beloved dog to safety. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
Sylvia loves her dog Rollo, but she nearly lost him | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
There was banging on my front door and I didn't know therd was | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
Three passing teenagers had spotted flames in Sylvia's kitchen | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
We just knocked on the door and then... | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
She didn't believe us at first when we were knocking. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
And the smoke just come out and hit us. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Determined to fetch Rollo, Sylvia went in, but the girls dragged both | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
The Fire Brigade, when they had been in, they said, another four or five | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
minutes, if you had not opened the door to the girls, it would | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
have started coming under the door, and I wouldn't have stood a chance. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Sylvia and Rollo are having chips for tea again tonight, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
but this time she has promised she will not be cooking them. | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
Naomi Cornwall, BBC North Wdst Tonight in Liverpool. | :10:42. | :11:01. | |
Staff have managed to pull ` locomotive, with help from ` trained | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
body`builder, who also then pulled the train himself. It is all to | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
raise ?250,000 for a pre`rahlway projects. That looks like a really | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
difficult way of doing it, doesn't it? Along like that, on your | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
backside. He knows what he hs doing, I'm sure. I hope he doesn't have any | :11:25. | :11:39. | |
splinters. Still to come: Blackwood airport `` Blackpool Airport is on | :11:40. | :11:40. | |
the brink of closure. 36,000 wintering geese stop off | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
in Lancashire on It's been another day of confusion | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
and concern for passengers and staff at Blackpool Airport | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
after yesterday's announcemdnt that Owners Balfour Beatty say commercial | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
flights will end unless a btyer can It's left passengers who've booked | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
flights from the airport in limbo, It is a worrying time for those who | :12:02. | :12:19. | |
have booked to travel from Blackpool Airport. Alistair was supposed to | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
fly to Majorca later this month When you heard about the problem | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
is, what were your thoughts? Don't really know. We are just hoping that | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
they can honour the flights going out, and they will somehow get us | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
back. After recording losses for several years, the owners of the | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
airport say that unless a btyer is found by October the 7th, it is | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
likely that airport operations will close. Travel agents say thdy are as | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
much in the dark as the customers. We know that tour operators like jet | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
to have got contingency plans in place in case it does close, and we | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
are working with them to make sure that all of our customers do get | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
away on holiday. If the big commercial flights do end, the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
terminal's check in desk evdry may well become defunct, but th`t might | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
not mean the complete end of aviation at this site. Brian has run | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
a flying school there for over 0 years. He believes some avi`tion | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
will remain. It may have sole problems in the short`term, but I | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
would say, within a few weeks, general aviation will be catered | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
for. Offshore helicopter opdrator Bond says it is working with the | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
airport to ensure continuitx of services. The Northwest ambtlance `` | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
inner Ambulance Service says it will not be affected. `` error and | :13:49. | :14:04. | |
The North West will be one of the most fiercely contested regions | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Today the battle for your vote continued at the Conservative Party | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
And our Political Editor Arhf Ansari is there for us. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
Yes, that battle will be fotght overwhelmingly in the marginal | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
constituencies, the places were existing MPs have small majorities. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
The Tories are discussing hdre how to win seats from Labour, | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
But their priority is to hold seats they already have. | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
And nowhere is more vulnerable than Lancaster and Fleetwood where the | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Tories have a majority of jtst over 300, and it's Labour's top target. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
You can smell the history at Jay Atkinson's. | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
They have been roasting coffee here at Lancasters since 1837. | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
The current owners have been enjoying business success and say | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
Although you see empty shops on the high street, that is well bdlow the | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
national average for vacant units on a main thoroughfare, and basically | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
The Conservative MP here, Eric Ollerenshaw, says that is p`rtly | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
down to the government supporting major infrastructure projects such | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
as the Heesham road link, but how well does Mr Ollerenshaw go | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
I have voted Green at the l`st several elections, because H am not | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
very keen on any of the major parties, but I must say that the two | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
or three times I have had anything to do with Eric, he has been tops. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
I feel disenfranchised with all of the three parties, reallx. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
I see the Conservatives moving towards | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
the privatisation of the NHS, which inevitably doesn't look good. | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
This is Labour's number one target in the region, and the woman who | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
wants to become the next MP is not convinced the economy is improving. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Well, the Tories would like to say the economy is doing well, but. . | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
I speak to people and people approach me | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
on a regular basis and say, I don't feel it up here, because | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
wages are not increasing, and yet the cost of living is incre`sing. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
The Tories will fight hard to hold Lancaster and Fleetwood. | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
If they succeed, Labour will have done very badly indeed. | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
let's put some of that to the current MP who joins me now. Pat | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
Smith says that people are struggling, and that you voted for | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
every government cut going. How do you respond? In terms of Lancaster | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
and Fleetwood, I don't think everybody is struggling. We have one | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, and it has been coming | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
down. Yes, there have been difficult decisions, and I have been prepared | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
to back them. Unless we havd a government that gets the deficit | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
down and gets their finances in order, everybody knows that all the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
rest is just hot air. And you know that government targets are way off | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
the mark? Well, there is more to come. At least we would talk about | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
it. At least we have announced further figures are getting the | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
deficit down, and we haven't forgotten it like one Mr Miller | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
band. `` one Ed Miliband. The employment figures in Lancaster and | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Fleetwood argued. The emploxment is going up every month, and now use | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
and implement is dropping. Why are you cutting unemployment benefit? We | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
are freezing welfare benefits, because wages are not going up, so | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
why should benefits go up if wages do not go up? People who ard in work | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
will also see their benefits cut. We have all been struggling through | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
this recession. The governmdnt has, and hard`working people and people | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
who have got businesses in Lancaster and Fleetwood have been strtggling, | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
and we are not out of it yet, we all acknowledge that. It is a tough time | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
and tough measures are needdd, but we are seeing some of the bdnefits | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
of that. Thank you very much for your time. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Sport now and it's Manchestdr City's first home game | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
They face Roma at the Etihad Stadium this evening. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Stuart Pollitt is there for us and Stuart talk already that this is | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
That is right. Because they lost their first match away, the pressure | :18:21. | :18:37. | |
is on this evening. Every ydar, they say that city have a tough draw and | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
it is no different this timd around. Two former England team`matds on | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
opposing sides tonight agred that the pressure is on. | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
A disappointing start, but we are fully aware that it is the | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Champions League and we will need to build on that especially at home. | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
I think there is a lot of pressure on City. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Not so much on us I don't think but they are big players | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
and great players and I know a few of them are definitelx hungry | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
The owners you know that thdy really want to have progress in Europe s | :19:14. | :19:29. | |
premier competition. The best they have done is 16th in the last | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
seasons. At least they have European football here. Over at Old Trafford | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
there isn't any this season, which is why Manchester United boss Matt | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
managing director has said that the club is considering playing | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
lucrative midweek friendlies to compensate for the lack of Duropean | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
football at all travel `` Old Trafford, which has cost thdm many | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
millions this is alone. Over the weekend, sport was all about the | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
Ryder Cup. He was the hero who hit the winning shot up in Scotland | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
Last night, he got back homd, and I went round to spend a bit of time | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
with him. From Ryder Cup winning | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
golfer to daddy goalkeeper. I haven't really seen the footage | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
of it or anything yet, so it is literally just back home, | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
back to normal life, like bdfore, you are just chasing | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
the kids around all the timd. He may not have seen it, but Jamie | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
knows that what he has done has made Whatever happens, | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
to be a part of the winning Ryder Cup team is one of those thhngs that | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
you can cherish forever. At 38, | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
Jimmy credits the arrival of Max and I didn't win a tournament until I | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
had my first child, when we had Max, and then three in three years | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
and then obviously this little event, the Ryder Cup, so I think you | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
are back home and you are b`ck to changing nappies, | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
so it's a massive feet back I was so excited to get | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
back home and see them. A week is a long time to be a part, | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
but it was a good week. Did Max know at all | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
what was going on? He knew that we had gone to | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
the Ryder Cup. Not quite sure he knew what | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
the Ryder Cup meant. As he gets older, he will ldarn | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
what's going on, but after playing in that Ryder Cup, it is solething | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
that you don't want to miss. You want to strive to play | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
the next one and the next one For now, | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
his children are more interdsted in They will soon get | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the chance to learn that daddy As the band cranks up here, just one | :21:46. | :22:05. | |
more bit of news. The retirdment of Andrew Sheridan, who spent ten years | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
at the top, has retired to date due to a neck injury will stop he will | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
now pursue a career in the wine trade. There you go. Back to you. | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
Thank you. They've been visiting | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
our region every year for ddcades. And this year there's more | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
of them than ever before. And, as tradition dictates, | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they're stopping over at thd Martin Mere wetlands centre | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
in Lancashire en route to w`rmer Dust is falling, so you probably | :22:40. | :23:03. | |
don't believe me that there are any these but I promise there are many | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
thousands. They are flying tp there. So how do we know that therd are | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
more pink footed geese than ever before? I have been speaking to the | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
man whose job it is to count them, and he said the best time to come | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
and these geese was at the crack of Dawn, so I took him at his word | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
It is a dawn chorus that wotld stir even the soundest of sleepers. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Fortunately, the Martin Mere Wetland Centre has | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
few near neighbours, becausd it s latest visitors are a noisy bunch. | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
You can see it on every bit of water across the site, | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
The pink`footed goose popul`tion now is at a record high of | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
around 300,000 or so compared to what it was hn 1 50, | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
The pink`footed geese began a long journey in Iceland. | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
And, as in so many years past, as the urge to fly south for | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
the winter took hold of thel, they somehow knew that they would have to | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Normally they would expect around 20,000 pink`footed gdese | :24:05. | :24:18. | |
This year, they have got more than double that number. | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
No one is entirely sure why but it could be something to do with | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
We have had a particularly dry September, | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
And how do we know for sure how many there are? | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
Well, Tom has the job of counting them all. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
So I don't lose count, because I tend to have to use all | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
my fingers and toes, we use a clicker, so we just click | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
on every hundred, and then we can go through quite accurately wh`t | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
I also use different featurds in the landscape, so especi`lly | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
on water bodies, any islands, I will use those islands to try to | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
The record that I got last night was 45,800 birds. | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
How long does it take you to count 45,000 birds? | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
It takes about an hour or so to go over the flock. | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
But for the geese, this is only a stopover. | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
Soon they will be continuing their journey south for the winter. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
A few want to see them, you have got to the end of October. Fant`stic. | :25:15. | :25:49. | |
Thank you very much. If long day for him. He was there a very early this | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
morning. The day has been another beautiful one. My summer drdsses | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
back on. It has been very pleasant, | :25:59. | :26:10. | |
temperatures are at 20 Celshus and 21 Celsius. For tomorrow, ddfinitely | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
a cloudy day, and there will be some rain, but it will not be drdadful. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
This weather front which was creeping towards as kind of fell | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
apart. This is its current position. Over the next couple of hours, it | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
will push across the North West so many places will see a dampdning of | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
the ground, but nothing much more than that, and then it will clear | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
the way. We will be left with a dry night, a cloudy night, and ` very | :26:39. | :26:48. | |
mild night. 14 Celsius or 14 Celsius for most towns and cities, so | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
feeling good. For tomorrow, not as good as today. You will havd a lot | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
of cloud cover around. Therd could be a light shower. Bright skies in | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
the southern part of the region We have this week whether front which | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
moves from the Isle of Man hn two parts of Cumbria and Lancashire by | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
lunch time, and then everywhere by the afternoon. Behind it, writers | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
guys will come into parts of the Isle of Man. It will open the door | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
to colour and fresher conditions. Tomorrow night, it could be chilly. | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
We are trying valiantly to hold the cold air at bay. Scarves and | :27:32. | :27:41. | |
whatnot. Thanks for watching. Good night. | :27:42. | :27:55. | |
