we are back with the late news at 11pm, now on BBC One it's time | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
The lead author of the influential Hillsborough Independent Panel | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
report says he's refused to accept a New Year's Honour. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Professor Phil Scraton says he has rejected an OBE | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
because of the failure of successive Governments to help Hillsborough | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
In a statement, the author and academic says he realises it may | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Detectives investigating the fatal shooting of a father of two | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
in Liverpool have arrested a man on suspicion of murder. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Mark Hillman was found with gunshot wounds on Lloyd Close | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
A 22-year-old man from Kirkby is being questioned | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
by officers from the force's Serious Organised Crime unit. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
It's hoped new research by the University of Liverpool | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
could help diagnose the early stages of rain diseases, such | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
could help diagnose the early stages of brain diseases, such | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Academics have been looking at the brush-strokes of artists | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Living with dementia, Joyce Cope still enjoys painting. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
But today, her work is very different from the highly detailed | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
pieces she used to produce before the disease took hold. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
They are just really good copies of the Old Masters and very detailed. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
from years ago, but generally, if you ask her what she had | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
for breakfast this morning, she can't remember. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
But can art, more specifically, the way artists work, tell us | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
something about the development of dementia and other | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
There is some fractal content in this, which is what we call | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Fractal analysis is a complex, mathematical method of looking | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
The recurring patterns of our brainwaves and | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
The same applies to the individual brush strokes of artists. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Now, an analysis of more than 2,000 works by seven famous artists has | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
revealed tiny changes in those patterns. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
In artists who went on to develop dementia or Parkinson's Disease, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
the fractal patterns started to change in an unusual way. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
So what we find is up to 20 years before they actually had a diagnosis | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
of a neurological disorder, the fractal content | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
within their paintings had started to decrease. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
The artist Willem de Kooning was diagnosed with Alzheimer's | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
The brush stroke patterns seen in his earlier work were different | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
But in the work of Picasso, who died free of any known | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
neurological disease, the patterns remain constant | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
throughout his life, regardless of what he was painting. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
So is it easier to use oils than watercolours? | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
This won't help diagnose dementia or similar diseases, | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
but it does give a valuable insight into changes that are taking place | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
in the brain years before the illness appears, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
and so could help answer questions about these devastating conditions. | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
BAE Systems say they plan to take on over 550 | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
300 will work on the two submarine programmes at Barrow-in-Furness. | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
The defence giant's building new Dreadnought class | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
and maintaining four Astute class submarines. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Greater Manchester Police have held an event to improve | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
the safety of horse riders on the region's roads. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Riders and motorists were given advice and a tour of the force's | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
mounted unit to encourage them to share the roads responsibly. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
It was organised following a rise in the number of road accidents | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Horses, riders are being put in dangerous situations. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Sometimes through their own fault, so that's why we | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
are here, to educate riders and make sure they are looking after | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
themselves and putting themselves in the right position | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
and doing the right things, but also for motorists. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Football now and Morecambe's manager Jim Bentley's confirmed | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
that the club is under a transfer embargo. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
It follows a a huge period of uncertainty behind | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
the scenes at the Globe Arena since the takeover by Brazilian | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Last week, directors at the club criticised Mr Lemos for failing | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
In the Christmas holidays it's more important than ever to help young | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Wigan Youth Zone takes over when schools close | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
providing somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
to and is making a huge impact on the young members | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
To me, the Youth Zone means a family and somewhere to go. | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
A place where people can be free and make friends | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Since he became one of the 6000 members of Wigan Youth Zone, | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
he's throwing himself into the centre's enterprise group, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
set up two small businesses and found the confidence | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
For Sean, inspiration came in the centre's | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
The 19-year-old was struggling with a variety of problems | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Since coming here, I've come out of my shell a bit. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
I started writing new songs, on two songs which I filmed music | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
videos for and have been put up on the Wigan Youth | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Sport plays a central role in Wigan Youth Zone, too. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
There's a gym equipped with kit from the London | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
2012 athlete's village, a sports hall which hosts | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
all sorts of activities, a climbing wall, a boxing gym, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Once local athlete Jenny Meadows retired from competing, | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
It's ready important that we do keep active. | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
Obviously we are an under active nation at the moment so it's | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
great that sport and physical activity still has a presence here. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
The centre was founded with ?6 million from local | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
businessmen Dave Whelan and Martin and Bill Ainscott, | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
but it costs ?2 million a year to run. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
The benefits, though, run deep with school attendance up | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
We have prevented them from entering the criminal justice system. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
That is down to the engagement of the staff here, there's | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
For these young people, it's truly an opportunity | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Becky Barr, BBC North West Tonight, Wigan. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
We have had a really happy frost, haven't we? A lovely day. We | :06:38. | :06:51. | |
promised you yesterday that it would be foggy and cloudy but most people | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
didn't see either of those things. la pictures have captured that heavy | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
frost this morning. I don't think we need to worry about that first in | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
this morning because we will see more cloud cover and milder | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
temperatures. That is temporarily because by that I would get to New | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
Year's Day the temperatures for away and it will be very cold to start | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
the New Year. At the moment it is 50-50, we have cloud and the cloud | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
will build la by Allah, fairly low so it will be a bit misty over the | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
tops of the hills. Some drizzle on the -- the cloud will build | :07:29. | :07:38. | |
overtime. Tomorrow it is a great picture all the way through but the | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
breeze is light and the air is mild so under the cloud cover while it | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
won't look bright and temperatures would be too bad. Seven or eight | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
Celsius. We will be back at the later than usual time at ten past | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
11pm. Have a lovely evening. Goodbye. | :07:58. | :08:17. | |
Temperatures have dropped away shortly and we have seen some fog, | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
particularly through the Midlands. We do have some clout drifting in | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
from the west. By the end of the night, towards the East Midlands as | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
well. Further north, more of a breeze from the south-west, bringing | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
in a weather front. Keeping the temperatures at seven or 8 degrees. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Freezing or just below to the south-east corner. Fog will live to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
low cloud and generally speaking a lot more cloud than we saw | :08:48. | :08:49. |
