Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson -

:00:00.:00:00.

A man and woman die in a Manchester house fire.

:00:00.:00:08.

Four children survived by jumping to safety from a bedroom window.

:00:09.:00:16.

The flames were coming out of the window. They were coming out of the

:00:17.:00:22.

front door as well, a really big fire.

:00:23.:00:25.

Police say they can't rule out

:00:26.:00:27.

The maths graduate from Lancashire - now the first British woman

:00:28.:00:31.

fighting on the front line against Islamic State.

:00:32.:00:37.

A new documentary marks sixty years of Liverpool's iconic Cavern Club.

:00:38.:00:48.

In sport, the Vikings embark on a new season in super league.

:00:49.:01:02.

An investigation is under way tonight after two adults died

:01:03.:01:05.

Five other people - including four children - were injured.

:01:06.:01:11.

They jumped to safety from a bedroom window.

:01:12.:01:13.

It's not yet know how the fire started but police say

:01:14.:01:16.

Our Chief Reporter Dave Guest is at the scene in Withington.

:01:17.:01:22.

Do we know if the adults who died were the children's parents?

:01:23.:01:32.

Basically we do not. The police have not had formal identification of the

:01:33.:01:40.

two people who died. We do not know who they were and what the

:01:41.:01:43.

relationships were between the people in the house. What we do know

:01:44.:01:49.

is it was this morning when the fire service arrived to this detached

:01:50.:01:54.

house to find it well ablaze. Four young people, three girls and a boy

:01:55.:01:59.

lapped for their lives from an upstairs window and another adult

:02:00.:02:03.

male was revived after being found unconscious. The incident has left

:02:04.:02:08.

the community in a state of bewilderment.

:02:09.:02:12.

The charred remains of a home their testament to the ferocity of the

:02:13.:02:21.

fire. I heard a woman screaming and a popping sound. I had a house fire

:02:22.:02:28.

before and it is the windows expanding. The flames were coming

:02:29.:02:32.

out of the window. They were coming from the front door as well, every

:02:33.:02:39.

big fire. One neighbour told me he and others in the area had done

:02:40.:02:44.

their best to help. He described seeing the children jumping one by

:02:45.:02:48.

one from the upstairs window. Firefighters rescued a man found

:02:49.:02:52.

unconscious on the stairs and they revived him before he went to

:02:53.:02:57.

hospital. Sadly, two others, a man and a woman were beyond saving. The

:02:58.:03:02.

fire started on the ground floor rear room, we do not know exactly

:03:03.:03:09.

where. What caused it? No information at this stage. The scene

:03:10.:03:14.

is under investigation and investigators are working alongside

:03:15.:03:18.

police. Throughout the day, forensic teams have been in and out searching

:03:19.:03:23.

for clues to what caused this tragedy. Are you treating this as a

:03:24.:03:28.

crime scene or the scene of a tragic accident? We are keeping an open

:03:29.:03:33.

mind, we have to explore all avenues. We will not be saying it is

:03:34.:03:38.

not a crime scene at this stage. How are the children doing? They have

:03:39.:03:44.

gone through an absolutely terrible tragic ordeal. They are receiving

:03:45.:03:47.

support from specially trained officers. It seems the neighbours

:03:48.:03:52.

pulled together to do their best to help. Absolutely. I would pay

:03:53.:04:00.

specific tribute to the help they have given, without back, the people

:04:01.:04:04.

receiving treatment in hospital would have received more serious

:04:05.:04:04.

injuries. Tonight the police are asking for

:04:05.:04:13.

further help from the community, asking for anyone who might have

:04:14.:04:17.

been in the area in the moments leading up to the fire to come

:04:18.:04:20.

forward to help them piece together exactly what caused the fire which

:04:21.:04:27.

led to such tragedy. Two people dead, five people, including four

:04:28.:04:28.

children in hospital. A woman from Lancashire is believed

:04:29.:04:30.

to be the first British woman to travel to Syria to fight

:04:31.:04:33.

the so-called Islamic State. Kimberley Taylor -

:04:34.:04:36.

who grew up in Darwen - says she's ready to die

:04:37.:04:39.

for the cause. She has joined an all-female Kurdish

:04:40.:04:50.

unit and has moved to fight on the front line near Raqqa.

:04:51.:04:54.

Her parents, who now live in Merseyside, say

:04:55.:04:56.

This is Kimberley Taylor, speaking in Kurdish in a public

:04:57.:05:01.

Kimmie, as she's known, joined the all-female

:05:02.:05:09.

Only this morning, according to a Facebook entry,

:05:10.:05:14.

Wake up call this morning at 4am, she says, when Isis

:05:15.:05:20.

We put up an incredible fight for three hours.

:05:21.:05:24.

I won't go into details about the attack because it's super gory.

:05:25.:05:35.

She spoke to a BBC reporter. I have travelled around the world before

:05:36.:05:42.

and seen the conditions of people in Africa and the women in Africa that

:05:43.:05:50.

have suffered because of the war. And it seems to be connected. I know

:05:51.:05:54.

it is. It is all connected and I promised myself after I went to

:05:55.:05:59.

Kurdistan I would find an answer. Kimmie Taylor, a maths graduate,

:06:00.:06:01.

is believed to be the first British We have seen UK citizens, men, go

:06:02.:06:15.

there before and a couple have died. The bodies have been brought back so

:06:16.:06:20.

it is not unusual for UK citizens to go but the first report of a female

:06:21.:06:22.

citizen. When she joined the fighting force,

:06:23.:06:29.

she told family and friends... Kimmie Taylor's parents,

:06:30.:06:33.

who live in Merseyside, wouldn't speak on camera today,

:06:34.:06:36.

but told us they're She says she's willing

:06:37.:06:38.

to give her life in the fight A section of the M53

Liverpool Football Club is to ban journalists from The Sun

:08:46.:08:52.

newspaper from Anfield - 28 years after the Hillsborough

:08:53.:08:55.

disaster and the paper's now infamous headlines.

:08:56.:09:03.

It's understood the latest move follows a meeting between the club

:09:04.:09:06.

Lets join our Merseyside reporter Andy Gill.

:09:07.:09:11.

Some people might wonder why it has taken the club 28 years to do this

:09:12.:09:15.

what they said? Officially Liverpool are saying

:09:16.:09:18.

nothing, apart from no comment. But we do know that they have

:09:19.:09:20.

withdrawn accreditation from The sun newspaper for covering matches

:09:21.:09:23.

at Anfield and for access to other premises like the Melwood training

:09:24.:09:26.

ground, which is where the club has The Sun of course published its

:09:27.:09:29.

notorious story about Hillsborough, headlined The Truth,

:09:30.:09:34.

four days after 96 people It falsely accused survivors

:09:35.:09:36.

of despicable behaviour towards the victims and for many

:09:37.:09:41.

people connected with Hillsborough The Sun has been

:09:42.:09:44.

a pariah publication since then. There are campaigns to get it

:09:45.:09:49.

removed from newsagents Those campaigns had fresh impetus

:09:50.:09:51.

after an inquest jury last year decided the 96

:09:52.:09:56.

were unlawfully killed. Now, Liverpool football club itself

:09:57.:10:11.

has banned The Sun newspaper. Has The Sun newspaper said anything?

:10:12.:10:13.

In a statement it said "Banning journalists from a club is bad

:10:14.:10:18.

"The Sun deeply regrets its reporting of the tragic

:10:19.:10:22.

"and understands the damage caused by those reports is still felt

:10:23.:10:25.

One Hillsborough mother says she is pleased with the band. Thank you,

:10:26.:10:49.

Andy. Rural communities here

:10:50.:10:50.

in the North West say their way of life is at risk from changes

:10:51.:10:53.

to business rates. The amount of local tax paid

:10:54.:10:56.

by companies is being recalculated in April for the first time

:10:57.:10:59.

in seven years. And critics say towns

:11:00.:11:01.

and cities could benefit at the cost of the countryside,

:11:02.:11:03.

as Mark Edwardson reports from a riding school

:11:04.:11:06.

in Cumbria facing a 60% hike. Ella Wadsworth is a 19-year-old

:11:07.:11:13.

student who is visually impaired. I can't drive legally,

:11:14.:11:19.

so coming here, I can get on a horse She rides 17-year-old cob,

:11:20.:11:22.

Jack, three times a week It is one of many rural

:11:23.:11:29.

enterprises facing business Business rates at the commercial

:11:30.:11:47.

version of council tax. Rural businesses which occupy more space

:11:48.:11:51.

are put at an unfair disadvantage by a bricks and mortar attacks based on

:11:52.:11:54.

premises not profitability. The rise is from ?183

:11:55.:11:59.

per stable to ?375. Riding schools will be joined

:12:00.:12:02.

by livestock markets and kennels and catteries as businesses facing

:12:03.:12:19.

the biggest increases Oil refineries, cement works,

:12:20.:12:21.

bingo halls and even photo booth is significant reductions

:12:22.:12:26.

in their business rates. You can look at the size of the

:12:27.:12:40.

business in terms of geographical size and compare that to turnover

:12:41.:12:44.

and make sure you reduce business rates accordingly, it would not be

:12:45.:12:51.

hard but more Sellotape on an order ready broken system. The industry is

:12:52.:12:57.

not taking it lying down. It is not appropriate for this level of

:12:58.:12:58.

increase to have occurred right now. The school has two months

:12:59.:13:00.

before it is saddled I will have more on that story on

:13:01.:13:26.

the Sunday Politics on Sunday! The clue is in the title. And rumours

:13:27.:13:31.

about the north-west Labour MP taking over the party. Labour

:13:32.:13:33.

leadership again! Now sport and Super League has taken

:13:34.:13:35.

top billing this week. We will see how the Vikings get on

:13:36.:13:50.

tonight. I chatted to fans and they are nervous, they lost key players

:13:51.:13:55.

but let's find out from the horses mouth, I'm joined by the assistant

:13:56.:14:02.

coach. What shape of Aladdin? Good shape, good preseason, I work hard.

:14:03.:14:09.

-- what shape are the lads in? Kevin Brown, key player for a few seasons,

:14:10.:14:15.

how confident are you you can fill the gap? Very competent, Tom Gilmore

:14:16.:14:20.

on the cusp and he has an opportunity. It is an opportunity

:14:21.:14:28.

for him to show us what he can do and the fans. You finished in the

:14:29.:14:34.

top eight last season, a good season, are you confident you can go

:14:35.:14:39.

better this time? Not looking at top eight, we look at each individual

:14:40.:14:43.

week and it starts tonight. If you look too far in advance you get --

:14:44.:14:50.

lose track. It is a tough, -- match tonight but hopefully if we stick to

:14:51.:14:56.

what we know we will do the job. Absolutely. Do you sense and

:14:57.:15:02.

excitement? Yeah, always exciting, first games do not dictate the year

:15:03.:15:07.

but it is good to get out and get out there and show what you can do.

:15:08.:15:09.

Thank you very much indeed. Well, last night as we mentioned

:15:10.:15:12.

St Helens earned a narrow win in a low-scoring but enthralling

:15:13.:15:15.

Super League season opener The Rhinos went ahead before

:15:16.:15:17.

the break as Joel Moon scored But early in the second half

:15:18.:15:21.

Theo Fages crashed over the line and Mark Percival's convertion gave

:15:22.:15:29.

Saints a 6-4 win. It's a big night for newly

:15:30.:15:34.

promoted Leigh Centurions. Their first match back

:15:35.:15:37.

in Super League for over a decade. The Centurions take

:15:38.:15:42.

on Castleford Tigers The Centurions finished top

:15:43.:15:43.

of the Championship and won promotion to the top flight

:15:44.:15:51.

after coming through So what are the players

:15:52.:15:53.

hoping for this season? Winning everything would be

:15:54.:15:59.

brilliant but our aim is survival. We don't want to be winning

:16:00.:16:08.

the million pound game but if we have to do,

:16:09.:16:10.

we will do it but the top In tomorrow's Premier League -

:16:11.:16:13.

Liverpool will be hoping to stop the rot when they face

:16:14.:16:27.

Spurs at Anfield. The steadying influence

:16:28.:16:31.

in Ronald Koeman's emerging side. This week he out in the community -

:16:32.:16:50.

presenting an award to Everton's Premier League Kicks

:16:51.:16:52.

hero and mixing it with As have Everton in recent weeks -

:16:53.:16:55.

the Champions places aren't I think the squad we build

:16:56.:17:09.

and the managers come on the way they want to progress,

:17:10.:17:17.

that is their target. Whether we are strong enough

:17:18.:17:19.

at the moment, I am not sure. Exciting times certainly -

:17:20.:17:22.

as proved with last week's six-three Since then Lukaku's agent

:17:23.:17:26.

say's he's finally close You get so excited about scoring

:17:27.:17:29.

goals, hungry to score goals, whether in training or on the pitch,

:17:30.:17:36.

that is what he lives for. He is going to be

:17:37.:17:41.

massive for Everton. Also making headlines -

:17:42.:17:43.

Ross Barkley and his He got carried away in the heat

:17:44.:17:45.

of the moment, showing The kids were happy

:17:46.:17:50.

with it, I ask them. But what do the kids

:17:51.:17:53.

think about Everton... They started off bad

:17:54.:17:58.

but are getting better again. Doing really good, I'm happy

:17:59.:18:00.

Liverpool are losing every game! Do you support Liverpool,

:18:01.:18:06.

what was it like meeting Well, it was all right

:18:07.:18:08.

considering he is the future I am really excited to be

:18:09.:18:11.

here at the moment. The players we have got here,

:18:12.:18:20.

working with the manager. We will go from there,

:18:21.:18:22.

a game at a time, the old cliches! Lancashire's Laura Massaro says

:18:23.:18:25.

she's in good shape to win another Laura who's been in action today

:18:26.:18:39.

in the championships in Manchester, has previously been the world number

:18:40.:18:43.

one and has has her sights set on getting back

:18:44.:18:45.

to the top of the rankings. Manchester hosts the world

:18:46.:18:49.

championships later in the year, but for now the focus is very much

:18:50.:18:51.

on domestic competiton. And as I found out, it's certainly

:18:52.:18:53.

capturing the imagination And in the women's draw,

:18:54.:18:56.

the big-name is Laura Massaro. Laura is the defending champion

:18:57.:19:04.

and favourite to win again. She won in double quick time today,

:19:05.:19:07.

as she did yesterday. Looking in your eyes,

:19:08.:19:14.

I think the fire is burning Yeah, I mean I think when I'm

:19:15.:19:17.

training and on an improvement role as I am and been through a few

:19:18.:19:24.

new things with my coach and I come away from them feeling

:19:25.:19:28.

like I want to punch them in the face and then cry the whole

:19:29.:19:30.

way home then give me a day or two Wow, if I can really do this

:19:31.:19:34.

and buy in and do this, The championships moved

:19:35.:19:42.

to the national Squash Centre almost a decade and a half ago

:19:43.:19:47.

and with 7000 schoolchildren on the Manchester programme alone,

:19:48.:19:52.

interest is growing among the next Really good because I can

:19:53.:19:55.

meet people and might Music to the years of the man

:19:56.:20:01.

in charge of coaching. This event really does get well

:20:02.:20:08.

supported throughout the North. You can see to the Masters event

:20:09.:20:11.

all the players coming to complete. Do you think you have another

:20:12.:20:16.

world title left in you? I would like to think

:20:17.:20:28.

so so, yeah, definitely. First things first, Laura

:20:29.:20:32.

has her sights set on a fourth national title and in front

:20:33.:20:35.

of the home crowd, she will -- not be short of support. Great to

:20:36.:20:46.

catch up with her again. The local youngsters taking part at the

:20:47.:20:51.

moment. The big boys are on at eight o'clock. The coverage is on rugby

:20:52.:20:53.

league on the local rugby station. Thanks Richard...back in 1957

:20:54.:20:56.

a small basement club opened up in the backstreets of Liverpool -

:20:57.:21:00.

the owners hoping to cash We're talking about the Cavern Club

:21:01.:21:02.

of course, and tonight there's a special BBC programme

:21:03.:21:16.

celebrating its 60th anniversary Welcome to the cavern club! Alleging

:21:17.:21:31.

Derry venue. The cavern will always be here while music is being played.

:21:32.:21:37.

We would queue up in Matthew street waiting to go in and you could hear

:21:38.:21:41.

the throb throb throb of the beads inside. The minute I saw the

:21:42.:21:49.

Beatles, that is what I wanted to be, professional musician. Popular

:21:50.:21:55.

music would not have been the same without the Beatles or the cavern

:21:56.:22:06.

club. Even now it still grabs you as you walk in, you cannot go into the

:22:07.:22:11.

cavern without tapping your foot or fingers. You are in the moment.

:22:12.:22:28.

Gorgeous, gorgeous. Fantastic. It is virtually impossible to separate the

:22:29.:22:32.

cavern from the Beatles. It was more than that. And it is. The whole

:22:33.:22:38.

point about the film is it was strange because it is 60 years of

:22:39.:22:42.

the cavern club and you would not be doing it if it wasn't for the

:22:43.:22:45.

Beatles but they were only there for two years and there were people

:22:46.:22:49.

there before that and now. That tiny cellar in the back row of Matthew

:22:50.:22:57.

street which we knew as students and it became different clubs and

:22:58.:23:01.

changed but back club echoed all around the world, people from

:23:02.:23:08.

Brazil, Japan still coming and it is amazing. It changed locations in the

:23:09.:23:14.

1970s. People demonstrated because people were upset. They were and if

:23:15.:23:20.

you watch the film at 7:30pm, Billy Butler explained he was the DJ at

:23:21.:23:28.

the time and T and others talk about barricading themselves up because

:23:29.:23:33.

the bailiffs came to shut it up. It has been reincarnated but it is back

:23:34.:23:39.

on the original site with the original bricks, it moved over the

:23:40.:23:43.

road and then it moved back again. It is still the cavern club in the

:23:44.:23:47.

same place with the original bricks and feeling. I had not realised it

:23:48.:23:53.

moved back. Yeah, it is kind of confusing. It is still on the

:23:54.:23:58.

original site with the same arches and bricks. Interestingly Tony

:23:59.:24:06.

Booth, the artist did that poster and the famous Beatles posters as

:24:07.:24:13.

well. That was his last ever job for your documentary. Yes, it was moving

:24:14.:24:18.

:24:40.:24:43.

involved and we use the phrase all the time, it is about love, baby and

:24:44.:24:49.

everybody loves the cavern club. They feel passionately about it and

:24:50.:24:54.

it is still showcasing new acts, vibrant new acts. You can see great

tribute acts, there are great Beatles tribute acts but they have

Every picture tells a story. Yes, some snow in the forecast through

:25:38.:25:42.

the next couple of days, one weather watcher sent us some snowdrops

:25:43.:25:47.

because wintry weather is on the cards. It will feel cold through

:25:48.:25:54.

this afternoon, here it comes, the air coming towards us from the

more snow than we will but there is a weather warning, the Pennine areas

are bordering onto Eastern England, it is not Merseyside or the Isle of

Man or Cumbria, the closer you are to the Pennines, the more chance of

seeing some snow. The story continues through the night, snow

showers up on the other side of the Pennines. There could be a light

:26:25.:26:28.

dusting on high ground but mostly a cold night, the stars are coming out

:26:29.:26:41.

tonight, the moon, a lot of cloud cover and temperatures not good.

:26:42.:26:54.

This feature first thing, Pennine areas see the worst of it, sunshine

:26:55.:27:00.

anywhere, they could be wintry. Reverting to the wet stuff through

:27:06.:27:09.

the afternoon. It is cold and grey and damp at times. This forecast

:27:10.:27:17.

holds for Saturday and Sunday. More wintry stuff on Saturday night. Do

:27:18.:27:25.

you want to do the twist? Where you to Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

:27:26.:27:33.

The Rolling Stones. I am too young! Sorry, you need to be prompted. Have

a lovely weekend. Goodbye.
