Whether it's is a constituency MP or in Parliament, fighting

:00:23.:00:27.

George Osborne will tonight face a grilling from his local

:01:03.:01:11.

Police investigating the terrorist outrage in Westminster have arrested

:01:12.:01:16.

two people in Manchester. They are among a number of arrests by

:01:17.:01:21.

detectives trying to establish whether Cally Masood was helped or

:01:22.:01:24.

encouraged by others before its attack on the capital. Our chief

:01:25.:01:29.

reporter is in west Didsbury Waratah starts tonight.

:01:30.:01:35.

That's right, you can see a police car behind me, at present still here

:01:36.:01:39.

at this gated housing department as has been throughout the day this

:01:40.:01:45.

morning. A man of 35 arrested here by detectives investigating the

:01:46.:01:49.

outrage in Westminster. Greater Manchester Police helping a net

:01:50.:01:53.

operating, but it very much being handled by the Metropolitan Police.

:01:54.:01:59.

It wasn't until lunchtime they got confirmation that west Didsbury had

:02:00.:02:03.

been involved in that operation. We heard from a 32-year-old woman who

:02:04.:02:07.

had also been arrested. Quite a day of events in this enquiry.

:02:08.:02:15.

In the aftermath of the outrage, the place very quickly identified the

:02:16.:02:17.

attacker. Now they must identify whether Khalid Masood acted alone or

:02:18.:02:23.

in collision with others. The investigation by the Metropolitan

:02:24.:02:26.

Police has led to a number of arrests in different parts of the

:02:27.:02:28.

country. Yesterday, the concentrated on Birmingham. Today came news that

:02:29.:02:34.

had been arrests close to home, so far as this region is concerned.

:02:35.:02:39.

We have made two significant arrests overnight. One in the West Midlands,

:02:40.:02:43.

one in the North West. We have five addresses that the search is

:02:44.:02:49.

continuing, and six search is concluded.

:02:50.:02:52.

The scene of one of those searchers, this gated housing development in

:02:53.:02:57.

west Manchester. A man of 35 was arrested here in the early hours of

:02:58.:02:59.

the morning. At had no idea what was going on, I

:03:00.:03:03.

didn't see anything and I wasn't told anything either.

:03:04.:03:07.

Would you think of something like this happening around here?

:03:08.:03:13.

Very, very scary. This man was informed by the police.

:03:14.:03:21.

The police have kept us informed as usual.

:03:22.:03:24.

What is your message to the people in the constituency?

:03:25.:03:29.

There is no need for alarm, there is no threat to the local community.

:03:30.:03:34.

During the afternoon, a grey car was taken away.

:03:35.:03:39.

The police maintained a presence here throughout the day, as have the

:03:40.:03:43.

media. In addition to the 35 man arrested here early this morning,

:03:44.:03:47.

the Metropolitan Police now tell us a 32-year-old woman has also been

:03:48.:03:50.

arrested as part of their operation in Manchester today. Meanwhile, in

centre of yesterday's dramatist in hospital. He had a special visitor

:04:04.:04:08.

today in the shape of the Prince of Wales.

:04:09.:04:11.

The students have dealt with this very maturely, supporting each

:04:12.:04:14.

other. I don't think I was be like that at their age, I'm so proud of

:04:15.:04:17.

them. Meanwhile, the investigation into

:04:18.:04:20.

this man, when he did it and if anyone help Tim continues.

:04:21.:04:25.

And greater match the police stressing tonight there is no direct

:04:26.:04:32.

evidence are intelligence to suggest any raised alert level for terrorism

:04:33.:04:36.

here in greater match. They have been assisting the Metropolitan

:04:37.:04:39.

Police in this particular investigation. This is a complex

:04:40.:04:44.

investigation which will go on for some time. People will be arrested

:04:45.:04:48.

and then released without charge, we don't know what the outcome will be

:04:49.:04:51.

or what the placement today when they talked of a significant

:04:52.:04:52.

arrests. George Osborne will tonight face

:04:53.:04:58.

a grilling from his local Conservative Party over his decision

:04:59.:05:01.

to take up a role as editor The former Chancellor last week

:05:02.:05:04.

announced he would work for the Evening Standard

:05:05.:05:07.

alongside his role as Tatton MP. He also has lucrative contracts

Nina Warhurst is outside It's been a week now since that

:05:15.:05:37.

shock announcement. Since then, George Osborne's face questions from

:05:38.:05:41.

Parliament and journalists, but not yet has he had to face the party

:05:42.:05:46.

faithful. The AGM is taking place around a quarter of a mile away from

:05:47.:05:50.

here. You are told not only way we not allowed in, we removed on by

:05:51.:05:55.

police. But he will have to face up to that question tonight, that

Northern Powerhouse! ..George Osborne said there's no

:06:16.:06:18.

hole to dig himself out of. Whether it's as a constituency

MP or in parliament, fighting for the things I care

:06:23.:06:25.

about, or editing the Evening Standard, I'm going to go

on fighting for a prosperous A successful Northern Powerhouse,

a successful London, He's sure he can do it all,

:06:33.:06:35.

but not everyone's convinced. It might not have the same

:06:36.:06:43.

status as the Standard, but the Wilmslow Guardian reflects

:06:44.:06:45.

the opinion of "It's time to vote

:06:46.:06:48.

Labour," shouts Charlotte. "He's not fit to represent

:06:49.:06:55.

me," says Christine. And Alan asks, "Does anyone have

:06:56.:06:57.

Martin Bell's phone number?" Tonight, local Tories like Tony

:06:58.:06:59.

will get to ask more questions, Is he going to continue doing his

:07:00.:07:02.

speeches and America, for instance? And all those questions will be

:07:03.:07:08.

asked, without a doubt. He was the Chancellor

of the Exchequer, we're proud to have had him,

:07:16.:07:23.

and I think he's done We just want to make sure he's

going to be able to keep It would take a lot

for Tatton Tories to fully But when patience is tested,

even the most loyal That's interesting, Tony there was

:07:35.:07:47.

very supportive of George Osborne, thinks he can do it. What are the

:07:48.:07:52.

possible outcomes here? Did they, if they think it's untenable, could

:07:53.:07:58.

they get rid of him? As I understand it, what they could

:07:59.:08:02.

do tonight is raise a motion that would begin the process of

:08:03.:08:06.

deselection, ahead of the next election. But that could be academic

:08:07.:08:11.

anyway, because Tatton as a constituency could disappear under

:08:12.:08:16.

boundary changes. On a separate note, we found that the Committee on

in Lostock Hall yesterday. An 18-year-old woman and two men -

to mark their amazing achievement. Yesterday, just before

:09:38.:09:42.

a special mass at St Hilda's in Tottington to make the awards,

:09:43.:09:44.

I went to meet John and Elanie Carroll and they told me

:09:45.:09:47.

about their extraordinary family. Recognition from the Pope for

:09:48.:09:53.

a lifetime of life-changing work. In over 40 years, John

:09:54.:09:59.

and Elaine Carroll have adopted three children and fostered

:10:00.:10:02.

another 25 more. And I would recommend anybody to do

:10:03.:10:06.

fostering if they could. I'm sorry I'm a bit emotional,

:10:07.:10:20.

but I have missed it. You know, I really,

:10:21.:10:28.

really missed it. Last night, in a private mass

that what happened to It's something that's been, well,

forced on them, if you like. Sheena was first fostered and then

adopted by John and Elaine. She was there to see them

received the papal medal. I just find it completely

amazing, really. And I just think they've

:11:35.:11:37.

done such a good job, I'm very happy that

I've got these parents. An exceptional couple

who so thoroughly deserve A really lovely family and a very

well-deserved award. The wait is over -

for us! Next tonight, the story of a group

of people in Cheshire who took Throughout the 1960s,

many were reluctantly moved into high-rise flats

:12:51.:12:53.

as their old houses were demolished. But when residents of a street

:12:54.:12:56.

in Macclesfield were told to move into tower blocks in 1971,

:12:57.:12:58.

they simply refused. Many of the tower blocks built

when they came through and said The campaign to save their

in the street. The greatest piece of single

advice, I think, is having The biggest challenge

:13:51.:13:53.

was to persuade people to break All their life, they had been

living in houses that were slums. And I was coming in and saying,

:14:07.:14:13.

we can do something about it Rod Hackney showed the houses

:14:14.:14:16.

could be renovated at a third The council wouldn't go for it,

:14:17.:14:21.

so the residents did it themselves. It was all new, and we were

young, fit, so we just It took five years, but the houses

are still there today. And so are some of those who took

:14:47.:14:49.

schemes around the world. I've come down in the morning,

opened the blinds, and there would be people from halfway

and one of our best-known boxers has his sights set on winning

back his world title. Yes, Manchester's Anthony Crolla

goes into the ring tomorrow night against the man

:15:33.:15:37.

who took his lightweight title Anthony, known as "million Dollar",

lost his WBA lightweight crown And if he wins this one,

:15:41.:15:45.

it really will open the doors The pair weighed in this afternoon

:15:46.:15:50.

ahead of their clash at And as I found out,

:15:51.:15:54.

Anthony is desperate For Anthony Crolla, this is a chance

:15:55.:15:57.

to get back to the very top. It's noticeable how

:15:58.:16:13.

relaxed Anthony has been As he told me in his gym,

:16:14.:16:15.

he says he's absolutely determined If I win back the title, it's among

:16:16.:16:22.

the best prices in the sport, against a future Hall of Famer,

it with the rush hour It was, but there's

:17:02.:17:03.

no-one else to blame. But I certainly feel

:17:04.:17:10.

the benefits of not doing that. Anthony never shirks training,

but occasionally, like everyone And as a fanatical

Manchester United fan, Going away with supporters up

buzz than that. And you'll be a celebrity

:17:30.:17:33.

fan, of course. Emotionally, how would you feel

:17:34.:17:35.

if you do win the title back? I'll go absolutely mad,

:17:36.:17:41.

I'll go mad along with that crowd. It does give me goose bumps

:17:42.:17:47.

just thinking about it. Manchester City have been

:17:48.:17:59.

fined ?15,000 by Uefa for a pitch invasion,

taken on it too much. Thank you for that informative,

:22:18.:22:40.

yet entertaining report. You're watching BBC North West

:22:41.:22:42.

Tonight with me, Hacker T Dog. Look it that big red ball, how

:22:43.:22:51.

exciting! That says charity to me! Let's have a look at the fun you've

:22:52.:22:55.

been having across the North West MUSIC: Give Me Your Love

:22:56.:23:03.

by Sigala Yeah, it's a slow news day. Now,

:23:04.:24:34.

over to the weather! I'm all right.

:24:35.:24:40.

Tell us about the rain. There's nine, sunshine all the way.

:24:41.:24:46.

People say you're a lot to handle, but I have worked with Tony lives

:24:47.:24:52.

safer long-time! Good evening to year, beautiful day today, tonnes of

:24:53.:24:56.

sunshine around, and this area of high pressure stays in charge over

:24:57.:25:00.

the next couple of days. Try and find is what we're looking at. No

:25:01.:25:04.

showers at all on the forecast today are likely hey, Diane!

What is the weather like in Wigan?! Where is Wigan the? Where it is.

:25:12.:25:18.

That's wed the budget goes. Has Carol Kirkwood ever done that

:25:19.:25:23.

for you? Think about it. The weather from Wigan and everywhere else, as

:25:24.:25:27.

we go overnight, the blue descends on the map, so it will be cool in

:25:28.:25:33.

places. Temperatures down to perhaps -1, you might get -2 somewhere. The

:25:34.:25:40.

numbers are very towns and cities, so up to three for most of us. The

:25:41.:25:46.

sun is up just before 6am, you get the light from around 5:30am, and

:25:47.:25:51.

sunshine all the way, tonnes of sunshine. The breeze as lights,

:25:52.:25:55.

lighter than today. I know today was better than yesterday, tomorrow will

:25:56.:25:59.

be better than today. The reason is lighter, a better direction, so

:26:00.:26:04.

through the afternoon we will have almost an interrupted sunshine for

:26:05.:26:08.

all of the North West. You never know, we might push to 60 degrees

:26:09.:26:12.

towards the end of the afternoon. Through the evening and into Sunday,

:26:13.:26:20.

not quite as chilly as tonight. And the clocks go forward, Sir that's

:26:21.:26:24.

what we're looking ahead to. On Sunday, the picture is the same.

:26:25.:26:29.

Slightly more cloud cover through the day, but I prefer most places,

:26:30.:26:34.

try and find. Nice amateurs will go for 13 degrees.

:26:35.:26:41.
