Good evening, the family of a Blackpool couple | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
who were killed by an Islamist gunman whilst on holiday | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
in Tunisia two years ago say they are planning to sue | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
They were speaking at the conclusion of the inquests | :00:19. | :00:27. | |
into the deaths of Denis and Elaine Thwaites | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
two of the 30 Britons who the coronor today ruled | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
were unlawfully killed in a terror attack on a beach. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
This has been a long process, the inquest at the Royal Courts | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
of Justice in London began just over six weeks ago with the coroner | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
ruling that the 38 victims were unlawfully killed in June 2015. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Among those who lost their lives were a Blackpool couple Denis | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
and Elaine Thwaites whose daughter Lindsay has been attending | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
the inquest along with her husband, Danny. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Lindsay was too upset to talk to us on camera but we spoke to Danny | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
who told us about the couple who he regarded as a second | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
They were just genuinely lovely people. | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
They would light up any room they walked in. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Always a good laugh, hearts of gold and dearly loved | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
And really anyone that they ever met. | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
The last 18 months have been horrendous. | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
The Thwaites had lived in Blackpool for 40 years. | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Elaine had been a hairdresser, Denis was a former | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
In retirement, they loved to go on holiday but in June 2015 two days | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
They were shot dead along with 36 other people. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
Islamists gunman Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire as people | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
When people are going on holiday, they should feel safe. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Right now at this moment in time it is, yes, we're | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
We don't think throughout the process that enough has really | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
We have had to push quite a lot to bring evidence | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Today, the coroner described the Tunisian police response | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
as at best shambolic and at worst cowardly. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Olivia from Manchester witnessed the events but ran to safety. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
I don't know what went through their head at the time | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
obviously it is a horrifying situation but that is | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
The families of those killed had wanted coroner to consider | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
whether neglect by the holiday firm or the hotel owners | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
was a factor in their relatives' deaths but he rejected | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
We will now be preparing to commence civil proceedings against TUI. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
The inquests were about those who tragically lost their lives, | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
TUI denies it was neglectful and says insufficient evidence | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
I think travel companies could have done more, | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
when you look at travel advice I give that the customer. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
When you are booking online, there should be more | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
And what you feel now towards the Tunisian police? | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Very angry they couldn't get there quick enough. | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
you are looking at the training they have had. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
The amount of love and support messages we got keeps us going. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Tens of thousands of passengers are set to have their travel plans | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
disrupted as rail workers at two North West rail companies | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Workers at Merseyrail and Northern will walk out in a dispute | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Strike action is planned for the 13th March. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
This row is about driver only trains an issue that's brought misery | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
to passengers in London and the South East for | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Now, in a major escalation of the dispute, members of the RMT | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
rail union have voted overwhelmingly to strike on Northern trains run | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
by Arriva Rail North, and on Merseyrail. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
We have marched and campaigned and to take place on March the 13th. | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
We have marched and campaigned and spoken to MPs but all the good it | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
does. They have not listened. We are the last line of defence. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
We are incredibly disappointed that the RMT have taken | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
We are 12 months away from considering any changes. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
Although they plan to remove safety-trained guards | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
from the trains, both companies say they will still have a ticket | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
collector on many trains to help the public. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
They say the only difference will be that in future the driver will be | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
responsible for opening and closing the doors. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Merseyrail is spending ?460 million on new driver-only trains. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
They'll have CCTV in the driver's cab showing the full | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
length of the train, a sliding safety step | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
They say they won't make anyone redundant and | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
The trains adopt all of the latest technology when it comes | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
to suburban Metro trains and they operate safely. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
The safety regulator has said they are safe as well. | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
That's what we are looking to do on the Merseyrail network. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
It's no different to what happens on the London Underground every day | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and they have been operating without guards for 17 years. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
The fear now for rail passengers is that the dispute could become | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
as long and bitter as the series of strikes which has often paralysed | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Most people are sympathetic but the rail strikes have gone | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
on a long time and the only people suffering are ordinary workers. | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
Everybody is in trouble because they need to get to work. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
My teachers use the train to come to uni. Regular commuters will hope an | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
agreement can be met in the next 13 days. | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
A surgeon from Altrincham has gone on trial accused of causing grievous | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
bodily harm to ten patients by carrying out unnecessary | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
The jury was told that Ian Paterson lied to his patients, | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
exaggerating or inventing the risk of cancer, partly | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
The 59-year-old denies all the charges against him. | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
The trial is expected to last ten weeks. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
A runway at Manchester Airport had to be closed tonight | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
after a suspected car fire in a road tunnel. | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
No-one was hurt but some flights were diverted after the blaze broke | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
out on Wilmslow Road, underneath the airport. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Passengers are being advised to check the status of their flight | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
with their airlines before travelling. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
As Britain gets ready to leave the EU - this week our social | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
affairs correspondent Clare Fallon has been finding out how | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
people across the region feel about the process | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
and what they want from the Brexit deal. | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Last night - we heard from the Eurosceptics in Blackpool, | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Today we're in Liverpool - one of the places where | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
With the first stop on our big Brexit tour ticked off, | :07:04. | :07:19. | |
we have left Blackpool and are heading south. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
Next up is a city where, based on the referendum result, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
they would like to be doing a U-turn right now because 58% | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
of those who voted in Liverpool voted to remain. | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
At this design company in the city centre, they are pretty good | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
at looking into the future when it comes to technology. | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
Brexit is not the future the boss wanted. | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
Our team is 20% international, we've probably got eight or nine | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
people from Europe and our ability to attract and then employ those | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
European members of staff is definitely a concern for me. | :08:00. | :08:22. | |
Younger generation were fearful of what would come if we came out. That | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
is all they have known. Immigration and things like that. The age that | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
would like to sing go and work in the European Union would be quite | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
nice to have that. We have one final Place to stop in Liverpool. Since | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
the referendum, there has been a stampede of Irish Brits applying for | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Irish passports or though even here at the Irish Centre not everyone is | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
on the same song sheet. My husband is Irish and he voted to leave. We | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
had terrible arguments. On the day it happened I would not speak to | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
him! She made the wrong decision but that would be borne out in what | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
happens in the next few years. Right or wrong, like it or not, the | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
destination has been set, the next step will be figuring out the route | :09:24. | :09:24. | |
to Brexit. The next of the tour tomorrow. In | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
the Championship... That is all the news and sport me, | :09:29. | :09:56. | |
now let's look at the weather. Animal snow? A bit overnight over | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
the next couple of days but nothing as drastic as first thing. Mutual | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
logically we turn into sparring but the weather was like winter, a | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
grapeshot in Manchester first thing. -- great shot. Over the next couple | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
of days, the weather fronts and with cold out the recipe for some snow. | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
Lots of the showers have died away and many places are dry. Clearer | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
skies dropping south, not as cold, temperatures two or three or four on | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the coast. Tomorrow, one of the better days of the week. Good spells | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of sunshine. One showers crop up but a good portion of the afternoon will | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
be dry and bright when we kill off the morning showers. Another line of | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
rain works in and there could be some snow in the overnight period. | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
The outlook is more of the same. Good evening. We are about to head | :10:58. | :11:09. | |
into March, the days are getting | :11:10. | :11:10. |
