The headlines this Tuesday lunchtime. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
What today's Brexit ruling means for us - | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
and why one MP wants another public vote. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Record sales for Cheshire car maker Bentley - | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
with ambitious future expansion plans in Crewe. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The amateur referee calling for a football boycott - | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
in response to the abuse they receive. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
As we've been hearing on the national news - | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
the Government has been told it must get the approval of Parliament - | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
before triggering the process for Britain to leave | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
It might delay the timetable set out by the Prime Minister - | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
who wants to trigger Article 50 before the end of March. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
But the region's Liberal Democrat MPs say they'll | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
only support Brexit - if the public gets a final vote | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
John Pugh is the Lib Dem MP for Southport. | :01:02. | :01:13. | |
Thank you very much indeed for your time this lunchtime. Given that the | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
Brexit vote was clear, people want out, are you not frustrating the | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
will of the electorate by Askin for another vote? The public should have | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
the last say on any Brexit deal. If at the end of the day the public are | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
guaranteed the final say to see what they have at the end of the day is | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
what they have voted for. Given the passions evoked before the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
referendum, are you concerned that if people feel they're clearly | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
stated intention to leave is being subverted, we could see protests, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
who knows what? People have a right to see the mandate carried through. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
They also have a final say and to see what they have at the end of the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
process is what they voted at the strip part of the process. The Prime | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Minister will not give them what they want at all, and they should | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
have the final say. What you think she give them? She will give them | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
all of the stuff that is wonderful and none of the downside, all take | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
the world in six months' time. We the world in six months' time. We | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
will be facing some economic chaos in this country. In fairness, it was | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
the unknown when we voted last June. It is still the unknown. Many people | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
who voted for Brexit will see they just want out. That is a rather | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
strange view. Regardless of what the circumstances are, you will go out. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
If you do nothing about immigration, appalling trading negotiations, you | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
want out. People want to have a say. Is there much support for the Lib | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
Dems position here. You do not have that many MPs to carry that will | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
alone. The country has voted to depart and they haven't decided what | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
destination they want to get to. We have decided we want to be normally | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
or Sweden or like the other countries in the EU or come out of | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
the loop altogether. Is not a danger we have trickled Article 50, we are | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
committed to go through with it. -- guard. People need to take a deep | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
breath and give themselves time to think. The public need time to think | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
as well as the politicians. -- triggered. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
The Manx Parliament is hearing calls for a change in the Isle of Man's | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Fewer than ten terminations are carried out on the island each | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
year - because of strict criteria women have to meet. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
A former GP on the island will ask the House of Keys to consider | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
bringing the rules in line with England, Scotland and Wales. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
A man's been arrested after an alleged rape in a churchyard | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
A woman reported being attacked outside a church on High street | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
A 20-year-old man is being held for questioning. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Tributes have been paid to a promising young | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
cyclist from High Peak - who died in his sleep on Friday. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
15-year-old Charlie Craig from Hayfield was an apprentice | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey has described his | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
One of the region's most prestigious manufacturers has reported | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Bentley, in Crewe, sold more than 11,000 cars last year. | :04:42. | :04:58. | |
It's taking on more apprentices which - it says - | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Here's our Cheshire reporter Mark Edwardson. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Yes, welcome to Bentley's factory here at Pimms Lane, in Crewe. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
And some great news for Bentley, record sales figures for one | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
of our most important manufacturers in the north-west. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
As you can see, some of the staff hard at work there, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
But behind us we can see cars coming off the production line as well. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
With me is Michael who is from the company | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
to tell us about what has been happening. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
2016 was a fantastic year, another record year, | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Probably even more important it was the fourth successive year | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
So we're really proud of our workforce and what | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
One of the biggest things for us is having the right products | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
Over 85% of our cars are exported overseas. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
We launched the new SUV last year which has been a huge sales success. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
So whereabouts have the sales been, in the UK, in Europe | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
Where are quite fortunate in that we can split our | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
We've got the Americas, we've got Europe, including Britain of course, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
And what we have got is we have a third split globally. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
We've seen some markets have deteriorated but have come back | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
with some strong market performance, like Europe. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
What of the future, Michael, briefly, how is going to go | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
The most important thing is not to sit back on our laurels. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
We're looking at growth in terms of product, | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
in terms of people and skill development also we're looking | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
at how we can develop our site, so together | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
with Cheshire East Council, we're looking at what we can do | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
in terms of a development plan for the area. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
Michael, thank you for joining us this lunchtime. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
And there will be more on this on BBC North West tonight | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
He's been punched, head-butted and spat at. | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
Just three examples of the abuse an amateur football referee | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
from Manchester has suffered on the pitch. | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
Now Ryan Hampson says grassroots referees should go on strike. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Another football match refereed by Ryan Hampson. | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
I've had experiences such as being head-butted by a player. | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
I've been spat at and I've been punched on numerous occasions | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
If you are on the streets, and you get assaulted, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Yet as soon as you get on them pitches over there, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Ryan says amateur referees are getting enough support. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
He's calling for a national strike on the first weekend of March. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
He says over 800 refs have been in touch backing his idea. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
There's always been abuse towards referees. | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
It's kind of a blame culture, blaming the reference | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
the first, before you think about it yourself. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Manchester FA, which oversees this week, has just announced that it | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
will give refs more support, visiting them within 24 hours of any | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
incident and ensuring any assaults are reported to police. | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
We fully support the referees and if a player's abusing | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
referees on a regular basis, we will get rid of them. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Most of these problems are caused by a minority of people, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
And I'm sure, given another couple of years, we will stop this. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
For Ryan Hampson though, a referee strike is the only way | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Here's the weather with Charlie Slater. | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
Quite a cloudy afternoon in store as well, still a little bit | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
of brightness about in parts of the north-west as we go | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
through the next few hours, but generally clouding over | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
As we go through this evening as well, temperatures meanwhile | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
getting to around seven, maybe even a degree Celsius, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
possibly nine on the Isle of Man, so fairly decent for the time | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
of year, but it will be quite breezy overnight tonight and into the early | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
hours of Wednesday morning, a couple of showers possibly. | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
But in the main, a dry and clear night, temperatures falling away | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
And then on Wednesday daytime, a good deal of dry, | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
fine weather around, and some sunshine mixed | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
up in there with some cloud as well, of course. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
But the temperature is doing OK, seven or 8 degrees Celsius, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
feeling a touch colder though because of that breeze, | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
stirring the air around, of course the wind-chill factor, | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
Enjoy whatever you have planned during the course of the afternoon. | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
Joiners again at | :09:31. | :09:35. |
