Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Gordon Burns and | :00:03. | :00:07. | |
Ranvir Singh. Our top story: Investigations are under way after | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
two teenage boys die in separate tragedies. More on both of those | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
stories in a moment. Also in tonight's programme: A vision of | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
the future - Lancashire Cricket Club's multi-million pound | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
regeneration plan gets the final legal go-ahead. Our destiny is to | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
host international cricket for a long time and to have a successful | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
Lancashire County Cricket Club playing in a wonderful stadium. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
Join us as a new car runs off the production line. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
And time-out from the chaos of the concourse. Manchester's rail | :00:51. | :01:01. | |

passengers enter a different world. But what are the listening to? | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Richard is at Old Trafford where they are celebrating news about | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
court decision. At yes, the Court of Appeal has decided that | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Lancashire's multi-million read -- redevelopment can go ahead. It has | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
been controversial and I shall have reaction to -- reaction for you | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
later on. First tonight, two families have | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
been left grieving for their teenage sons in two separate | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
tragedies in the region. Dale Fleckner, who was 16, died last | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
night on a railway line near his home in Wirral. His Merseyside head | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
teacher's described it as "a tragic waste of potential and talent". The | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
teenager was electrocuted on a railway line trying to retrieve a | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
football. Here's our Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill. Tonight, a | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
family and a community united in grief. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
The number of tributes to Dale Fleckner is growing all the time. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Only a few days ago, he was dressed up for his end-of-year school prom. | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
His family say everyone loved him. It has torn us apart. We're | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
absolutely distraught. He was perfect. He was the perfect good | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
boy but with the perfect amount of mischievousness. And they want his | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
death to serve as a warning about railway danger. No matter how many | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
times you ball goes over, do not Transit in the first place. Dale | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
was killed when he went to retrieve a ball from the railway next to the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
sports area locals call The Cage. It is thought he touched the live | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
electric rail. Police say the fence has been raised in the past because | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
people were worried about children getting on the line. But Dale's | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
family say brackets on the fence posts can be used as a ladder. Dale | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
was one of five siblings who went to the same school. We are | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
profoundly shocked. He was a wonderful young man, very popular. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
He had an exciting future ahead of him. He had achieved his | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
mathematics GCSE and was looking forward to a clutch of results this | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
summer. The police investigation into his death is continuing. Andy | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Gill, BBC NorthWest Tonight, Rock Ferry. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Sadly, Dale's family are not alone in mourning the death of a son. 13 | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
year-old Dylan Ramsay died after going for a swim with friends | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
yesterday afternoon. It happened at Hilltop Lane Quarry in Whittle-le- | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Woods. He has been described as funny, special and a talented | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
athlete. His parents say he was loved by all. The 13-year-old from | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Lancashire got into difficulties in the water yesterday afternoon, as | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
Kate Simms reports. Saying goodbye to their son at the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
spot where he died. An afternoon with friends that ended so | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:01. | ||
tragically. He was such a strong- minded little boy. Not so little. | :04:01. | :04:11. | |
:04:11. | :04:14. | ||
He is going to be missed so much. Attempts were made to resuscitate | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:25. | ||
Dylan. He was pronounced dead at the scene. It is fun to kids. This | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
is not fun. This is one of several quarry weeks around Whittle-le- | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Woods. It is surrounded by fences, but one local councillor told me it | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
is impossible to secure sites like this and always has been. This is | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
used quite a lot and has been for many years. It is a large area and | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
there are so many different points have access. You will never stop | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
kids getting in. Today, tributes were left to Dylan, who was a pupil | :04:51. | :05:01. | |
:05:01. | :05:03. | ||
at Parklands High School in Chorley. He was such a lovely lad. He was | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
:05:13. | :05:17. | ||
going to grow into such a lovely man. So many dreams... | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Police in Blackpool are hunting for a man who tried to kidnap a two- | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
year-old girl. It happened last Thursday evening | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
at a house on Erdington Road. A man went into the back garden of where | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
he slashed a trampoline with a knife and then tried to abduct the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
little girl. The chemical company Ineos has been | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
fined �12,000 after a worker was injured at their Runcorn factory. | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
The 58-year-old lost a finger after his gloved right hand got caught in | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
machinery last September. The Health and Safety Executive say the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
company ignored basic safety guidelines when they told him he | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
had to wear gloves to operate the machine. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
The Manchester United and England player Rio Ferdinand began a | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
privacy action in the High Court today. But the public start of the | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
three-day case was immediately delayed by private legal argument | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
over the extent to which it can take place in open court. Ferdinand | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
is suing MGN Ltd over a kiss-and- tell article that appeared in the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Sunday Mirror in April 2010. It began with a surprise ruling by | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
a district judge sitting in Salford. It turned the legal system on its | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
head and caused the police to claim they were now powerless to enforce | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
bail conditions which limit the movements of suspects. It's all to | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
do with the amount of time police have to question those subjects. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
And this afternoon the Government announced it would be rushing | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
through changes to the law to sort things out. Our chief reporter, | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
David Guest, has the details. From the moment someone's arrested, the | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
clock starts ticking. Initially, they can be detained for | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
24 hours before a decision is made on whether to press charges. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Magistrates can extend that to a maximum of 96 hours in cases other | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
than those involving alleged terrorism. But traditionally the | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
police have paused the clock when they let the suspect out on bail | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
pending further inquiries. They have then restarted the clock when | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
they call the suspect back in for further questioning. That could be | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
weeks or even months later. But this man, District Judge Jonathan | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Feinstein, says they shouldn't have been doing that. Sitting in Salford | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
recently, he ruled the time that a suspect had spent on police bail | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
should count towards the overall 96 hours. He was backed by the High | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
Court and turmoil ensued. ruling has created confusion for | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
people on bail. That causes concern to the police themselves. It puts a | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
huge shift in the interpretation of the rules on detention. It means | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
that currently suspects can't be bailed for more than four days | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
before being charged or released. Some say that is good because it | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
stops the police keeping people dangling for months before deciding | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
their fate. But even defence lawyers have their doubts. I do not | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
think it brings any clarity for people on bail. It does not bring | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
any clarity to my clients, certainly. It is very confusing at | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
present and it needs to be resolved. In short, it is all rather a mess. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
That is why the Government this afternoon announced it would be | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
rushing through changes to the law later this week in an attempt to | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
reverse Judge Feinstein's ruling. Watch this space. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
Three years ago, there were doubts that Jaguar Land-Rover would | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
survive the economic crisis. As the world tightened its belt, just to | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
wanted a big, expensive, gas- guzzling car? | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
But today as the first Evoque ran off the production line, ready to | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
be sold in 170 countries, the company's transformation couldn't | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
be more complete. Jayne Barrett was there. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
That is what they call Job One - the very first customer ready car | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
off the production line. Please put your hands together for this | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
beautiful piece of machinery. 17,000 orders already in the bag. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
The man behind the wheel, Jaguar's longest serving member of staff. | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
is a really big thing. Exciting? course. It is the future, isn't it? | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
It's meant to be one for the ladies. The car, that is. To have a broader | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
appeal to women than the Range Rover. It makes Range Rover | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
accessible to a lot of people who may be thought it was a bit too big | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
for them or did not want to try to park it around town. It's green, | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
too, their most fuel-efficient car to date. When Tata bought the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
company, they had to pump �1 billion in to keep it afloat last | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
year they got that back, and more, in profits. It is a huge investment | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
in the local economy. Halewood's recruited 1500 since January and | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
today it's running at capacity. The transformation couldn't be more | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
complete. Jayne Barrett, BBC NorthWest Tonight. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |

On this date 30 years ago, Liverpool was subjected to the most | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
serious rioting witnessed in post- war Britain. The violence was | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
intense and sustained. It lasted for nine days. | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Less than a week later there were riots in Moss Side in Manchester. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
And in July there were further disturbances in another nine towns | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
and cities, including Preston and Blackburn. In a moment, we'll be | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
taking a closer look at what happened. But first our political | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
editor reminds us of what life was like in 1981. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
April 1981 and there is rioting in Brixton in London. Two years into | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
her premiership, Margaret Thatcher appears to be off course. Where | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
we bring truth. The economy was struggling badly. | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
The Lady's not for turning. Unemployment at continued to | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
increase. Nationally it was 10%, in Liverpool it was 20%. Among young | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
black people in talks that it was 60%. There was significant de | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
industrialisation and unemployment. I made a speech in the Commons | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
saying that there was a time bomb ticking away in the heart of the | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
city. There was some very heavy- handed policing as well. Similar | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
friction in certain parts of Manchester. There is no doubt that | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
policing in Moss Side and other parts of the city were racist -- | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
was racist. Black people were stopped and often beaten up in | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
police stations. Ministers decided how to respond. I grew up in the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
30s with an unemployed father. He did not riot, he got on his bike | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
and look for work. Our inner-cities are just a signpost of a journey of | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
despair. There will be no recovery without more resources. Even with | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
Michael Heseltine's support, Liverpool struggled for years to | :12:39. | :12:48. | |

erase the image of Reigate-torn streets. -- riot-torn. Ex-Hollyoaks | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
actress and BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Phina Oruche spent part | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
of her childhood in Toxteth and has now returned to live there. In the | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
first of her special reports, she looks back at what sparked the | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
riots and their impact. The violence was fuelled by | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
frustration and resentment. One man was killed, hundreds of people were | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
arrested, over 450 police officers were injured and many buildings | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
were destroyed. 30 years on, the memories are vivid. They were rough, | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
you know. It was like a war zone. It was not race riots, it was a | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
riot against the system, against the police's attitudes and how they | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
were operating in those days. There was no community policing then, I | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
can tell you. What do you think people were fighting for? Equality, | :13:44. | :13:52. | |
frustration at the authorities, the poverty, lack of any hopes or | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
chances. The general on the handed tactics of the police. You never | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
got a chance so you sold out. out? A play has been written by ex- | :14:06. | :14:16. | |
:14:16. | :14:21. | ||
police officer Dave Potts. Many officers were injured. The force | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
never had a chance to take stock of what happened. Do you think the | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
police were racist? No, I do not think we were then. Society was | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
generally racist and police represent that society. There were | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
expectations have changed, but for some that change has been too slow. | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
Hello. Carmel and I would close teenage friends. A lot of people | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
had to move out because years ago they said they were going to | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
regenerate the street. There is not much of a community left. It was | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
strong here. Am I looking at it through rose-coloured glasses? | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
Everyone has moved out. As African and Karen bit -- Caribbean families | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
:15:20. | :15:25. | ||
moved out, other communities moved in. Syeed is from Somalia. He has | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
hopes for Toxteth and says local schools have improved significantly. | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
:15:41. | :15:43. | ||
This area is now my home. This area has white and black so that we can | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
face the future. Schools in the area may have improved, but this | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
part of Toxteth looks worse than after the riots. For the community | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
here, the pace of regeneration has been far too slow. Phina Oruche, | :15:53. | :16:03. | |

NorthWest Tonight, Liverpool. Tomorrow, she looks at how the | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
community has moved on and what has changed. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Now, with the news that cricket fans all across the north-west have | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
been waiting for, hears Richard Askham with the sport live from Old | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
Trafford. Lancashire described today as a day | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
of destiny. Yes, the �70 million redevelopment of this place has | :16:29. | :16:39. | |
:16:39. | :16:51. | ||
finally been given the go-ahead. There will be new stands, a new | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
pavilion and new dressing rooms. Waggish argued that that is | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
essential if they are to remain as a first class test It has been a | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
long, drawn-out and extremely controversial process. Lancashire | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
were given permission for the plan to transform Old Trafford last year. | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
But then that decision was challenged by Derwent Holdings and | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
the Isle of Man billionaire Albert Gubay, who owns the retail park | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
round the corner. They argued that the plan, which will be partly | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
funded by the building of a new Tesco superstore, should have been | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
blocked. Some resident groups who live locally also wanted it to be | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
thrown out. So they will be extremely disappointed by today's | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
decision. The Court of Appeal judges ruled that the plan can go | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
ahead. The club has a future. Our destiny is to host international | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
cricket and to have a successful county cricket club playing in a | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
good stadium. All of that becomes reality with his decision. Today is | :17:41. | :17:50. | |
a day for celebration. The club insisted that without it they would | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
wither and die as a first-class venue and would no longer be | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
considered for big Test matches. The club aims to start rebuilding | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
in September, the end of the season, and have the new ground ready for | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
the start of the 2013 season and hopefully an Ashes Test here. | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
It was a mixed weekend for the north-west's brightest tennis | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
talent at Wimbledon. Stockport's Liam Broady lost the | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
final of the Boys' Singles in three sets to Australian Luke Saville. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
But the Boys' Doubles event that Broady claimed at the All England | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Club last year was won by an 18- year-old from Bolton. Stuart | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
Pollitt reports. Britain and Bolton has a Wimbledon | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
champion. George Morgan's the name. Today he's preparing for a minor | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
tournament in Ilkley. Yesterday it was Court No. 1. It feels | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
unbelievable, especially after losing the final last year. That | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
helped a lot and gave me experience going into the match today. We did | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
a lap of the court with the trophy at the end. It was unbelievably | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
full -- it was unbelievable. know realistically what is ahead of | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
him. It is tough but he has got to make that break through and get | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
into the top 600. The nation's been waiting 49 years for a Boys' | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
Singles winner. The last was Stanley Matthews Jnr, the son of | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
the Blackpool legend. And for a while it looked like Liam Broady | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
would end that wait. His Aussie opponent battled back to take the | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
title, but the Stockport teenager pushed him all the way. I know what | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
it feels like to lose in the finals now, even though it is the juniors. | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
It gives me motivation. It would be great to come here in the junior | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
event and do well, but I think in the next 12 months he can do well | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
in the Seniors. It is not the biggest match he will ever play in | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
his life. What price a Morgan- Brodie match-up in the Men's | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Singles in the years to come? Stuart Pollitt, BBC NorthWest | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
Tonight. Manchester City have completed the | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
signing of Arsenal's Gael Clichy. The French defender had a medical | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
:20:18. | :20:23. | ||
today ahead of a deal reported to be worth �7 million. | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
The Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle says he does expect more | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
changes to his squad before the start of the season. England | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
defender Gary Cahill returned to training despite increasing | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
speculation over his future, along with Wanderers new signing Darren | :20:35. | :20:43. | |
Pratley. The midfielder agreed a four-year deal at the Reebok | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
following his move from Swansea. The boss says he wants more new | :20:51. | :21:01. | |
:21:01. | :21:05. | ||
faces. Pale Jennings could be on his way. What an impact he made | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
last season. Rover's have an eye -- have accepted an offer from Bayern | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
Munich. That is a future set out for 10. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
The impact that is being felt at Old Trafford is from that decision | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
today. I will leave you with a quote from the Chief Executive. He | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
described it as one of the biggest days in the club's history. From | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
Old Trafford, back to you. You would think that someone who | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
had completed the London to Paris bike ride, climbed Kilimanjaro, run | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
the Paris half-marathon and height nearly 20 kilometres in Patagonia | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
with a broken leg had had enough debentures to last a lifetime. Not | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
Alice Morrison. When she stepped down from being a Chief Executive | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
last year she entered the Tour 'Afrique and roared 500 miles. She | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
was whipped, stoned, held at gunpoint but has survived all but | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
to tell us all about it. You look shocked listening to the list. You | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
were a high-flying Chief Executive, what on earth persuaded you to do | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
this? I love a challenge, and the thought of having four months to | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
cycle across one of the most exciting continents in the world | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
was irresistible. Did you anticipate that you would face | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
elephants and billets? No, I had no idea it would be quite adventure -- | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
quite so adventurous. Something different happened in every country. | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
In Zambia, I heard there was an elephant ahead in the bush. I | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
stopped the bike because I was quite scared of them. I looked | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
across and about ten feet away was an elephant, charging out of the | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
dish with its ears flapping, trumpeting. I had to tum the bike | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
around and cycle. But the elephant did not catch me. It stopped. | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
According to your blog, you were beaten with cattle whips. That was | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
strange. Ethiopia is overpopulated at and people are really poor. It | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
is really primitive. When we were cycling through, hordes of children | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
used to come and throw stones at us. They had whips to her but cattle | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
with and they tried to beat us with them. Was it malicious? It was a | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
bit like when kids pull the legs of spiders. We looked a really odd. It | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
is not really an excuse. I was hit in the face with a rock. It was not | :24:01. | :24:09. | |
a good thing. At no point did you think, "this is not for me."? | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
do not think too far ahead. We could talk for rages, but sadly | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
we do not have that much time. Let us know what you do next. | :24:22. | :24:32. | |

It was a fantastic weekend of weather. He is the forecast. -- | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:45. | ||
It was a gorgeous day to day with temperatures up to 25 Celsius. You | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
will notice the difference tomorrow. Temperatures just about reached 18 | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
:25:00. | :25:12. | ||
or 19 Celsius. Low pressure moves in once again. It will be wetter | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
and cooler for the rest of the week. The cloud increases through the | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
evening. The wind will increase. That will bring the rain in later | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
tomorrow. He has been tutting and sighing | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
here. It ought to be nice for the cricket. A little bit of a | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
conversation on a bus, or a busy pavement, and you wonder what the | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
story was all about. Passengers at Manchester's Piccadilly station or | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
getting a chance to find out, all in the name of art. | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
An award-winning novelist has created a son and Art Experience | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
based on overheard sentences as part of the Manchester | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
:26:04. | :26:04. | ||
International Festival. -- created a sound and Art Experience. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
Busy, crowded and a place we would normally associate with upheaval, | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
but now transformed into a platform for son Bart consumed through these | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
headphones. It is trying to capture that expedience we have of walking | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
past someone, hearing a phrase of their conversation and, without | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
meaning to, you find yourself in Venice -- inventing the rest of the | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
story. You would think they are listening to music, but they are | :26:37. | :26:46. | |
not. After two years of listening to people's private conversations | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
in stations, this woman has created a monologue performed by actors and | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
broadcaster through these headphones. All the people around | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
us look quite calm and happy but there will be all sorts of dramas | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
going on in their lives and there may be dramatic reasons the art | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
here. The Mill beat -- they may be going on holiday or to a funeral. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
thought it was outstanding. It is fascinating because you can always | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
see somebody who fits what you're listening to. I thought what was | :27:18. | :27:24. |
