Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Gordon Burns and | :00:03. | :00:07. | |
Ranvir Singh. Our top story: Murdered on duty - a colleague is | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
jailed for killing Wigan sailor Ian Molyneux. Ian's wife, Gillian, | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
gives her reaction to today's verdict. I will now try to rebuild | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
my life with my gorgeous children and the eternal memory of Ian, my | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
hero and true love. Also tonight: The North West pays tribute to | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
racing legend Ginger McCain, who has died at the age of 80. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Released on bail - the man arrested on suspicion of murdering an | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
intruder waits to see if he will face criminal charges. And, after | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
spending millions on the team, Manchester City splash the cash on | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
:00:54. | :01:06. | ||
their stars of the future. The widow of Royal Navy officer Ian | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Molyneux made a touching tribute to her husband today as the sailor who | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
murdered him was jailed for at least 25 years. Gillian Molyneux, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
from Standish near Wigan, said the sentence offered no release from | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
the pain of losing her soulmate. Winchester Crown Court was told | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
that Lieutenant Commander Molyneux was the victim of a murderous | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
onslaught by Able Seaman Ryan Donovan. Our reporter, Steve | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:35. | ||
Humphrey, was in court. We heard that Ryan Donovan had gone | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
on duty with the intention of shooting at senior -- senior colics | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
who were going to have been disciplined for wilful disobedience. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
A few days earlier he had refused an instruction to carry out a | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
cleaning task. He shot dead one senior officer and seriously | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
injured another. In court to see Ryan Donovan sentenced was the | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
widow of Lieutenant Commander Ian Donald -- Ian Molyneux. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
The end of a harrowing court hearing for Gillian Molyneux. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Justice for her, her four children and her husband. Nothing can ever | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
replace Ian, my husband and soulmate and the father of our four | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
black beautiful children. -- four beautiful children. To his family | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
in Standish, Ian Molyneux was an utterly devoted husband and father. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
To his naval family, Lieutenant Commander Molyneux was simply known | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
:02:39. | :02:42. | ||
as Molly, a gentle giant, a supreme professional. It is clear that | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Lieutenant Commander Molyneux acted extremely bravely and our thoughts | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
go out to Gillian and the four children. This is the sailor who | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
murdered him - Able Seaman Ryan Samuel Donovan. He fired his weapon | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
six times in the control room of HMS Astute while docked in | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Southampton in April. The court was told: "Lieutenant Commander | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Molyneux reacted to the noise of the shots. As he turned to tackle | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
the defendant he was shot in their head at very close range and died | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
instantly." Hundreds attended his funeral at Sacred Heart Catholic | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Church in Wigan, his eldest sons, Jamie and Aaron, proudly displayed | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
their own military uniforms. Among the mourners, members of the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Shevington Sharks under-12 rugby team whom he coached. Ryan Donovan | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
admitted murdering Lieutenant Commander Molyneux and attempting | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
to kill three other crew members after volunteering for sentry duty | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
while drunk. I will now try to rebuild my life with my gorgeous | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
children and the eternal memory of Ian, My Hero and true love. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Donovan admitted murder and attempting to kill three others. He | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
had volunteered for sentry duty while drunk. Gillian Molyneux's | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
final words today when a message for her children. Your daddy and I | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
love you very much and our future will always be guided by him. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
In his summing up the judge said that the offence had involved | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
premeditation, planning and an outrageous breach of trust. He said | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
there was no evidence that Donovan had been mistreated by the Navy. In | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
sentencing Donovan to life imprisonment, he said that he | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
:04:03. | :04:08. | ||
should serve a minimum of 25 years before he is considered for release. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
The world of horse racing is morning one of its most colourful | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
characters - the trainer Ginger McCain, who died at the age of 80. | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Known as Mr Aintree, Ginger won the Grand National four times. Three of | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
those wins were with the horse who became as famous as his trainer - | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Red Rum. Our Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill, is at Aintree now. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Here is the statue of Red Rum. As you say, he won three Grand | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
:04:39. | :04:42. | ||
Nationals with Ginger McCain in the 70s. This year, his son won the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
National strainer. Ginger McCain had been ill for a little while. He | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
had cancer and died this morning. He would have been 81 on Wednesday. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
He had come a long way since training horses on the beach a few | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
miles up -- a few miles north of here. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Southport Sands in the Seventies - where Ginger McCain trained Red Rum | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
and turned himself from car salesman and taxi driver into | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
champion National Hunt trainer. McCain won three Grand Nationals | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
with Red Rum. At Aintree today they remember a man who helped win back | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
support for the race when its future looked uncertain. Four Grand | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Nationals over 31 years, three associations with Red Rum. It was | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
when the Grand National was at its lowest ebb. If it was not for his | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
support Aintree would not be here today. Fans have been leaving | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
messages of condolence on Aintree's Facebook page. On Twitter, McCain's | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
fellow trainer Paul Nicholls wrote: Sad to hear of death of Ginger | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
McCain. What a legend. He was a man of forceful opinions. Here on | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
whether a woman would ever win the National. No disrespect to her. She | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
is very brave. She has had a youngster and she is not going to | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
get fit by riding in three or four races. He had so much passion for | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
racing and sport and he was a great showman. He knew that, if he said | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
something, no matter how controversial, it would make | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
headlines. Red Rum is buried just by the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
winning post he retained tree, the scene of Ginger McCain's many | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
triumphs. -- here at Aintree. The family say there will be a private | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
funeral followed by a memorial service. Andy Gill, BBC North West | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Tonight, Aintree. Earlier, racing correspondent | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
Cornelius Lysaght shared his memories of Ginger McCain with me. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
I put it to him that he was one of sport's great characters. He was | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
indeed. I think that is an important point to make. It is a | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
great Boyd that has been left in British racing and in British sport | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
generally us up with his huge success around Aintree, Red Rum, Mr | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Aintree as they called him in the 1970s and then returning to the | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
winner's enclosure after 27 years in 2004. He always had a catchy if | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
sometimes not especially politically correct term of phrase. | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
He became instantly recognisable on racecourses and beyond. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Great days with Red Rum - the highlight of his career and always | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
remembered as one of the greatest horses ever. Perhaps the greatest. | :07:30. | :07:40. | |
:07:40. | :07:42. | ||
To go to Aintree on five occasions and competed would be extraordinary. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
To have a six the 10th is absolutely astonishing. Perhaps now, | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
looking back, fitting that his last Grand National, earlier this year, | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
he was celebrating again. It was impossible for him to contain his | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
delight that the horse trained by his son was successful in the race. | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
I think, now we can reflect on it with the news today, that the | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
McCain family bat on had been handed on. What has been the | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
reaction today of the racing world? There is a real feeling that a big | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
void has been left by the departure of this big man. Lots to celebrate | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
- and the victories of Red Rum, the guy a -- the fact that a guy who | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
was a small-time taxi driver could end up as one of the most famous | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
horse racing people in Great Britain. Perhaps another fence | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
could become the Ginger fence, one of the ways that British racing is | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
thinking of paying tribute to him. That would be a great way to | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
remember him. Thank you very much. More news from around the region | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
now. A man has appeared in court to deny murdering a high-flying | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
solicitor. 45-year-old Linda Bakewell's body was found naked and | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
bruised in the boot of the accused man's car days after she was last | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
seen alive. Reports from Somalia suggest Judith | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Tebbutt, who was kidnapped from a Kenyan holiday resort, is being | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
held for ransom by pirates. Mrs Tebbutt, who is originally from | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Ulverston, was taken from a beach resort by armed men who killed her | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
husband. The man arrested for apparently | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
stabbing an intruder at his home has been released on bail. Vincent | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Cooke may now have to wait several weeks to find out whether he will | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
:09:40. | :09:46. | ||
face criminal charges. Protect my property?" Vincent Cooke's smart | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
detached home remained sealed off by police throughout the day as | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
forensic teams came and went. Mr Cooke, a 39 year-old father of one, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
was arrested on Saturday after an apparent intruder died of stab | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
wounds on his doorstep. It is believed Mr Cooke had been | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
confronted by two armed men and a scuffle developed. I was very | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
shocked to hear it because it is a very quiet road and nothing like | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
this happens down here. Raymond Jacob suffered fatal stab wounds. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Vincent Cooke was released on police bail today pending further | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
inquiries. He will have to answer that bail on October 17th when | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
perhaps he will discover if he is to face criminal charges. This is | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
not the first case of its kind in recent times. In fact, there have | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:39. | ||
been three such cases in the past four months in Greater Manchester. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
In July Cecil Coley was arrested after an intruder was stabbed to | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
death at the florist shop where he worked in Trafford. The 72-year-old | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
was later told he would face no charges. Hannah Quirk lectures in | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
law at Manchester University and says people have a legal right to | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
use reasonable force to protect themselves. Obviously, in a | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
situation like this, somebody has died so the police will investigate | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
quite carefully to decide what happened. They will listen to the | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
account of the person who has been arrested as well and look at the | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
facts of the situation. Police are still establishing the facts of | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:24. | ||
exactly what happened here. A man has died and four others, | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
including a four-year-old boy, are critically injured after a fire at | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
a house in Altrincham. Police and firefighters are trying to work out | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
how the fire on Barlow Road started in the early hours of this morning. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Kate Simms reports. Forensic officers scour the wreckage of this | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
family home looking for clues as to what caused the fire which broke | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
out just before five this morning. Neighbour Kevin Pearce helped the | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
woman who lives here get out through a front window. It is | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
something like the special effects of a film. I would not want to see | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
it again. Two teenagers had already escaped and firefighters later | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
rescued a young boy. But one man, named locally as David, was | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
pronounced dead at the scene. could have got an end, David... | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
Maybe those couple of minutes, if I could have got in David out. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
man who died is thought to be the partner of the woman who lived here. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Tonight she is in hospital along with a three children, the luck -- | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
the youngest of whom is thought to be just four years old. All four | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
are described as being in a critical condition. Meanwhile, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Greater Manchester Police and Fire Service have launched a joint | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
investigation. They want to know how the fire got out of control so | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
fast. There are smoke alarms fitted in these houses, which means that | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
the family should have had early warning of when the fire started. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
If they did and then subsequently still could not get out without | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
:12:55. | :13:05. | ||
being injured, we would want to know why. For two years, cameras | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
followed Alia, who had been forced into a marriage in Pakistan. She | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
had to deal with enormous pressure from her family but was helped by a | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
specialist police unit in Lancashire. In a moment we will be | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
speaking to Sergeant John Rigby from Lancashire Police, but first | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
let's take a look at her story. Police in Britain have set up a | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
network of specialist units to help the increasing numbers of forced | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
marriage victims. This unit in Blackburn is one of three in the | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Lancashire area. This 18-year-old local girl has come into the | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
station in a distressed state. It seems that, a year ago, the girl | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
was taken by her father to Pakistan and forced to marriage a cousin | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
twice a rage. Alia believes that the only reason she was allowed | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
back to England was that she was pregnant. Recently they have packed | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
up my stuff. My mum was going out and buying clothes that were two | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
years old before my son saying that you are going to Pakistan. When I | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
saw the ticket and they were one way, I panicked. Are you are | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
absolute laid definite Lee sure that you want to make a clean | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
break? I do not have a future of my own. My son deserves better than | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
that. I think I had to grow up quite quickly. Those teenage years | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
that you have, I missed out on them. If you cannot see no other way out, | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
what are you supposed to do? You can find out what happens to Alia | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
in 'My Forced Unwanted Wedding' on BBC Three at 9 o'clock tonight. I | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
am joined now by Sergeant John Rigby from Lancashire Police's | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Community Cohesion Unit. Why did you want the cameras in? | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
has gone on for so long and here we had the opportunity for the BBC to | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
tell the story as it is and get it out to the wider audience. Why is | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
that important to the job but you do? More often than not these | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
victims are from different ethnic backgrounds but you have a wider | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
audience out there in the community who do not know what to look out | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
for. By telling this story, it is letting them become more informed. | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
So teachers, doctors, who never that this person has contact with | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
outside of the family? Absolutely. How prolific is it in our area? | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
Nationally, the figures tell us that 8,000 to 10,000 victims a year | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
of forced marriages. In Lancashire we get between four and five | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
referrals a week. That is a lot. That is 250 to 300 incidents a year | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
to deal with. How do you get over the cultural divide? There is a | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
case of being a bit politically correct about these things at times. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
The cultural divide does not exist. I have done it for a number of | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
years, worked within the Asian community in Blackburn. They know | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
me as a recognised face. I have Asian officers on my team so the | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
language skills are there. The whole team I work with his | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
privileged to be with them -- it is a privilege to be with them. The | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
work they do is superb. I am sorry we have so little time but I am | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
:16:26. | :16:28. | ||
grateful for your coming in. Well, it's time for sport now with | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
Richard Askam, and there's a chink of light between the top two clubs | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
in the Premier League at last, Richard. Yes, all because of two | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
games yesterday which finally split Manchester United and Manchester | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
City. More on the Blues in a moment, but United now have a two-point | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
cushion at the top after a 3-1 win at home to Chelsea yesterday. The | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
damage was all done in the first half of a match chock full of | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
chances, but United took most of theirs and went in at the break | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
three up thanks to Phil Jones, Nani and Wayne Rooney. Rooney even | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
missed a penalty and Chelsea were also wasteful as it ended 3-1. Well, | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
you used the word wasteful and despite the result, the main | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
talking point from that game concerns former Liverpool striker | :17:10. | :17:19. | |
Fernando Torres. Well, for all the goals he's scored | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
in his career, there are probably none that will be remembered as | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
much as his miss yesterday. He'd done the hard work, controlling the | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
ball and rounding David De Gea And just to make matters worse, it | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
was in front of The Stretford End. So that's one reason United are top. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
The other reason concerns City who let two points slip at Fulham. Two | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
goals from Sergio Aguero had them in control at Craven Cottage but | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :18:04. | ||
second-half goals from Zamora and Murphy cost City those vital points. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
City have outlined plans for a new academy, training complex and | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
training facility a stone's throw from their main stadium, costing | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
more than �100 million. City have cast their net across the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
globe, assembling a team with some of the world's biggest stars, but | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
they are now looking to think big closer to one. These are the first | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
pictures of their new training complex. It includes a 7,000 | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
capacity arena for Youth Games. terms of developing players, it is | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
one thing having a great facility, it is another thing making sure | :18:45. | :18:55. | |
:18:55. | :18:56. | ||
that the ability of those players is realised. To emphasise the point, | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
City took some of their players on to the ground where the new complex | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
will be. For me, coming from the academy, to see someone coming | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
through, it is just amazing. City have a long tradition to build on. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Countless players from their academy have made it as | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
professionals, including Jamie Hoyland, now Youth Training coach | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
at each -- a Preston North End. There were numerous players who | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :19:40. | ||
came through. The list is endless. That tradition that City will aim | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
to build on with a facility that will make players capable of mixing | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :19:55. | ||
it with Europe's elite. Just days after meeting with | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
referees' chief Mike Riley, Kenny Dalglish saw two of his Liverpool | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
players sent off in a 4-0 defeat at Spurs. Charlie adamant Martin | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
Skrtel were the Reds who saw red, but the boss wouldn't blame the | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
defeat on having nine men. He says there was room for improvement | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
across the entire 90 minutes. Well it was a pretty successful weekend | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
for our League One and Two sides with a couple of notable away wins. | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
:20:23. | :20:25. | ||
With the pick of the action, here's Howard Booth. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Preston went ahead early through Neil Miller, who would later score | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
Neil Miller, who would later score his fifth in the campaign. Not to | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
:20:45. | :21:12. | ||
be outdone, although more also 3-1 an hour. The top of League Two | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
looks lovely for Morecambe who lead the way after a 2-1 victory over | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Dagenham and Redbridge. Danny Carlton did it again, scoring a | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
sixth of the season before Stewart Drummond doubled their advantage | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
early in the second half. They started the season with five | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
defeats but Crewe are back on the rails and made it four wins out of | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
five at the expense of Accrington. Stanley made it hard for themselves, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
conceding twice within the first 14 minutes. AJ Leitch Smith and Byron | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Moore for Alex. Finally, a first win in four for Macclesfield who | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
were inspired by former non-league striker Ben Tomlinson. The ex- | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Worksop man scored twice against Northampton and set up Colin Daniel | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:01. | ||
for the Silkmen's third in a 3-1 Sale Sharks are up and running in | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
Rugby Union's Aviva Premiership, they won 29-18 at London Wasps | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
yesterday. And in Super League, Saint Helens are just one game away | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
from the Grand Final after upsetting Wigan 26-18. Tries from | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
Paul Wellens and this one from points, but two scores inside ten | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
minutes - including Wellens' second - sealed the win for Saints who | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
join Warrington in the semi finals. Wigan know they need a win against | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
Catalan Dragons to join Saints and That match is at five o'clock next | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
:22:40. | :22:41. | ||
Sunday. Coverage as always on BBC Radio Manchester. | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
:22:51. | :22:51. | ||
There is good reason for optimism. Tomorrow will be OK and so will | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow will mostly be dry and it should be | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
fairly bright. The best part of today was probably this morning, | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
with a decent spells of sunshine around. Temperatures got up to | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
around 17 Celsius. There was a little rain that pushed its way | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
:23:22. | :23:26. | ||
through. The picture changes tonight. It looks rather dark in | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:37. | ||
Manchester at the moment! That is not reality. There could be up to | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
30 mm of rain higher ground -- on higher ground in Lancashire. | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Because the rain still lingers in the south, it means that the Isle | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
of Man, Lancashire and Cumbria will see the best of the start to the | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
day. When the rain clears in the morning, and it should be gone from | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
most places by 9pm at the latest, it really is not a bad day. You can | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
see the cloud cover trying to thin and break. It will not be wall-to- | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
wall sunshine but it is a better looking day than today. Top | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
temperature will be around 16 Celsius. Wednesday does not look | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
brilliant, it has to be said. After that, Thursday and Friday do not | :24:30. | :24:40. | |

Behind every sporting success, there are men and women who give | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
their time to develop others. These unsung heroes don't often get the | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
recognition they deserve but the BBC's giving you the chance to | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
change that. We'll tell you how in a moment. But today last year's | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
winner met one of our sporting greats and Stuart Flinders was | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
there. Encouraging them, guiding them, sometimes giving them a | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
talking to. John Jacobson's been involved in handball in Liverpool | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
for decades. BBC Sports Personality of the Year is Ryan Giggs. He'll | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
never achieve the status of a Ryan Giggs. But thanks to last year's | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
Sports Personality of the Year Awards he's an official unsung hero. | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
Today, at MediaCity in Salford, he met one of sport's greatest heroes. | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
How did you feel when you were given the support? How little bit | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
embarrassed at first because I have always done the sport because I | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
love it. I have loved everything that I have done. I have had a | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
fantastic life. To be recognised for it was really overwhelming. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
new sport that John is talking about is one of many that have kept | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
people off the streets, literally kept him off the streets. Is that | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
an important thing? I have one lad who is 21 now who said to me that, | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
without doubt, if he had not joined the team he would have fallen by | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
the wayside and got into trouble. The two met at a BBC promotion for | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
this year's sports awards. Sport is one of the big BBC | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
departments moving north. Today they have announced that this | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
year's Sports Personality of the Year Award will be coming from here, | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
too. Nominations are being sought for this year's Unsung Hero award. | :26:29. | :26:33. | |

We just heard from Richard that he had an incident with a view at the | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
weekend but he has not told us. was a couple of weekends ago. I was | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
walking the dog and somebody said to me, you are thing in a jug, | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
