:00:05. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story. Killed by
:00:08. > :00:12.their own son. This couple died at his hands eight days after he
:00:13. > :00:17.should have taken medicine for mental problems. We will be live
:00:17. > :00:21.from the Coroner's Court where an inquest is being held. Also tonight.
:00:21. > :00:26.Paramedics on the pitch. Stan's match is abandoned after a player
:00:26. > :00:31.is knocked unconscious for half an hour. Can't see the signs for the
:00:31. > :00:36.trees. A driving instructor is warning about foliage on our road
:00:36. > :00:40.sides. And preserve it for the world. Campaigners want to protect
:00:40. > :00:50.Preston's much mall lined bus station from demolition, but should

:00:56. > :01:00.He was mentally ill with a history of drink and drug abuse. Yet he
:01:00. > :01:04.often took his medication late. And in March 2008, eight days after he
:01:04. > :01:07.should have taken his medicine, Alan Scott killed his parents. But
:01:07. > :01:11.today, an inquest heard although there were fail information the
:01:11. > :01:17.care he received it did not contribute to the killings of his
:01:17. > :01:23.parents. Our reporter was in court today and joins u now. Tell us what
:01:23. > :01:28.happened in this terrible case. was tragic. Alan and Stella Scott
:01:28. > :01:33.stabbed to death at their home in aler on the in Liverpool. Their
:01:33. > :01:36.killer was mare son. He had been mentally ill since 1994 and had
:01:36. > :01:41.drink and drug problems. He admitted the manslaughter of his
:01:41. > :01:46.parents and he is detained under the eMental Health Act. What were
:01:46. > :01:50.the fail information his care that were brought up? As you said
:01:50. > :01:53.earlier he was eight days late for his injection, that wasn't the
:01:53. > :01:57.first time he had been late but on previous occasions there had not
:01:57. > :02:02.been a problem. He remained mentally stable. An independent
:02:02. > :02:05.review found other fail information the care given to him by the NHS
:02:05. > :02:08.trust. The doe sadge was reduced accidentally by half two years
:02:08. > :02:12.before the killing. He hadn't seen a psychiatrist for three years
:02:12. > :02:14.before the killing and the trust failed to engage properly with his
:02:14. > :02:21.family. Nevertheless the independent review said the
:02:21. > :02:26.violence was not foreseeable and was probably not preventable.
:02:27. > :02:31.us the verdict finally. Well, the Liverpool coroner recorded verdicts
:02:31. > :02:35.on both alland and Stella Scott of unlawful killing. He made the point
:02:35. > :02:41.although there had been deficiencys in the care Alan Scott received,
:02:41. > :02:51.there was no direct causal link between those deficiencies and the
:02:51. > :02:56.tragic events of April 2000. That is something Mr and Mrs Scott's
:02:57. > :03:01.daughters disagree with. We We will always believe the lack of Alan's
:03:01. > :03:04.care and treatment, and the lowering of his medication for the
:03:04. > :03:09.last two years, we will always believe that did contribute to my
:03:09. > :03:12.mum and dad's deaths. Now, although they are disappointed with the
:03:13. > :03:16.verdict, the Scott family say they are not planning to take this any
:03:16. > :03:20.further they are not planning any further legal action. They will try
:03:20. > :03:26.and get on with their lives. The NHS trust told the inquest they
:03:26. > :03:28.have strengthened their procedures, to deal with people who are on
:03:28. > :03:36.anti-psychotic drugs in an effort to make sure this kind of thing
:03:36. > :03:40.doesn't happen again. Thank you. The Cammell Laird shipyard has been
:03:40. > :03:44.long been known as one of the most famous shipbuilders but now they
:03:44. > :03:51.are changing tack. Instead of making battleships it is moving
:03:51. > :03:56.into wind farms. Today it announced it has its foot in the door on a 25
:03:56. > :04:01.year scheme in the Irish Sea that could be worth up to �2 billion and
:04:01. > :04:05.provide new jobs. In is a section of one of the Royal Navy's force
:04:05. > :04:10.coming Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier ch Cammell Laird
:04:10. > :04:15.wants to supply the firm RWE NPower with the basis for offshore wind
:04:15. > :04:18.turbines like these. They say lessons learns can be applied
:04:18. > :04:23.directly to the huge wind farm project off the north Wales coast
:04:23. > :04:26.which will be one of the world's biggest. We have a fantastic
:04:26. > :04:30.location. The investment and infrastructure we currently have
:04:30. > :04:34.taking place today, and the abundance and wealth of skills and
:04:34. > :04:39.knowledge we have, we believe we will be very well placed to win a
:04:39. > :04:43.good proportion of those contracts. Compared to test mated total cost
:04:43. > :04:48.of the project of �2 billion Cammell Laird's share is about �5
:04:48. > :04:52.million which is modest. The company sighs it a a jumping off
:04:52. > :04:56.point. The question is how to get bigger and bigger slices of the I
:04:56. > :05:00.cake Us being here with this project is a fantastic opportunity
:05:00. > :05:05.to showcase what they can can do to the industry, and that is how you
:05:05. > :05:08.go from this project on to the next. To start with, Cammell Laird will
:05:08. > :05:13.provide equipment will that help lash large pieces of machinery to
:05:13. > :05:17.the dex of ships working on the project. So it is early dayss, but
:05:17. > :05:20.nonetheless it is vital for the firm and Merseyside in general.
:05:20. > :05:24.have been working with Cammell Laird and others over the last few
:05:24. > :05:27.years to promote the assets we have for offshore wind development. This
:05:28. > :05:32.contract is a really significant development. Not just for claird
:05:32. > :05:35.but the region. There have been many times in the firm's history
:05:35. > :05:41.when it appeared the bulldozers were waiting at the gates, but
:05:41. > :05:46.Cammell Laird says with a fair wind the project could create 2,000 jobs
:05:46. > :05:51.in Merseyside by 2020. More news from round the north-west and a
:05:51. > :05:56.killer who went on the run at the age of 15 after shooting dead a
:05:56. > :06:01.schoolboy today admitted the murder. For two years he remained at large
:06:01. > :06:06.until he was arrested in Amsterdam earlier this year. In an earth to
:06:06. > :06:12.catch him the police beamed huge images of him on to a big screen in
:06:12. > :06:16.the city and offered a reward. Today he admitted the murder of a
:06:16. > :06:21.16-year-old outside the Robin Hood pub in 2009. A serious case review
:06:21. > :06:24.has been launched into the murder of a baby in Preston last month. It
:06:24. > :06:28.is believed six month old Ollie McBride was suffocated by his
:06:28. > :06:32.father who took his own life. The review isn't intended to apportion
:06:32. > :06:36.blame but is to suggest improvements. The Manchester United
:06:36. > :06:39.footballer Tom Cleverley has won a libel case against the Sun. It
:06:39. > :06:43.falsely claimed that he had badgered a girl for sex after
:06:43. > :06:47.meeting her in a Blackpool nightclub. The high court heard the
:06:47. > :06:53.22-year-old midfielder had never met the woman but was impersonated
:06:53. > :06:56.by another individual who had pest tered her. He was awarded
:06:56. > :07:00.substantial damages. Medals and memorabilia belonging to Tony Dunne
:07:00. > :07:06.who was a member of Sir Matt Busby side of the 60s have gone under the
:07:06. > :07:10.hammer today in Chester. In his 530 appearance for the club he helped
:07:10. > :07:13.Uniteded to win two titles and the European Cup. He decided to auction
:07:13. > :07:19.the memorabilia which fetched thousands today, to benefit his
:07:19. > :07:24.family. His daughter says it was a difficult decision. Very mixed.
:07:24. > :07:29.Some days he says yes, he wants to do it. He feels his memories he can
:07:29. > :07:35.take with him. He feels by doing what he is doing he can give his
:07:36. > :07:39.family that bit more, now he is 70, he can share it with him. It has
:07:39. > :07:44.been the best news for 16 supermarket workers from greater
:07:44. > :07:48.match who are celebrating after winning almost �7 million on the
:07:48. > :07:52.National Lottery. The staff at ASDA in Hyde will share the roll over
:07:52. > :08:00.draw. Each of the group, which is made up of check out and customer
:08:00. > :08:05.services staff will collect more than �4 30,000. I hope they paid
:08:05. > :08:07.for that champagne! There could be a few jobs going at ASDA! They are
:08:07. > :08:09.packing jai the stage tat Conservative Party Conference in
:08:09. > :08:13.Manchester this evening. David Cameron ended the four day
:08:13. > :08:17.gathering by warning of a threat of another recession. The Prime
:08:17. > :08:21.Minister insisted that the plan to cut the deficit had to remain in
:08:21. > :08:29.place, our political editor joins us from inside the centre. So the
:08:29. > :08:32.talking stops for now. Is that the end of it? Well, it is for now. Yes.
:08:32. > :08:36.I mean you know how much effort they put into getting the
:08:36. > :08:42.conferences right. Making the set look right. The design work for the
:08:42. > :08:46.television. Look at it now. All being pulled apart behind us, so
:08:46. > :08:49.quickly it disappeared. David Cameron came on stage this evening,
:08:49. > :08:54.this afternoon, made a serious speech reflecting I think the
:08:54. > :08:58.seriousness of the economy, but I wonder if he remembers his trip to
:08:58. > :09:03.Wythenshawe just a few years ago. It was at the time of his hug a
:09:03. > :09:09.hoodie speech, and one 17-year-old came up behind him, pulled a gun
:09:09. > :09:14.gesture behind his head, it got into all the tabloid newspapers, at
:09:14. > :09:18.the time. Today, Mr Cameron, on the stage behind me, said that things
:09:18. > :09:23.improved dramatically in Wythenshawe. Go the Wythenshawe, a
:09:23. > :09:26.few miles from here. It used to be ravaged by crime and drugs and
:09:26. > :09:29.graffiti. But local people, they opened a community hall, they
:09:29. > :09:34.opened a gym they got the kids off the streets. They cleaned up the
:09:34. > :09:38.graffiti. They kicked out the drug habit and the dealers, of course
:09:38. > :09:44.Government can't legislate for this. But we can support the leadership
:09:44. > :09:49.that makes it happen. Mr One of the other keynote speechs came from the
:09:49. > :09:52.Defence Secretary Liam Fox but he made no mention of the job losses
:09:52. > :09:59.at BAE Systems in Lancashire. To the disappointment of many I am
:09:59. > :10:04.sure. Was it a surprise do you think? Well as you say it was a
:10:04. > :10:08.disappointment for those workers who had come down to visit him, a
:10:08. > :10:12.sense I suppose what could Liam Fox say? It wasn't as if there is
:10:12. > :10:15.suddenly money in the defence budget to fund more projects, which
:10:15. > :10:19.is what they would like. Nevertheless they wanted that
:10:19. > :10:25.chance to meet him. Obviously very disappointed. You know, we want to
:10:25. > :10:30.see someone like Liam Fox and hopefully he will be able to give
:10:30. > :10:36.us some answers. I think he could have met with us to discuss what,
:10:36. > :10:40.to discuss all the cuts we are facing. Well the real announcement
:10:40. > :10:44.was made on Sunday when they talked about the new enterprise zone for
:10:44. > :10:47.Lancashire but it is revealed the Prime Minister has been talking
:10:47. > :10:50.talks with some Lancashire MPs about the problem. I had a meeting
:10:51. > :10:54.with the Prime Minister on Tuesday, along with my colleague, and we
:10:54. > :10:59.really laid out in front of the Prime Minister some of the things
:10:59. > :11:02.that the workers at Warton are concerned about. So we did talk
:11:02. > :11:06.about typhoon, we got commitment from the Prime Minister that
:11:07. > :11:11.everything will be done to drive typhoon exports. So it is the end
:11:11. > :11:15.of the conference season. What is your assessment of the way they
:11:15. > :11:20.went? Well, Roger, everything now hinges on the economy. Who has got
:11:20. > :11:25.the right plan, is it a plan to cut the deficit? And balance the books?
:11:25. > :11:29.Or is it the plan to spend a bit more and get the economy moving? It
:11:29. > :11:33.was interesting last night, one Conservative in Manchester said to
:11:33. > :11:37.me, the worst things get, the more we believe we are right. If you
:11:37. > :11:45.look at Greece then actually they believe you have to keep cutting,
:11:45. > :11:50.no matter how difficult that is. Thank you. Still to come in North
:11:50. > :11:55.West Tonight. The science of swimming. The length he is going to
:11:55. > :12:04.cut times for the Olympic. And love it or loathe it is Preston's bus
:12:04. > :12:08.station an eyesore or should it be preserved as an architectural gem?
:12:08. > :12:11.Now, I can just about remember learning how to drive is stressful
:12:11. > :12:16.enough when you know where you are supposed to be going, but it is a
:12:16. > :12:20.lot harder if you don't. A driving instructor has been driven round
:12:20. > :12:27.the bend by street signs obscured by trees so he has picked up his
:12:27. > :12:31.keys and cam rand decided to take action. A bus lane sign on the A6.
:12:31. > :12:36.A stop sign in Bramhall, and this, well it is anyone's guess. Robert
:12:36. > :12:41.Ridley got so sick of overgrown greenery that he decided to shame
:12:41. > :12:44.Stockport council into shaping up and chopping it back. I noticed a
:12:44. > :12:47.few months ago they were in the same state. I thought it doesn't
:12:47. > :12:51.appear anybody is checking these things and doing anything about
:12:52. > :12:56.them. I thought I'm going to take picture, so in between dropping
:12:56. > :13:03.pupils off, I would stop, and take a few pictures. I ended up with
:13:03. > :13:07.about 14 or 15 in about two weeks. His collection includes not just
:13:07. > :13:12.directional signs but traffic light signs and a school crossing sign.
:13:13. > :13:16.You wouldn't have a clue what that was. See it there? All the snaps
:13:16. > :13:21.have been sent to the council, including this one which believe it
:13:21. > :13:24.or not is right in the approach to the Bredbury test centre. It is
:13:24. > :13:29.hard enough to learn how to drive without having the problem of road
:13:29. > :13:39.signs which you can't read. Stockport council did promptly
:13:39. > :13:44.
:13:45. > :13:48.But Robert estimated round half of the 14 still haven't been cleared.
:13:48. > :13:52.I do feel overall I shouldn't have to draw their attention to them.
:13:52. > :13:57.They should deal with them adds a matter of course. Robert says he is
:13:57. > :14:01.ready to cast his critical eye beyond the boundarys of Stockport
:14:01. > :14:08.and hopes it will mean councils across the north-west cut more than
:14:08. > :14:12.their budgets P -- budgets. With a clear view of the sport here is
:14:12. > :14:18.Tony. Last night really awful scenes at Accrington Stanley. There
:14:18. > :14:21.is footage of it of a poor young player knocked out. First the good
:14:21. > :14:26.news, 1-year-old Tom Bender has left hospital this afternoon. Last
:14:26. > :14:30.night have a look at that. Things looked worse. The defender collided
:14:31. > :14:35.with his goalkeeper and a Tranmere forward during a Johnstone's Paint
:14:35. > :14:41.Trophy tie. He was treated on the pitch and had to be put on oxygen
:14:41. > :14:45.and a drip. Rare a game gets abandon. The guy south cold so
:14:45. > :14:48.there is no doubt they were going to call it off. We think it is
:14:48. > :14:52.unprecedented ch I spoke to the cheek at Accrington Stanley late
:14:53. > :14:58.last night, and he said the players were so upset there was no question
:14:58. > :15:03.about calling it off. Today, there has been lots of sympathy from Tom.
:15:03. > :15:09.So let us get the latest now. can go to Richard at Accrington's
:15:09. > :15:12.ground at the scene of the collision. Yes, Tony, delighted to
:15:12. > :15:16.say in the last few minutes Tom has been in touch with the club to
:15:16. > :15:20.reiterate he is fine. He is a bit groggy but otherwise OK, which is
:15:20. > :15:25.great news. That is where it took place in this penalty area here.
:15:25. > :15:31.Late on in the first half. I think as you say toney it is a reflection
:15:31. > :15:35.on how rare it is for a match to be abandoned. They thought it might be
:15:35. > :15:39.life-threatening at the time. I was talking to his dad. You can imagine
:15:39. > :15:42.what he was feeling. He said Tom is philosophical about it all, and in
:15:43. > :15:48.fact although he can't remember the incident, he just can't wait to get
:15:48. > :15:54.back playing again. At Accrington Stanley today, there was a sense of
:15:54. > :15:58.relief, of getting back to normal. After a freak accident that
:15:58. > :16:02.thankfully looked worse than it has turned out to be. When you start
:16:02. > :16:06.thinking about life-threatening injuries, that is when it goes to a
:16:06. > :16:11.different realm. That was the main concern, his wellbeing, basically,
:16:11. > :16:16.and the fact he hadn't moved and responded for so long was a big
:16:16. > :16:21.concern. Thankfully, he has come through it. Tom Bender was knocked
:16:21. > :16:25.cold. Sandwiched between a Tranmere player and the keeper who punched
:16:25. > :16:30.him accidentally. The young defender remained unconscious. A
:16:30. > :16:34.paramedic was there 17 minutes later, a ambulance five minutes
:16:34. > :16:38.after that. You have to bear in mind we had two doctors on site.
:16:39. > :16:42.The club medical staff and both sides and the equipment we have on
:16:42. > :16:45.site is probably exactly the same as you would have in the back of a
:16:45. > :16:50.ambulance any way. So at least as soon as it happened we had people
:16:50. > :16:53.on site that could deal with it and the equipment required to make his
:16:53. > :16:57.stable. It was extremely concerning for everybody who watched the game
:16:57. > :17:00.last night but nobody more so than Tom's father who was sitting in
:17:00. > :17:05.this part of the ground. You can only imagine what he and everybody
:17:05. > :17:10.else close to him thought as they looked and saw what was unfolding.
:17:10. > :17:13.It is one of them freak accident, the ball bounced in the area. Just
:17:13. > :17:18.a collision twreen the three of us. All the medical people were round
:17:18. > :17:23.him. He was in the best hands, so, as I say, just thank God he is OK
:17:23. > :17:27.today. After tests and a brain scan showed no lasting damage Tom has
:17:27. > :17:34.been given the all clear and can catch up on the messages of support
:17:34. > :17:39.he has received. Some of them on twister including Robbie savage and
:17:39. > :17:46.Jack Wilshere. Tom is heading back to his family home in Essex to
:17:46. > :17:51.recover. On his way back there he has tweeted. Where would we be
:17:51. > :17:55.without it. He says he is fine. He thanksin' for their support and at
:17:55. > :17:58.the hospital as well. Because there is no lasting damage to Tom, it
:17:59. > :18:05.probably won't be too long before he is back on the pitch. Which is
:18:05. > :18:08.great news. Thank you. Rugby league and Leigh Centurions will outline
:18:08. > :18:12.their plans to prevent the club going into liquidation, the club's
:18:12. > :18:17.admitted it has cash flow problems. I lost the support of its main
:18:17. > :18:23.financial backer and was knocked out of the Championship play auf
:18:23. > :18:27.wiedersehen es -- play-offs. All this week we have been catching one
:18:27. > :18:30.the five Olympic hopefuls we are following all the way to London
:18:30. > :18:35.2000 126789 today it is swimmer Dan Sliwinski, who has been working
:18:35. > :18:45.with his sports scientist at his club in Stockport, to shave those
:18:45. > :18:45.
:18:45. > :18:50.vital hundreds of a second off his time. To succeed in front of the
:18:50. > :18:54.world's cameras Dan must first pay attention to this little camera
:18:54. > :19:01.recording under water, it analyses his turns I am straight there and
:19:01. > :19:07.down a bit. My legs always come up. It not too bad. My back is arched.
:19:07. > :19:11.It is better. You drop your head a lot there. Definitely improvement.
:19:11. > :19:15.When I first came it was, it was my worst point. Now we have been
:19:15. > :19:21.working on it, we have seen improvements which is nice. Being
:19:21. > :19:28.six foot five I have a lot of body to get round quicker. He is quicker
:19:28. > :19:34.round the wall with than he was when he first came. Now his real
:19:34. > :19:40.gain to be made is on the break out. It has been a mixed 12 months for
:19:40. > :19:47.Dan. Commonwealth bronze followed by injury. He has just had his last
:19:47. > :19:52.toll day for a while. You try to have the most relaxed break. Got in
:19:52. > :20:00.at 7.30. Finished 9.30 and straight to the gym in a minute to do a

:20:04. > :20:14.a bit of sports science is what can turn his potential into Olympic
:20:14. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:22.success. And tomorrow night we will catch up with blind paracyclist
:20:23. > :20:28.lawyer ra. That is pretty much it. I was speaking to Rob hais last
:20:28. > :20:33.night. One of the first things Tom said was he apologised his club
:20:33. > :20:40.socks had to be cult u off and he knows they are skint. Bless him. I
:20:40. > :20:45.tell you what, they will Bly him a new pair. Good news though. You
:20:45. > :20:49.will like this. You maybe remember this from queuing up for the bus.
:20:49. > :20:54.There is no denieing nigh it that Preston bus station has been one of
:20:54. > :20:57.the most recognisable landmarks, now it is described as architecture
:20:57. > :21:05.which is worthy of global recognition. You might well raise
:21:05. > :21:10.your eye browse. I didn't mean to. No, I mean me! The world monuments
:21:10. > :21:14.fund announced it is among 67 her tadge site it is adding to its list
:21:14. > :21:21.of treasures placed that are in danger. Preston council want to go
:21:21. > :21:25.ahead with plans to demolish it. When it opened in 1969 it was the
:21:26. > :21:32.largest bus station in Europe, and at the cutting-edge of
:21:32. > :21:37.architectural design. Four decades on, many of those who use it see it
:21:37. > :21:42.as a familiar, if unremarkable friend. Handy for the markets and
:21:42. > :21:46.town. It gets the job done It is OK. But Preston council say it is past
:21:46. > :21:50.its best. They want a new transport interchange, and this place is
:21:50. > :21:56.standing in the way of ambitious plans to redevelop the city centre.
:21:56. > :22:00.They want to flatten it. But the world monuments fund, an
:22:00. > :22:03.international organisation dedicated to protecting cultural
:22:03. > :22:09.heritage say say it treasure, a structure of global importance
:22:09. > :22:13.won't say that. You wouldn't? really. I don't know about global
:22:13. > :22:17.importance but it is fornt the town. The World Monument Fund say the
:22:17. > :22:20.building is a prime example of brutalism. This is one of those
:22:20. > :22:25.buildings that divides public opinion. Like that famous savoury
:22:25. > :22:28.spread you either love it or hate it. Those who love it have tried
:22:28. > :22:34.unsuccessfully twice to get it listed. But Government ministers
:22:34. > :22:38.took a look at the place and decided it wasn't special enough.
:22:38. > :22:42.So why did the monument fund believe it is so special? Instead
:22:42. > :22:46.of tearing the whole thing down, all the energy that brave building
:22:46. > :22:51.took to put up in the first place and which is still useful, what is
:22:51. > :22:55.going to replace it? A weak thinly clad shopping centre that will last
:22:55. > :22:59.ten years before it is pulled down? I think it has to be valued now
:22:59. > :23:05.before it is too late. council's cheek says if proud
:23:05. > :23:08.Preston is to progress it can't rely on sentiment alone. I can
:23:08. > :23:13.remember this bus station being built. It was an exciting new
:23:13. > :23:18.building at this stage. It has severed Preston very well but we
:23:18. > :23:22.have to look to the future and Preston needs to attract investment
:23:22. > :23:32.and economic growth. So, global gem, or outdated relic? The debate goes
:23:32. > :23:38.on. The years I have spent there stkwhr. The only good memory I have
:23:38. > :23:41.is when I was in early 20s and was a student and the very lovely
:23:41. > :23:45.Stuart Flinders was there and I thought he is off the telly. I want
:23:45. > :23:49.to be a journalist. I went over and he was so lovely. He bought me a
:23:49. > :23:53.cup of tea and talked to me. And the rest is history. I was his
:23:53. > :23:57.first and only fan. We were in that cafe there good memories. If you
:23:57. > :24:00.are queuing up for the bus you might get wet I think. Bothyouth
:24:00. > :24:06.have coped beautifully with your first programme us with. Let us see
:24:06. > :24:11.what your face looks like when you get north-west weather, because my
:24:11. > :24:14.goodness it is coming. If you look at this map, the isobars are very
:24:14. > :24:18.tightly backpacked. That is only half the story. There will be hefty
:24:18. > :24:25.showers as you go through the day. Through the day today, well we made
:24:25. > :24:28.the most of it in parts of the regionful Liverpool got to 20C.
:24:28. > :24:33.That is the last day you will see temperatures like that. It is a
:24:33. > :24:37.thing of the past. You saw from Richard's report it was raining in
:24:37. > :24:41.Accrington and that is dropping south. So if you haven't seen a lot
:24:41. > :24:46.it is coming. It is a narrow band so I think by the time we get to
:24:46. > :24:49.nine or ten clock it will have gone. Then there will be a brief lull
:24:49. > :24:53.then the showers pick up. The wind has been really quite brisk. It
:24:53. > :24:56.continues to be brisk through the night, but it is still from the
:24:56. > :25:02.south-west. It is forcing in those showers but the south-westerly wind
:25:02. > :25:07.is relatively mild. In theory one or two rueful spots to go to nine.
:25:07. > :25:11.For most you will be talking of ten and 11. Into tomorrow and all
:25:11. > :25:17.change, the Met Office are warning we will have very strong wind in
:25:17. > :25:20.the north-west. Gusting 50-60mph. Gale force at time. Strong
:25:20. > :25:23.everywhere and a change of direction. It is west to north-
:25:23. > :25:28.westerly. So the southern parts will be bat erred by them. They are
:25:28. > :25:31.forcing in showers, so if you look at that it is a combination of
:25:32. > :25:36.hefty prolonged showers, a glimpse of sunshine from time to time and a
:25:36. > :25:40.lot of cloud cover. Within those showers there could be hail and
:25:40. > :25:47.even some thunder, and your temperatures, from about 27 last
:25:47. > :25:51.week, 13 or 14. Welcome back to the north-west! Thank you. Did you lay
:25:51. > :25:55.that on especially? How has it been? Very good. Enjoyed it. Very
:25:55. > :26:00.nice. Sorry about the weather. I Friel guilty because it was sunny
:26:00. > :26:03.and I have arrived. We blame you. You did the tea round which is a
:26:03. > :26:09.good sign. Well done you got through. She said is it true you
:26:09. > :26:15.are going to get the teas in and looked at me. Gordon got, I was
