:01:19. > :01:23.killed. But despite their concerns, they have no power to stop
:01:23. > :01:33.fishermen going out to sea. Our chief correspondent has spent the
:01:33. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:42.day in Lytham. Was it business as usual despite last night's drama?
:01:42. > :01:52.Very much so. These vehicles belonged to cockler Blue Square

:01:52. > :01:57.Premier -- Copper Clubs. These are rich harvesting sites. People are
:01:57. > :02:07.wanting to bring in these cockles. Last night a major search and

:02:12. > :02:18.Are they satisfied there is nobody else left their? The police
:02:18. > :02:28.helicopter was involved in last night's operation. Six had got into
:02:28. > :02:33.difficulties off the coast of Lancashire. They had difficulties
:02:33. > :02:39.getting back to shore. The today, there was no shortage of cocklers
:02:39. > :02:43.going out to harvest the coastline. What has happened is a Klondike
:02:44. > :02:47.operation that has grown up as people realise there is money to be
:02:47. > :02:54.made. More people are getting involved and it is difficult to
:02:54. > :02:59.regulate. Their destination is five miles off the coast of Lytham.
:02:59. > :03:03.Cockle reserves there are said to be worth millions. It open to
:03:03. > :03:09.fishing in September. Even at low tide you need a boat to access the
:03:09. > :03:13.cockle beds. They will use something like this one and sail
:03:13. > :03:18.out to the cockle beds. They will gather the cockles and when the
:03:18. > :03:23.tide comes back in, it floats the vessel and they get back in and
:03:23. > :03:27.sail back to shore. At least, that is the theory. The local lifeboat
:03:28. > :03:33.has been called out nine times since the beginning of September to

:04:09. > :04:13.I am thinking of going out today. The weather is said to be good
:04:13. > :04:21.later on which is when it counts. So some say the time has come for

:04:39. > :04:42.there. Prince Charles was back in Burnley
:04:42. > :04:45.today to check up on the Weavers' Triangle restoration project. His
:04:45. > :04:49.Royal Highness, a lover of architecture, wants to make sure

:05:02. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:09.for Burnley than any others. That is since the 2001 riots. A prince
:05:09. > :05:16.Charles is no stranger to Burnley. He has visited four times in the

:05:20. > :05:26.His campaign is to use restoration projects to restore pride in local
:05:26. > :05:31.areas. We are bringing back some of these great buildings. You can
:05:31. > :05:36.convert them to residential, mixed use. We have done it quite a lot
:05:36. > :05:40.with old mill buildings. Weavers' Triangle was once the heart of the
:05:40. > :05:46.textile industry in Burnley. For these apprentices the old building
:05:46. > :05:51.is giving them a chance to learn something new. It is important.
:05:51. > :05:58.keeps trades going. Not a lot of people do this work any more. We
:05:58. > :06:02.need these trades to keep going. Burnley council has put millions of
:06:02. > :06:09.pounds into the area. But when the pomp and ceremony has been put away,
:06:09. > :06:14.will it make a difference? I am glad it has been spent here. It is
:06:14. > :06:19.positive. It does not make any difference. Everything will be the
:06:19. > :06:23.same in Burnley. Will people from Burnley have enough money to enjoy
:06:23. > :06:29.the good life here? Give that was not the case, we would have got it
:06:29. > :06:35.wrong. We are changing the area to have leisure, cinemas, restaurants

:10:12. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:18.EU membership is an issue we should all care about. When you ask people
:10:18. > :10:24.an open question, very few people mentioned the issue of Europe. But
:10:24. > :10:29.it affect so many things. I made a reference yesterday in my speech to

:10:49. > :10:55.fundamental reform and Europe, and yet he will bring in a three-line
:10:55. > :11:01.whip to defeat the motion, do you trust in? A of course I trust the
:11:01. > :11:05.Prime Minister. I hope this motion will strengthen his arm in
:11:05. > :11:11.negotiations that he will have to have in future with European
:11:11. > :11:17.partners. If we could have a referendum on the issue, that would
:11:17. > :11:23.further strengthen his arm. It will not happen now. The motion last
:11:23. > :11:26.night was defeated by a large margin, which is not surprising
:11:26. > :11:36.considering all three of the major parties were imposing a three-line

:12:03. > :12:06.died in January. She did have mild asthma, but wasn't in what is

:12:20. > :12:24.with the flu vaccination programme? It is still early on. It only
:12:24. > :12:30.started at the beginning of October. But, so far, almost 45% of people
:12:30. > :12:34.over 65 have had the jab. You'll know if you need it by the way
:12:34. > :12:38.because your doctor will already have been in touch. What's worrying
:12:38. > :12:44.health bosses though is this figure, less than 25% of those under 65 and
:12:44. > :12:46.in an at risk group have been for THEIR vaccination. It's that group
:12:46. > :12:49.that is always the hardest to persuade into their doctors.
:12:49. > :12:55.Olivia's parents hope that by speaking out about losing their
:12:55. > :13:02.daughter they might be able to change that.
:13:03. > :13:12.17 years old and with so much ahead of her. Olivia wanted to become a
:13:13. > :13:13.
:13:13. > :13:21.teacher. One thing we all miss is how she used to come home from
:13:21. > :13:25.school and just shine a light into our life. Olivia had mild asthma
:13:25. > :13:29.but was not in an at risk group and did not have the flu jab. When she
:13:29. > :13:35.fell ill with swine flu, she contracted another infection and
:13:35. > :13:42.her body could not fight both at once. Now, her parents had this
:13:42. > :13:49.message. If you are at risk, get the flu jab. If you are in doubt,
:13:49. > :13:53.seek medical advice. That would be her wish. Just because she is not
:13:53. > :14:03.here physically does not mean she cannot put the message through to
:14:03. > :14:04.
:14:04. > :14:08.as many people and she can. Maybe she might save some lives.
:14:08. > :14:13.Hopefully, other people will not have to go through what our family

:14:40. > :14:44.That's why midwives at Tameside Hospital are making sure anyone who
