:00:10. > :00:15.Good evening. The top story, can at tiny stretch of new railway line
:00:15. > :00:19.really the East Lancashire back on the main line to economic recovery?
:00:19. > :00:25.The plan is one of many to get millions of pounds of grants from
:00:25. > :00:30.the Government, can it help save North West jobs? Also tonight, we
:00:30. > :00:38.go on mischief achieved -- a Mischief Night patrol. Mean that
:00:38. > :00:45.women who takes her holidays in Tornado Alley. We are five miles
:00:45. > :00:53.away from a tornado. The word which baffled Katy Perry and got
:00:53. > :01:03.Manchester's council chief bleeped on US radio. Are you familiar with
:01:03. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:10.the word shed load? It is just a quarter of a mile of
:01:10. > :01:14.train line, but many believe it could put one of the region's most
:01:14. > :01:19.deprived towns back on track. The Todmorden Curve project will
:01:19. > :01:24.finally give Burnley a direct link to Manchester. It is one of a dozen
:01:24. > :01:28.schemes announced by the Government even that creating jobs. The
:01:28. > :01:37.supporters believe it could create 1000 jobs and turn Burnley into a
:01:37. > :01:42.commuter town for Manchester. This is not just money for Burnley. �1.4
:01:42. > :01:47.million -- �1.4 billion has been given to schemes all over the
:01:47. > :01:57.country. BBC research has shown there is nowhere as vulnerable as
:01:57. > :02:03.you're in Burnley. Other schemes in the north-west will benefit. They
:02:03. > :02:09.reckon they will be creating a 7,000 jobs in the north-west. The
:02:09. > :02:17.Todmorden Curve is the biggest project. Just 500 metres of railway
:02:17. > :02:23.line, but the impact of that has been monumental, denying Burnley
:02:23. > :02:27.access to elsewhere in the north- west. This is the infamous
:02:27. > :02:36.Todmorden Curve. Checkout the railway line there, sneaking off
:02:36. > :02:40.into the undergrowth. The closure of this line has held Burnley back.
:02:40. > :02:46.Without it, the journey to Manchester can take nearly two
:02:46. > :02:52.hours. Burnley is simply not on the map. It is about getting into
:02:52. > :02:57.Manchester to do business. People who might choose to invest will
:02:57. > :03:03.look at how to connect to other places, how they can travel to
:03:03. > :03:12.other places, this changes the game for Burnley. This taps Burnley into
:03:12. > :03:19.Manchester. Jobs here attract �380 a week, in Manchester it is �500.
:03:20. > :03:26.Redevelopment projects like this will be tapped into that growth.
:03:26. > :03:36.These are real jobs. We are already talking too late -- talking to
:03:36. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:43.local stakeholders. We are talking to the football club with regards
:03:43. > :03:51.accommodation. Right now the train station is just some parking spaces
:03:51. > :03:56.and platforms. All of that will change by 2014. The train should
:03:56. > :04:04.take less than a hour and it would be cheap. I would prefer to get the
:04:05. > :04:09.train to work. It takes two hours to get to work. I meet a local
:04:09. > :04:19.estate agent just a few miles up the road. This link put Burnley on
:04:19. > :04:21.
:04:21. > :04:26.the commuter belt. This is not necessarily new money, it is money
:04:26. > :04:30.we would have had through the Regional Development Agency. Labour
:04:30. > :04:38.has been quite critical of this, saying the amount of funding has
:04:38. > :04:43.been slashed by two-thirds. They also say this is the second amount
:04:43. > :04:46.of funding and the first one has not paid out in full yet. Only five
:04:46. > :04:52.of the 45 schemes have received a cheque and there will be no
:04:53. > :05:02.surcharge. Criticism from Labour, but herein Burnley, this is
:05:02. > :05:06.excellent news. A Cheshire businessman has hit I'd at a
:05:06. > :05:12.coroner who question his version of events about a man shot dead at his

:05:23. > :05:29.Coghlan had been acquitted all. The police say they may never know how
:05:29. > :05:34.Stephen Akinyemi died. Aaran Coghlan has always maintained he
:05:34. > :05:39.acted in self-defence. I should have been congratulated on
:05:39. > :05:48.surviving and commended on the fact I did not acquiesce to the man's
:05:48. > :05:58.demands at gunpoint. He said he is aim was to not be shot. Stephen
:05:58. > :06:02.Akinyemi was killed. Aaran Coghlan had been acquitted of murder. There
:06:02. > :06:12.were heated scenes at the inquest before the coroner recorded an open

:06:34. > :06:40.to save the blushes of the police, but that will be short-lived
:06:40. > :06:46.because I am considering a judicial review, and taking them to the
:06:46. > :06:49.civil courts where they cannot avoid questions. He accused Greater
:06:49. > :06:54.Manchester Police of knowing Stephen Akinyemi was after him and
:06:54. > :06:57.doing nothing. We can see have no circumstances where we would know
:06:57. > :07:04.of a threat being imposed to another individual and completely
:07:04. > :07:11.ignoring it. It simply would not happen. And it's the accusations,
:07:11. > :07:16.Stephen Akinyemi left the hearing with fewer answers. -- are amongst
:07:16. > :07:24.the accusations. The investigation is now closed and police say they
:07:24. > :07:32.will never now know what took place. The coroner said what happened is
:07:32. > :07:36.now known only to Aaran Coghlan. In other news, an investigation is

:12:24. > :12:31.Run for shelter. I love it when you scream. This was earlier in the
:12:31. > :12:34.summer. What was it like? It was incredible. We have been doing it
:12:35. > :12:44.for six years. We went with tour companies the first couple of years
:12:45. > :12:46.
:12:46. > :12:56.to get to grips with it. It is obviously dangerous. It was
:12:56. > :13:05.phenomenal but this year was quite difficult. One tornado was fatal.
:13:05. > :13:12.At least 150 people killed. This is the town before. This is it after
:13:12. > :13:20.words. It puts into perspective the amazing power of these things. Did
:13:20. > :13:27.you feel scared? The adrenalin kicks in. My brother is amazing a
:13:27. > :13:30.memorising a map. We are good team. He is the Navigator and I do the
:13:30. > :13:40.driving. He is fantastic at memorising the map and knowing
:13:40. > :13:41.
:13:41. > :13:51.where we are. Keeping yourself at a safe distance? That is correct. The
:13:51. > :13:51.
:13:51. > :13:59.adrenalin kicks in. Is it all about adrenalin? Not for me. It is about
:13:59. > :14:07.forecasting and getting it correct. Chasing it, that is completely to
:14:07. > :14:15.do with it. Some people say you are mad. Some people do say that. For
:14:15. > :14:23.me it is about the research as well. I do research into tornadoes. We
:14:23. > :14:29.get a lot of tornadoes here as well. You mentioned Tornados here,
:14:29. > :14:39.because you can chase them, but we get a lot we do not realise about.
:14:39. > :14:40.
:14:40. > :14:50.We actually get more here than any other country in the world. The
:14:50. > :14:50.
:14:50. > :14:57.database proves that. Over there, it is easier to chase them. You are
:14:57. > :15:07.covered with trees and hills. you it is more difficult because
:15:07. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:11.you have a skin condition. At that played a part a new doing this? --
:15:11. > :15:18.have that played a part in you doing this? It makes it more
:15:19. > :15:26.difficult. I have been brought up to be as normal as possible and be
:15:26. > :15:36.pushed out there. I do not think chasing tornadoes is normal. It is
:15:36. > :15:37.
:15:37. > :15:46.not absolutely normal!. Everybody has a passion. What is next?
:15:46. > :15:56.Hopefully I will go away next May. The programme is on BBC Three. It
:15:56. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:07.Well done. Thank you very much. Next, a poignant relic of the Isle

:16:13. > :16:20.after it left the island. It is the anchor of him Manx ferry

:16:31. > :16:34.
:16:34. > :16:38., at last after more than 70 years. -- Omar at last.
:16:38. > :16:45.A few weeks earlier, the men on these steps had been sailing
:16:45. > :16:51.between Douglas and Liverpool on a normal serve a -- ferry service. A
:16:51. > :16:56.month later, they are being attacked and shelter, and it is
:16:56. > :17:02.just tell. The shed joined the evacuation from
:17:02. > :17:07.Dunkirk, one of eight from the Isle of Man's Steam Packet Company.
:17:07. > :17:13.After being salvaged, Bianca was restored in Birkenhead, the very
:17:13. > :17:23.place that the ship was built in the 1930s. It was welcomed back to
:17:23. > :17:23.
:17:23. > :17:27.the sounds of the Manx National Anthem.
:17:28. > :17:33.We all but debt of gratitude and today has been very special.
:17:33. > :17:38.The memorial will be set up in the South of the island.
:17:38. > :17:43.It did not look like that when we took it up. It was covered in
:17:43. > :17:48.barnacles. The place chosen for the memorial is a wonderful., looking
:17:48. > :17:56.out to sea, and people will be able to go there and look out and think
:17:56. > :18:00.about the men. Nice to see the anchor back, but
:18:00. > :18:10.also a fitting memorial for those unrecognised heroes.
:18:10. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:17.Moving on to the sport now. Everton fans, do they have an investor?
:18:17. > :18:23.Sort of. I would not be getting too excited at this stage if I was an
:18:23. > :18:32.Everton fan. There has been contact with a company called the Jain
:18:32. > :18:37.Group, the conglomerate based in India. I understand they have had
:18:37. > :18:45.talks, and there is no secret that they are trying to sell the club,
:18:45. > :18:53.but it is not clear that they have gone any further. We will keep a
:18:54. > :18:58.close eye on that. The Rovers 1 on the receiving end
:18:58. > :19:04.of some bad luck. Yes, terrible luck. They were 3-1
:19:05. > :19:09.up and then a deflected goal and a very harsh penalty. But they did
:19:09. > :19:13.get at draw. Manchester City did not reach the
:19:13. > :19:17.heights of last weekend but they are still five points clear that
:19:17. > :19:23.the top of the Premier League after that three-to-one victory over
:19:23. > :19:28.Wolves. This goal from Adam Johnson was enough to seal a comfortable
:19:28. > :19:38.win. Manchester United needed to bounce
:19:38. > :19:39.
:19:39. > :19:45.back from last Sunday's thumping against Manchester.
:19:45. > :19:51.Unbeaten in seven, Liverpool are six. Not a lot of controversy there
:19:51. > :19:56.but there was plenty for Blackburn Rovers. They were coasting after
:19:56. > :20:06.scoring three. But then a deflected goal and a controversial penalty
:20:06. > :20:09.
:20:09. > :20:19.cruelly and a day 0.2 Norwich. Burnley were inspired to a 3-1
:20:19. > :20:22.
:20:22. > :20:26.My message to the Burnley fans is that than 100% committed to the
:20:26. > :20:32.club. You do not often go three up but
:20:33. > :20:36.take just one point, but that happens to lead one of them.
:20:36. > :20:46.Carlisle made the comeback in stoppage time.
:20:46. > :20:51.
:20:51. > :20:56.In League 2, Peter Murphy scored in a 1-1 draw.
:20:56. > :21:03.Liverpool expect to discover the full extent of Steven Gerrard's
:21:03. > :21:08.latest in this -- latest injury. He has only just returned after a
:21:08. > :21:16.lengthy absence with a groin injury. Some sad news from rugby league and
:21:16. > :21:20.the St Helens legend Len Kileen has died in his native South Africa. He
:21:20. > :21:27.scored more than 1,000 points for St Helens. His crowning moment was

:21:37. > :21:47.in 1966. Preston Grasshoppers have pulled
:21:47. > :21:50.off a coup by persuading shone to play for them. He has won every

:22:00. > :22:04.
:22:04. > :22:11.generation. He is still only 35. The latest in a long list, as well.

:23:26. > :23:31.Our show is very loud and in-your- face and crazy so why was minutes -
:23:31. > :23:37.- I was nervous about having such a respectable man here.
:23:37. > :23:42.He was doing his best to sell Manchester two American listeners.
:23:42. > :23:46.The Lonely Planet guide said that you had to work hard not to have a

:23:57. > :24:04.and I used at -- an expression, they shed load.
:24:04. > :24:14.As soon as I said it, they all jumped. You did say said, didn't
:24:14. > :24:16.
:24:16. > :24:20.you? -- shed. You thought he said a rude word?
:24:20. > :24:27.had to think about it but the censors in New York bot he said
:24:27. > :24:31.something else. Next up, American senator Katie
:24:31. > :24:40.Perry. Are you familiar with the words
:24:40. > :24:50.shed load? Know. And what is your plan? Drink. Find me a pub.
:24:50. > :24:54.
:24:54. > :25:04.If you bump into Elvis, mind your language.
:25:04. > :25:08.Shall we take a look at the Heading into November and you would
:25:08. > :25:12.think that temperatures would be cooling down. Not so for the next
:25:12. > :25:17.couple of days. The warm there seems to be winning the battle as
:25:17. > :25:24.we head into Friday. Through the night tonight, it will turn fairly
:25:24. > :25:29.wet. It will be slightly cooler than it was last night. Through the
:25:29. > :25:35.day to day, temperatures up to 16 degrees for most of us. Very nice
:25:35. > :25:40.for this time of year. If you look over my shoulder, you can see that
:25:40. > :25:45.band of rain. It does not look too heavy but as it moves across north-
:25:45. > :25:51.west England, it will slow down so I think there will be heavy bursts.
:25:51. > :26:01.That will stay with us for a few hours tonight. The rain will chase
:26:01. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:08.you home if you are trick or treating. Eight degrees will be the
:26:08. > :26:12.minimum but for many places, nine or ten degrees. First thing
:26:12. > :26:20.tomorrow morning, if you are up early, there could be a shower
:26:20. > :26:24.still on Mount. Through the day, there will perhaps be a shower for
:26:24. > :26:30.northern parts of Lancashire but that will dire way. It is a nice
:26:30. > :26:36.looking day for the 1st November. Dry, fine and a lot of sunshine.
:26:36. > :26:41.The breeze from the site is less than 10 mph or so that is a pretty
:26:41. > :26:46.picture. Temperatures will rise nicely through the day. For the
:26:46. > :26:51.next couple of days after that, Wednesday would try but I think it
:26:51. > :26:56.will have a bit of rain. For the rest of the week, it does not look
:26:56. > :27:03.pretty. I know that our storm chaser is
:27:03. > :27:09.desperate to meet you. Did you meet her? Yes, I did get to meet her.
:27:09. > :27:16.The programme will be great. Before we go, we have a series
:27:16. > :27:22.starting on tomorrow's programme, having spent last week aboard HMS
