Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight. Our top story... | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Raids at dawn - the authorities move in as cocklers defy the | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
warnings to pick the valuable sand beds off the Lancashire coast. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
People are going out on equipped and experienced with the estuary. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
One third of fishermen were turned away because they did not have the | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
right permit but may return tomorrow. | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
And, after eight hours of motorway hell, we are live from the M6 where | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
repair work is still underway to get traffic moving again. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
On manoevres in the Med - we join the crew of HMS Liverpool on her | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
final journey home. And if you like your sport fast, | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
frightening and afloat, join me at Coniston Water for this week's | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:08. | ||
Ever since a new cockle bed was officially opened for harvesting, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
word has spread and literally hundreds of fishermen from this | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
country and Europe have converged on the shore at Lytham. They work | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
backbreaking hours for the cockles, worth millions of pounds. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
But each week since then there have been serious concerns about those | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
going offshore onto the sands, which are famously unpredictable | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
and dangerous. The cockle beds are at Foulnaze banks, about a mile off | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
the coast of Lytham. Pickers have to navigate the sands and gullies | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
to get there. Kate Simms joins us from Lytham now. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
All quiet on the beach at Lytham at the moment, but by six o'clock | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
tomorrow morning weather permitting it will be full of fishermen and | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
they will be on the lookout for these. The Foulnaze Banks container | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
needs -- estimated �8 million worth of these cockles. One fisherman had | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
been out for three years this morning and sold them for �600. It | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
is a lucrative industry, but one that was curtailed this morning | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
when the different agencies that regulated came to go that -- came | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
together to try and enforce the regulations. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Checking vehicles, flares and even looking for red diesel. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
These were just the fishermen who made it out at all. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
I do check. We have turned at least 50 individuals away who did not | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
have the correct payment -- at the checkpoint, leader under way 50 | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
individuals who did not have the correct permit and safety equipment. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
The cockle bed it will attract up to 450 fishermen every day. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
This incident is a direct response to 26 incidents in September were | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
left board had to be called out to rescue cocklers. It is also a | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
reminder of the tragedy in 2003 where it goggle pillars -- cockle | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
pickers drowned in Morecambe Bay. People are going out unequipped, | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
not experienced with the estuary. A you have to get rid of them and | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
get proper life jackets. Despite a rap on the knuckles, | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
these fishermen were largely supportive of today's checks, but | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
they say they are meaningless if they are not more for good. | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
If they're going to do it they should do it every day, then they | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
will know the people who are all right and spirit every day. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
The many agencies policing here today pledged to carry out more | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
operations. Meanwhile, the council will meet with the Fisheries | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Minister to discuss how to improve regulation. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
What do they cancel want to ask the Government is, instead of having | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
lots of different agencies policing the industry, they want to see one | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
body policing it locally. That will take time and money, though. In the | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
meantime, the council announced they will charge 15 -- �15 per day | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
to charges -- to park on this beach so that some money from the | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
:04:25. | :04:25. | ||
lucrative industry will come back A chemical spillage has caused | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
traffic chaos on motorways and roads across the North West today. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Part of the M6 Northbound has been closed for most of the day after a | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
tanker overturned this morning. It has had a knock-on effect across | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
the region, with tail-backs lasting for miles. Our reporter, Sarah | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Mulkerrins, has been caught up in the jams and she joins us now. What | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
is the latest? Now I am between Junction 30 and 31. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Behind me two lanes of traffic have reopened. That is after four lanes | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
were closed today. They have done that in order to facilitate the | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
peak rush of traffic. There will be a lay-by lane closures on the M6 | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
tonight. When -- engineers are working to get the lanes reopened | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
for traffic tonight and they hope to have all the work completed for | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
5am for tomorrow morning's rush hour. | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
John that has been a real mess for anyone today caught up in those | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
problems. Explain how everything has started. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
It has been a series of different accidents today. The M65 was closed | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
this morning, a motorcyclist was unfortunately killed. After 10 and | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
there was a solvent bill here on the M6. -- a solvent spell. Just | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
this evening of the M6 southbound, which has been affected all day, | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
that has had a multi- vehicle accident and is now closed. It has | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
been a catalogue of accidents that have added to everything here. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
1 the M6 earlier they were a sign posting it to try and stop people | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
getting to the board Tomich, but for those stuck in it, how did they | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
react? Most people have been calm and | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
patient, but it has been very frustrating for people. We were | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
talking earlier to one grandfather who was today trying to get to see | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
his new grandson born last night, but failed. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
but failed. I was travelling to the hospital to | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
see my first grandchild, born last night drivers were frustrated and | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
horns were going and lights flashing and everything. | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
It was horrendous, and not many visitors were able to get to the | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
hospital. Only two midwives managed to get in. There was a shortage of | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
nurses, everything was affected, nurses, everything was affected, | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
basically. As we can see, traffic is slowly | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
getting here tonight, and they hope to have all the resurfacing work | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:13. | ||
done by 5am in the morning. A chemical spillage has caused | :07:13. | :07:23. | |
:07:23. | :07:27. | ||
traffic chaos on motorways and More news from around the North | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
West now, and a Network Rail engineer has admitted to an inquest | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
that he forgot to inspect the points which caused the Grayrigg | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
crash. David Lewis blamed pressure of work, telling the hearing at | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Kendal he felt like a man spinning plates on poles. 84-year-old | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Margaret Masson died in the crash four years ago. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
A man involved with an armed robbery in Lancashire six years ago | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
has been jailed for over ten years. Stephen Devalda provided a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
motorbike which two of the gang used to get to and from the crime | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
scene at Asda in Colne. Devalda was arrested and charged four years ago, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
but jumped bail and fled to Spain. He was arrested in Malaga in March. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
A �170,000 grant will be invested in Alzheimer's research in | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Manchester. The money from Alzeheimer's UK will be used by | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
scientists at Manchester University to uncover the causes of the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
disease and help develop new treatments. | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Indie band James have been honoured by a Heritage Music award. Today | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
they unveiled a special black plaque at the site of the former | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Hacienda club in Manchester. It marks the place where the original | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
band played their first gig together. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
23 people accused of involvement in this summer's riots have been | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
arrested in raids across Greater Manchester. It brings the total of | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
arrests to just short of 400. It is nearly three months since the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
distrubances, but even now a team of officers spends every day poring | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
over CCTV pictures to identify rioters. Stuart Flinders reports. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Some were arrested at home. Others were already in prison on other | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
charges when they were visited by the police this morning. It is | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
nearly three months since these violent disturbances, but the | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
availability of good quality CCTV means the list of suspects is | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
growing every day. Some of the material being viewed by a | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
dedicated team comes from councils and busiensses, some from private | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
individuals. People sent in footage from video | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
phones, from mobile phones. Members of a public? At yes, they have been | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
sending something. Nearly 400 arrests so far, nearly | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
200 court appearances. I think people will recognise, the | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
fire that you get away from it, the less chance you have of bringing | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
people to justice. This was one of the stores targeted | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
by rioters. It is no like nothing ever happened. But some of these | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
are only getting back to normal now. The Closed for five weeks, this | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
store had to be completely refitted. Sales staff were in the building | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
when the rioters burst in, wrecking not just the shop but their peace | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
of mind. About 30 or 40 people were in the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
showroom and what they could not steal they threw on the floor | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
maliciously. They were like animals. If you think about it too deeply | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
you could have nightmares of it, because when you see the CCTV | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
footage it is quite frightening. Still to come in North West | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
Tonight... The Government gives �25 million to | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
the Stanley Dock Warehouse. Cannot help tackle some of the worst rates | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
of unemployment and deprivation and the country? -- can it help? | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
And leaving other sports in their wake: speedboats return to Coniston | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
It was once an old tobacco warehouse and the biggest building | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
in the world. Today, Stanley Dock in Liverpool is all but derelict. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
But it is hoped �25 million of Government funding for the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
warehouse and the surrounding area could create hundreds of jobs. It | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
is another North West scheme to benefit from the Regional Growth | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
Fund - a fund which came under fire this afternoon in a row over panel | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
members receiving millions. Here's Stanley Dock - once part of | :11:09. | :11:18. | |
Liverpool's industrial heartland. Could it be once more? | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
�25 million from Government will unlock more private cash - �130 | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
million in total. It will mean an Albert Dock style regeneration to | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
support businesses are rounded. This is the first good news we have | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
had in Liverpool in decades. There were a line of docks, Tate and Lyle | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
and other companies, and this is just wonderful. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
This place was once heaving with industry. Tate and Lyle were here. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
British American Tobacco were here. Thousands of jobs. This money won't | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
just go to Stanley Dock, but the whole of North Liverpool and they | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
hope the area can become the economic heart of Liverpool once | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
North Liverpool has the highest rates of unemployment and | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
deprivation in the country. One in five young people are out of work | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
here. Today's news, they hope, will directly help them. | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
I am going to try and get a job, but there are no jobs, there is | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
just no jobs. Are you confident when you hear | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
things like this? Yes. It is a lot of money being put | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
in, especially for this part of the city. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Good news from the Growth Fund for an area that desperately needs it. | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
But today that fund came under attack in Parliament. One of the | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
recipients is co-owned by a member of the Growth Fund panel which | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
decides where cash goes. The company is Redx Pharma, based here | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
at Liverpool University. Tonight the Government said the panel | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
member had declared and interest The award-winning Accrington author | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Jeanette Winterson found fame with her first novel, written when she | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
was just 25. Oranges are Not The Only Fruit sold more than a million | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
copies, and won a BAFTA for the BBC Television adaptation. So it is | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
nothing but remarkable that as a child reading in her house was | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
frowned upon, and her adoptive mother would beat her and make her | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
sit on the doorstep overnight. Jeanette has written about her life | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
in East Lancashire in Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal?, and she | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
popped in to talk about it. She is a Pentecostal evangelist, | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
and she thought that sedition and controversial were fired by secular | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
influences. She did not want any secular influences in our house, so | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
we only had six books - the Bible and books about the Bible. Except | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
for one, the story of Arthurian legend, the Holy Grail and the road | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
table, and it excited me. It led me to the Accrington Public Library. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Mrs Winston always said, the trouble with a book is you never | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
know what is in it until it is too late. And she was right! She was | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
right about books. Printed matter does change things, it changed | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
things for me. Of course, adoption is in the news | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
this week for various regions -- reasons because the Government | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
wants to speed up the time it takes for adoption. What are your | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
feelings? Looking back, it was quite a difficult life for you end | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
his family when it was very strict and uncaring, in many ways. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
The North always is a bit more rough and ready. It was not that it | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
was uncaring, it is that you had to look after yourself. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
If you had to sit on doorsteps. Yes, Mrs Winston used to lock me | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
out. That is because at that as a - - that is why I told stories, | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
because when you're in an intolerable place the only place | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
you can call is in your head. If you have creativity, you can use | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
that, that is what I did. This was a woman who had a revolver and a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
draw. When she was angry she would get a revolver boat, and she was | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
really angry she would get the tenor of Polish out. She thought of | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
life as a pre- Death Experience. She would not get past Social | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Services now, but I think it was better for me to be in that warm | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
than in an institution. You have made a little film about | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
adoption, for the onshore!? Yes, it really dismays me that so | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
few children are doctored known. The rules are so strict. You're not | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
supposed to put black children with white parents, white children with | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
Chinese parents, it is crazy. Only around 60 kids were adopted in the | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
UK last year, which can't be right. Thank you so much, that is all we | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
have time for, but a pleasure to meet you. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
I used to read her novels when I was doing English literature at | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Lancaster and University. I have never read her books, but | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
she was Book Of the Week on Radio 4 this week and she talked about her | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
mum throwing her books out in the dark and setting them on fire. | :15:57. | :16:06. | |
Then she went on to sell millions Sport now, and it appears | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Manchester City might want Carlos Tevez as part of their future plans | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
after all. The striker was last week fined four weeks wages and | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
charged with five breaches of conduct - after his apparent | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
refusal to come on as a substitute in a Champions League game. Today | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
an Italian newspaper has quoted Manager Roberto Mancini as saying | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
that, if Tevez apologises to him and the City squad, everything will | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
be as before. City have flown out to Spain for | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
their crunch Champions League match at Villareal. Sergio Aguero is | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
likely to start up front, and he has today been nominated for the | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
World Footballer of the Year Award. Also on the 23-man Ballon D'Or | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
shortlist are Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, and the Manchester | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
United pair Wayne Rooney and Nani. United host Romanian side Galat in | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
the Champions League tomorrow night. Having recently faced critiscm, Rio | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :16:59. | ||
Ferdinand will start in the absence of suspended captain Nemanja Vidic. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
He needs to rely on his pace, he used to rely on his pace, but he | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
cannot do that, that is obvious. We have all faced that moment, | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
changing our game. He will do the same, he will be fine. | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Eight months to go until the London Olympics. Athletes from all sports | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
are preparing for winter training ahead of selection. On North West | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
tonight we're following six youngsters hoping to achieve that | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
Olympic dream. Between now and the games we will | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
be bringing the news of their training at whether things are | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
going to plan. Connect, our correspondent catches | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
up with our young gymnast. -- She's a world class athlete and an | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
A-level student. But in the mornings, Jennifer Pinches is just | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
a big sister. Because she has been doing it for | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
so long it is part of family life, since the boys were young we have | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
been going to competitions. It is quite moving, as a parent, to see | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
how much success she is having, but it is not by Locke, it is by hard | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
work. Each week Jennifer has to balance | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
45 hours training and travelling to her gym in Liverpool with 15 hours | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
in lessons, plus plenty of homework. You can always do your exams any | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
time in your life, you can do them again, but gymnastics, I can only | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
do this narrow. -- I can only do this now. | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
Jenny spent the week leading up to her GCSEs competing for our country | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
in Japan. I have been in Tokyo. | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
Seriously? Yes, at the World Championships! | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
The way it has worked his through technology. She keeps in touch with | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
their teachers through e-mail. We have been able to be flexible, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
because she is such a well- organised and intelligent young | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
woman. Thanks to a record breaking fifth | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
place at the World Championships, the British team will be at 2012, | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
but Jennifer faces an anxious wait. Five other girls will be taken to | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
compete in the Olympic Games, which is less than the six that competed | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
in the world championships, so the trials are going to be important | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
next year. Obviously, I am going to work really hard and if I get | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
selected it will be amazing. Well, if hard work is what is | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
needed, I challenge you to find an Olympian who is working harder. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
Either in the gymnasium or in the classroom. | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
I hope she does it when she goes to those trials. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Mind-boggling skills. After almost 30 years of serving | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
the Royal Navy around the world, next week HMS Liverpool returns to | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
British waters for the final time. #The Type-42 destroyer made on | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Merseyside is being replaced by a more modern ship. | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
Nina Warhurst spent five days at sea with HMS Liverpool as the crew | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
prepared for her return from Libya. And in the first of three special | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
reports from the Mediterranean she explains the role it played in this | :20:04. | :20:14. | |
:20:14. | :20:25. | ||
A 4.5 inch naval guns. This time used for a training exercise, but | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
during the war in Libya used against pro-Gadaffi's forces. | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
It has been a tough month for the crew on board HMS Liverpool, the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Type 42 destroyer made on Merseyside. It has played a role in | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
the Falklands, in Kosovo and in Iraq, and the summer in Libya she | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
was one of NATO's key warships and only eight -- and is only just | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
making her way home. A seashell give you that I -- an | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
idea of the capacity of the 4.5 inch gun and all were the cause of | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
the summer it shot more than 200 rounds. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
It is not the only Royal Navy warship being deployed off the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
coast of Libya, but she is unique in being the only one to be fired | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
that herself. The gunfire from Colonel Gaddafi's | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
supporters came within metres of reaching the ship, added one. Age | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
and his lovable spent more than five weeks at action stations, | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
meaning everyone was at war posts without a break and under fire. | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
I can't even explain it. You wait for a wrench to come in and that is | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
it, you are going to be dead. Below that, an intricate operation. | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Spotters let planes know the operations team will when to fire | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
and Wear. -- when and where to fire a. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
And further below deck, the men and women who had to keep the engine | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
running at full capacity, often at temperatures of up to 45 degrees. | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
When there is action, we have to work fast, turn the ship around, it | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
is loud. The guns are going, it is quite scary, but down here we have | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
not got a picture of what is going on of top. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
The patrol is a very long one, it was very stressful. There was a lot | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
of action, we were under significant threat and danger. We | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
had rounds landing close to the ship, and to have seen them | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
continue to keep coming back and produce the professional goods we | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
were asked to by NATO command is something the Navy and the nation | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
can be proud of. Now, after almost 30 years, | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Liverpool's mission to Libya will be her last. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
The issue can see, not much space... Tomorrow, we look at life on board | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
HMS Liverpool, and on Thursday we look back at her history ahead of | :22:56. | :23:06. | |

The tranquility of a quiet corner the Lake District is being broken | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
this week - but it is only for a few days. | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
Coniston Water has been synonymous with fast boats ever since the | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
world waterspeed record was set there in 1939. And this week the | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
lake is hosting the British Powerboat speed records event - as | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
Peter Marshall explains. This is one way of selling on | :23:28. | :23:38. | |
Is quite another. I collared exciting. A lot of | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :23:49. | ||
Ted Walsh is the fastest man alive on Coniston Water. Last year, he | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
averaged 147 mph. Later this week if the weather improves he will be | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
aiming for the 150 mph target. It is not for the faint-hearted. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
I think most people would find it quite alarming. It is a violent | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
piece of machinery, really. It is not like a pleasure boat. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
The board's hour to over one kilometre. They are all sizes and | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
all parlours, from 20 brake horsepower to 2,000 break | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
horsepower. In coming to Coniston with its | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:37. | ||
Bluebird legend, they came to their Obviously Coniston Water comes with | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
a lot of history. I have been asked to do do that -- to drive the | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Campbell Board when they get it put back together. It is an honour to | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
be involved with that project, and it is great to hold up the | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
traditions of record-breaking one Coniston. | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
It hits you in the middle of your chest, doesn't it? It is a roar | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
beyond anything else. Record Week concludes on Friday. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
Catch them if you can. You spend a lot of time under water, | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
haven't you? In your previous job you might yes, in Southampton. | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
I was fascinated by the sale boards and the power. | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
I have to let you into a secret, we were talking about Cinzano! | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
That shows our AG! That is the lake in Delamere Forest. | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
It is a stunning picture, if you have anything like it you can e- | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
mail us and we would love to see it. Today's weather was beatable, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
tomorrow's -- tomorrow gives us more cloud cover. That will be a | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
feature of through the next few days, winds being a feature, could | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
be gale-force for a time. At this time, quite a lot of clear weather, | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
sticking with us through the night, so some temperature -- saw some | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
parts of the region could see temperatures as low as five Celsius. | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
But, more cloud coming towards us in the early hours. That will boost | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
temperatures a little towards dawn. Temperatures should not fall below | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
five or six Celsius. Towards dawn some temperatures seen temperatures | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
of seven or nine Celsius. Tomorrow morning, some spells of sunshine | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
but the cloud will win through. Sunshine will peak at lunchtime, | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
after that the picture changes all over again. Predominantly cloudy, | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
but very windy. You can see the winds coming from the south, 25 mph | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
at any point in the day, but it will be dusting, touching gale- | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
force at times. A band of rain will work its way in towards teatime | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
throughout tomorrow night, wet and windy. Most of the model is usable, | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
you can get out and about, it should be dry all the way through | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
but the winds will be a big feature. Temperatures not so bad, 13 or 14 | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
Celsius. We must explain come up the only | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
reason we were mentioning that particular brand of drink is it | :27:31. | :27:36. |
