:14:22. > :14:26.Environment Agency pumps millions of gallons of water into the sea
:14:26. > :14:29.every year. As you might expect, it is an expensive business, and for
:14:29. > :14:34.the first time, the agency is considering making the farmers
:14:34. > :14:39.themselves share the cost, as Stuart Flinders report, they say
:14:39. > :14:42.they can't and won't pay. Jim Goulding's family has farmed this

:14:52. > :14:56.station a few miles away. From here, the water is sent out into the
:14:56. > :15:02.report St. This costs the agency �700,000 a year and it is
:15:02. > :15:06.considering making farmers share the cost. We recognise this is an

:15:16. > :15:20.getting something out of this and therefore they should pay something

:15:40. > :15:45.did not pump the land, and there would have local people unable to
:15:45. > :15:49.be employed. We have come next door to give you some idea of what this
:15:49. > :15:54.area must have looked like before they started to reclaim the land
:15:54. > :15:57.for farming in the 17th century. All this water is great for wild

:16:20. > :16:23.seven points from 13 games, Blackburn Rovers. Now the leader of
:16:23. > :16:27.the council has written a letter to the club's Indian owners asking for
:16:27. > :16:31.a meeting. The Venkeys have been criticised by groups who claim it

:16:35. > :16:39.business. They also criticised a lack of to medication between the
:16:39. > :16:44.Venkeys and the local community. The council leader says the council
:16:44. > :16:53.-- club's problems could affect the committee. They have not responded
:16:53. > :16:56.to her letter, and she is not happy. I just want some answers. I have
:16:56. > :17:02.had no response, and we need to shame them into responding. Let us
:17:02. > :17:06.know what is happening, let us know the plans. Give the fans some hope.
:17:06. > :17:12.Or make alternative arrangements because we cannot go on like this.
:17:12. > :17:17.Do you mean leave the club? Absolutely. So, the Venkeys don't
:17:17. > :17:23.talk to the family -- council or the fans. And like a dog with a
:17:23. > :17:26.bone and they have not answered my calls. They have not responded to
:17:26. > :17:29.the council either, and they say all they want to do is mediate
:17:29. > :17:34.between the owners of the club and the people of Blackburn. Feelings
:17:34. > :17:39.are still running high in the town. Tomorrow, Rovers fans are due to

:17:47. > :17:51.manager Owen Coyles is under increasing pressure after seeing
:17:51. > :17:57.his side fall into the drop zone. Things could get even worse for him
:17:57. > :18:02.tomorrow because Wanderers are away to high-flying Spurs.
:18:02. > :18:07.It is five! I was here a few weeks ago just after Bolton thrashed
:18:07. > :18:10.Stoke City 5-0, and supporters were talking about that as being a real
:18:10. > :18:14.turning point. It has not worked out that way, so let's find out
:18:14. > :18:22.what they think about the current situation. We have just got used to
:18:22. > :18:30.losing. We just need a bit of a spur on. They need to do more. They
:18:30. > :18:33.need to get more money. If you have got championship players you will
:18:33. > :18:42.end up in the championship. don't think the players are good
:18:42. > :18:48.enough? Know. I think he is a good manager. We had first got to hang
:18:48. > :18:52.on in there. The statistics did make for easier reading. In 13
:18:52. > :18:58.Premier League matches, they have lost 10 and won just three. They
:18:58. > :19:04.have scored 19 goals, and conceded 31. The most in the top division.
:19:05. > :19:12.We need to turn that around. There is no better feeling in football
:19:12. > :19:17.when you win them and earned them. Tomorrow, they are playing a Spurs
:19:17. > :19:21.side to have won nine out of their last 10 league matches.
:19:21. > :19:25.Do you feel under pressure? Only the pressure I put myself under.
:19:25. > :19:32.They improved no end this -- last year, and we want to continue that
:19:32. > :19:40.improvements. That is my focus. Like supporters, he knows his side
:19:40. > :19:43.needs to rediscover that winning formula sooner rather than later.
:19:43. > :19:46.Preston North End are searching for a new chairman now that Maurice
:19:46. > :19:51.Lindsay has stood down due to ill health. The 70-year-old was

:20:22. > :20:29.do they have the same aim! Two boxers, two world title shots,
:20:29. > :20:35.one surname. It is live shaven -- life changing. This is what I have
:20:35. > :20:41.always dreamed of. Tonight, Martin will be fighting Felix just five
:20:41. > :20:45.days before another big date, his wedding. We are flying to the
:20:46. > :20:51.Caribbean and getting married over there. I am worried about a black
:20:51. > :20:57.tie for the wedding pictures. I have got tablets to help the
:20:57. > :21:01.bruising. I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow, lightweight John is
:21:01. > :21:06.looking forward to fighting Brandon at the Madison Square Garden in New
:21:06. > :21:09.York. It is what I have always dreamed of. I have been dreaming of
:21:09. > :21:13.this day since I was a little boy and it is finally here, and now the
:21:13. > :21:17.hard work and dedication has paid off. After losing for the first
:21:17. > :21:23.time in his last fight, he has decided less fast food is the fast-
:21:23. > :21:27.track to a world title. When I should have been going for runs, I
:21:27. > :21:31.was going too fast food outlets. I needed a good kick up the backside
:21:31. > :21:35.and this has given me a good chance to look at myself and correct my
:21:35. > :21:45.life. Both men are underdogs, but these to share something other than
:21:45. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:51.their surname - the bottle to be world champions.
:21:51. > :21:54.Finally, good luck to Fleetwood Town. They are hoping for a giant
:21:54. > :21:58.killing in the FA Cup tonight. They are taking on Yeovil who were two
:21:58. > :22:04.divisions above them. Town are in good form and have just gone top of

:22:11. > :22:14.Now, we are in Salford Quays, as if you had not guessed! All through
:22:14. > :22:21.this week we have been looking at the history of the area that is now
:22:21. > :22:26.our new home. Tonight, Abbie Jones completes our
:22:26. > :22:30.story. Let's join her outside on the piazza. We have had a history
:22:30. > :22:34.lesson and we have also looked at how we have got to this shiny
:22:34. > :22:37.modern development you can see sparkling around me tonight. But
:22:37. > :22:47.what to local people, the people of Salford, think this regeneration
:22:47. > :22:51.
:22:51. > :22:56.means to them? What do they think People visit the keys from around
:22:56. > :23:01.the world. 25,000 jobs have been created here, but do people down
:23:01. > :23:08.the road in Salford use it? Do they feel connected? It was like us and
:23:08. > :23:12.them, even though there was the same road, they were the posh
:23:12. > :23:16.people with money. That's what we all thought. At Salford Lads and
:23:16. > :23:23.Girls Club, there are mixed views. There's a lot of people I know of
:23:23. > :23:27.who never got a job there. There is some shopping there, which is great.
:23:27. > :23:33.It is pretty good. This year, for the second year
:23:33. > :23:37.running, the Lowry was named Greater Manchester's most popular
:23:37. > :23:42.tourist attraction. It has been adamant it wants local people to

:23:50. > :23:54.north-west now visit and study the keys. The council is adamant money
:23:54. > :23:59.generated here will be spent across the city. So, did Lisa changed her
:23:59. > :24:05.mind? We have done a survey on the estate were asking whether the job
:24:05. > :24:09.opportunities lie. Quite a lot of people said Morrisons because it is
:24:09. > :24:14.easy. They think they will get a job there because a lot of them
:24:14. > :24:17.have not got qualifications. A few set media city because there would
:24:17. > :24:20.be more opportunities. There is no reason why people from the local
:24:20. > :24:26.committee it should not be here working on the local side and
:24:26. > :24:31.driving it forward over the next few years. A century after the dogs
:24:32. > :24:35.first opened, the keys is thriving again. Only 10% has been built so
:24:35. > :24:40.far. The hope is it will grow to wars and with Salford and its
:24:40. > :24:44.residents. -- towards.
:24:44. > :24:48.Everyone behind the keys things it is important to remember its
:24:49. > :24:51.heritage to combine the old within you. The dockers who crafted to all
:24:51. > :24:55.those decades ago would find it amazing to know that the Larry
:24:55. > :25:03.behind we will be hosting the Royal Variety Performance on Monday. That
:25:03. > :25:11.is a treat to look forward to. We will not mention it again now!
:25:11. > :25:17.Let's have a look at the weekend I just want to look one more time
:25:17. > :25:24.at the view from our window. It is absolutely stunning. Through the
:25:24. > :25:28.night tonight, your picture is at showery and cool. Temperatures
:25:28. > :25:31.today reached nine degrees Celsius as an absolute maximum. Over the
:25:31. > :25:34.next couple of days they do gradually start to fall, and it
:25:34. > :25:39.really does feel like winter. We had the best of the are the first
:25:39. > :25:43.thing in the morning, and there are more to come as you go through the
:25:43. > :25:47.next couple of hours. Most of the region looks dry, but there is more
:25:47. > :25:51.rain waiting in the Irish Sea. That bridges across the region in the
:25:51. > :25:55.next couple of hours. Behind it, this is where the showers really
:25:55. > :25:58.start to dig in. They will turn up just about anywhere. The rain is
:25:58. > :26:02.associated with a weather front, but that is the last one we see
:26:02. > :26:06.through the weekend, so you would think it would be plain sailing.
:26:06. > :26:10.But the north-westerly wind will be picking up showers all the time.
:26:10. > :26:19.Last night we were down to zero and there was a frost for some parts.
:26:19. > :26:23.Tonight, because of the cloud cover the temperatures will stay up. On
:26:23. > :26:26.Saturday, not a huge amount of sunshine on that match. It will pop
:26:26. > :26:32.up every now and then, but the dominant feature will be patchy
:26:32. > :26:39.cloud and those showers which will turn up absolutely anywhere. Quite
:26:39. > :26:44.a strong wind, gusting to 45 miles per hour from time to time. I think
:26:44. > :26:50.the wind and showers will take the edge of the temperatures. Sunday,
:26:50. > :27:00.no great shakes either. Monday, down to four degrees Celsius.
:27:00. > :27:02.
:27:03. > :27:06.We like to have our finger on the pulse, but you are going one-star
:27:06. > :27:10.better than us if you have heard of this lady from Toxteth. She got to
:27:10. > :27:20.sing at the White House when they switch on the Christmas lights last
:27:20. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:32.She has just been nominated for two grannies. Hopefully we will catch
