:00:12. > :00:14.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight.
:00:15. > :00:17.One man and three youths are still being questioned over the Boxing
:00:18. > :00:20.Day murder of a student in Salford. It's understood that moments before
:00:20. > :00:24.Anuj Bidve's killer pulled the trigger, he had calmly asked the
:00:24. > :00:33.student for the time. Police are investigating a possible racial
:00:33. > :00:37.motive. His family say he was the first
:00:37. > :00:42.person you turn to when you needed help. Today, some came with flowers
:00:42. > :00:52.to express their shock at such a senseless unprovoked attack. Was
:00:52. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :01:00.the motive racial? A few of them had been asked the time. One of
:01:00. > :01:07.them told this by the time. The rest of the students, they said to
:01:07. > :01:14.me, they turned around and Anuj was on the floor. Racial motives is one
:01:14. > :01:19.line of inquiry. Police have closed down five houses whilst forensic
:01:19. > :01:24.examinations are carried out. Many locals are scared. I am not happy.
:01:24. > :01:30.There has been so many racial attacks in the past. It is shocking.
:01:30. > :01:35.His it is a random unprovoked attack. If it can happen for no
:01:35. > :01:38.reason, who else can it happen to? Anuj had been enjoying a Christmas
:01:39. > :01:43.night out with friends and had been looking forward to visiting the
:01:43. > :01:50.area. Today the council said this is an murder that has brought shame
:01:50. > :01:57.on Salford. We have had our crime, but nothing like this. Someone just
:01:57. > :02:04.shot someone for no reason. Anuj Bidve's family are expected to fly
:02:04. > :02:09.into the country tomorrow. They want to take Anuj's body home as
:02:09. > :02:14.soon as possible. Lancaster University, where Anuj Bidve was
:02:14. > :02:17.studying, will meet some of the repatriation cost.
:02:17. > :02:20.Tributes have been paid to an aid worker from Rochdale who was killed
:02:20. > :02:23.whilst on holiday in Sri Lanka. Kuram Zaman was attacked in
:02:23. > :02:25.Tangalle on Christmas Day. He was on leave from his work for the
:02:25. > :02:28.International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza.
:02:29. > :02:31.A man has died after being stabbed in the back at a Rochdale nightclub
:02:32. > :02:34.early on Christmas Day. John Lee Barrett from Harpurhey was at a
:02:34. > :02:37.private party at Sinclair's Bar. He died yesterday in hospital.
:02:37. > :02:39.Injured soldiers are being helped on the road to recovery by student
:02:40. > :02:42.engineers from Lancashire. Dozens of apprentices took part in a
:02:42. > :02:45.challenge run by BAe Systems and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
:02:45. > :02:55.Birmingham to come up with gadgets to help heal physical and mental
:02:55. > :02:57.
:02:57. > :03:01.scars. Potentially, if somebody had the ability to move their arms,
:03:01. > :03:05.they could manage to things like shaving, washing their face and
:03:05. > :03:08.aspects of their personal care. It may seem that the small thing to
:03:08. > :03:18.you and I, but for someone who has had so much taken away from them,
:03:18. > :03:19.
:03:20. > :03:22.it is a huge benefit. Luis Suarez will miss Liverpool's
:03:22. > :03:25.home match against Newcastle on Friday after admitting making an
:03:25. > :03:28.offensive gesture to Fulham fans earlier this month. He was given a
:03:28. > :03:31.one match ban and fined �20,000. The Uruguayan striker already has
:03:31. > :03:33.the prospect of an eight-match ban hanging over him after being found
:03:33. > :03:36.guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
:03:36. > :03:38.Football fans from the red and blue halves of Liverpool have joined
:03:39. > :03:42.forces to launch plans for a new regeneration project based on
:03:42. > :03:51.soccer. It's called The Football Quarter and the idea is to use the
:03:51. > :03:56.Liverpool and Everton brands to bring in investment and jobs.
:03:56. > :04:02.In football history, north Liverpool is rich. In economic
:04:02. > :04:08.terms it is poor, very poor. It has the 6th highest unemployment in the
:04:08. > :04:15.country and in some of the areas, life expectancy is 15 years less
:04:15. > :04:24.than some of the leafy suburbs down south. Today at Liverpool Museum
:04:24. > :04:32.and the Football Quarter was launched, using the football
:04:32. > :04:36.clubs's international appeal. clubs will be anchors for
:04:36. > :04:41.regeneration in the area. If the area is nicer to walk around and
:04:41. > :04:44.there is more to do on none match days, more people will come and
:04:44. > :04:49.spend their money. Among see practical ideas put forward there
:04:49. > :04:53.are plans for an outside exhibition area and better transport to bring
:04:53. > :04:58.visitors on the city centre. The big question is, who is going to
:04:58. > :05:02.pay for all of this? Liverpool council is backing the idea and the
:05:02. > :05:07.organisers say it is important to get land deals done. If that
:05:07. > :05:12.happens then private investors will be keen. Once the land deal is put
:05:12. > :05:16.together, developers will want to get a piece of the action. They
:05:16. > :05:24.have not put a figure on how much money they will need. The clubs are
:05:24. > :05:29.studying plans which don't include a ground share.
:05:29. > :05:39.He is never far from controversy, accidentally setting fire to his
:05:39. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:57.flat, bus-stops and -- bust ups and arguing with his manager.
:05:57. > :06:07.He was kind and generous. He stood there and took photographs with
:06:07. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:14.different people. He did good and that is what Christmas is about.
:06:14. > :06:19.And now for the weather. After two or three days of
:06:19. > :06:25.temperatures in double figures. It has changed. Temperatures are down
:06:25. > :06:30.to single figures and it has been blustery. A very windy day, which
:06:30. > :06:38.is not surprising. Look at this - we have had tight isobars which
:06:38. > :06:48.have brought the strong winds. Tomorrow, still quite windy and we
:06:48. > :06:55.
:06:55. > :06:59.have a yellow warning from the Met Office tonight. These strong winds
:06:59. > :07:06.will be bringing with them blustery showers, so if you are out and
:07:06. > :07:12.about, do take care. The showers will be driven in by that blustery
:07:12. > :07:22.westerly wind. We may also see some hill slope. By dawn, the showers
:07:22. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:35.will turn into longer spells of rain. Tomorrow, at the brain will
:07:35. > :07:39.hang around throughout the morning. A grey day with lot of cloud. The
:07:39. > :07:44.occasional bright spot. Still disappointing temperatures. A cold
