:00:04. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and

:00:08. > :00:11.Annabel Tiffin. Our top story... Murdered by his kidnappers in

:00:11. > :00:17.Nigeria. Tributes to the "likeable, sociable and professional" Chris

:00:17. > :00:20.McManus. We did not want him to leave. So we are all devastated to

:00:20. > :00:24.hear this. Chris died when an attempt to

:00:24. > :00:28.rescue him ended in tragedy. We'll be live in Oldham.

:00:28. > :00:33.Also tonight... Going to the chapel. A Unitarian church becomes the

:00:34. > :00:38.country's first religious venue to offer civil partnerships.

:00:38. > :00:43.The DIY X Factor. Rebecca Ferguson visits the housing charity where

:00:43. > :00:51.work brings rewards. At the moment, charity starts at home for me. And

:00:51. > :00:55.Liverpool has been so good to me. And David's decade. Moyes clocks up

:00:55. > :01:05.ten years at Everton. But could he be tempted by the lure of a bigger

:01:05. > :01:13.

:01:14. > :01:18.club? Any talk of any other clubs, A model student who was building a

:01:19. > :01:21.promising career. A keen traveller. An Oldham Athletic fan. That's the

:01:21. > :01:26.picture emerging of Chris McManus, murdered after being held hostage

:01:26. > :01:29.in Nigeria. Chris, whose family live in Royton near Oldham, died

:01:29. > :01:33.when a rescue attempt involving British and Nigerian forces failed.

:01:33. > :01:43.Today, those who knew him have been paying tribute. Stuart Flinders is

:01:43. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:53.in Royton for us now. Chris McManu's family live in this

:01:53. > :01:56.estate. They have lived with his disappearance for ten months.

:01:56. > :02:02.They've had the uncertainty of not knowing what would happen to Chris

:02:02. > :02:07.since he was captured last May. He and an Italian colleague were both

:02:07. > :02:11.killed in an attempt to rescue them Guitarist, Formula 1 fan, Oldham

:02:11. > :02:14.supporter, according to his CV. When chartered surveyor, Chris

:02:14. > :02:21.McManus, was apprenticed to a firm in Bolton, they were reluctant to

:02:21. > :02:24.let him go. We tried hard at all levels to make him stay. He

:02:24. > :02:30.qualified here, so he was very much a team member. We wanted him to

:02:30. > :02:34.stay. We left his job open for two years when he decided to leave.

:02:34. > :02:39.Chris went to school in Royton. He got 11 GCSEs and three A-Levels. He

:02:39. > :02:45.left a decade ago, but staff here remember him fondly. It has come as

:02:45. > :02:51.a shock. It is a very sad time. He was very popular with his peers and

:02:51. > :02:57.with the staff and very fondly remembered. And did very well?

:02:57. > :03:02.well, achieving very well and going on to university. But really, at

:03:02. > :03:06.the moment, our plots are primarily with the family at such a sad time

:03:06. > :03:09.and they are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Chris McManus

:03:09. > :03:13.was working as a contractor in the north west of Nigeria when he was

:03:13. > :03:17.taken hostage. His captors released a video of him with fellow detainee

:03:17. > :03:21.Franco Lamolinara. The Prime Minister authorised an attempt by

:03:21. > :03:25.British and Nigerian forces to release them, but they were killed.

:03:25. > :03:28.Chris's family chose not to speak directly to the media. But in a

:03:28. > :03:32.statement, they said they were confident everything that could be

:03:32. > :03:38.done was being done during his ten month ordeal.

:03:38. > :03:42.You will be aware from the national news that there is a bit of a spat

:03:42. > :03:47.between our and Italian governments in terms of how that rescue attempt

:03:47. > :03:52.was done. Chris's family said in a statement, we were aware of the

:03:52. > :04:01.people trying to get Chris returned. We would like to thank all of them

:04:01. > :04:04.for their efforts. Stuart Flinders, thank you.

:04:04. > :04:07.The family of one of the six soldiers killed in Afghanistan on

:04:08. > :04:12.Tuesday has paid tribute to him. A book of condolence has opened for

:04:12. > :04:15.Sergeant Nigel Coupe. The 33-year- old from St Anne's served with the

:04:15. > :04:20.1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. This tragedy

:04:20. > :04:29.has left two little girls without a daddy. A loving wife with no

:04:29. > :04:37.husband. A sister with no brother. A mum and dad with no son. A family

:04:38. > :04:41.which a broken heart. Nigel would be touched by all the

:04:41. > :04:45.support we are getting from family friends and the British Army in

:04:45. > :04:48.which he loyally served. I also have no doubt in my mind he will be

:04:48. > :04:52.proud of our children and the way in which they have dealt with his

:04:52. > :04:56.untimely death. Our eldest daughter Ella said, Daddy is a star now.

:04:56. > :05:00.Everyone who knew Nigel would know he has always been a star. The only

:05:00. > :05:03.difference is now he is shining in a different place.

:05:03. > :05:10.The issue of gay weddings in churches has been in the headlines

:05:10. > :05:13.this week. Tonight, the news that a chapel in Manchester is to become

:05:13. > :05:16.the first place to effectively, they say, offer just that. Cross

:05:16. > :05:19.Street Unitarian Chapel has been granted a licence to conduct both a

:05:19. > :05:22.religious ceremony and the legal same-sex civil partnership in the

:05:22. > :05:26.same venue. It is thought to be the first religious venue in the

:05:26. > :05:28.country to offer the service. We are joined now live from the chapel

:05:28. > :05:37.by Reverend Jane Barraclough. Thank you for cocky to us this evening.

:05:37. > :05:43.Why have you decided to do it? -- thank you for talking to us.

:05:43. > :05:48.seemed like a natural extension of the work we have already done.

:05:49. > :05:53.controversial? It is amongst the religious right, not amongst

:05:53. > :05:57.religious liberals. The religious right get all the headlines, when

:05:57. > :06:03.some of us are tried to carry on been decent, human communities,

:06:03. > :06:11.including people. Do you worry about not a backlash, but by the

:06:11. > :06:17.reaction you are likely to get from certain sections of the Church?

:06:17. > :06:21.wake it up, making your choice. We have decided to do this. We are an

:06:21. > :06:26.inclusive church. It would be strange for as not to do it. We

:06:27. > :06:32.have to live with the consequences. We thought about it, our committee

:06:32. > :06:39.discussed it, doing that on a long time. But for us, this is not a big

:06:39. > :06:45.drum up. It is part of our every delight., because you are saying

:06:45. > :06:52.this will be done up under one roof, are you effectively offering a gay

:06:52. > :06:59.wedding? Effectively, yes, but legally, we cannot all further up -

:06:59. > :07:02.- we cannot offer a gay marriage is. It will be a civil ceremony. It

:07:02. > :07:05.will be the civil signing of document patient. The registrar

:07:05. > :07:15.will come to her mac building and do that, which was not possible

:07:15. > :07:17.

:07:17. > :07:21.before. What have the congregation said? Is the key Minty are in

:07:21. > :07:27.favour and we are celebrating. -- the Cook -- the committee are in

:07:27. > :07:32.favour. You were the first to have women ministers are in your church.

:07:32. > :07:38.Now that is common in the Anglican church. Do you think other charges

:07:39. > :07:43.will follow suit? I hope so. We have no agenda to make other

:07:43. > :07:47.denominations take this on. This is about religious liberty. We

:07:48. > :07:52.consider we have the right to have these services in our churches and

:07:52. > :08:02.chapels. If other denominations choose not to, that is their

:08:02. > :08:02.

:08:02. > :08:06.business. It makes me sad. I was just going to say that I am sad

:08:06. > :08:12.about all the homophobic rhetoric in the press right now. It gives

:08:12. > :08:17.religious people are really bad name. In one word, have you had

:08:17. > :08:22.much interest? We had one pre- booked before legislation had gone

:08:22. > :08:29.through. We have not done any advertising, which we will do. I

:08:29. > :08:34.hope people feel free to come here and have a religious ceremony.

:08:34. > :08:37.grateful for your time, the Reverend Jane Barraclough, from the

:08:37. > :08:40.Cross Street Unitarian Chapel in Manchester.

:08:40. > :08:44.An air accident inquiry is underway after a plane crash landed in the

:08:44. > :08:47.Isle of Man. The undercarriage collapsed as the flight from Leeds

:08:47. > :08:53.landed at the island's Ronaldsway Airport. When it skidded off the

:08:53. > :08:58.runway last night, 12 passengers and two crew not injured.

:08:58. > :09:05.A lucky escape for passengers, looking back at do craft the

:09:05. > :09:11.managed to walk off. We get the run week with a big fat, sparks were

:09:11. > :09:16.flying. -- with a baked crash. I thought we were going to turnover,

:09:16. > :09:23.then it flipped back and we went on to the grass. Luckily, we got out

:09:23. > :09:28.the back. You can just about see it behind me at the airport. It landed

:09:28. > :09:34.last night and be carriage under the collapsed, leaving it to skid

:09:34. > :09:40.across onto the grass. It is business as usual today. All 12

:09:40. > :09:46.passengers and two crew walked off safely. It was operated on behalf

:09:46. > :09:52.of a company based in the Isle of Man. It said this type of aircraft

:09:52. > :09:59.has a good track record. It was one of the most frightening experiences,

:09:59. > :10:05.I am still seeing it. I wasn't going to try and get out because of

:10:05. > :10:15.the sparks. The craft will be held and the investigation is continuing

:10:15. > :10:18.to find out what caused this to happen.

:10:18. > :10:22.Moors murderer Ian Brady will have his mental health tribunal held in

:10:22. > :10:25.public on Monday the 9th of July. Brady wants to be released from

:10:25. > :10:30.Ashworth Hospital in Sefton, where he is held under the Mental Health

:10:30. > :10:34.Act. The hearing will be at the hospital and people will be able to

:10:35. > :10:38.watch it via CCTV at the Civil Justice Centre in Manchester.

:10:38. > :10:42.Mistakes at a forensic laboratory mean a Manchester rape case is to

:10:42. > :10:47.be reopened. It has emerged that a DNA sample was contaminated in the

:10:47. > :10:50.laboratories of a company called LGC Forensics. It led to a man

:10:50. > :10:53.being wrongly accused of the attack which happened in Blackley last

:10:53. > :10:58.October. Greater Manchester Police are reviewing of some their

:10:58. > :11:01.investigations where the same company was used. We spoke to the

:11:01. > :11:05.forensic regulator about a review to be undertaken in relation to

:11:05. > :11:09.that particular sample and other samples. I must stress, at the

:11:09. > :11:13.moment, this is one isolated case. As tragic as it is, this is one

:11:13. > :11:19.case. We will wait for the Home Office and forensic regulators to

:11:19. > :11:24.give us that review. An old mill in Oldham has turned

:11:24. > :11:27.its entire roof into a solar- powered generator. It is not only

:11:27. > :11:32.cutting the energy bills of the company based there. It is making

:11:32. > :11:35.them money. But will the government's plan to cut the

:11:35. > :11:37.subsidies for solar power take the shine off a power source that's

:11:37. > :11:40.good for business and the environment?

:11:40. > :11:45.Baum Trading designs, imports and distributes clothing. It works out

:11:45. > :11:50.of Devon Mill in Oldham. Heating and lighting this five-storey, 100-

:11:50. > :11:56.year-old building eats money. costs are going up all the time. I

:11:56. > :12:00.am paying �25,000 roughly a year in electricity. I have a resource on

:12:00. > :12:06.the roof. He's right. The roof is a big resource. It is big enough to

:12:06. > :12:10.house more than 600 solar panels. The panels also earn money. He has

:12:10. > :12:14.paid for every kilowatt produced using a feed-in tariff, organised

:12:14. > :12:19.by the Government, but with cash from the Government. The scale of

:12:19. > :12:25.the scheme means the Feed-In Tariff should generate up to �35,000 a

:12:25. > :12:31.year. On top of that, surplus energy generated here and fed back

:12:31. > :12:36.into the National Grid should bring in another �3,500 from his energy

:12:36. > :12:41.supplier. But the Feed-In Tariff payments will be lower or newt

:12:41. > :12:47.installations, because of changes ordered by the Government.

:12:47. > :12:52.tariff has been reduced. It is still a viable commercial project.

:12:52. > :12:59.Do you see yourself as someone tried to convert more businesses?

:12:59. > :13:02.am hoping other businesses will take up these opportunities.

:13:02. > :13:08.with so many former mill buildings, with so many acres of roof space,

:13:08. > :13:18.David believes this region could lead a solar-powered revolution.

:13:18. > :13:20.

:13:20. > :13:24.Not a lot of sun there. Sunshine all this helps.

:13:24. > :13:27.That was a mill using solar panels to power itself. Well, a long time

:13:27. > :13:30.before solar panels or fears over global warming, water power was the

:13:30. > :13:32.future. In Stockport, they have just excavated what was, in the

:13:32. > :13:36.1700s, the world's biggest water wheel. It powered a six-storey

:13:36. > :13:40.mille employing 500 workers. Our Environment Correspondent Colin

:13:40. > :13:44.Sykes has been to take a look. With just hours to go before the

:13:44. > :13:49.opening, there's still work to be done. This was the site of Samuel

:13:49. > :13:53.Oldknow's magnificent Mellor Mill. 400 feet long and six storeys high.

:13:53. > :13:58.He diverted the River Goyt to power his water wheel, the largest in the

:13:59. > :14:02.world. The water would have come in at the top here. It would have

:14:02. > :14:10.driven the water wheel down and exit through the tunnel I am facing

:14:10. > :14:15.now. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1892. But the pit for the wheel

:14:15. > :14:19.is being painstakingly restored. have something functioning two

:14:19. > :14:23.years is tremendous. And to this sort of standard of work. This was

:14:23. > :14:27.an age where, if I was building a house, it was going to be better

:14:27. > :14:31.than your house. And my mill would be better than your mill. There was

:14:31. > :14:35.that competition going on between entrepreneurs. We tend to think of

:14:35. > :14:39.technology being a new thing. But back in 1792, when this opened,

:14:39. > :14:43.this really was the biggest in the world. But it would only be a

:14:43. > :14:48.matter of time before it was overtaken. Oldknow was one of the

:14:48. > :14:52.great entrepreneurs of his age. must have been able to get people

:14:52. > :14:56.to work for him. To work very hard for him. And people to lend him

:14:56. > :15:01.money. He had several partners that came and went. And he spent, spent,

:15:01. > :15:11.spent. There is still much work to be done here, but with a huge

:15:11. > :15:11.

:15:11. > :15:17.effort, the history of the site is slowly coming back to life.

:15:17. > :15:21.That is an excavation job and a halt -- and a half. A lot of power

:15:21. > :15:24.there. Sport now. And Tony, a bad night

:15:24. > :15:27.for both Manchester teams in the Europa League, particularly for

:15:27. > :15:32.Manchester United? Yes, this cheeky back-heel goal by Xandao meant City

:15:32. > :15:36.were beaten 1-0 at Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. But the real shock of

:15:36. > :15:39.the night was United losing 3-2 at Old Trafford to Athletic Bilbao.

:15:39. > :15:44.Bilbao are only fifth in the Spanish League, but they outclassed

:15:44. > :15:48.United for large parts of the match. Wayne Rooney put United ahead in

:15:48. > :15:51.the 22nd minute. But Bilbao equalised with a great header. In

:15:51. > :15:54.the second half, the Spanish side scored another two, both of them

:15:54. > :15:58.controversial. De Marcos appeared to be just offside when he finished

:15:58. > :16:01.off a brilliant move. Two minutes from time, Patrice Evra was

:16:01. > :16:05.penalised for kicking the ball without his boot on. Never seen a

:16:05. > :16:09.free kick given for that before, but it was. And seconds later,

:16:09. > :16:14.Bilbao scored their third goal. Just before the final whistle,

:16:15. > :16:18.United were awarded a penalty. Rooney kept his cool and scored.

:16:18. > :16:21.The upshot is that, in the second legs of these ties next week,

:16:22. > :16:26.United and City both need to win by two clear goals. This is what the

:16:26. > :16:33.managers had to say. An uphill fight for us, obviously. The

:16:33. > :16:43.question is can we win the match? I think we can. We do not think we

:16:43. > :16:44.

:16:44. > :16:50.deserved to lose this game. Maybe we did not play very, very well.

:16:50. > :16:57.With the chance to score, we consider it so-so.

:16:57. > :17:05.Against the need to go away and score? And players need to tie

:17:06. > :17:08.their shoelaces. Now one of the managers Fergie most

:17:08. > :17:11.admires, his fellow Scot, David Moyes is about to celebrate ten

:17:12. > :17:14.years in the hot seat at Everton. Experts like Fergie say Moyes has

:17:15. > :17:16.worked miracles at Goodison Park given the club's lack of cash. And

:17:16. > :17:19.as next week's anniversary approaches, there's speculation

:17:19. > :17:22.Moyes could be head-hunted by a richer club.

:17:22. > :17:27.One day, they'll build a statue to David Moyes at Goodison Park. It

:17:27. > :17:31.can only be made of one thing. Rock. Everton had only finished in the

:17:31. > :17:34.top half of the Premier League once before he arrived. During the last

:17:34. > :17:37.decade, they've done it seven times. There are some really experienced

:17:37. > :17:41.managers who are managing on and still going and doing it

:17:42. > :17:45.unbelievably well. I hope that there is a lot more to come for me.

:17:45. > :17:49.I hope there is more development. And I have to say, I hope there is

:17:49. > :17:51.the chance I might win some trophies along the way. Moyes is

:17:51. > :17:54.the third longest-serving manager in football behind Sir Alex

:17:54. > :17:58.Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. That's even more remarkable when you

:17:58. > :18:02.factor in fan unrest over the lack of cash afforded him by the board.

:18:02. > :18:06.He is a first class manager. And he has that grittiness and

:18:06. > :18:09.determination that has allowed Everton to be in there all the time.

:18:09. > :18:15.No matter how many players he has had injured, he has always produced

:18:15. > :18:18.a team that represents the club very well. With no big bucks, the

:18:18. > :18:23.Scot has had to nurse countless new generations like Jack Rodwell and

:18:23. > :18:25.Seamus Coleman. Oh, and someone else, too. Although Rooney's sale

:18:25. > :18:29.to Manchester United remains a constant reminder that the

:18:29. > :18:33.manager's nuggets may always have to be for sale. Nevertheless, he's

:18:33. > :18:38.not been tempted by links to top six sides. Yes, of course you hear

:18:39. > :18:44.it. I would be lying if I did not say I did not hear or see it. But

:18:44. > :18:49.Everton have been great to me. They gave me that chance when I was

:18:49. > :18:52.young. Any talk about any other clubs, I do not want to hear about

:18:52. > :18:58.it. After a decade, the gaffer worries his players think he's

:18:58. > :19:06.mellowed with age. How will that affect the average Moyes match day?

:19:06. > :19:08.Not much we hope. Well done today it, a remarkable

:19:08. > :19:12.achievement. Premier league fans are familiar

:19:12. > :19:15.with Super Sunday. Well, for those in the relegation fight, welcome to

:19:15. > :19:23.worry weekend. Second-from-bottom Bolton are at home to QPR, who are

:19:23. > :19:26.only two points above them. Rock- bottom Wigan travel to Norwich.

:19:26. > :19:28.Blackburn are offering their fans free transport and a free pie if

:19:28. > :19:31.they travel to the Midlands for tomorrow's game against Wolves.

:19:31. > :19:35.Rovers are currently trying to sign the former Dutch international Bolo

:19:35. > :19:38.Zenden. We are confident we have made a good case for what we want

:19:39. > :19:44.to do, how he will fit in, the dynamic in the dressing room, or

:19:44. > :19:49.what we need from him. I'm sure he left much more positive than when

:19:49. > :19:52.he came. Jeff Whitley tasted the glory of

:19:52. > :19:55.playing professional football for his beloved Manchester City and

:19:55. > :19:59.winning promotion. But his career was ruined by drink, drugs and

:20:00. > :20:02.gambling. He's since rebuilt his life, and now he warns young

:20:03. > :20:06.players about the temptations which he fell prey to. Jeff delivers his

:20:06. > :20:12.message through the League Football Education Programme.

:20:18. > :20:24.Instead, he is telling you to teams about how he lost his career and

:20:24. > :20:31.nearly his life to alcohol and cocaine. I went weeks and weeks not

:20:31. > :20:37.being sober. Just completely on another planet. I was trying to

:20:37. > :20:40.kill myself and waking up and braying to die. Then waking up and

:20:40. > :20:46.thinking, how can you still be alive when you have abused your

:20:46. > :20:52.body? It was until four years ago, with his career in tatters, that he

:21:17. > :21:21.this... All but three years, hundreds of youngsters have had

:21:21. > :21:24.this about the potential pitfalls of life as a professional

:21:24. > :21:29.footballer. It is only recently that ex-professional have come

:21:29. > :21:35.forward to tell their story. This is something I wish I had as a

:21:35. > :21:39.player. And I am delivering it knout. Just hearing about how many

:21:39. > :21:46.goals he has scored, and the consequences behind the scenes, it

:21:46. > :21:50.opens your eyes. It is best to come from another professional.

:21:50. > :21:56.matter what these youngsters a cheap, this could be the most

:21:56. > :22:02.important 90 minutes of their careers.

:22:02. > :22:05.Good stuff. More of the region's swimmers have qualified for the

:22:05. > :22:08.Olympics during this week's National Swimming Championships.

:22:08. > :22:12.James Goddard came second in the 200 metres medley after leading

:22:13. > :22:15.most of the way. But his time was good enough to qualify. And

:22:15. > :22:21.Southport's Fran Halsall won the 100 metre freestyle in the fastest

:22:21. > :22:25.time she's ever achieved in a British pool. The 21-year-old is

:22:25. > :22:34.now ranked number one in the world for that event. Amazingly, she said

:22:34. > :22:41.she was disappointed because she can go faster.

:22:41. > :22:45.You can hear some Super League action tonight.

:22:45. > :22:51.Back to Manchester United. When your team is up against it in

:22:51. > :23:00.Europe, can it get worse? It did for Alex Ferguson yesterday when he

:23:01. > :23:07.tried to make a substitution of. Watched the electronic board. Right

:23:07. > :23:16.on his shin. I got that would be amusing. We hope his leg is all

:23:16. > :23:20.right if he is watching. Thank you, Tony.

:23:20. > :23:23.House building isn't a very glamorous business. But it was

:23:23. > :23:27.today when X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson dropped in to a house in

:23:27. > :23:30.Liverpool. She was there to lend her support to a charity that helps

:23:30. > :23:32.people buy their own homes by getting them to build them. Instead

:23:32. > :23:34.of paying a deposit, potential homeowners put in hours of work

:23:35. > :23:38.shifting bricks or shovelling cement.

:23:55. > :23:59.A year and half ago, Rebecca was unknown. Now she has a critically-

:23:59. > :24:03.acclaimed album and sell-out shows. But she wants to help out good

:24:03. > :24:09.causes in her home city. At the moment, charity starts at home for

:24:09. > :24:14.me. And Liverpool has been so good to me. I am focusing on Liverpool

:24:14. > :24:23.charities for the first year, then I will move on. I have such an

:24:23. > :24:26.attachment to my home city, I wanted to get back, really. -- give

:24:26. > :24:30.back. Rebecca visited Julia Walimbwa's home. Julia helped build

:24:30. > :24:35.her own house. It's how the charity helps people who otherwise couldn't

:24:35. > :24:40.afford their own home. It was difficult, but the joy it is you

:24:40. > :24:44.have something and have benefited from a hard work. The Territorial

:24:44. > :24:48.Army are building the new road. The charity says there's big need for

:24:48. > :24:54.affordable homes here. The housing stock in the City, there is a lot

:24:54. > :24:59.of poor, derelict housing. There were over 2000 derelict properties

:24:59. > :25:04.at one time. It is brilliant, giving people hope and pride as

:25:04. > :25:09.well, pride in their own worth. Rebecca's was a flying visit. She's

:25:09. > :25:15.singing at the Philharmonic Hall this weekend.

:25:15. > :25:19.I've thought she was going to be up a ladder painting. How to look

:25:19. > :25:26.glamourous in that jacket. And all was looking glamourous, here is the

:25:26. > :25:36.weather. Can I say to Alex Ferguson at I was the only one not laughing?

:25:36. > :25:40.

:25:40. > :25:45.It is really quiet weather-wise. Quiet, mild, up but it is fairly

:25:45. > :25:52.cloudy. Not constantly, but fairly cloudy. That is thanks to this high

:25:52. > :25:58.pressure. Up until about Tuesday or Wednesday, we can predict this high

:25:58. > :26:03.pressure will stick around, keeping weather fronts out of the way. It

:26:03. > :26:08.is not a bad picture. A weak weather front makes it way across

:26:08. > :26:13.the region tonight and first thing tomorrow. Some spots of drizzle in

:26:13. > :26:21.the forecast, particularly for parts of Cumbria. For many, it is

:26:21. > :26:26.just quiet, cloudy, some mist a possibility in the early hours. But

:26:26. > :26:32.temperatures are good tonight. Very mild, between 8 and 11 Celsius

:26:32. > :26:40.along the coast. Into Saturday. The weather and comes down, dying out

:26:40. > :26:45.all the time. Some drizzle in parts, but for most, a cloudy picture,

:26:45. > :26:52.resembling today. This that I could come out every now and then,

:26:52. > :26:57.feeling quite pleasant. -- the sun it could come out. When not causing

:26:57. > :27:04.any problems. Temperatures tomorrow do not rise that much from

:27:04. > :27:10.overnight values, because the air is so warm. It could get to 13 or

:27:10. > :27:14.14. Temperatures could creep up with an hour of sunshine.

:27:14. > :27:20.Temperatures continuing to be quite good in to Sunday. Nothing really
