:00:21. > :00:24.are convicted of murder. A jury accepts that Brian Regan was
:00:24. > :00:27.a cocaine courier but not a killer. Also in the programme:

:00:44. > :00:47.boost of confidence for Olveston and the wider community.
:00:47. > :00:50.We thought we were dead - a family's dramatic rescue after
:00:50. > :01:00.their car plunges into a canal. And showing their passion for
:01:00. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:06.Preston - the Easter spectacular to First tonight - he found fame as
:01:06. > :01:09.Terry Sullivan in the soap opera Brookside. Now, after spiralling
:01:09. > :01:12.into drug addiction the actor, Brian Regan, is behind bars for
:01:12. > :01:16.almost five years for lying to police about his role in a gangland
:01:16. > :01:20.killing. Regan was cleared of murder but three others were found
:01:20. > :01:30.guilty after a jury heard he drove the gunman to a pub where a bouncer
:01:30. > :01:33.
:01:33. > :01:42.was shot dead. Andy Gill reports. Brian Reading in happier days as
:01:42. > :01:46.Terry Sullivan, in Brookside he played for 14 years. But with fame,
:01:46. > :01:51.came cocaine addiction. A former colleague says glamour and crime
:01:51. > :01:56.often mix. Actors and gangsters, but some reason almost get off on
:01:56. > :02:01.each other. There is a strange attraction, it is a mutual
:02:02. > :02:10.attraction. I think the hard man gives the act of the kind of
:02:10. > :02:13.security out in a public space. And the actor gives the gangster kudos.
:02:13. > :02:19.Reagan started making deliveries and bagging up cocaine for his
:02:19. > :02:23.supplier. Last year, this man was shot dead outside a Liverpool pub.
:02:23. > :02:29.Brian Regan was charged with murder. The police say he was the getaway
:02:29. > :02:33.driver. His red Ford Escort was seen near the scene and CCTV
:02:33. > :02:38.tracked it across Liverpool last night. Police think this may have
:02:38. > :02:41.been so the gunman could collect the weapon. Brian Regan admitted
:02:41. > :02:46.driving the gunmen to the scene. But he said he had no idea what he
:02:46. > :02:51.had in mind. He parked some distance away and was snorting
:02:51. > :02:56.cocaine when the shooting happened. The jury believed him and clears
:02:56. > :03:00.him of murder. But in police interviews, he lied about where he
:03:00. > :03:04.was that night. He is now serving early five years for perverting the
:03:04. > :03:09.course of justice and drugs offences. I can only assume he was
:03:09. > :03:16.trying to give a legitimate reason for he and his vehicle to be in the
:03:16. > :03:21.area at the material time. gunman was convicted of murder, as
:03:21. > :03:27.was Simon Smart, who use a mobile phone to your the victim to the
:03:27. > :03:32.scene. Brian Regan said he lied because he was scared about what
:03:32. > :03:36.might happen if he talked. those years ago he was top of the
:03:36. > :03:39.tree and the world was at his feet. Because of cocaine he ends up
:03:39. > :03:43.behind bars. Next tonight - some much-needed
:03:43. > :03:46.good news on the local economy. of the world's largest drug
:03:47. > :03:51.companies is to pump hundreds of millions of pounds into a new plant
:03:51. > :03:52.in Cumbria, providing hundreds of new jobs. Ranvir has more.
:03:52. > :03:56.GlaxoSmithKline is the world's third largest pharmaceutical
:03:56. > :03:58.company and it's had a plant in the South Lakeland market town of
:03:58. > :04:08.Ulverston since 1948, contributing to the company's turnover last year
:04:08. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:16.of more than �28 billion. 240 people currently work at the site,
:04:17. > :04:18.manufacturing ingredients for antibiotics. Now, after seeing off
:04:19. > :04:23.competition from plants in Hertfordshire and Teeside that
:04:23. > :04:28.could more than double to 500. And, depending on the speed of obtaining
:04:28. > :04:36.planning consent, construction could start in 2014. Dave Guest has
:04:36. > :04:40.more. The Prime Minister meets the new
:04:40. > :04:45.generation of staff. McVeigh were in buoyant mood after hearing their
:04:45. > :04:49.company was to spend �350 million in expanding the site. This work
:04:49. > :04:53.force has been with us through thick and thin. I wanted to make
:04:53. > :04:59.sure we were investing in a community who had stood by the
:04:59. > :05:05.company so well. It is a massive dose -- vote of confidence. It is a
:05:05. > :05:08.boost for the wider community in the Investment it brings. It means
:05:08. > :05:13.South Lakes is a place small and large businesses can thrive and
:05:14. > :05:18.survive. This has been a part of the landscape since 1948 and makes
:05:18. > :05:23.the active ingredients for antibiotics. 30 years ago 5,000
:05:24. > :05:27.people work here. Now it is down to less than 250. The new investment
:05:27. > :05:32.won't bring the numbers up to anything like the good old days,
:05:32. > :05:37.but it should more than double the workforce on this site. It is part
:05:37. > :05:42.of investments worth �500 million. The company said they had been
:05:42. > :05:47.encouraged to invest in the UK known as -- thanks to a tax break
:05:47. > :05:51.known as the pattern box. incense advises us to not only
:05:51. > :05:56.discover the drugs in Britain, but make them in Britain. We will get a
:05:56. > :06:01.lower tax rate if we do more work in Britain. That concession was
:06:02. > :06:06.confirmed in yesterday's budget. The company are complimentary about
:06:06. > :06:10.the pattern box scheme, was its Aqua incidents they announce their
:06:10. > :06:15.investment today or was there some Prime Ministerial pressure on them
:06:15. > :06:18.to do that? I hope it is no coincidence because we have
:06:18. > :06:24.aggressively cut corporation tax, made Britain a more business-
:06:24. > :06:27.friendly country. Whatever the reasons for than Investment, the
:06:27. > :06:31.people of all this and are happy to see more money and jobs coming to
:06:31. > :06:36.the town. If we have more funds coming into the town, it is
:06:36. > :06:42.brilliant. Great for the town, great for the people in the town.
:06:42. > :06:45.Planning permission permitting, work should start in 2014.
:06:45. > :06:54.And Dave joins us live now from outside the plant. Dave, some good
:06:54. > :06:59.news on the jobs front finally? Work should start on the building
:06:59. > :07:04.in 2014 and another six years after that it is up and running. But
:07:04. > :07:08.other jobs will probably come to the area. What are you doing as an
:07:08. > :07:12.authority to make this happen as quickly as possible? It is clear
:07:12. > :07:17.the economy is one of the corporate priorities of South Lakeland
:07:17. > :07:21.council. As the planning authority we will make sure we will make this
:07:21. > :07:26.opportunity into a reality. So you won't stand in the way of them
:07:26. > :07:30.getting permission to build it? Certainly not, we will continue to
:07:30. > :07:34.work hard with them to make what is an absolutely incredible investment
:07:34. > :07:39.in the area come to life. Good news for the people who work at the
:07:39. > :07:43.factory, what about the wider impact on South Lakeland, briefly?
:07:43. > :07:48.It is clear to see over the coming years there will be a great deal of
:07:48. > :07:53.confidence, not just in this area, but within South Lakeland. This is
:07:54. > :07:59.an area people can come to an find high-value, good jobs and that is
:07:59. > :08:03.what we want to see. Thanks very much. The chief executive of South
:08:03. > :08:06.Lakeland District Council. For once we are outside a factory with some
:08:06. > :08:09.good news. The FIFA president, Sepp Blatter,
:08:09. > :08:13.has hailed Fabrice Muamba's recovery from a cardiac arrest as
:08:13. > :08:15."a miracle". The Bolton midfielder's heart stopped beating
:08:15. > :08:25.by itself for two hours after he collapsed during Saturday's game
:08:25. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:34.against Tottenham. Bolton play their first match since the
:08:34. > :08:39.incident against Blackburn this weekend.
:08:39. > :08:43.Chris McManus, from Oldham and an Italian colleague were murdered
:08:43. > :08:47.during an attempted rescue after being held captive by Islamist
:08:47. > :08:56.militants. The Foreign Secretary William Hague has been meeting his
:08:56. > :08:59.counterpart in Rome. Work started today on a temporary
:08:59. > :09:02.cruise liner terminal which will allow journeys to start and end in
:09:02. > :09:04.Liverpool. The baggage and customs building at Princes Dock will
:09:04. > :09:07.provide full turnaround facilities until 2015, with the first liner
:09:07. > :09:10.expected at the end of May. A government decision on a permanent
:09:10. > :09:13.facility is expected by Easter. And a former favourite on this
:09:13. > :09:16.programme, Stuart Hall, has received an OBE for his career in
:09:16. > :09:19.broadcasting, which stretches back 50 years. Stuart's also worked for
:09:19. > :09:29.ITV and says he has no plans to retire, comparing his physique to
:09:29. > :09:30.
:09:30. > :09:33.that of a Ferrari engine. Understated as always!
:09:33. > :09:36.A man who saved the lives of his passengers after driving his car
:09:36. > :09:39.into a canal has been describing the moment he thought he would
:09:39. > :09:42.drown. Nic Seddon, repeatedly dived into the Bridgewater Canal near
:09:42. > :09:46.Altrincham to rescue his parents and teenage nephew. The fire
:09:47. > :09:49.brigade arrived just in time to get Nic's mum to safety. But the family
:09:49. > :09:55.say police officers bound by health and safety rules, simply watched
:09:55. > :10:00.the family struggle. Stuart Flinders reports.
:10:00. > :10:03.Two days after the event, Nic Seddon relived the trauma today.
:10:03. > :10:11.This narrow stretch of road in Timperley is where he drove his car
:10:11. > :10:15.into the canal. His parents and teenage nephew were inside. When we
:10:15. > :10:19.tried the doors, that was not happening. At that point, I decided
:10:19. > :10:23.the only way out of it is me smashing my way out.
:10:23. > :10:26.Nic smashed his way out with a steering wheel lock then used bear
:10:26. > :10:32.feet to kick in the window where his dad was sitting. By then, he
:10:32. > :10:39.was exhausted and thought he would drown. I said to my dad, wait. I
:10:39. > :10:44.swam back to him but I had ran out of steam. It was like a two run
:10:44. > :10:50.with your swim in cold water. I look at his face and I thought I am
:10:50. > :10:54.going down. He grabbed me and held on to meet. I held on to the car
:10:54. > :11:00.and got my second breath back. did get his father and nephew to
:11:00. > :11:03.safety. Then there was his mother. She said, please get me out. I said
:11:03. > :11:06.he will be all right. As Nic struggled to rescue his
:11:06. > :11:09.family, he says police officers looked on from the canal bank
:11:09. > :11:14.waiting for the fire service to arrive. We were losing our temper
:11:14. > :11:17.saying help us. Why were they just watching? My dad thinks it is a
:11:17. > :11:20.health and safety. Greater Manchester Police say the
:11:20. > :11:23.fire service are officers specially trained in carrying out rescues in
:11:23. > :11:29.water. Police officers assisted the people who got out of the vehicle.
:11:29. > :11:37.A fireman finally rescued Nic's mother. I am not the hero, I save
:11:37. > :11:41.people who I love. That is what you do. A fire fighter does in an saved
:11:41. > :11:44.a completes -- stranger. Still to come on North West
:11:44. > :11:48.Tonight: Taking it to the wire - the late comeback that keeps City
:11:48. > :11:58.in touch with United. And the volunteers coming out in

:11:59. > :12:04.colour for the Preston passion. might be my last Preston Guild Hall,
:12:04. > :12:08.it is my 4th and next time I think I will be too old to join him.
:12:08. > :12:11.It was a brutal armed robbery that left a Manchester art dealer and
:12:11. > :12:15.his family traumatised. In 2007 Lowry expert, Ivan Aird, was tied
:12:15. > :12:21.up in his own home as robbers made off with more than �1.5 million
:12:21. > :12:24.worth of paintings. Well four years later they turned up as part of a
:12:24. > :12:26.surveillance operation in Liverpool, and today two men from Bootle were
:12:26. > :12:36.collectively sentenced to ten years in prison for their part in
:12:36. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:41.handling the paintings. Ivan Aird had grown up with Ellesse
:12:41. > :12:47.Larry coming round for tea and teaching him how to paint. He loved
:12:47. > :12:53.his that's friend and work hard to build up a collection of his work.
:12:53. > :13:02.In 2007 it led to a terrifying ordeal. I kept thinking about my
:13:02. > :13:07.daughter, the No 1 priority and my wife. I kept shouting, and they
:13:07. > :13:12.were threatening saying they would kill my daughter if I moved. More
:13:12. > :13:16.than �1.5 million worth of paintings were taken. Four years
:13:16. > :13:20.later they turn up in Liverpool and two day two men were sentenced for
:13:20. > :13:26.their part in handling the paintings. Kevin Marlowe from
:13:26. > :13:30.Bootle, also on drugs charges transport of the paintings and
:13:30. > :13:35.received 6.5 years. He collected them from Jered Starkey, also from
:13:35. > :13:40.Bootle. He had been storing them in his container and receive just over
:13:40. > :13:45.three years. The judge told the men I accept you did not know the
:13:45. > :13:49.violence circumstances in which the paintings were taken. But if you
:13:49. > :13:54.were organisers who facilitated viewers. I believe you knew they
:13:54. > :13:59.were original Lowry's and you knew they were very valuable. Happier,
:13:59. > :14:08.content. Just glad it is over and done with. And you are reunited
:14:08. > :14:13.with the paintings? Yes. They are in The Lowry centre now. There has
:14:13. > :14:16.only been one convictions for the gang who committed the robbery. The
:14:16. > :14:20.story of the stolen paintings, how they got to Liverpool and where
:14:20. > :14:23.they could have ended up remains an incomplete picture.
:14:23. > :14:26.Now, we've already had some good news on the local jobs front
:14:26. > :14:29.tonight and all this year North West Tonight is going to be
:14:29. > :14:33.tracking the economy - the good times and the bad through one town
:14:33. > :14:36.- Crewe in Cheshire. We've chosen it because it's a town like many
:14:36. > :14:39.others in the region. Over the next 12 months we'll follow the
:14:39. > :14:42.unemployed as they try to find work, speak to families feeling the
:14:42. > :14:46.squeeze and keep a close eye on businesses there doing what they
:14:46. > :14:55.can to survive and grow. Laura Yates is at a factory in Crewe to
:14:55. > :14:58.tell us more. Good evening. This is what's made
:14:58. > :15:03.here - the ice cream van. And it's actually the UK's biggest
:15:03. > :15:06.manufacturer. Been doing business here in Crewe since 1962, so 50
:15:06. > :15:10.years. And they tell me that right now things are thriving at the
:15:10. > :15:14.moment. More on that later but first let's have a look at some of
:15:14. > :15:19.Crewe's vital statistics shall we. Population - 50,520. The average
:15:19. > :15:25.income in Crewe - a very healthy �32,600 pounds. And the average
:15:25. > :15:31.house price is �132,873. But don't go thinking this is super wealthy
:15:31. > :15:33.area - it has its share of deprivation and low income too. The
:15:33. > :15:40.unemployment rate last year was 7.3% That's higher than the North
:15:40. > :15:48.West average. Two years ago Crewe had the highest average debts
:15:48. > :15:52.outside London �23,553. So here we are and we've gathered together a
:15:52. > :15:58.group of people who live and work here - who are going to help us
:15:58. > :16:08.track the economy over the next year. So let me introduce you to
:16:08. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:13.them. Out of work and out of luck. Chloe
:16:13. > :16:20.is 16, Joe is 18 and Laura is 16 and they have been rejected for a
:16:20. > :16:26.job at a job. I have looked for about a year. Every time I send a
:16:26. > :16:32.CV out, I don't get a response. Having a job keeps the day-to-day
:16:32. > :16:42.routine out alive and gets you something to get up for. There
:16:42. > :16:44.
:16:44. > :16:49.isn't anything to replace it with. Do you want that one there. Wayne
:16:49. > :16:54.and Toby are struggling. Not enough money coming in and too much going
:16:54. > :16:59.out. Saving is impossible and making ends meet hard. We are a
:16:59. > :17:09.family with just myself working. Fuel prices and food prices have
:17:09. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:14.gone up. It is incredibly difficult. While Phil is a brave man, he is
:17:14. > :17:24.taking the plunge and taking a risk, starting a business in tricky times.
:17:24. > :17:26.
:17:26. > :17:31.Are you mad? Probably, yes. Mad or brave. No, mad. And Sarah and Wendy
:17:31. > :17:36.are at the helm of the family business. It started small in a
:17:36. > :17:42.farmhouse kitchen. But it is now booming in a purpose-built factory,
:17:42. > :17:47.but can they take it global? We are talking to the US, China. We had
:17:47. > :17:52.just got a new wholesaler in New Zealand and an importer in Canada.
:17:52. > :17:56.This is our panel, they will be tracking the economy for us this
:17:56. > :17:59.year. We will learn more about each of the next week and see how they
:17:59. > :18:04.get on in the months and weeks to come.
:18:04. > :18:10.Let me also introduce you to the manager of this factory. They say
:18:10. > :18:14.things are going well into Times, or why is that? We produce a very
:18:14. > :18:19.special product and it encourages a lot of businesses to come to
:18:19. > :18:23.ourselves. Prices going up, it has affected do but you are keen not to
:18:23. > :18:29.push that on to your customers? Prices are going up everywhere and
:18:29. > :18:34.it is important we absorb as much as we can. Yesterday's Budget,
:18:34. > :18:38.lowering of corporation tax, something you welcome isn't it?
:18:38. > :18:43.great thing for business. Nobody has a magic wand. If we can do
:18:43. > :18:53.things step-by-step, slowly we can improve the economy. We would like
:18:53. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :18:57.to hear from you as always. It you live and work in Crewe, please e-
:18:57. > :19:03.mail us. I am sure she won't let those ice-
:19:03. > :19:08.creams go to waste. After what I have been doing today,
:19:08. > :19:13.I fancy an ice-cream. We will hear more about Roger has
:19:13. > :19:16.been doing, Lycra was involved. Football: The Manchester City
:19:16. > :19:19.manager, Roberto Mancini, says Carlos Tevez can play a crucial
:19:19. > :19:22.part in helping the team try and win the Premier League. The striker
:19:22. > :19:25.came off the bench to set up the winner against Chelsea to take City
:19:25. > :19:29.back to within a point of neighbours United at the top. Tevez
:19:29. > :19:34.had been in exile for six months after refusing to warm up during a
:19:34. > :19:40.Champions League match. With that and a bad night for Liverpool,
:19:40. > :19:45.here's Richard Askam. Better late than never seemed to be
:19:45. > :19:49.the feeling amongst the city faithful, as Carlos Tevez made his
:19:49. > :19:53.long awaited return. And with no problems with his warm-up or the
:19:53. > :19:59.manager's instructions, his late arrival of the bench had the
:19:59. > :20:03.desired effect. With a little over 10 minutes to go and Chelsea 1-0 up,
:20:03. > :20:08.sitting as a feared their title chances were slipping away. But
:20:08. > :20:14.after this equaliser, Tevez made his mark. Not with a goal but a
:20:14. > :20:19.clever pass which set up Samir Nasri. And he was very much back in
:20:19. > :20:23.the city fold. But not quite back in everybody's good books. It he
:20:23. > :20:26.makes the difference, he has already lost us the difference, we
:20:26. > :20:35.are out of the Carling Cup, Champions League and the Europa
:20:35. > :20:38.League. We have dropped 14 points. Welcome him back. Liverpool
:20:38. > :20:44.supporters were left scratching their heads after watching their

:20:48. > :20:52.defender! And a move that could have been finished several times
:20:52. > :21:00.before Kirk I'd put it in, but the Reds in charge. But at the poor

:22:16. > :22:22.would say it has been one of the best things that has ever happened
