murdering a pensioner in Northern Ireland ten years ago is being | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
questioned by police. Norman Moffatt, who was 73, was stabbed as | :00:17. | :00:20. | |

Greater Manchester Police and has Workers at a Merseyside factory who | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
claim they have been unlawfully dismissed say they will protest | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
outside the gates until they get a fair deal. Their trade union is | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
taking legal action on their behalf against the Bootle company MMP - a | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
packaging firm which closed the factory earlier this year. Laura | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
Yates reports. Many here lost their jobs week ago | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
but they come here every day. Treated unjustly, they say, they | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
are determined to fight until the end. How long are you prepared to | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
stay out here? As long as it takes. We need a fair resolution for the | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
people who have been finished off by this company. Workers say they | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
were locked out of the factory which makes cereal boxes in the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
middle of February, without warning or explanation. Some redundancies, | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
they say, were expected, but many of those they claim were made | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
redundant without proper consultation. Many, like Terry, | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
have worked here for years. I am really angry and annoyed. The fact | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
is this is a viable company and a company that is making money. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
Others, like Allen, wonder how they will cope without work. I am | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
worried about paying bills. I have lost everything. I am worried about | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
whether rival lose my house. It is bad times at the moment. The United | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
unions say they are so appalled by the way workers have been treated | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
that they are taking the company to court. There is no notice period, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
consultation. We have a campaign for the work is at this site and we | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
will overturn this and bring the full force of the Union down to | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
make sure happens. We have tried to contact the company several time -- | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
ties were they have not return our calls. The case will now be heard | :02:18. | :02:28. | |

in court. The wife of a Lancashire man who died after being injured at | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
a London nightclub has described him as a perfect, son, husband and | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
father and says his death is utterly devastating. Father of two | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Philip Sherriff was hit with a bottle during a celebrity event at | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
the club last week and died last night. Police are treating his | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
death as murder and a 25-year-old man has been arrested. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
After a campaign spanning a decade, what's believed to be the country's | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
first "all lads" club has re-opened in Liverpool. The Florence | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Institute for Boys has undergone a �6 million restoration after it was | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
almost destroyed in a fire in 2005. Ruth Clegg reports. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
No pain, no gain, the motto drilled into the boys back in 1889, and | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
this belief has lived on in the walls of the club. It closed in the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
1980s and in 1999 was partially destroyed in an arson attack. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
was a wreck. There was no roof, it was burnt out and it was a dark | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
hole and now she is a shining light at night. 80-year-old Billy | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
Williams used to box at the club and he changed his family life. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
had to be here because there were so many things going on. There was | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
entertainment, trading, dancing in the hall. The club was built by -- | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
in -- the club was bought by Bernard Hall in memories of his | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
daughter Florence. What she could mean if she was serving the | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
community, was listening to their memories. There is something going | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
wrong in the area and we needed to do something, and this is the place | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
for that. And it has already started. Families enjoying Easter | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Sunday in the Old Hall. Perhaps a new beginning for the local mean a | :04:08. | :04:18. | |

Rugby league, and Warrington suffered a heavy defeat at Catalan | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Dragons this afternoon. It was the first time in three seasons that | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
they've had 40 points scored past them. Mickey Higham and Chris Riley | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
ran in first-half tries for Wire, and Brad Dwyer scored late on. But | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Warrington went down 44-16. Salford Warrington went down 44-16. Salford | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
lost at home to Hull KR by 18-0, Widnes were thrashed 38-4 by | :04:33. | :04:43. | |

Bradford and Wigan beat Wakefield A World War Two pilot who left �2 | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
million in his will to ensure military bands would play at a | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Wigan park had his dying wish fulfilled today. William Higham | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
wanted others to be able to enjoy music at the bandstand at his | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
beloved Mesnes Park, as he did in his childhood. Today, his family | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
officially opened the newly restored bandstand as Abbie Jones | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
The Greater Manchester Police Military Band. It was music like | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
this that William Higham loved. Now thanks to his generosity, | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
generations to come can share his passion. He had a great affinity | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
with the military, especially with the six brothers being in the air | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
force, army and the Marines. It just meant a lot to him. And I am | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
sure if he had been there he would have been in his element and | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
delighted. William was a pilot in the Second World War. But he was | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
also a businessman. He made millions through his floristry | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
company. When he died three years ago, he left �2 million to the | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust on one condition, that the money would | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
sit in a trust fund and the interest be used to ensure military | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
bands play at the Mesnes Park bandstand. He did say he would | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
leave the sum of money in the well, but not how much. We thought it | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
might be a few hundred or �1,000, we did not imagine anything on the | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
scale it turned out to be. before and could play here they had | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
to renovate the bandstand itself. William's bequest even paid for | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
this refurbishment. It is a wonderful legacy and I think he has | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
done a great thing for the people of Wigan. Fantastic. What a true | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
gentleman. Today, William's family officially opened the bandstand and | :06:24. | :06:33. | |
brought the music he loved back to Hundreds of people gathered in | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Preston today despite the rain to enjoy the annual Easter egg roll. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
The event held at Avenham Park is a tradition dating back centuries. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
This year is particularly special as it's the city's Guild Year, | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
celebrated every 20 years. And for some there was fun, even without an | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
:06:59. | :07:01. | ||
egg to roll. Not a great day for a No sunshine, and typical bank | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
holiday weather. Dahl, drab, wet and no sunshine. But for the week | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
ahead I can offer you something better. It is going to be unsettled, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
but we should see a fair amount of sunshine and plenty of April | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
showers. For this evening and tonight still plenty of rain around | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
and it is still fairly breezy and there are lots of cloud around. All | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
of these features will keep the temperatures well above freezing. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
For tomorrow, all change. Breezy, hopefully bright and that we will | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
exchange the rain for showers. These showers through the afternoon | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
will be heavy at times. Blustery in places were the key and westerly | :07:38. | :07:43. |
