:00:04. > :00:06.Tonight with Annabel Tiffen and Roger Johnson. Our top story. Two

:00:06. > :00:16.earthquakes and warnings over greenhouse gases, but drilling for

:00:16. > :00:18.

:00:18. > :00:21.shale gas can resume. It is such an unpredictable process. It really is

:00:21. > :00:23.an unknown quantity. Fracking gets the go-ahead subject

:00:23. > :00:26.to new safety measures. Also in the Programme:

:00:26. > :00:30.Failing to care for Amelia. A scandal-hit hospital apologises to

:00:30. > :00:33.the parents of a newborn baby who died there.

:00:33. > :00:43.Bringing shame on their families. A father's disgust at his daughter's

:00:43. > :00:44.

:00:44. > :00:48.role in this fast-food fracas. I heard what had been happening, it

:00:48. > :00:51.was of disgust, disappointed in there, particularly.

:00:51. > :00:53.An accident waiting to happen. A court's told how a crane collapsed

:00:53. > :01:03.and paralysed its driver. And preparing for showtime. The

:01:03. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:14.volunteers who'll bring this huge Last year it caused two earthquakes

:01:14. > :01:17.and widespread concern among some environmentalists. Today, experts

:01:17. > :01:22.said the controversial process of drilling for shale gas in

:01:23. > :01:25.Lancashire should be allowed to continue.

:01:25. > :01:29.An independent panel has given the green light provided new safety

:01:29. > :01:32.measures are put in place. Fracking, as it's known, could result in huge

:01:32. > :01:39.quantities of natural gas. But what is it? Here's our Environment

:01:39. > :01:43.Correspondent Colin Sykes. A bore hole is sunk into the rock

:01:43. > :01:46.at incredible depths, up to 9,000 feet. Then water and lubricants are

:01:46. > :01:50.forced down the pipeline at high pressure to fracture the rock and

:01:50. > :01:54.release the gas in the shale. With the water pumped out, the gas flows

:01:54. > :01:57.back up the pipeline for the next 20 years or so. It's estimated

:01:57. > :02:05.there's around 200 trillion cubic metres of gas in the shale, enough

:02:05. > :02:11.to supply the UK for several years. The aftermath of drilling for gas

:02:11. > :02:15.op farmland around Blackpool. Once the drill rig has gone. All that's

:02:15. > :02:24.left is the gas well-head. Exploratory drilling had been

:02:24. > :02:28.taking place for the past two years but stopped after the earth tremors.

:02:28. > :02:32.We are trying to put into place a mechanism of monitoring that allows

:02:32. > :02:37.us to see very small earthquakes very early in the process to take

:02:37. > :02:42.some remedial action. If that is done properly, I think we should be

:02:42. > :02:49.able to prevent larger earthquakes happening. This is an

:02:49. > :02:55.unconventional well. This is not new, this well head is still

:02:55. > :03:01.producing gas. But new techniques means the reserves are increasingly

:03:01. > :03:06.attractive. This was the last phase of the testing, but we are very

:03:06. > :03:10.optimistic. We know there is an enormous amount of gas here and

:03:10. > :03:15.this last phase of the programme is to determine how much we get out of

:03:15. > :03:25.the commercial rate. We hope we will know later this fall and have

:03:25. > :03:30.

:03:30. > :03:34.an announcement. Market day in the village of Poulton. It was here the

:03:34. > :03:43.two tremors were felt last year. am not sure if they are doing

:03:43. > :03:48.enough to make sure that people are safe. The problem with cracking is,

:03:48. > :03:52.it is such an unpredictable process. It really is an unknown quantity.

:03:52. > :04:00.It is deep down beneath the surface of the Earth. For that reason, it

:04:00. > :04:03.is something we cannot possibly predict precisely. The report's

:04:03. > :04:09.findings goes out to public consultation with the ruling before

:04:09. > :04:13.the end of the year. There are concerns about this, how

:04:13. > :04:17.will the Government to address these concerns? This has been very

:04:17. > :04:21.controversial in the States and some developers have been under

:04:21. > :04:26.regulated so the Government is very anxious to get this right. What

:04:26. > :04:29.will happen after this report, there will be a consultation period

:04:29. > :04:33.for six weeks were local residents' groups and bodies will have the

:04:33. > :04:36.chance to have their say and then this is highly regulated so the

:04:36. > :04:41.Environment Agency at the Health and Safety Agency and Lancashire

:04:41. > :04:44.County Council, they will have their say, and it is only after

:04:44. > :04:47.that process that the Government will finally make a ruling on

:04:47. > :04:55.whether it will allow the extract some. A long way off being definite

:04:55. > :04:58.yet. A hospital at the centre of

:04:58. > :05:01.investigations into its maternity unit has apologised to the parents

:05:01. > :05:04.of a baby girl who died hours after being born there. Amelia Jade Bower

:05:04. > :05:10.died at Furness General Hospital after being admitted twice

:05:10. > :05:13.following her birth by an emergency caesarean. The hospital admitted

:05:13. > :05:15.the standards of its paediatric care hadn't been good enough. Our

:05:15. > :05:24.Health Correspondent Nina Warhurst has been following the first day of

:05:24. > :05:28.her inquest in Barrow and joins us now.

:05:28. > :05:32.She was less than one day old when she died because her breathing was

:05:32. > :05:39.lost by a form of waste that is not uncommon in the stomach of a young

:05:39. > :05:43.baby. Today questions about how and why this happened. Solicitors

:05:43. > :05:47.representing her mother asked why when the substance was seen in our

:05:47. > :05:52.waters when they broke, when there were problems with her heart, why

:05:52. > :05:57.Kelly had been left alone for 15 minutes and why it took 90 minutes

:05:57. > :06:01.for a Caesarean section to be carried out? Today, and number of

:06:01. > :06:05.nurses and midwives to found to their behaviour in court and said

:06:05. > :06:10.that no point was Kelly neglected. A hospital maintains that no

:06:10. > :06:15.mistakes were made before the best, but today they have apologised,

:06:15. > :06:21.what did they apologise for? That apology was far paediatric

:06:21. > :06:26.treatment after her birth. We heard from this lady, she was the

:06:26. > :06:30.paediatric registrar in charge of resuscitating Amelia. She was asked

:06:30. > :06:34.if it was appropriate to begin resuscitation before the substance

:06:34. > :06:39.was removed. There were questions raised about its X-rays should have

:06:39. > :06:43.been carried out sooner and if Amelia should have been transferred

:06:43. > :06:47.to intensive care in Manchester or Liverpool because her breathing was

:06:47. > :06:50.that bad. Tonight, the trust offered their unreserved apologies

:06:50. > :06:54.for standards of paediatric treatment that Emilia received.

:06:54. > :07:01.They say that their hearts go out to the family as they know how

:07:01. > :07:06.difficult this last year has been. Regular viewers will know that a

:07:06. > :07:12.hospital and the broader trust that runs Furness General Hospital is

:07:13. > :07:16.struggling to rebuild itself, how well this impact? There is an

:07:16. > :07:20.ongoing investigation into a number of deaths at Furness General

:07:20. > :07:23.Hospital connected to this maternity ward and no doubt be Care

:07:23. > :07:28.Quality Commission will keep an eye on what happened here at the end of

:07:28. > :07:33.the inquest. It is expected to conclude on Thursday and we expect

:07:33. > :07:36.to be re- number of recommendations from the coroner. Thank you.

:07:36. > :07:42.The police are trying to trace teenagers who brought terror to a

:07:42. > :07:44.fast food restaurant in Wigan. More than a hundred besieged the

:07:44. > :07:47.McDonald's outlet, abusing staff and stealing food. The father of

:07:47. > :07:51.one of those involved has told BBC Northwest Tonight he's disgusted by

:07:51. > :07:56.the actions of his daughter. But he says, she at least is truly sorry

:07:56. > :08:00.for what she did. Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story.

:08:00. > :08:03.A baying mob terrorise staff at a McDonald's Restaurant. Some jump

:08:03. > :08:13.over the counter while others shout abuse. These images have been

:08:13. > :08:17.viewed by tens of thousands on the internet. It is a bit of a shock to

:08:17. > :08:20.the system, and I heard they had so much trouble there. What can I say?

:08:20. > :08:23.It is just ridiculous. These students at Wigan and Leigh College

:08:23. > :08:27.share the sense of outrage. They say the pictures show a minority

:08:27. > :08:35.who've brought shame on the majority of young people. We are

:08:35. > :08:39.nice people! It is not like that would use all there! Mike Donal

:08:39. > :08:42.said they are appalled by the deplorable behaviour seen here.

:08:42. > :08:46.They say staff were given full support to do with the shock of

:08:46. > :08:51.what happened. The council says it's determined to help track down

:08:51. > :08:53.those involved. We had been working Kisii with schools and head

:08:53. > :08:58.teachers and we have identified eight of the perpetrators and are

:08:58. > :09:02.working with the police to take action against them. The staff were

:09:02. > :09:10.terrified and we need to take positive action and arrest those

:09:10. > :09:18.involved and they can expect to spend some time in a police cell.

:09:18. > :09:23.This man's 15-year-old daughter was involved. I was disgusted with her.

:09:23. > :09:25.She was prescribed anti-depressants. We contacted the doctor that

:09:25. > :09:31.describe the mounties said this could have been a contributing

:09:31. > :09:34.factor to her behaviour. He says his daughter has written to

:09:34. > :09:41.restaurant staff to apologise. He hopes others involved in this will

:09:41. > :09:45.also be made to face up to their actions.

:09:45. > :09:48.More than 200 jobs are under threat, with plans to close a dairy on

:09:48. > :09:52.Merseyside. The supermarket milk supplier Dairy Crest wants to shut

:09:52. > :09:57.its plant in Aintree. The company says the market for liquid milk is

:09:57. > :09:59."extremely challenging". Its contract to supply Tesco ends in

:09:59. > :10:02.July. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust has

:10:02. > :10:05.failed to comply with two major national targets, according to the

:10:05. > :10:08.independent health watchdog Monitor. In the last nine months the trust

:10:08. > :10:14.failed to ensure that 95% of Accident and Emergency casualties

:10:14. > :10:16.waited no more than four hours for treatment. It also missed the 18-

:10:16. > :10:21.week target for treating 90% of in- patients after they've been

:10:21. > :10:24.referred by their GP. A caretaker from Liverpool who

:10:24. > :10:28.systematically abused young boys over a 30-year period has been

:10:28. > :10:30.jailed for 13 and-a-half years at the City's Crown Court. The judge

:10:30. > :10:36.branded 69-year-old Austin Kelly from Staffordshire Close in Everton

:10:36. > :10:39.a "depraved and predatory" paedophile. The court heard that

:10:39. > :10:41.for three decades from the late 1960s Kelly had continuously and

:10:41. > :10:49.systematically groomed and abused young boys who were all aged under

:10:49. > :10:52.An appeal has been launched to raise �50,000 to buy the Furness

:10:52. > :10:58.Hoard of Viking treasure - so it can go on permanent display in

:10:58. > :11:00.Barrow. The silver coins and ingots were found near the town. It's

:11:00. > :11:06.changed thinking about 10th century history as it suggests Furness was

:11:06. > :11:09.ruled by the Vikings - not English kings - at the time.

:11:09. > :11:12.A court has been told that the collapse of a crane in Liverpool

:11:12. > :11:15.city centre almost three years ago was "an accident that was waiting

:11:15. > :11:18.to happen." Two construction companies deny breaching health and

:11:18. > :11:22.safety laws in connection with the accident which left the crane

:11:23. > :11:27.driver paralysed. Laura Yates reports.

:11:27. > :11:33.July 2009. A 200 tonne crane topples onto an apartment block in

:11:33. > :11:37.Liverpool City Centre. It was said by the prosecution today to be "an

:11:37. > :11:40.accident that was waiting to happen". The crane was liable to

:11:41. > :11:44.collapse at any time. The prosecution say that was because

:11:44. > :11:49.the foundations of the crane were not strong enough. That they had

:11:49. > :11:51.been incorrectly calculated. There was another mistake too in the

:11:51. > :11:54.crane's construction and that between them the two defendants -

:11:55. > :12:03.engineer and contractor - had made a complete mess of it and its

:12:03. > :12:07.foundations. In court today to hear that evidence was the man seriously

:12:07. > :12:16.injured in the accident. Ian Gillham, the crane's driver, was

:12:16. > :12:20.flung from its cab and paralysed from the waist down. The court was

:12:20. > :12:23.told today that he was in no way to blame for the accident. In a

:12:23. > :12:27.statement read out, he said he remembered nothing of that day -

:12:27. > :12:29.only going to bed the night before and then waking up in hospital four

:12:29. > :12:32.weeks later. Both companies, Bowmer and Kirkland Ltd and Bingham Davis

:12:32. > :12:42.Ltd deny breaching health and safety laws. The trial is expected

:12:42. > :12:43.

:12:43. > :12:46.to last for three weeks. Still to come on North West Tonight.

:12:46. > :12:53.Heading for safety - how Wigan outgunned the Gunners for their

:12:53. > :12:59.latest big-name scalp. They had been fighting for this for ages.

:12:59. > :13:05.Reine brilliant, the best thing to ever happen. -- really brilliant.

:13:05. > :13:12.And still spinning yarns. The Cheshire couple whose lives revolve

:13:12. > :13:15.around a thousand-year-old tradition.

:13:15. > :13:18.Voters in Liverpool are starting to receive a booklet containing the

:13:18. > :13:22.election addresses of all 12 people wanting to become the city's first

:13:22. > :13:25.mayor. But two of them have complained that the council has

:13:25. > :13:28.stopped them from saying what they wanted to. So what did they want

:13:28. > :13:31.voters to know? Our political editor Arif Ansari has been finding

:13:31. > :13:35.out. Four of the candidates were on

:13:35. > :13:40.Radio Merseyside today - their views unfiltered. But two already

:13:40. > :13:43.feel censored by the very organisation they want to control.

:13:43. > :13:47.One of the quirks of a mayoral election is that councils deliver a

:13:47. > :13:50.booklet containing the views of each candidate. But here in

:13:50. > :13:55.Liverpool, the council hasn't liked what all the candidates wanted to

:13:55. > :13:57.say. The Liberal candidate Steve Radford was stopped from referring

:13:57. > :14:07.to the council's call centre Liverpool Direct as Liverpool

:14:07. > :14:14.Misdirect. People who lack candidates should be allowed to say

:14:14. > :14:19.what they think and the style they think. Particularly for the job but

:14:19. > :14:23.they may are a councillor, it is about how you express yourself and

:14:23. > :14:25.how will you go about your business. While socialist Tony Mulhearn was

:14:25. > :14:28.advised not to refer to the council's Labour leadership, the

:14:28. > :14:34.property developer Peel Holdings or to use the word "infest" to

:14:34. > :14:41.describe NHS privatisation. you're using particular phrases

:14:41. > :14:46.that you encapsulate what you mean, I say, defining the health service,

:14:47. > :14:50.and you were not allowed to use a particular phrase, I think that is

:14:50. > :15:00.undermining the impact of the messages were determined to convey

:15:00. > :15:03.to the electorate. The council says it's: "provided supportive advice

:15:03. > :15:05.to the candidates to make sure the wording they provide is in keeping

:15:05. > :15:08.with the rules laid down in government legislation". But as

:15:08. > :15:12.hailstones hit the town hall, one expert said he was concerned.

:15:12. > :15:16.very unusual and I find it quite worrying that the returning officer

:15:16. > :15:19.has the power to suggest or determine what the candidate is

:15:19. > :15:21.allowed to say in their election address. But it's certainly given

:15:22. > :15:26.the candidates' words much more prominence than they could have

:15:26. > :15:29.hoped for. And there's a full list of

:15:29. > :15:38.candidates standing for mayor on our website:

:15:38. > :15:40.www.bbc.co.uk/liverpool. Football now - and after a tricky

:15:40. > :15:43.spell in which the manager's position was called into question,

:15:43. > :15:47.Wigan moved closer to Premier league Safety last night with their

:15:47. > :15:52.latest big name scalp. The Latics followed up their first ever win

:15:52. > :15:55.over Manchester United with a 2-1 win at Arsenal. Now Manager Roberto

:15:55. > :16:01.Martinez is challenging his players to match that intensity in their

:16:01. > :16:03.final four matches, as Paresh Patel reports.

:16:03. > :16:08.Wigan's second goal ensured an historic victory over Arsenal last

:16:08. > :16:17.night. It takes the Latics five points clear of the relegation zone

:16:17. > :16:21.much to relief of fans. It was really brilliant. The best thing

:16:21. > :16:27.that has ever happened to the town. I was so proud of them last night,

:16:27. > :16:30.they had been fighting this for ages. They have turned it around.

:16:30. > :16:33.Earlier in the season Wigan lost eight matches in a row and were hot

:16:33. > :16:36.favourites for relegation. But on the back of last week's historic

:16:36. > :16:39.victory over Manchester united - The Latics came to the Emirates

:16:39. > :16:43.praying for a second miracle. Their previous nine visits to third

:16:43. > :16:46.placed Arsenal had all ended in defeat. So with a break on the wing

:16:46. > :16:49.- and that prayer - against all odds - Franco Di Santo nonchalantly

:16:49. > :16:53.fired Wigan ahead after just seven minutes. Ninety seconds later

:16:53. > :16:56.Lifgtens struck again. Well Jordi Gomez scrambled a second. Wigan

:16:56. > :16:59.played with belief and pounding hearts- But Arsenal used their

:16:59. > :17:04.heads - Tomas Vermallin making it 2-1. In the second-half the Gunners

:17:04. > :17:10.expected onslaught for an equaliser misfired. Astonishingly, Latics

:17:10. > :17:14.battled on to claim their fourth victory in five games. We need to

:17:14. > :17:17.have the same intensity and the same meaning that we have had today

:17:17. > :17:22.in the next games so that we are ready to approach the next fixtures

:17:22. > :17:25.with that urgency, knowing they are big finals. Wigan's last four

:17:25. > :17:27.matches include Blackburn away an Wolves at home both in the

:17:27. > :17:37.relegation zone. Victories for Latics would almost certainly ensue

:17:37. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :17:42.survival in the top flight. A great result for we get him.

:17:42. > :17:44.-- for Wigan. Now this weekend, thousands of

:17:44. > :17:48.people will be jogging round the capital in the London Marathon.

:17:48. > :17:52.Plenty of exercise for most of us, but not for one North West Tonight

:17:52. > :17:55.viewer from Manchester. Raza Barkatali has spent the last week

:17:55. > :18:01.running more than 150 miles across the Sahara desert in temperatures

:18:01. > :18:07.nudging 53 degrees. He's survived, not totally unscathed, and I'm

:18:07. > :18:12.delighted to say that he joins us now.

:18:12. > :18:19.Why did you do this? It was something I always wanted to do. I

:18:19. > :18:25.had the opportunity to do it, it was a good opportunity to do the

:18:25. > :18:33.race but raise money for charity. How much did you raise? About

:18:33. > :18:37.�11,000. A terrific effort, it was a very famous, well known marathon,

:18:37. > :18:43.but unbelievably tough, I would imagine? Yes, now just a physical

:18:43. > :18:48.thing, it pays with your head as well. You have to carry on without

:18:48. > :18:53.food, your water is ration each day and it is very tough. Quite often

:18:53. > :18:58.you're on your own with nobody else around. Yes, the group splits up,

:18:58. > :19:03.so you have elite athletes that sprint off and the rest of us are

:19:03. > :19:06.left at the back, so you could be running for many hours and you Rome.

:19:06. > :19:12.I said that he did not come away totally unscathed, you possibly

:19:12. > :19:17.fractured her ankle? Yes, on the marathon staged, coming down to the

:19:18. > :19:25.last six miles, I twisted my ankle but the adrenalin was pumping.

:19:25. > :19:31.carried on running? About seven miles. The last day was I say, only

:19:31. > :19:36.10 miles, but by then, if you drop out, you do not get anything.

:19:36. > :19:39.is not exactly the lap of luxury were you staying in between the

:19:39. > :19:46.stages, we have got some pictures of the villagers were you state,

:19:46. > :19:51.basically sleeping in a tent under the stars. Yes, about eight or nine

:19:51. > :19:58.days, and you have to make your own food, carry Rome food, cooked

:19:58. > :20:03.around food. You have to carry everything you own way? Yes, what

:20:03. > :20:11.is in here now is my sleeping bag and basically cooking utensils.

:20:11. > :20:19.Earplugs? You could be next to somebody snoring. There were a few

:20:19. > :20:25.people that snored! What would you say was the hardest bit? The first

:20:25. > :20:30.day was the hardest bit, I attempted, I was vomiting, it was a

:20:44. > :20:50.How many people finish it? people finished, around 35 people

:21:01. > :21:04.Fahrenheit in my day. Yes, they staggered the start so that when

:21:04. > :21:08.you start the race you're in the middle of the hottest part of the

:21:08. > :21:13.day. Last year you run the London Marathon dressed as a woman, this

:21:13. > :21:19.year if you ran in the desert, what next? I was going to do the London

:21:19. > :21:28.Marathon this Sunday, but because of Bangkok, I end up doing it. --

:21:29. > :21:31.because of my ankle. How do you follow that?!

:21:32. > :21:34.The UK's biggest street theatre event is going to be held in

:21:34. > :21:37.Liverpool this weekend and as well as professional artists it will

:21:37. > :21:40.involve more than two hundred volunteers from Merseyside. Sea

:21:40. > :21:45.Odyssey will feature a thirty foot high giant girl roaming the city on

:21:45. > :21:48.a quest to find news about her father, a stowaway on the Titanic.

:21:48. > :21:50.The volunteers have been recruited to fill a number of important jobs

:21:50. > :21:55.in the production and this afternoon they gathered for a

:21:55. > :21:59.briefing. Naomi Cornwell joined them.

:21:59. > :22:02.From all parts of Liverpool and all walks of life - 200 people turned

:22:02. > :22:12.up today to give their time and enthusiasm to Liverpool's Sea

:22:12. > :22:13.

:22:13. > :22:20.Odyssey. My name is Maureen McCarthy. IMA Liverpool club in

:22:20. > :22:22.Basseterre. My name is Brenda and I was a civil servant. The huge

:22:22. > :22:25.performance will see giant marionettes roam Liverpool, telling

:22:25. > :22:31.their story to an audience of a quarter of a million people lining

:22:31. > :22:36.the city's streets. And these volunteers will play a big part.

:22:36. > :22:40.Some people will be pulling the giant a long, some people will be

:22:40. > :22:45.clearing the path for the giants and some people will be clearing

:22:45. > :22:48.the path with blue T-shirts. We have people that will be giving a

:22:48. > :22:52.special welcome to the city. Between them, the giant marionettes

:22:52. > :23:02.will cover a distance of 23 miles around Liverpool. Jim will be among

:23:02. > :23:04.

:23:04. > :23:08.those on crowd control. It is fantastic. We just like doing it.

:23:08. > :23:12.Liverpool used to have a bad name, but since 2008, we have come to the

:23:12. > :23:15.front. And some have even travelled from overseas to volunteer. Their

:23:15. > :23:22.enthusiasm is contagious, with just three days until the Sea Odyssey

:23:22. > :23:27.begins. The programme will be there live at

:23:28. > :23:34.6:30pm from Liverpool on Friday. That is made three days to not call

:23:34. > :23:38.them a pop at! It is a marionette! The ancient craft of hand spinning

:23:39. > :23:40.has all but died out. But - at one home in Cheshire - the thousand

:23:41. > :23:45.year-old tradition continues with life revolving around spinning

:23:45. > :23:48.wheels. The Bryants are the UK's leading authorities on the craft.

:23:48. > :23:51.And now they've been given the ultimate job - to restore a wheel

:23:51. > :24:01.made by one of the country's greatest craftsmen. Kate Simms went

:24:01. > :24:04.

:24:04. > :24:09.to meet them. Val Bryant knows how to spin a yarn.

:24:09. > :24:16.Her husband can breathe new life into old wheels, and theirs is a

:24:16. > :24:22.marriage in spinning will have them. Spinning is relaxing and fun, Bic

:24:22. > :24:26.has I can produce a thread that has made into a garment. For me, it is

:24:26. > :24:34.much more created to make a spinning wheel than a chair. I get

:24:34. > :24:38.great satisfaction. Life revolves around spinning year, Val has been

:24:38. > :24:43.doing this since a teenager. She passed on her passion to David, and

:24:43. > :24:48.together they have created and road-tested many of the country

:24:48. > :24:54.spinning wheels. Now they have the ultimate job, restoring the rarest

:24:54. > :25:00.of spinning wheels. This is a jump onto his spinning wheel which is

:25:00. > :25:06.very rare. He made spinning wheels that looked like bits of furniture.

:25:06. > :25:10.It is just magical for us. David says this is the Rolls-Royce of

:25:10. > :25:17.spinning wheels and needs a lot of love to restore it. There are perks.

:25:17. > :25:22.Once it is finished, and Val gets to road test it.

:25:22. > :25:26.I guess the all rise of spinning wheels must be very exciting! --

:25:26. > :25:36.the Rolls-Royce's spinning wheels. Now, the weather. Let's hope it is

:25:36. > :25:39.good for Friday. Give us some good We should take one or two umbrellas

:25:39. > :25:45.on Friday just in case. Good evening, it is April, so expect

:25:45. > :25:50.some showers in April. A lot of sunshine today but also quite a few

:26:13. > :26:17.than this in some places. It is because of low pressure. This is

:26:23. > :26:30.plenty of showers, but in between, some sunshine as well. This evening,
