people in this pub. I am at their Etihad Stadium for | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
what has become the the most expensive game for fans in football | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
history. Some are being asked to pay �2,300 per ticket. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Also tonight, eight shootings in nine days. Police blame a drugs war | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
:00:53. | :00:53. | ||
for a spate of attacks in Liverpool. At last from the past - revisiting | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:09. | ||
the first major festival in this It has been billed as the biggest | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
game in Premier League history. Tonight hundreds of millions of | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
people from around the world will stop what they're doing to watch | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
the Manchester derby. After again with apps and downs the | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
title could be decided tonight as City and United meet in the biggest | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
game for regeneration. In a minute we will speak to our | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
reporter in that pub. First, we have a reporter at their | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Etihad Stadium. It is feeling tense already. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
It is the tenses ever. You said at the start of the programme it is | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
possibly the biggest in Premier League history. Officially it is. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
The PA announcer has just shouted that in my ear. It is officially | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
the biggest game in Premier League history. They have named it D-Day, | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:16. | ||
showdown, based off. -- base of. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
We will now go to our reporter who is in one of the City's pubs. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The atmosphere is hotting up here. Manchester is on the world stage | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
tonight. As well as public as a line up to watch the game, the same | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
:02:41. | :02:41. | ||
is happening in Africa, Asia, a Australia. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
For this city what is a long- standing local rivalry is now | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
global. From Moss Side to Melbourne, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Salford to Sierra Leone. The eyes of the football world affect on | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Manchester. All 47,000 seats are supposed to be | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
sold but are still tickets on sale for fructify �1,000 per pair. If | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
you cannot stretch to that you'll be one of the 650 million people | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
watching on television around the world. 27 international channels | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
are reporting live from the Etihad Stadium. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
In South America it is 3pm, but that is not important. The people | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
want to see the match. This man has travelled from Sierra Leone to be | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
in the crowds to ride. In one of the world's poorest countries this | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
clash has captured this imagination. 2 million people in my country will | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
be watching this clash. Every poor you go people go to the local pub. | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
Tickets have been already sold out for this derby at the local pub. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
What is this global spotlight worth up to Manchester businesses? It | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
will bring tens of millions of pounds in to the local economy. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
People have stayed for the weekend. People stay overnight. It will | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
attract a massive audience to television. People will travel for | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
miles to come and see this. Whatever happens between the two | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
team's the whole city will be the big winner. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Being in the global spotlight means it is vital for Manchester that | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
this event runs smoothly. The police are not taking any chances. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
600 officers will be around the ground and around the city centre, | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
but unlike their FA Cup clash in January, they will not be wearing | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
full riot gear. The police are confident they have everything | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
under control because they have been working closely with the fans. | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:55. | ||
We have been engage with fans prior to the fixture. -- engaged with. We | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
will support people coming to the fixture and make sure they do so | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
safely. We have a whole host of tactical options it required. | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
us hope that the event as pass of peacefully and all the headlines | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
will be about Manchester on the field of play. | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
I thought the police officers are on neutral! | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Elsewhere, tributes are being paid to an aid worker originally from | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Manchester who has been found murdered in Pakistan. Khalil Dale | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
was killed four months after being kidnapped there. His body was found | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
on a road. Police say the Pakistan Taliban left a note there are | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
saying they were responsible. are deeply shocked and outraged. It | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
is appalling. He was a trusted and experienced staff member. He was | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
committed to the work of the Red Cross. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
The impact of dangerous dogs has been under discussion in Liverpool. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Local people were given the chance to question MPs and the RSPCA at a | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
special parliamentary event in the city. Parents of John Paul Massey, | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
who was mauled to death by a family pet, have been campaigning for | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
tougher laws on dangerous dogs. A Madam Deputy Speaker issue has | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
been jailed in death that they were trying to groom young boys on the | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
internet. Simon Crisp pleaded guilty to charges of making images | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
of child sex abuse. He will serve at least five years. | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Police in Merseyside say are rising shootings this month as part they | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
because they have been so successful at cracking down on drug | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
dealers. Detectives say when they take criminals of the street, | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
others fight for control. There have been eight shootings in | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
nine days on Merseyside. In one incident a teenage boy was shot in | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
the leg. Police say they are determined to be do stop to it. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
On Friday night a 15-year-old was shot in the leg in Liverpool's | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Chinatown. He was not seriously hurt. 24 hours later a 21-year-old | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
man was shot in the arm at Stockbridge Village. Two of eight | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
shootings in Merseyside in just over one week. Police say it is not | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
because their crime strategy is failing, it is because it is | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
working. There have been tensions and tit-for-tat shootings. You're | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
have been victims of your own success? In a way we are, but in | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
the right direction. Police say that in the past four weeks they | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
have raided 130 cannabis farms, seizing more than 5,000 plants with | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
a street value of nearly �3 million. Turf wars are increasingly fought | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
over who controls street level cannabis sales. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
The age of the victim in the Chinatown shooting shows how young | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
some of the people are involved in all this. Police say all the | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
criminals act as a bit masters, persuading youngsters to carry and | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
even use guns. The shootings have happened across | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Merseyside. In an area once played by gangs, incidents have dropped | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
dramatically. Staff at Croxteth Sports Centre say young people are | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
realising where gangs can lead. They can see the devastation | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
created. For a certain age who we cannot do much, but for the younger | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
ones we can. It is our future and their future. Police acting for the | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
public's help to catch the gunman. -- gunmen. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
On Thursday boaters in Salford will decide who they want to be their | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
new city mayor. Today we have the final two | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
candidates. The government has accepted that their policies are | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
part damaging pensioners. On the well-being side we fight against | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
vandalism, anti-social behaviour, and crime. There are a lot of | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
issues around Salford youth. The need jobs. That is why I am here. I | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
can create them. The is a full list of all 10 candidates who are | :09:28. | :09:37. | |
standing for mayor of Salford on a Web site. | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
In the last few minutes Merseyside police have confirmed that they | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
have arrested the British National Party's candidate in Liverpool. He | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
has been arrested on suspicion of making false statements or taking | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
signatures on a nomination paper. Elsewhere almost 3,000 people have | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
signed a petition against plans to build anew by a mass power station | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
in battle. The a concern about the | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
environmental impact of the plant. Centrica, the company behind the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
plan, says it will be a boost to the economy and create hundreds of | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
jobs. Still to come - the day the Kinks | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
and the Grateful Dead came to town. We look back, 40 years to when | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Becker shot doubled its population. There will be plenty of this in the | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
next few minutes. Chewing the fat over that big-match. | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
Verdi is to experience. He is learning of the master. -- off the | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
master. There will be a lot of people who will be relieved when we | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
get to 8pm. It is big news. It is set to attract a massive TV | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
audience. One in 10 of the world's population might be watching. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Incredible. It will give the city's huge global exposure. What about | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
those who were here heading to the stadium? | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
I have never sat on a building like this. | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
-- I have never seen a build up like this. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
I hope all the 650 nilly people watch Late Kick Off tonight. | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
This is the biggest game in Premier League history. De the atmosphere | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
is pensive. -- that atmosphere is pensive. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
I was speaking to a taxi driver. He said every cab driver in Manchester | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
has been working the day shift. You will not get anywhere tonight | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
because they all want to be off to watch the big game. | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
We heard about the police operation. Roberto Mancini said it is a day | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
for football not war. He hopes supporters of all clubs can look | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
back that. Carlos Tevez says he wants to stay | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
at the club. He says he wants to stay with the club and work hard | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
for. He is expected to play tonight. We | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
are not sure about Balotelli yet. We're not sure what to expect at | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
all. United are three points clear. If they win or draw they have a | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
virtually got the title. The City when it is up for grabs. It is so | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
difficult to predict what is going to happen. There have been so many | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:03. | ||
twists and turns at the top of the Premier League. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Manchester United have put eight Manchester United have put eight | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
past Arsenal. Early on it looks like United's season. That is a | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
supreme goal. They will win the Premier League. Move on a couple of | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
months and City win an incredible derby 6-1 at Old Trafford. Going | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
into work the next day was not pleasant. But we have given it to | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
them over the years. The Christmas tree went up in her house. It was | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
wonderful. With City flying and United 3-0 down at Chelsea, they | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
showed the spirit of champions to salvage a draw. A huge | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
encouragement for the team, the fans, everybody. United turned the | :13:55. | :14:05. | |
:14:05. | :14:07. | ||
screw. They went eight points clear. Every team will go through a patch | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
in every season where they are not at the best. With the title in | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
sight fair these men it stumbled against Wigan and at Everton -- | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
Manchester United stumbled. Other than the first time we won it, this | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
will be the biggest win ever. the best. We will win it. This is | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:50. | ||
Thanks to United fans Margaret and Ben and City fans Tony and Brian. | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
What do the experts think? I feel confident that City will win. They | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
:15:07. | :15:08. | ||
have really been on form. When City have played, our centre-backs have | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
nullified the other teams. Even if they don't win the game, it is | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
still the M1 for Manchester United. The worst result they will get is a | :15:18. | :15:28. | |
:15:28. | :15:29. | ||
draw. -- it is still game on. is fall match commentary on the | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:40. | ||
radio tonight. And you can see highlights of the game tonight on a | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
special Match Of The Day at 10:35pm. Well, while the battle at the top | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
could take another dramatic twist tonight, the struggle to avoid | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
relegation has become equally exciting. Wigan look like they | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
could escape after an incredible four Neil -- four-nil win over | :15:55. | :16:03. | |
Newcastle. Wigan and now three points clear of the relegation zone. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Manager Roberto Mancini says the team is growing in confidence. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
played really well. When you play well, you need to take chances. | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
Today, we had a little bit of confidence. Outstanding. But there | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
:16:31. | :16:40. | ||
is more pressure on the Steve King after a Blackburn lost two-nil. | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
Bolton Wanderers fought hard to escape -- scrape a draw. Captain | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Kevin Davies coming to the rescue scoring both goals against | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
Sunderland. Goal of the weekend definitely came from Liverpool's | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
Luis Suarez who scored a hard trick against Norwich City, his third | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
goal flying in from 50 yards. Everton scored four goals against | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:10. | ||
Fulham, keeping them just above Liverpool in seventh place. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Graham Alexander has been describing the fairy-tale end to | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
his remarkable career. He scored in the last seconds for Preston on | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
Saturday after a career spanning well over 1,000 professional | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
matches. Alexander's goal made it two-all against the League One | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
champions Charlton. Manager Graham Westley described it as a special | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
moment. 1023 matches. Macclesfield Town are planning for life outside | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
the Football League after they were relegated to The Blue Square | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
Conference at the weekend. Brian Horton has left as manager after | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
the team failed to pull off an unlikely escape. Sale Sharks' new | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
star is going to be meeting up with his team mates sooner than we | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
expected. Danny Cipriani was due to leave the Australian side Melbourne | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
Rebels at the end of the season. But he's being allowed to go | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
immediately which means the Englishman will now be able to get | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
a full pre-40 years ago the North- west's first major pop music | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
festival pushed -- pitched up in a field near Wigan. Good luck to both | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
sides here tonight. Manchester City have waited since 1968 to win the | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
:18:28. | :18:29. | ||
title. Who knows what will happen? Nobody knows. Wait until 8pm. | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
it is set to be a wild night if your hairdo is but -- anything to | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
:18:43. | :18:44. | ||
go by! He has got a good head of hair. Shall we have something a bit | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
different? Yes. The Bickershaw Festival in 1972 attracted 60,000 | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
people and included performances from the Grateful Dead, The Kinks | :18:54. | :19:03. | |
and Donovan. Now footage of the event is to be made available on | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
DVD and to celebrate, today some of those who attended the festival | :19:06. | :19:16. | |
:19:16. | :19:20. | ||
were reunited in the field where it It was when the Woodstock came to | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
:19:30. | :19:31. | ||
Wigan. Music fans flocked to a field in Bickershaw. Top of the | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
bill were Grateful Dead. It was quite a good festival. A for many | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
of those living near, they were far from grateful for the invasion upon | :19:47. | :19:57. | |
:19:57. | :19:57. | ||
the local community. Among others, the young Jeremy Beadle. Did you | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
:20:07. | :20:08. | ||
sell any yoghurt before this? didn't. In 1972, 60,000 people | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
crowded into this field and it wasn't just a music event, it was | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
the mud fest. Today, in the same field, many of the organisers and | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
musicians gathered once again to launch a box-set of DVDs. It was | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
would stop in the mud, 40 years ago, Jeremy Beadle's mad idea. It was | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the experience of a lifetime. I was only 14, but they really loved it. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
It has stayed in my memory. remember climbing were all the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
scaffolding when it was being built. They told us to get off! Now fans | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
can relive their muddy memories from the comfort of their sofas. | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
Crikey, he was brave! The weather is on the way soon. Back to our top | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
story now and in the build up to tonight's crash, there's been | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
terrific banter between United and City fans over who's going to win | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
and who's going to take the title. -- tonight's clash. The arguments | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
in pubs, shops and factories have been fierce. Here's what happened | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
when we found Manchester United legend Paddy Crerand a taxi driven | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
by a cabbie from the other side of the tracks. Manchester City. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
you sure you want to go there today? We are going to win the | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:49. | ||
league they have tonight, it will be a great night. We're going to | :21:49. | :21:57. | |
tear your defence to pieces. United have got a lot of young kids | :21:57. | :22:07. | |

playing at the moment, but the team are on fire. Roberto Mancini has | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
:22:19. | :22:19. | ||
learned off Fergie. We shall play Derby even Monday and after we | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
shall play Newcastle. It will be a tough game. Fergie is too | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
experienced for that. He is learning off the master. Weekend | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
get two results, it they can only get one -- we can get all stop your | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
manager has stated on more than one occasion... When a player falls out | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
at United, they sell them. What we do it is discipline them and they | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
want to play again for us! Bought demean? You send them on a golfing | :23:02. | :23:12. | |
:23:12. | :23:19. | ||
holiday? -- what do you mean? on a hat trick! Anyway, if you need | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
a cab on your way home, give me a call. I've heard that somewhere | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:40. | ||
before! By the end, he was like, all... Good evening. April has | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
broken records for the number of days of rain we have had. | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
Specifically in northern England. In the year 2000, there was | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
:24:04. | :24:05. | ||
slightly less. Yesterday, 25.4 mm and eight Celsius. Today, 17 | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Celsius and have no rain. I'm afraid the rest of the week will | :24:09. | :24:18. | |
not be dry. You can see this next area of rain working its way in. | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
This weather fund will be wavering far too close for comfort during | :24:22. | :24:31. | |
the day -- weather front. All of the cloud cover keeps the | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
temperatures up. Through the night, the temperatures are ridiculous, | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
between 7 and 11 Celsius along the coast. It is a story of cloud cover | :24:45. | :24:54. | |
and while that rain looks like a drop south, it is going to pursue | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
its way back in. Plenty of cloud cover, limited spells of sunshine. | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Not as good as today but not as bad as yesterday, that is the crucial | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
thing. Temperatures down to 13 or 14 all over again. I was saying, I | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
wondered whether the rain over Manchester should have been half | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
read today to prove what is going on! Earlier, we asked visitors to a | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
Facebook paid where they would be watching the match tonight. Karen | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
says there are three men in my house and not one is interested in | :25:35. | :25:45. |
