Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson. And | :00:06. | :00:13. | |
Annabel Tiffin. Our top story: The supersize school uniforms. Why | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
doctors are concerned about the expanding waistlines of our | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
children. Last year we introduced new shirts into the range that from | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
stock go up to 19 inch collar for boys and think 48 inch chest in | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
girls' blouses. We'll talk to one of the region's top health | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
officials. Also tonight: Police crack down on lorry drivers who | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
seek distractions during long hours in the cab. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Pain for Keri-Anne - as the Stockport swimmer misses out on an | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Olympic medal. Not quite what I wanted for all the crowd and for | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
all the people that have worked so hard to get me here, but, yeah... | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
And the sweet sound of Stradivarius. The lucky orchestra which has | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:15. | ||
borrowed one for a series of concerts. The school summer | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
holidays are well under way but unlike in days gone by many | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
children aren't spending their days running outside and playing with | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
their friends. As kids spend more time watching TV or playing | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
computer games, we all know childhood obesity is growing. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Now one school uniform company in Lancashire says it's having to make | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
more supersize clothes than in the past. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Trutex says the problem is worse here in the North West, and that | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
it's further evidence of a rise in childhood obesity. Here's Ian | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Haslam. Based in Clitheroe, this clothing company has been supplying | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
uniforms for over a century. Never, they say, has there been such big | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
demand for large clothing. It's definitely a trend we have noticed | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
in the North West, our retailers are asking for these bigger sizes | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
that have created this demand. Last year we introduced new shirts from | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
stock that go up to 19 inch collar for boys. I think we go up to 48 | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
inch chest in girls' blouses so these are large sizes. If that | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
sounds big, take a look at the blazers and trousers. This 50 inch | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
sturdy fit trouser is the biggest they have. As you can see there is | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
an internal waist adjuster there. The next most popular style is this | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
with an elasticated waste and this is a 48 inch chest jacket. Three | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
years ago the biggest was a 50 inch chest. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
According to a recent report by NHS North West, around a third of | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
children in the region or half a million, are overweight or obese. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Of that 9.9% were 4-5-year-old which is slightly above the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
national average. The percentage of obese children aged ten to 11 was | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
19.3%, again higher than the national national average. An | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
alarming statistic possibly, but not one that surprises this bicken | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
head shop owner -- Birkenhead shop owner. People are getting bigger. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
Years ago we had two ranges of trousers, slim fit and regular fit. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Now we have regular fit and sturdy fit trousers. So, the slim fit | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
trouser has vanished. With the elasticated they're ideal for | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
children. Makes them feel better about themselves. It's the diet and | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :03:42. | ||
stuff like that. It seems despite schemes to counterit, childhood | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
obesity is a tkproeing problem. -- growing problem. | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
So why are children getting bigger? Well, that was a question we put to | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Dr Paula Grey, who is Director of Public health in liverpool. I think | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
it's a complex mixture of things really. It's not just one issue, | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
it's a whole environment, culture, and the difficulty I think some | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
people have in accessing good physical activity facilities and | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
also the difficulties in eating a healthy diet. Our reporter spoke to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
a clothes manufacturer who provides school uniforms for schools across | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
the country but he says the North West is particularly bad. He is | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
having to provide bigger uniforms in the North West. Why is that? | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Well, our information shows that probably where the children in | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Liverpool particularly are properly just about the same kind of size as | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
people nationally, so something like 12% of children in reception | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
class are obese, and something like 22% of children in year six, sort | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
of ten-year-olds are obese and that's pretty much in line with the | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
national average but that's far too much really, and I think it's a | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
mixture really of not enough physical activity and the | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
propensity to eat a lot of very dense calorie foods and fast food | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
and the sraeupblt of those -- availability of those kind of | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
things. Is that parents' fault, are they feeding kids the wrong thing? | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
I don't think we should blame anybody. It's a mix of the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
environment we live in. Obviously, parents have a role, as do schools, | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
our transport system has a role. The local authorities have a role, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
in terms of the facilities they offer in terms of parks and open | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
spaces. So, it's a mixture really. But it's certainly not something | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
that children can tackle on their own and certainly the kind of | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
things we do are trying aimed at families so parents and children | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
together, not just focusing on children because often it can be an | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
issue for the whole family and not just the child. Thank you very much. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
We would love to hear your comments on that, if you have any send them | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
to us and if we have time we will read them at the end of the | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
programme. Pathology staff at Salford Royal | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Hospital and Wigan Infirmary will be balloted for strike action after | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
talks to resolve a dispute over pay failed today. Around 60 workers | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
could lose up to �6,000 a year. Union leaders say it comes on the | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
back of a three-year pay freeze. A man in his sixties is being | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
treated for severe burns at Whiston Hospital after he suffered an | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
electric shock on Merseyside. It happened as he worked on a street | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
lamp cable in Kirkby this morning. Parents of children at mosques and | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
other kinds of schools in Lancashire are being urged to come | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
forward if they suspect their youngsters are being abused. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Yesterday Kurram Hussain from Blackburn was found guilty of | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
beating two boys - aged ten and eleven - while teaching them to | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
read the Koran. The police say people need to speak up. A burglar | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
whose accomplice died in a raid on a house in Stockport has been | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
jailed for ten years. 34-year-old Michael Anthony Thorpe from Heald | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Green admitted one count of aggravated burglary. The home-owner | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
was arrested on suspicion of murder, but no further action was taken. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
The bells on Kendal's town hall clock are to be silenced overnight | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
because council officials say they're breaking sound regulations. | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
They found the bells were four times the recommended limit | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
following complaints from a nearby tavern. The clock has chimed since | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
:07:31. | :07:33. | ||
the days of Queen Victoria. You may remember some years ago a | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
lorry driver was caught watching a TV show on his laptop as he drove | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
up the M6 in Cumbria. His vehicle veered from lane to lane for 25 | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
miles before he was pulled over by the police. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
It seems it wasn't an isolated incident. Now Merseyside Police | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
have a secret weapon - their own undercover truck. Stuart Flinders | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
has been finding out more. This lorry driver doesn't know it yet | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
but the truck pulling up alongside him is in fact a police vehicle. | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Constable Hemans films the driver as he uses his phone and relays the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
information to an unmarked vehicle behind. This vehicle up ahead, the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
driver's been sighted by the truck texting on his phone. As you can | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
see on the back of the vehicle, there is an orange board display | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
underneath the phone number, that means the vehicle is carrying | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
dangerous goods. The lorry is pulled over. Have you any points on | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
your licence, you are going to get three for this... This is operation | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Truck-cam, the target is drivers behaving badly. Just advise you | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
stkoepbt be on your -- don't be on your phone again. It's common to | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
see them on mobile phones. Large numbers don't wear seat belts. We | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
have them eating food while driving. Having drinks. You have seen them | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
watching videos? Watching videos. It's not uncommon to see all those | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
things. Back on the road, a driver's not | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
wearing a shirt. He gets a �60 fine for not wearing a seat belt either. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
The lorry isn't just cover for the police, it allows them to see | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
inside a driver's cab. Normal patrol cars are just too low. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
he is rolling a cigarette, hold the position there, please. They've | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
caught drivers eating a salad, even pouring tea with no hands on the | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
wheel. Bit, more, please. Driver is not wearing seat belt and neither | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
is either of the other two passengers. These are relatively | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
minor offences, but if a driver were to kill somebody while using | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the mobile phone or eating a sandwich, then they could be | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
looking at a charge of causing death by dangerous driving and a | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
:09:59. | :10:02. | ||
prison sentence of 14 years. A man's been sentenced to four | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
years in prison for rape after his victim said a storyline in | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Coronation Street gave him the courage to come forward. Daniel | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Bird was today sent to prison for attacking the boy four times when | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
he was just eight. His victim, now in his teens, said the ordeal of | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
the character Carla in the ITV soap prompted him to give evidence. Mark | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Hannaby reports. I was around eight years old. He | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
took me to my bedroom every time my mum and dad went out and just raped | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
me. This This 17-year-old boy was afraid to tell anyone of the | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
torment he suffered on being repeatedly raped by Daniel Bird. He | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
found courage to report the crimes after watching a rape storyline | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
featuring the characters car la Connor and frank Foster in | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Coronation Street. Daniel Bird was found guilty of raping his victim, | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
an eight-year-old boy, on four separate occasions whilst | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
babysitting him. The rapes took place in 2004 when Bird was either | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
15 or 16. After each attack, Bird told his young victim he wasn't | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
allowed to tell anyone what had happened. He's taken away my | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
childhood, taken away a big part of my life which I should have enjoyed. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
He's ruined it. He turned me into a horrible person. He didn't want to | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
cuddle, he didn't want to kiss as a young boy, there was no affection. | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
There was nothing. Just nothing there at all. I can't believe that | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
someone's done that to my child. Detective Constable Halls says | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Bird's conviction should give other victims of rape the courage to | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
report the crime even after several years. It's important to come | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
forward, without victims and reports we can't do anything to | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
investigate it. Daniel Bird, 24, was found guilty of four counts of | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
rape at Manchester Crown Court. He was sentenced to four years in | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
prison and ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for life. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Still to come on North West tonight: Under wraps for thousands | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
of years. But now a rare insight into how the ancient Egyptians | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
might have really locked. -- looked. There's a chance of a medal for us | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
in the taekwondo, but Liverpool fighter Martin Stamper can only win | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
Olympics, and Keri-Anne Payne struggled to hold back the tears | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
this afternoon after narrowly missing out on a medal. During a | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
very tough 10 column at a race she was cheered on by thousands of | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
people who lined the banks of the Serpentine. | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
Sadly she came 4th, just failing to gain a bronze medal. The margins | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
between success and failure are so slim. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Yes, four hundredths of a second was how much there was between | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
Keri-Anne Payne and a bronze medal today. I am here in Hyde Park, full | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
of families enjoying themselves. You can see the Serpentine behind | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
me looking lovely on this summer's evening. A few hours ago it was | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
packed, a sea of red, rock -- White and blue, plenty from the North | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
West who had hoped to see Keri-Anne Payne go one better than in Beijing, | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
when she missed out on a gold medal by just 1.15 seconds. This is how | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the story of a very dramatic race unfold at. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
The shirt said it all. Among the flags and banners, some family | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
support. Excited! She is going to win. There is a bit of pressure on, | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
because we have not done very well in the swimming. Yes, but I think | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
she will get there. I think she will use all her rounds and then a | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
burst of speed. Conditions were perfect. An English summer's day, | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
six laps of the Serpentine between Keri-Anne and a medal. It is a | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
dangerous job. In Hong Kong she was swimming alongside of shark nets, | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
in China she had dead dogs floating pastor and in Melbourne she was | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
stung by jellyfish the size of dinner plates. She should be OK in | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
London, where the worst she might fate is -- face is a curious cooked. | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Keri-Anne, who want -- who won silver in Beijing, likes to lead | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
from the front. 10 kilometres is about 8,000 strokes. Anybody | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
tempted to cheat will be watched by the referees on a boat, with red | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
and yellow cards. Come on, Keri- Anne! Not far from home and, | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
despite her family urging her on, she was in 5th place. As they raced | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
for the line, she moved to 4th but just missed out on a medal. Keri- | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
Anne just behind in 4th position. think she did really well. I think | :15:04. | :15:11. | |
she did brilliant. A little bit disappointed we didn't | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
get a medal but still proud of her and she has done her best and we | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
have all had a really good day. Putting on a brave face on at. But | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
she is not the only swimmer who has had his appointment at this the | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
Games. -- disappointment. No man, it is the only area where we seem | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
to have failed. -- no. Rebecca Adlington got two bronze medals but | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
funding for swimming might be cut now. And they will have a post | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
games review to see if it is worth funding. Keri-Anne might not go to | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
the next the Games in Rio. After the race, an obviously | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
disappointed Keri-Anne spoke to the BBC's Clare Balding. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
It did not really go my way from the start. I tried to get back up | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
to leading but it shows that I need to do my own game. The top 25 | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
swimmers in the world are here today so to come out 4th is not too | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
bad and it was really, really close as well. Not quite what I wanted | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
for all of the crowd and for everybody who has worked so hard to | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
get me here. It was a terrific effort. How much were you hurting, | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
particularly on the last lap? hurting most of this when. I have | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
always said that open-water is about making the right decision at | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
the right time. I missed a chance and from there I struggled to get | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
back in. I think I was working too hard for how would normally like to | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
take the race. I got back into position but it didn't happen at | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
the end. Is that it for you for swimming? I don't know, really. I | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
don't know how things will go yet. I think I need a bit of a break | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
from doing 10Ks but we will see. Liverpool's Martin Stamper will | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
fight for bronze tonight in taekwondo in the men's 68 kg | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
division. He made it to the semi- final but was narrowly beaten. | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
He made his way into the quarter- final after his victory over the | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
Mexican contender this morning. Then standing in his way it was the | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
:18:08. | :18:12. | ||
18-year-old Serbian. He won and set up his toughest bout yet against a | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
:18:22. | :18:23. | ||
bronze-medallist from Beijing. A certain absurd but his art next. | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
-- a certain Serbian his next. you have to be the best to beat the | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
best. From the first round the Turk | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :18:50. | ||
proved a formidable a kit -- opponent. He took a 5-0 lead. With | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
seconds left to Martin Stamp had tried to do something but the world | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
champion held on to win 9-6. He still has a chance of a bronze | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
medal tonight. Fingers crossed for Martin. Stuart | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Bithell has to wait until tomorrow to raise the gold at the Olympic | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
regard to endorse it. Today's race in the 470 class was postponed from | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
lack of wind. If the conditions are favourable tomorrow he and his | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
counterpart -- his partner are guaranteed at least a silver. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Competing tomorrow will be BMX champion Shanaze Reade. She is | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
desperate to get a medal in these Olympics after crashing out in | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
Beijing, when she was hot favourite. She goes into the semi-final this | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
afternoon, hoping to make the final later on. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
It showed me the rules of how to be an Olympic champion. I think in | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
that event, if I did win, I wasn't a true champion because I didn't | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
have all the big -- the ingredients it needs. I have assured -- matured | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
a lot more since then. Away from sport now, and think of a | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
range at -- ancient Egypt - you think of mummies and perhaps | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Tutankhamun's funeral mask. A collection in Manchester is | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
shedding light on the ancient world with a collection of rare artefacts | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
found inside Egyptian tombs. They are being shown at the John | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Rylands Library in Manchester. Elaine Dunkley has been along to | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
find out more. Ancient Egypt is full of mystery. | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
The identity of the mummies has long been under wraps and to -- | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
until now. You can see the wrapping is stitched into the portrait. | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
These paintings are 2000 years old and were found in tombs in 1888. | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
These pieces were astonishing. Everybody in Europe was amazed by | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
the quality of these pieces. We are so lucky here in Manchester to have | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
this combination of artifacts but very few institutions and cities to | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
have. Paintings of the wealthy, soldiers and other celebrities of | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
the time, discovered by this archaeologist. His exhibitions were | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
financed by a wealthy Manchester cotton merchant. | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
I am blown away. It is incredible. I had seen pictures from the 15th | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
and 16th century and these are so much older. You are looking at | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
pictures over 2000 years old and in good condition. And rare documents | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
found near the tombs are giving us a chance to peer into the past. | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
After becoming a Roman province in 29 BC, Egypt was subjected to a | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
waiver of bureaucracy. They are pieces of writing from everyday | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
life, letters and contracts. I am always struck by how much | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
bureaucracy was going on. This is undoubtedly one of the greatest | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
collections of its time. The exhibition runs until November. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Fascinating. Moving on to something musical. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
They are considered to be the finest violins ever made. They can | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
fetch millions of pounds at auction and some say the sound of a | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
Stradivarius can't be equalled. We were debating how to pronounce | :22:54. | :23:01. | |
it. There are only about 600 of the violins remaining force. One has | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
:23:11. | :23:19. | ||
been borrowed for a series of The unique sound of a Stradivarius | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
violin. It is in the hands of the Manchester Camerata. | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
And Giovanni, what is it like playing a Stradivarius? This is one | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
of the greatest honours you can have. A piece of art 300 years old, | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
like a Da Vinci painting. Hand- crafted centuries ago, Stradivarius | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
violins are regarded as the finest ever made. It is like playing with | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
an old man's voice and you hear the history of the instrument. | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
orchestra has it on loan from the benefactor. It is very unusual. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Only a handful of orchestras in the world can say that their leader | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
plays on such a fine instrument. was made in 1709, during the | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
Italian's golden period. Only about 600 remain and last year a | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Stradivarius sold for a record �9.8 million. | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
Are you quite careful with it?! am. But it becomes like an | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
extension of your arm. I will not be dropping at! | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
This comes at an interesting time for the Manchester Camerata as it | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Audiences will be able | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
to take up their seats and enjoy the instrument for themselves when | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
the concert season starts in September. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
Beautiful sound. It doesn't matter how you say it, | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
it makes a beautiful sound. They say there are various ways to | :25:03. | :25:13. | |
:25:13. | :25:14. | ||
Beautiful day today, wall-to-wall sunshine after we got rid of the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
mist and low cloud. Temperatures again have varied but they have | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
been in a High Sixties and the low Seventies. They continue like that | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
over the next few days. A very pleasant evening, the sunshine is | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
right across the North West. The picture does not change too much as | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
the sun goes down. Clear whether at first. I have stopped the chart at | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
around 10pm because if you are out and about and you want to look up, | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
it is a good night to see the International Space Station. It is | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
best to see it at 10:52pm. After midnight you will start to see a | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
bit more cloud drifting in. You can see it darken in the chart a bit. - | :26:05. | :26:14. | |
- darkening. The temperatures are 11-14 degrees tonight. Tomorrow | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
morning, a bit of low cloud and mist. It will be gone earlier than | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
today. By 8am most places will have seen it gone. Then it is just | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
sunshine, dry and fine. A bit of patchy cloud now and then, which | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
gives you a rest from the strength of the sun, but it is very strong. | :26:35. | :26:44. | |
A top temperature potentially of 23 A lot of you have been getting in | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
touch about the school uniforms. On face Burke -- Facebook, Sarah Lee | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
says, I know for some children there are medical reasons but | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
surely having to build such large uniforms should ring alarm bells. - | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
- to buy. This woman says, the playing fields | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
nearby at just empty. Cathy says, I am current -- | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
constantly surprised by kids who are fussy eaters. | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
Cassie says, we worry about kids playing outdoors but if you go with | :27:26. | :27:31. |
