Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Roger Johnson and Beccy

:00:07.:00:18.

Meehan. Ten years since Charlene Downes went missing, police appeal

:00:19.:00:21.

to her old friends as disturbing allegations emerge about her

:00:22.:00:23.

childhood. Deliver justice and to get searched killers behind bars.

:00:24.:00:28.

Why will never get up. I am in determined. `` I will never give up.

:00:29.:00:31.

Her family held an emotional memorial service for her today. Also

:00:32.:00:36.

tonight, still protesting his innocence. A man convicted of

:00:37.:00:39.

drowning his wife in France says she died in an accident.

:00:40.:00:42.

Health risks could force fracking firms to site drilling platforms

:00:43.:00:51.

away from people's homes. He's not going to sell much ice cream going

:00:52.:00:55.

at that speed. But a new book might do better. Eric Morecambe's former

:00:56.:01:08.

driver tells all. It's exactly ten years since Blackpool schoolgirl

:01:09.:01:12.

Charlene Downes disappeared. Detectives are convinced she's been

:01:13.:01:15.

murdered and today announced they were stepping up their inquiry.

:01:16.:01:19.

This afternoon Charlene's family held an emotional memorial service

:01:20.:01:26.

in the resort. Her mother believes she was killed by a Muslim grooming

:01:27.:01:30.

gang, and her case has been taken up by the far right British National

:01:31.:01:33.

Party. But today a national newspaper published evidence

:01:34.:01:35.

suggesting that during her short life Charlene came into contact with

:01:36.:01:38.

white paedophiles, sometimes in her own home. Peter Marshall is here now

:01:39.:01:43.

with more. Today's memorial was to celebrate

:01:44.:01:48.

Charlene's all too short life. They released white doves in her memory.

:01:49.:01:55.

Inside, family and friends, spoke of a young girl full of life, with a

:01:56.:02:01.

ready smile. But a decade since her disappearance they still don't know

:02:02.:02:04.

what happened too her. Al always remember her as my cheeky little

:02:05.:02:09.

girl. Happy and smiling. The smile could fill a room. It was

:02:10.:02:16.

infectious. Police believe she was one of a number of girls who had

:02:17.:02:20.

been groomed for sex by older men in the town. Two Asian take away owners

:02:21.:02:25.

were charged over her death but a jury failed to reach a verdict. Her

:02:26.:02:29.

family are convinced she fell prey to a Muslim paedophile gang

:02:30.:02:36.

operating in the resort. They, and police, hope publicity surrounding

:02:37.:02:39.

recent grooming cases like that in Rochdale will encourage witnesses to

:02:40.:02:41.

come forward. We're saying to people if you were a victim of historical

:02:42.:02:46.

abuse around the time when Charlene Downes and Paige Chivers were

:02:47.:02:50.

murdered, please come forward and we will treat you with respect and

:02:51.:02:55.

listen to your story. Charlene's family have been supported in their

:02:56.:02:58.

fight for justice by the British National Party which claims grooming

:02:59.:03:01.

gangs haven't been tackled because of a misguided sense of political

:03:02.:03:11.

correctness. But today the times newspaper accused the BNP of

:03:12.:03:13.

distorting Charlene's story "to sow seeds of divisive malevolence." It

:03:14.:03:16.

cites confidential police reports suggesting charlene was exposed to

:03:17.:03:19.

sex offenders from an early age They were not related to her.` they

:03:20.:03:23.

were older white men who visited or stayed at the family home. The BNP

:03:24.:03:26.

and Charlene's family rejected the article. My response is that it is

:03:27.:03:32.

appalling. They have got a lot of this from Facebook. I can assure you

:03:33.:03:38.

that is not the case. As far as I'm concerned, my daughter has been

:03:39.:03:47.

abused by groomed gangs. There are many unanswered questions in the

:03:48.:03:51.

case. The key question is, will she ever receive justice? A lift to get

:03:52.:03:57.

her killers behind bars. I've pray that one day that is going to

:03:58.:04:01.

happen. I will never give up. `` I pray. Robert Lund from Lancashire

:04:02.:04:08.

was found guilty of killing his wife Eveyln by three separate courts But

:04:09.:04:12.

tonight he's free and in an exclusive interview with North West

:04:13.:04:14.

Tonight he's still protesting his innocence. His wife's body was found

:04:15.:04:18.

at the bottom of a lake two years after she disappeared from the

:04:19.:04:21.

couple's home in Southern France. Lund was jailed for 12 years and had

:04:22.:04:25.

two appeals rejected. But now he's been released. Chris Bockman

:04:26.:04:31.

reports. This is home for Robert London Eye.

:04:32.:04:34.

He has just been freed after spending nine years in various

:04:35.:04:38.

French jails. For the manslaughter of his wife. He has no chance of

:04:39.:04:43.

clearing his name in the French courts, they chose to speak to the

:04:44.:04:49.

BBC to claim his innocence. I'm speaking to you because I have

:04:50.:04:52.

nothing to hide. My conscience is clear. I am in Assynt and did, wife.

:04:53.:05:00.

French courts find him guilty of manslaughter in three separate

:05:01.:05:09.

trials. Each time... It was claimed that he killed his wife and drove

:05:10.:05:13.

her body into a lake to make it seem like an accident. In my opinion it

:05:14.:05:18.

was an accident. She took a wrong turning. It was dark. It was a

:05:19.:05:23.

terrible night. She was upset. She had been drinking and think she had

:05:24.:05:29.

an accident, unfortunately. Whether people believe he is or not, he says

:05:30.:05:34.

he has to get on with his life. That means finding a job as he is broke.

:05:35.:05:42.

He intends to stay put in France. I hope that other thing is finished

:05:43.:05:46.

and I can get on with my life. I hope I can construct a new life My

:05:47.:05:52.

new life begins after I'll leave prison. I do not look back. His

:05:53.:05:59.

wife's family did not want to be interviewed today but they have

:06:00.:06:03.

always rejected his claims of innocence. S8 the motive by the

:06:04.:06:11.

death was money. Lund wanted access to his wife's life insurance. His

:06:12.:06:16.

legal problems are far from over. He now has to go to court in Leeds

:06:17.:06:22.

later this month because his former in`laws will try to reclaim his

:06:23.:06:31.

French property. There have been further developments

:06:32.:06:33.

regarding possible wrongdoing at Lancashire County Council. The

:06:34.:06:37.

constabulary have confirmed they are conducting their own investigation.

:06:38.:06:41.

Our political editor has been following this story. The police

:06:42.:06:46.

statement is a little vague, it refers to concerns in relation to a

:06:47.:06:51.

number of irregularities What are they talking about? The problem with

:06:52.:06:58.

this is it has always been vague the of the case. But they relate to the

:06:59.:07:06.

creation of an organisation, a joint venture but `` joint`venture tween

:07:07.:07:11.

BT and Lancashire County Council to run certain services, set up by the

:07:12.:07:14.

previous Conservative administration. When Labour took

:07:15.:07:19.

over, they had concerns about that. One was the fact that bonuses of

:07:20.:07:29.

?500 million had been paid to the Chief Executive of that

:07:30.:07:34.

organisation. The second was the decision to award a contract to look

:07:35.:07:41.

after the council's vehicles. That contract was cancelled by Labour.

:07:42.:07:46.

They began an investigation into the Chief Executive of Lancashire County

:07:47.:07:51.

Council. He was suspended and, more recently, he resigned in exchange

:07:52.:07:56.

for them dropping that disciplinary enquiry. Instead what the County

:07:57.:08:02.

Council has done is picking `` picked up those files, and now they

:08:03.:08:08.

have confirmed they are officially investigating. What should we expect

:08:09.:08:13.

to happen? Let's be clear, he has always said he has done nothing

:08:14.:08:16.

wrong and his supporters believe that this is literally motivated.

:08:17.:08:21.

The key question will be what do detectives do know? Do they look at

:08:22.:08:25.

the allegations and say, you know what, this is very serious and we

:08:26.:08:29.

are going to do a full enquiry, or do they look at the evidence and say

:08:30.:08:33.

there is not enough here. That is going to be the question. We will be

:08:34.:08:38.

looking at this issue on Sunday at 11am on BBC One, where at least one

:08:39.:08:44.

MP will be calling for a full enquiry into what is going on.

:08:45.:08:52.

Faxback `` thank you very much. What would you rather have where you

:08:53.:08:56.

live, a market or a Poundland? In Cleveleys, traders in the last of

:08:57.:08:59.

the town's three markets are fighting for survival. On Saturday,

:09:00.:09:02.

with 24 hours notice, they were kicked out to make way for the chain

:09:03.:09:05.

store. Our Business Correspondent Jayne McCubbin watched a very angry,

:09:06.:09:13.

very vocal protest there today. Poundland needs Cleveleys more than

:09:14.:09:19.

clean sleaze needs Poundland! `` Cleveleys. The message was this

:09:20.:09:27.

Poundland is not welcome. The store already has almost 500 branches It

:09:28.:09:32.

wants to open 1000 more. This will be its next. Traders were locked out

:09:33.:09:37.

after a phone call from the landlord on Saturday morning. To be told with

:09:38.:09:44.

24 hours notice, it is ridiculous. There's been no prior warning.

:09:45.:09:52.

Nobody owes any money or rent. Locked inside, tens of thousands of

:09:53.:09:56.

pounds of stock. The livelihoods of 15 traders. Tristram were camped

:09:57.:10:02.

outside tonight in protest. How long will you sleepy? As long as it takes

:10:03.:10:08.

to get this resolved. `` will you sleep here. On Saturday, you had a

:10:09.:10:12.

business but you don't now. What will happen to you? It is a

:10:13.:10:18.

financial hardship. Why have a mortgage and bills to pay. A

:10:19.:10:22.

petition has attracted 5000 signatures. The public has come out

:10:23.:10:27.

in such numbers that it has been a matter of police control. When

:10:28.:10:32.

Poundland comes, will you shop there? No. They cannot offer the

:10:33.:10:39.

friendship. This is the community of Cleveleys. The fight is to save the

:10:40.:10:46.

last of Cleveleys' three markets. This was the second ago, taking over

:10:47.:10:52.

18 months ago. Since then, nothing. It has been empty ever since. We

:10:53.:10:57.

were not able to meet the landlord today but he told the local

:10:58.:10:59.

newspaper that his tenants had had noticed. They disagree. This goes to

:11:00.:11:05.

court on Monday. We will let you know what happens.

:11:06.:11:08.

Health officials are criticising a report which suggests there's a

:11:09.:11:11.

higher risk of cancer for people living near shale gas fracking

:11:12.:11:13.

sites. An American study predicts there will be ten extra cancer cases

:11:14.:11:17.

in any community located within half a mile of a drilling site. Earlier I

:11:18.:11:23.

spoke to George Kowalczk, regional toxicologist for Public Health

:11:24.:11:26.

England. I asked him why he thought the American research was flawed.

:11:27.:11:32.

Fracking, if it is not properly regulated, can release emissions

:11:33.:11:40.

into the atmosphere. But we believe that if it is well maintained and

:11:41.:11:45.

related, the emissions can be made iced. `` minimised. Why do not

:11:46.:11:55.

believe cancer is an issue? There are some chemicals associated with

:11:56.:11:59.

the industry. It is not the gas or the chemicals in fracking but it

:12:00.:12:04.

might come with the infrastructure that is associated with the

:12:05.:12:08.

industry, the vehicles and engines that drive the Wells. They can

:12:09.:12:17.

release emissions, which can release things that are known to cause

:12:18.:12:20.

cancers. These chemicals are in our environment. We can live with them

:12:21.:12:25.

with an acceptable level of risk. Think the American study identified

:12:26.:12:30.

the people living close to those operations, not just the shield gas

:12:31.:12:35.

but the infrastructure operation, were at a low level of risk,

:12:36.:12:39.

equivalent to the level of risk that people experience from heavily

:12:40.:12:45.

trafficked areas. `` shield gas I think we could use that information

:12:46.:12:50.

to make sure that people are kept a reasonable distance from the

:12:51.:12:56.

operation. You can make sure the people are protected from the

:12:57.:13:02.

omissions. You might be able to do that in America where people can get

:13:03.:13:06.

away from the wells but here, there is not that much space. It is

:13:07.:13:10.

perhaps to do with whether wells are cited. `` where the wells are cited.

:13:11.:13:21.

If it is an unacceptable risk, it will not be allowed. Now the stand

:13:22.:13:32.

up comedian Sanderson Jones wasn't joking when he said he wanted to set

:13:33.:13:36.

up a church for those who don't believe in God.

:13:37.:13:38.

He's currently touring the country establishing so called Sunday

:13:39.:13:40.

Assemblies. His latest is in Manchester and our Chief Reporter

:13:41.:13:46.

Dave Guest has been to see it. They are meeting in a church and

:13:47.:13:53.

they have got acquire. `` a acquire. They also have moments of quiet

:13:54.:13:57.

contemplation. They have even got a collection. The one thing they do

:13:58.:14:01.

not have is any reference to God or religion. You put some time in your

:14:02.:14:10.

diary, between Tuesday and Wednesday next week I have time for church.

:14:11.:14:15.

Sanderson Jones is co`founder of the movement. He is a stand`up comedian

:14:16.:14:18.

muscle no surprise to his gatherings are peppered with humour. Just

:14:19.:14:22.

because you were doing something humorous does not mean you cannot

:14:23.:14:26.

have fun. I think we are changing the world. That is a big claim! How?

:14:27.:14:33.

We started out with none of these assemblies and now there are 35

:14:34.:14:37.

already and will be 40 by the end of the year. What we do is celebrate

:14:38.:14:40.

the one thing we have in common and that is that we are alive. Colin

:14:41.:14:46.

Parry was the inaugural speaker His son was killed by an IRA bomb. It

:14:47.:14:53.

could have meant the end of my life very easily. But it was not. The

:14:54.:14:58.

round`up with tea and cakes but no vicar. You might ask, they are a

:14:59.:15:02.

congregation that do not believe in God, so why have their meeting in a

:15:03.:15:06.

church? Apparently this was the only space available. They say it is not

:15:07.:15:11.

the building that matters, but more what goes on inside it.

:15:12.:15:18.

And now to a man many people would think had the dream job. Not you,

:15:19.:15:28.

Roger! Mike Fountain was Eric Morecambe's chauffeur for 15 years

:15:29.:15:32.

during the height of his fame and right up until his untimely death in

:15:33.:15:35.

1984. I have to say, I have been chuckling while we have been

:15:36.:15:37.

watching the report. All the messages, people posting their

:15:38.:15:41.

favourite Eric Morecambe lines on Facebook. The chauffeur has launched

:15:42.:15:46.

his book, called "Driving Mr Morecambe". It's packed with

:15:47.:15:49.

anecdotes and pictures that up until now have not been made public.

:15:50.:15:54.

Appropriately, the event took place at the Morecambe library and Mark

:15:55.:15:59.

Edwardson was there. That's very untidy! I know, their viewers. ``

:16:00.:16:07.

they are yours. Eric and Ernie brought sunshine to millions in a

:16:08.:16:10.

double act that lasted half a century. Mike Fountain was offered

:16:11.:16:13.

the job as Eric Morecambe's chauffeur in the late 1960s. Add a

:16:14.:16:16.

business going, so it took me ten seconds and I said yes! "Driving Mr

:16:17.:16:22.

Morecambe", a portrait of a legend, launched at packed Morecambe

:16:23.:16:25.

library. Mike recalled tales hitherto unheard outside Morecambe's

:16:26.:16:30.

Rolls Royce. The dregs arrived and then, unfortunately, so did two

:16:31.:16:33.

coaches full of women from the Women's Institute. Eric's reaction

:16:34.:16:37.

was honest, friendly and welcoming. He said two words. Hellfire! There

:16:38.:16:44.

are unseen pictures too. The Morecambe family, with Mike

:16:45.:16:49.

Fountain, at a picnic. And backstage at an early Morecambe and Wise show.

:16:50.:16:55.

It is thoroughly enjoyable to read because of that. Because it is

:16:56.:17:00.

honest and lovely. You cannot help but smile. He is not going to sell

:17:01.:17:09.

much ice cream going at that speed. He said, what is that risk are doing

:17:10.:17:17.

there? I said, nothing! And we were pulled over, and the policeman said,

:17:18.:17:21.

excuse me, can I have your autograph? He must have had a fit!

:17:22.:17:27.

Michael was always there with the props. Remember him saying to me

:17:28.:17:30.

that they were the happiest days of his life. `` I remember him saying

:17:31.:17:37.

to me. Eric would have said all the right words but not necessarily in

:17:38.:17:44.

the right order. That was my favourite line. Someone has tweeted,

:17:45.:17:52.

saying that we should do the weather with those classes on! `` classes. I

:17:53.:17:59.

think she should carry them on. She is a stylish woman! `` carry them

:18:00.:18:06.

off. All the sports, not necessarily in the right order. Tell us about

:18:07.:18:13.

Manuel Pellegrini. He has had a bit of a dilemma to resolve. Yes, ahead

:18:14.:18:22.

of City's match against Norwich we understand that Joe Hart has been

:18:23.:18:24.

dropped. Manuel Pellegrini declined to confirm that at his press

:18:25.:18:28.

conference earlier today. But it appears he's gone with his

:18:29.:18:31.

understudy, Costel Pantilimon. Hart has made a number of mistakes in

:18:32.:18:34.

recent matches that have brought the England number one's position as

:18:35.:18:37.

City's first choice into question. This was the latest in that defeat

:18:38.:18:40.

at Chelsea last weekend. Chelsea's winner the result of a mix`up for

:18:41.:18:47.

which the keeper was widely blamed. Pantillimon played in the win at

:18:48.:18:50.

Newcastle in the League Cup in midweek and did well, and the Blues

:18:51.:18:54.

manager has decided to give him a chance in the Premier League. The

:18:55.:18:58.

match of the weekend in the Premier League is at the Emirates Stadium in

:18:59.:19:01.

tomorrow's late kick off when Liverpool visit top`of`the`table

:19:02.:19:03.

Arsenal. The Gunners are just two places and two points better off

:19:04.:19:06.

than Brendan Rodgers' men. The Liverpool manager has praised his

:19:07.:19:08.

team's consistency, particularly strikers Daniel Sturridge and Luis

:19:09.:19:14.

Suarez. Daniel is improving. All the time. And Luis Suarez, everyone

:19:15.:19:19.

talks about his goals and his workrate, but I've seen an

:19:20.:19:23.

improvement in his football and his maturity this year. That bodes well

:19:24.:19:31.

for us. And, of course, you can keep up to date with all the games

:19:32.:19:34.

involving our sides on your BBC local radio station. Some sad news

:19:35.:19:38.

to bring you I'm afraid about the Tranmere Rovers' midfielder Joe

:19:39.:19:40.

Thompson. Joe has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The

:19:41.:19:44.

24`year`old began feeling ill during training a couple of weeks ago and

:19:45.:19:47.

underwent tests, which confirmed he has a form of Hodgkin's disease

:19:48.:19:51.

He'll begin a six month course of chemotherapy. The club is, of

:19:52.:19:57.

course, right behind him. We have been flooded with messages of

:19:58.:20:01.

support from supporters since we announced the news. This puts

:20:02.:20:06.

football into perspective. As you say, as a club, we will do

:20:07.:20:11.

everything we can for him and his family. We all wish you the very

:20:12.:20:19.

best in your recovery, Joe. Now Sale Sharks will be aiming to continue

:20:20.:20:22.

their solid start to the season against Exeter Chiefs tonight. You

:20:23.:20:25.

might remember the Sharks had a terrible start to last season which

:20:26.:20:28.

left them battling relegation. This time they've got a few wins in the

:20:29.:20:33.

bag and as I found out attitude is at the heart of their approach.

:20:34.:20:40.

In the hard edged world of modern rugby union, the Art of winning

:20:41.:20:43.

often comes down to science with little left to chance. This is

:20:44.:20:51.

Sale's blueprint for success. A document crated largely by the

:20:52.:20:55.

players. It is their reference guide for the season. A lot of it is

:20:56.:21:01.

driven by peer pressure. We have the senior players as the drivers. We

:21:02.:21:05.

meet with them twice a week and they drive the momentum. Underpinning the

:21:06.:21:15.

philosophy, a number of keywords. Beliefs, believing that we can win

:21:16.:21:19.

the games. Having the knowledge of the opposition. Having a high skill

:21:20.:21:27.

set which we train towards. And being highly motivated. Those four

:21:28.:21:32.

things do not work unless we turn up at the right attitude. Attitude is

:21:33.:21:36.

the first and foremost word that we use on a daily basis. A simple

:21:37.:21:41.

message that is getting through Last season, Sale lost their opening

:21:42.:21:45.

seven premiership matches. This time, they have already won half of

:21:46.:21:51.

their first six. It is no doubt that Sale have made an impressive start

:21:52.:21:55.

to this campaign. But they know that some of the trickier fixtures come

:21:56.:21:58.

towards the end of the season. It is a long way away. Lessons from last

:21:59.:22:06.

year, we need to get off to a good start. It takes the pressure off. We

:22:07.:22:14.

have done that so far. We look at our home game, and this Friday night

:22:15.:22:21.

is huge. The sort of attitude that will likely please his coaches.

:22:22.:22:31.

Elsewhere, there is lots of rugby elsewhere. The family of the famous

:22:32.:22:36.

Tomkins rugby players have faced a tricky dilemma this week. Sam will

:22:37.:22:39.

be starring for England against Ireland on Saturday in the Rugby

:22:40.:22:42.

League World Cup. Joel is making his debut for England's rugby union team

:22:43.:22:50.

against Australia. So even though the Wiganers are steeped in the

:22:51.:22:53.

13`man code, the Tomkins tribe are all going to watch Joel earn his

:22:54.:22:57.

first cap at Twickenham. Playing in front of 80,000 people at

:22:58.:22:59.

Twickenham, it is a massive buzz. I'm looking forward to it. But like

:23:00.:23:04.

I said, it was a big goal. One of the main reason is akin to rugby

:23:05.:23:08.

union. Thankfully everyone has gone in the right direction. `` one of

:23:09.:23:13.

the main reasons I came to rugby union. I spoke to their mother and

:23:14.:23:19.

they said the family decided they had to go and watch Joel because it

:23:20.:23:22.

is his debut but the more people talk about it, the more guilt thing

:23:23.:23:29.

`` guilty she feels! I wonder how foul proud she must feel!

:23:30.:23:35.

Well, as it's the night after Hallowe'en we thought we'd leave you

:23:36.:23:38.

with some giant ghosts, super`size skeletons and massive monsters.

:23:39.:23:41.

Thousands of people are gathering in Liverpool tonight to see them.

:23:42.:23:46.

You have a lot of punk is here last night! `` you had a lot of pumpkins

:23:47.:23:52.

here last night. They're part of the Hallowe'en Lantern Parade in the

:23:53.:23:57.

city's Sefton Park. Look at those! Reminiscent of the thing they had a

:23:58.:24:00.

couple of years ago, with the big puppet walking around the city. Our

:24:01.:24:09.

Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, is there.

:24:10.:24:13.

You can see a tensing skeleton, Michael Jackson and some mushrooms.

:24:14.:24:17.

You might think this is a normal night. Far from it. This is part of

:24:18.:24:22.

the annual Halloween lantern parade. Thousands have come out to watch it

:24:23.:24:26.

because it is spectacular. Ice one chap taking a look at the skeleton,

:24:27.:24:30.

about three years old, and running away. The fact that people last year

:24:31.:24:35.

in the park is an important part of why they put this event on. Lot of

:24:36.:24:39.

people come together to make the latter is, and all sorts of ages

:24:40.:24:43.

come together. The organisers have been telling me that that community

:24:44.:24:49.

spirit, bringing people together in the park, especially at night time,

:24:50.:24:53.

is one of the reasons they put the parade on. It is mixing together the

:24:54.:24:58.

community and professional artists. Daily from Liverpool and the North

:24:59.:25:05.

West but also nationally. `` mainly from. It is a brilliant

:25:06.:25:10.

celebration. It is an antidote to the more commercialised Halloween.

:25:11.:25:16.

So we are doing it a bit differently.

:25:17.:25:21.

As you can see, the parade is in full swing. You can see the

:25:22.:25:26.

community land turns behind me and the music playing. `` community

:25:27.:25:32.

lanterns. They are making their way to a central area where they promise

:25:33.:25:37.

a spectacular firework display. As you can see, the best seat in the

:25:38.:25:41.

house, as always. Fantastic stuff. Let's find out what

:25:42.:25:48.

the weather is going to be like What's going on, and I am afraid it

:25:49.:25:53.

will be unsettled. Plenty of activities going on this weekend. It

:25:54.:25:58.

is like to be unsettled, I am afraid. Strong winds from time to

:25:59.:26:03.

time. And you will see rain or showers. It is all courtesy of this

:26:04.:26:09.

rain. That system is moving away and tomorrow, this low pressure is

:26:10.:26:12.

moving in. Lots of rain. Sunday could be the better day. For

:26:13.:26:20.

tonight, we have had some rain this afternoon and that rain will retreat

:26:21.:26:23.

south initially and then begin to head back up north as we head into

:26:24.:26:29.

dawn. Clearing skies. Here, you can see that the temperatures will drop.

:26:30.:26:33.

Freezing. Tomorrow morning will be clouded. The rain will be breaking

:26:34.:26:37.

into showers. Heavy showers trying to cross the Irish Sea, over the

:26:38.:26:42.

Isle of Man. Initially, they will cross over. Very strong wind as

:26:43.:26:48.

well. 1112 Celsius, a bit disappointing for this time of year.

:26:49.:26:56.

Heavy showers tomorrow. Saturday night looks like this. Heavy,

:26:57.:27:04.

blustery showers. The wind is picking up across the Isle of Man

:27:05.:27:09.

and around the coast. Blackpool in places like that, temperatures

:27:10.:27:12.

dropping to five or six. Of course, on Sunday we have the Diwali

:27:13.:27:19.

celebrations. Hopefully, conditions will improve.

:27:20.:27:24.

We are a hardy lot, I do not think rain will put us off.

:27:25.:27:30.

You have to feel sorry for the people in Sefton Park. Hit or miss

:27:31.:27:37.

showers. Does that sound better We will leave you with some pictures

:27:38.:27:39.

from the lantern parade. Enjoy!
