Louise, thank you. That's all from the BBC News at

:00:00.:00:12.

Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson and

:00:13.:00:17.

Annabel Tiffin. Our top story.. Guilty of ill`treatment and neglect.

:00:18.:00:20.

Three staff at a Lancaster care home left elderly residents traumatised

:00:21.:00:22.

and humiliated. The residents in their 70s and 0s

:00:23.:00:26.

were slapped and stamped on. We re live at court.

:00:27.:00:27.

Also tonight... "I'll never understand how it

:00:28.:00:34.

happened." A mother's anguish as an inquest hears how Millie died after

:00:35.:00:36.

choking at nursery. Two Lancashire men accused of

:00:37.:00:39.

endangering a passenger plane heading to Manchester are found not

:00:40.:00:44.

guilty. It is a real cultural gem. Join me

:00:45.:00:48.

in Liverpool to find out why the Central Library is the place to be.

:00:49.:00:52.

And they know how it feels ` the couple helping the homeless who were

:00:53.:00:54.

once destitute themselves. People were kind to us and helped

:00:55.:00:58.

us, so we wanted to help our community.

:00:59.:01:06.

Three women who ill`treated and neglected vulnerable elderly

:01:07.:01:10.

residents at a Lancashire nursing home are tonight facing possible

:01:11.:01:13.

jail sentences. Preston Crown Court heard that the

:01:14.:01:16.

three carers humiliated residents at the Hillcroft nursing home at

:01:17.:01:20.

Slyne`with`Hest near Lancaster. They had denied any wrongdoing, but

:01:21.:01:23.

the jury didn't believe them and they were convicted of wilful

:01:24.:01:28.

neglect. Our chief reporter, Dave Guest, is outside the court now

:01:29.:01:35.

Who were these women and what did they do to the elderly people in

:01:36.:01:41.

their care? As you say, three women convicted today.

:01:42.:01:45.

Gemma Pearson is 28, Carol Ann Moore 54, and Katie Cairns is 27. These

:01:46.:01:52.

were terrorist trusted to care for some of the most vulnerable elderly

:01:53.:01:56.

people, those with advanced image. It was a trust they were to betray

:01:57.:02:00.

cruelly, ill treating and humiliating the people they were

:02:01.:02:05.

supposed to be looking after. They work at the Hillcroft nursing home

:02:06.:02:10.

at Slyne`with`Hest. Carol Ann Moore was said to have slapped one patient

:02:11.:02:15.

as a punishment. Katie Cairns was said to have stamped on another and

:02:16.:02:19.

Gemma Pearson tipped one out of his chair because he would not stand up.

:02:20.:02:23.

During the trial the court was told beanbags were often thrown at the

:02:24.:02:26.

visit Santa Fe were humiliated and laughed at. Hume `` presumably the

:02:27.:02:33.

perpetrators believed these people would not remember what was

:02:34.:02:35.

happening to them. They came unstuck when a whistle`blower alerted the

:02:36.:02:40.

Care Quality Commission. What was the reaction from the victims'

:02:41.:02:45.

families and police? Naturally enough, people were

:02:46.:02:48.

shocked to hear what had happened to the loved ones. Soon after the

:02:49.:02:52.

verdict 's this afternoon a spokesman for the family said these

:02:53.:02:55.

three women had betrayed the trust place it `` the trust placed in them

:02:56.:03:01.

and had failed to provide dignity for their relatives. We hope that

:03:02.:03:06.

the sentencing will reflect in the crimes committed against vulnerable

:03:07.:03:09.

people who could not stand for themselves.

:03:10.:03:12.

They are duties on the owners and management of Hillcroft, Lancashire

:03:13.:03:17.

County Council adult services come NHS North Lancashire and the Care

:03:18.:03:22.

Quality Commission. We feel there have been failings on the parts of

:03:23.:03:30.

all of these. The three women showed a total disregard for their

:03:31.:03:34.

well`being, displaying contemptible behaviour that should never be

:03:35.:03:37.

tolerated. What happens to the women now?

:03:38.:03:43.

They will be back in Preston in January to discover what your

:03:44.:03:46.

punishment will be and also to be punished is Darren Smith, one of the

:03:47.:03:51.

former colleagues at Hillcroft. He earlier admitted eight charges

:03:52.:03:54.

against him come and relatives are concerned about whether authorities

:03:55.:03:58.

did enough to act when the initial alarm was raised. There is currently

:03:59.:04:06.

a review into that. The mother of a nine`month old baby

:04:07.:04:10.

who died after choking on her lunch at nursery has told an inquest

:04:11.:04:13.

she'll never understand how it happened. Millie Thompson was taken

:04:14.:04:16.

ill at Ramillies Hall Nursery in Cheadle Hulme last year.

:04:17.:04:19.

Today a jury heard that the first aid training of the nursery

:04:20.:04:22.

supervisor who'd been feeding her had expired. Naomi Cornwell reports.

:04:23.:04:25.

Millie Thompson was only on her third full day at Ramillies Hall

:04:26.:04:31.

Nursery when she became ill. The inquest in Oldham heard that she had

:04:32.:04:35.

settled in well at the school and had no special dietary needs. But

:04:36.:04:38.

when Millie was being fed her lunch of mashed up shepherd's pie by a

:04:39.:04:41.

nursery supervisor she suddenly started to choke and turn blue.

:04:42.:04:49.

That supervisor, Alison Pope, told the court her first aid training had

:04:50.:04:53.

expired, but a colleague with special paediatric first aid

:04:54.:04:55.

training had done backslaps on Millie before the ambulance arrived.

:04:56.:04:58.

Did you panic? Asked Mr Kenny, lawyer for the Thompson family.

:04:59.:05:01.

We didn't have time to panic, she said.

:05:02.:05:03.

I had never experienced anything like this before.

:05:04.:05:07.

An ambulance arrived at the school ten minutes after being called, but

:05:08.:05:10.

Millie was pronounced dead in Stepping Hill hospital less than an

:05:11.:05:14.

hour later. The Coroner for South Manchester, John Pollard, today

:05:15.:05:16.

praised the charitable work that Millie's parents, Joanne and David,

:05:17.:05:19.

have since carried out with the North West Ambulance Service,

:05:20.:05:25.

describing them as very generous. Giving evidence, her mother broke

:05:26.:05:28.

down in tears as she described the 23rd of October last year, telling

:05:29.:05:32.

the jury, "We thought she was safe that day. How she choked on mash,

:05:33.:05:39.

we'll never understand." The inquest into Millie Thompson's

:05:40.:05:41.

death is expected to continue into next week.

:05:42.:05:50.

The bodies of two women have been found at a house on Merseyside. The

:05:51.:05:56.

discovery was made at the property in Knowsley Village at around

:05:57.:06:02.

midday. A 55`year`old man has been arrested. The scene has been

:06:03.:06:05.

cordoned off and forensic teams are there. Let's join our reporter,

:06:06.:06:07.

Yunus Mulla. What more can you tell us about what

:06:08.:06:11.

Leith `` police believe may have happened?

:06:12.:06:16.

The crime scene investigators are still here this evening. They spent

:06:17.:06:20.

most of the afternoon there. What we know is that a man walked into a

:06:21.:06:25.

police station earlier today. That led Merseyside Police to home farm

:06:26.:06:31.

Road here in Knowsley Village. The emergency services were called,

:06:32.:06:35.

including the air ambulance. When they arrived they discovered the

:06:36.:06:42.

bodies of a 20`year`old woman and another woman, also believed to be

:06:43.:06:47.

in her 50s. Clearly this has created a lot of shop here. This is what

:06:48.:06:54.

neighbours had to say to me. My daughter came to the door and

:06:55.:06:59.

said everyone is out in the road. We didn't hear anything until the air

:07:00.:07:04.

ambulance dropped here. There has never been anything like that happen

:07:05.:07:07.

in this area before. It is a shock, really. You could not

:07:08.:07:13.

get in. We team up the main road and it was all blocked off. Clearly a

:07:14.:07:19.

very shocking thing to happen in any community.

:07:20.:07:21.

What do we know about the people who live there?

:07:22.:07:26.

The two women are yet to be formally identified because not all next of

:07:27.:07:31.

kin and `` have been informed. Some people have told me the two women

:07:32.:07:36.

kept themselves to themselves but they have only been here for a few

:07:37.:07:40.

years. A 55`year`old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and

:07:41.:07:45.

remains in police custody this evening. House`to`house enquiries

:07:46.:07:51.

here are also continuing. Thank you very much indeed.

:07:52.:07:57.

A 21`year`old man from Salford who scrawled graffiti about the killers

:07:58.:08:02.

of Fusilier Lee Rigby has been jailed for twelve weeks. Daniel

:08:03.:08:05.

Smith was found guilty of two counts of criminal damage to the the RAF

:08:06.:08:08.

Bomber Command War Memorial in London. Fusilier Rigby from

:08:09.:08:11.

Middleton was stabbed to death outside Woolwich Barracks earlier

:08:12.:08:13.

this year. Work on a new link road connecting

:08:14.:08:17.

the Heysham Peninsula to the M6 motorway will begin in the New Year.

:08:18.:08:21.

The ?124 million project was given final approval at the Court of

:08:22.:08:26.

Appeal this morning. Lancashire County Council says it will mean a

:08:27.:08:30.

new era for economic growth and improved transport.

:08:31.:08:33.

Merseyside Police are using fogging devices to foil thieves this

:08:34.:08:37.

Christmas. The devices, which are being installed in shops, will fill

:08:38.:08:40.

the premises with dense fog when thieves attempt a robbery. The force

:08:41.:08:44.

says it is also using tracking devices and forensic sprays to cut

:08:45.:08:47.

retail crime. And four giant fish used in a ? .6

:08:48.:08:51.

million drug smuggling operation have been re`homed at the Blue

:08:52.:08:55.

Planet Aquarium in Cheshire. The freshwater Arowanas were used in an

:08:56.:08:58.

attempt to bring 17kg of cocaine into the UK two years ago. It was

:08:59.:09:03.

discovered hidden in sealed bags among a consignment of more than

:09:04.:09:05.

16,000 tropical fish. A woman from Lancashire has died

:09:06.:09:14.

after contracting malaria while holidaying overseas.

:09:15.:09:19.

Jane Rowley and her husband, Martin, had been back home in Lytham for two

:09:20.:09:23.

weeks when they became ill. Lee Bennion reports.

:09:24.:09:30.

Martin and Jane Rowley enjoyed the good life. A happy family, their

:09:31.:09:33.

daughter, Victoria, got married in July. They ran a successful business

:09:34.:09:38.

and had an exotic holiday home in The Gambia. They holidayed there

:09:39.:09:40.

regularly and Martin even sponsored the local youth football team. They

:09:41.:09:44.

had most recently returned home to Lytham a couple of weeks ago. Then,

:09:45.:09:47.

at the weekend, they both became ill.

:09:48.:09:54.

The only thing I can describe it as is the worst case of flu you could

:09:55.:09:58.

ever imagine. The headaches get worse...

:09:59.:10:00.

They had contracted malaria while overseas.

:10:01.:10:04.

Sadly, Jane succumbed to the illness last night.

:10:05.:10:11.

Every bodily function in her body began to fail on her. After that, we

:10:12.:10:21.

made the decision that it was kind for her to turn the machine off

:10:22.:10:25.

which is so sad. At the family carpet firm in Lytham today,

:10:26.:10:28.

Martin's dad, Jim, was trying to keep busy, but couldn't disguise his

:10:29.:10:34.

distress. The two children I feel so sorry for

:10:35.:10:42.

them. Young James said, I'm 17. . I just lost my mum. We have accepted

:10:43.:10:48.

chain into our family and couldn't ask for anyone better. I am going to

:10:49.:10:54.

miss very much. `` we have accepted Jane.

:10:55.:10:57.

Doctors say Martin appears to have made a full recovery.

:10:58.:11:01.

Once he is home he will have to take a course of anti`malarial treatment,

:11:02.:11:04.

and of course begin to come to terms with his loss.

:11:05.:11:07.

Two men who were accused of being terrorists and who had threatened to

:11:08.:11:12.

blow up a plane walked free court today. Tie`yab Subhani and Mohammed

:11:13.:11:16.

Safdar were arrested in May after a plane heading from Pakistan to

:11:17.:11:19.

Manchester was forced to make an emergency landing at Stansted.

:11:20.:11:21.

`` Tayyab Subhani and Mohammed Safdar.

:11:22.:11:24.

But, after new information came to light, the judge today ordered the

:11:25.:11:28.

jury to clear the men. Our reporter, Kim Riley, joins us now from

:11:29.:11:33.

Stansted airport. Yes, and Stansted is a designated a

:11:34.:11:37.

report for reception of planes that have been hijacked or are undergoing

:11:38.:11:40.

a midair emergency. They are taken to the other side of the era failed

:11:41.:11:46.

away from the terminal so that normal operations can continue. That

:11:47.:11:50.

is what happened in this situation but from the start there was

:11:51.:11:53.

confusion as to the precise nature of the threat. It was an emergency

:11:54.:11:59.

in which no one was injured amidst a big security operation.

:12:00.:12:02.

All passengers and crew were safely taken off the Pakistani airlines

:12:03.:12:06.

plane. A detailed search of the aircraft revealed nothing

:12:07.:12:12.

significant. 42`year`old Mohammed Safdar had been put into a forensic

:12:13.:12:16.

suit and threaded by police. He was held in custody for 73 days. The

:12:17.:12:21.

airline did not disclose the findings of its internal

:12:22.:12:24.

investigation of the incident to British authorities until ordered to

:12:25.:12:28.

by the court. The prosecution originally claimed Mohammed Safdar,

:12:29.:12:32.

on the left, and 30`year`old Tayyab Subhani had made threats to kill

:12:33.:12:35.

passengers and crew and blow up the plane, but during the trial

:12:36.:12:38.

different picture emerged. One passenger called that a trivial

:12:39.:12:42.

incident. The judge said some of the evidence

:12:43.:12:45.

before the jury against the two men had been tenuous and peppered with

:12:46.:12:49.

inconsistencies. He instructed them to return verdict

:12:50.:12:55.

's of not guilty on both counts Outside the court, solicitors for

:12:56.:13:00.

the pair read a short statements. Mohammed Safdar is relieved this

:13:01.:13:04.

ordeal is over. Due to information provided by

:13:05.:13:11.

authorities by members of the crew of flight PK709 the UK was put at

:13:12.:13:18.

considerable expense. This is a victory for him, his loved ones and

:13:19.:13:21.

those that knew he was innocent of the allegations he was facing.

:13:22.:13:26.

This case has collapsed after it became clear the whip this is had

:13:27.:13:32.

not told the truth. It is also clear that had the inquiry documents held

:13:33.:13:36.

by the airline 's been disclosed to the prosecution at the outset these

:13:37.:13:38.

two men would never have faced this protracted ordeal and a Crown Court

:13:39.:13:44.

trial. Can you say something to us in English?

:13:45.:13:50.

Is that all right? The defence said there was gaping

:13:51.:13:53.

holes in the evidence against the two men who had endured months of

:13:54.:13:56.

stress while being falsely branded terror suspects.

:13:57.:14:05.

I have a statement tonight from the Crown Prosecution Service saying,

:14:06.:14:08.

during the course of the pile for this information came in revealing

:14:09.:14:12.

significant inconsistencies in the accounts given by some which this

:14:13.:14:16.

is. It is satisfied the decision to bring the case was correct in the

:14:17.:14:24.

face of a serious allegation. `` the accounts given by some of the whip

:14:25.:14:26.

kisses. `` the accounts given by some of the

:14:27.:14:30.

witnesses. A hospital trust in Cumbria has

:14:31.:14:39.

apologised after inspectors found elderly dementia patients were left

:14:40.:14:42.

for hours without food. The Care Quality Commission said chronic

:14:43.:14:45.

staff shortages at the Ramsay Unit in the grounds of Furness General

:14:46.:14:48.

Hospital had impacted on patient safety. Suzanne Hailey reports.

:14:49.:14:50.

Vulnerable patients left without breakfast or medication. Incomplete

:14:51.:14:52.

record keeping and a number of patients at risk of weight loss and

:14:53.:14:55.

malnutrition. Why? A chronic shortage of staff. What the CQC

:14:56.:15:02.

report has highlighted is that staff are extremely caring and

:15:03.:15:04.

compassionate but we have not supported them with sufficient

:15:05.:15:07.

staffing. We are extremely sorry.

:15:08.:15:14.

When the Ramsay Unit was it inspected in an unannounced visit in

:15:15.:15:19.

October the Care Quality Commission issued warnings to immediately

:15:20.:15:24.

improve standards. The unit was closed to new admissions. Today s

:15:25.:15:30.

report says that the unit fell short of all three national care

:15:31.:15:33.

standards. It describes how there was little stimulation and no

:15:34.:15:37.

therapeutic input into patient care. It details concerns the trust did

:15:38.:15:43.

not act in accordance with legal requirements on things like the

:15:44.:15:47.

capacity can `` to consent. Staffing shortages had been overcome

:15:48.:15:53.

using temporary workers. Since then, an internal review has been

:15:54.:15:56.

carried out into what went wrong. Today, the trust apologised and said

:15:57.:16:01.

its care and welfare service was not good enough.

:16:02.:16:05.

The quality of care we have provided to our patients is not of the

:16:06.:16:08.

standard and fell far short of the standard we would want.

:16:09.:16:13.

We have let down our patients, our families and our staff. Staffing

:16:14.:16:17.

levels have been increased by 2 % and last week the unit reopened

:16:18.:16:23.

Now the trust is promising action to make sure these failings can never

:16:24.:16:29.

happen again. Still to come on North West

:16:30.:16:31.

Tonight... The once homeless couple who have

:16:32.:16:34.

helped hundreds of others win a national award.

And booking a visit to Liverpool's top tourist attraction ` how the

:16:38.:16:40.

city's Central Library has more pulling power than The Beatles.

:16:41.:16:48.

You may well have heard the sad news today about the death of Lewis

:16:49.:16:54.

Collins. For those of us of a certain age, he was one of the

:16:55.:16:57.

toughest and most famous TV detectives of the '70s and '80s

:16:58.:17:01.

But did you know Lewis Collins started out cutting women's hair in

:17:02.:17:04.

Liverpool? The Wirral`born actor died yesterday at his home in Los

:17:05.:17:08.

Angeles after a five year battle against cancer. Nina Warhurst has

:17:09.:17:11.

been hearing about his early days on Merseyside.

:17:12.:17:22.

Playing Bodie in The Professionals was what made Lewis Collins a

:17:23.:17:30.

household name, but after leaving school in Birkenhad he played in

:17:31.:17:33.

Merseybeat bands and worked in a hairdressers, where he met someone

:17:34.:17:36.

who also went on to bigger and better things.

:17:37.:17:46.

Have known him for ever, this is him and me in the dispensary in

:17:47.:17:48.

Liverpool. They stayed lifelong friends, so

:17:49.:17:50.

much so that Mike McCartney is godfather to one of Collins' sons.

:17:51.:17:54.

I was at the Globe local heroes awards and the flora pavilion near

:17:55.:18:00.

Brighton and my godson, Elliott Lee Collins, rang and told me his dad

:18:01.:18:08.

had passed away. His hard man image was cemented when

:18:09.:18:12.

he was turned down for the part of James Bond because his style was too

:18:13.:18:20.

aggresive. But his screen debut came the same way as many Merseyside

:18:21.:18:24.

actors in the '60s and '70s. You can see my carvings if you like.

:18:25.:18:28.

A life that took him to Hollywood, the action hero died peacefully

:18:29.:18:30.

surrounded by his family. He was brilliant, wasn't he? Classic

:18:31.:18:43.

telly. The boys all wanted to be like him and the girls all thought

:18:44.:18:47.

he was drop`dead gorgeous. Yes, in a nutshell.

:18:48.:18:51.

They were once homeless themselves, with five children with nowhere to

:18:52.:18:58.

go. Luckily they got help, shelter and food. Now Len and Carol Fowler

:18:59.:19:01.

run The Well in Blackpool, giving hundreds of people hot meals,

:19:02.:19:05.

clothes and friendship. Today the couple won a national

:19:06.:19:08.

award given to unsung Christian Heroes. The ceremony took place at

:19:09.:19:12.

the Palace of Westminster earlier. Earlier this week, Nazia Mogra went

:19:13.:19:17.

to meet them. Cheers, sweetheart. I will be better

:19:18.:19:20.

when I get this inside the! Colin comes to this centre every day

:19:21.:19:24.

it's open. Some days it's a fry`up for breakfast. Today it's lunch and

:19:25.:19:29.

his favourite veggie soup. It is a way of life, basically. It

:19:30.:19:35.

is somewhere you can meet and greet people. You meet your friends here.

:19:36.:19:39.

Carol and Len have been running The Well in Blackpool for ten years

:19:40.:19:42.

They were once homeless themselves. Now they help others.

:19:43.:19:47.

We get homeless people come here, people that are on benefit 's, we

:19:48.:19:55.

have had families come in. It is a place for them to come and be part

:19:56.:19:58.

of the community. How does your background and what

:19:59.:20:02.

happens to you meet you want to do this? It was incredibly difficult.

:20:03.:20:09.

We had five children and the eldest was only ten, to move out of place

:20:10.:20:13.

which we called home into the unknown, really.

:20:14.:20:17.

Caz and Simon are volunteers at The Well. Last Christmas their lives

:20:18.:20:20.

changed. On a holiday from London, targeted by pickpockets, all their

:20:21.:20:23.

money gone. But, thanks to the centre, they were able to get their

:20:24.:20:28.

lives back on track. With the help of Len and Carol and

:20:29.:20:33.

the church we were able to get married two weeks ago. Carol planned

:20:34.:20:39.

pretty much the whole wedding, she was my maid of honour, and Lennon

:20:40.:20:41.

gave me away. Now more celebrations. Today Carol

:20:42.:20:44.

and Len's hard work was recognised nationally. They won the Inspire

:20:45.:20:50.

Award at a ceremony in London. This award is for the role of

:20:51.:20:54.

Blackpool, all the people that come. People have been kind to us and

:20:55.:20:57.

helped us so we wanted to go out and serve our community.

:20:58.:21:00.

Carol and Len may be having a well`earned day off, but the centre

:21:01.:21:03.

in Blackpool tonight is still open, giving food and warmth to those in

:21:04.:21:05.

need. Happy customers, well done to them

:21:06.:21:17.

both. Indeed. Manchester United manager David

:21:18.:21:20.

Moyes described last night's 5` thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen as his

:21:21.:21:23.

team's best display since he took charge. United were dominant

:21:24.:21:27.

throughout, Nani capping off an excellent team display with their

:21:28.:21:31.

fifth late on. It means the Reds are through to the last 16 with a game

:21:32.:21:39.

to spare. However, their neighbours across the

:21:40.:21:43.

city had already qualified before their match against Viktoria Plzen

:21:44.:21:46.

at the Etihad Stadium ` a game City won 4`2. Edin Dzeko with the fourth

:21:47.:21:52.

goal for the blues. The bookmakers offering 16 to one

:21:53.:21:56.

last night on either of them to win the Champions League, but 33 to one

:21:57.:22:04.

on an all Manchester final. That would be good!

:22:05.:22:08.

When it comes to a day out, Liverpool pretty much has it all.

:22:09.:22:11.

There's the fantastic Albert Dock, The Cavern and Museums. Well, how

:22:12.:22:15.

about adding a visit to the Library to the list?

:22:16.:22:18.

Liverpool's Central Library is the number one tourist attraction in the

:22:19.:22:21.

city, according to travel website Trip Advisor, making it the only

:22:22.:22:24.

public lending library in a UK city to take the top spot. Elaine Dunkley

:22:25.:22:26.

has been along for a look. In Liverppol there's plenty to see

:22:27.:22:39.

and do, with attractions like the Albert Dock and Anfield. But it s a

:22:40.:22:42.

love of the library which is getting rave reviews.

:22:43.:22:53.

It is such a dramatic space, it is a stunning building with the atrium,

:22:54.:22:58.

the steer course is crisscrossing. `` the staircases. Central Library

:22:59.:23:02.

is a cultural gem, a mix of the modern and the classic.

:23:03.:23:05.

After a ?50 million restoration it's now a top attraction.

:23:06.:23:09.

You come in through an 1860s facade which has been restored then you see

:23:10.:23:14.

a dramatic new space. Most people say while and take photographs. I

:23:15.:23:19.

think it is commended for a public library to beleaguered so highly,

:23:20.:23:24.

not least in a city like Liverpool which has tremendous attractions.

:23:25.:23:28.

Ice to be rated so highly. Trip Advisor is voted on by members of

:23:29.:23:32.

the public. I don't 124 attractions around the

:23:33.:23:36.

city, Central Library came in at number one.

:23:37.:23:42.

I phoned into Budweiser that it is number one in Liverpool. `` I've

:23:43.:23:48.

found in Trip Advisor. It is unbelievable, I will

:23:49.:23:51.

definitely bring my grandchildren round to see it.

:23:52.:23:56.

Hands clean ` that is the only password and your inside a treasure

:23:57.:23:59.

house of books to borrow and take home.

:24:00.:24:01.

This is what libraries of the past looked like.

:24:02.:24:04.

Reinvention is the key to not being left on the shelf. Here amongst some

:24:05.:24:08.

of the rarest books in the world there is a kids corner and cafe

:24:09.:24:11.

Trip Advisor will really boost the profile of the library. We have had

:24:12.:24:15.

over 450,000 visitors already, numerous other people who may not

:24:16.:24:19.

have thought of visiting the library will think what is that all about?

:24:20.:24:23.

We are aiming to get 1 million in the first year which will be

:24:24.:24:25.

fantastic. With visitor numbers up, it looks

:24:26.:24:28.

like a happy ending for Liverpool Central Library.

:24:29.:24:33.

It looks spectacular. It is an amazing building and what an

:24:34.:24:36.

accolade when you think of what is in Liverpool that you can visit

:24:37.:24:41.

Speaking of attractions... I knew you would say that!

:24:42.:24:45.

What are you wearing tonight? No strawberries, anyway.

:24:46.:24:51.

Something green, thank you. The last week of November has been so

:24:52.:24:55.

boring, weather`wise. I have been saying the same thing

:24:56.:25:00.

since Monday, I have been talking about clouds and light, patchy rain

:25:01.:25:05.

or spits and spots of rain. I am so pleased I shall be able to say

:25:06.:25:08.

something different for tomorrow because it will change. Tomorrow

:25:09.:25:11.

will turn windy. That is not so good, I know, but it is something

:25:12.:25:16.

different, and we will see blustery showers tomorrow. But tonight, back

:25:17.:25:23.

to the quiet front. Plenty of clouds and light winds initially, the

:25:24.:25:27.

clouds will thicken as we go into Donna bringing light patchy rain in

:25:28.:25:33.

places. Also we will see some missed towards morning, as well, and

:25:34.:25:38.

temperatures well above freezing, between four and seven Celsius. But

:25:39.:25:43.

I think skies will begin to clear from the north, from Cumbria, and

:25:44.:25:47.

here we could see temperatures closer to freezing in rural areas

:25:48.:25:52.

tomorrow morning. We start of cloudy, still some light, patchy

:25:53.:25:56.

rain around, then the winds begin to kick in. Some sunshine around

:25:57.:25:59.

Cumbria tomorrow morning, we have not seen that for a while. In the

:26:00.:26:05.

afternoon you can see cloud breaking up to allow sunshine but also plenty

:26:06.:26:10.

`` plenty of lustre a showers. Also, very strong north`westerly

:26:11.:26:14.

winds through the afternoon. When I tell you the temperatures tomorrow

:26:15.:26:18.

will peak possibly in double figures, eyes of 10 Celsius, the

:26:19.:26:22.

only thing is once you add on the wind chilled tomorrow it is not

:26:23.:26:25.

going to feel quite as warm as that. It will probably feel more like six

:26:26.:26:30.

or seven Celsius with the north`westerly winds. Then we head

:26:31.:26:34.

into the weekend, heading into December. For Saturday, the last day

:26:35.:26:38.

of November, we start with clear skies. Temperatures dropping fairly

:26:39.:26:45.

close to freezing Saturday morning, but it looks as if we will see

:26:46.:26:48.

sunshine because high`pressure slips back in on Saturday and Sunday.

:26:49.:26:52.

Hopefully some sunshine on Saturday and for the first day of December,

:26:53.:27:00.

back to boring, back to clouds. Thanks very much. Quickly have a

:27:01.:27:03.

look at this before we go. Last night the Grammy award`winning

:27:04.:27:10.

band Arcade Fire were in Blackpool. They took the tram to the concept.

:27:11.:27:16.

As you can see, they also wore a giant Papier mache heads as they

:27:17.:27:20.

walked to the venue and were accompanied by a Mariette she

:27:21.:27:25.

banned. `` by a Mariachi band. Does anyone

:27:26.:27:34.

know what their faces are supposed to be like?

:27:35.:27:38.

They are Grammy award winners! I know, silly right. Thanks for

:27:39.:27:40.

watching, goodbye.

:27:41.:27:43.
