:00:00. > :00:00.BBC weather website. That is it all from the BBC's News at Six.
:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and
:00:07. > :00:10.Roger Johnson our top story: Millie's inquest hears she choked to
:00:11. > :00:14.death at nursery ` and how efforts to save her might have made it
:00:15. > :00:17.worse. The court was told she suffered an
:00:18. > :00:21.uncommon complication which would have been difficult to diagnose.
:00:22. > :00:25.Also tonight. Not such a bright idea. As it is
:00:26. > :00:29.revealed children are used to smuggle flares into matches, Everton
:00:30. > :00:33.lead football's fightback. Punching through. A new scheme is
:00:34. > :00:43.launched to get more women to take part in sport. If you go down to the
:00:44. > :00:48.Oxfam shop in Ambleside today you are sure of a big surprise. He there
:00:49. > :00:58.are demands that has created a cash windfall for the charity.
:00:59. > :01:00.Also in the programme, Judy Hobson is in Lancashire speaking to the
:01:01. > :01:06.people directly affected by fracking.
:01:07. > :01:09.I'm here in a pub in the village of Singleton. People here have been
:01:10. > :01:14.telling me how they feel about fracking on their doorstep.
:01:15. > :01:17.An inquest into the death of nine`month`old baby in Stockport has
:01:18. > :01:26.heard attempts to resuscitate her could, inadvertently, have worsened
:01:27. > :01:28.her condition. Today a Consultant Paediatrician told the jury
:01:29. > :01:31.paramedics and nursery staff couldn't have known they were
:01:32. > :01:36.trapping more air in her lungs. Naomi Cornwell reports.
:01:37. > :01:40.Millie Thompson was just nine months old when she died in October last
:01:41. > :01:43.year. She was on only her third full day at Ramillies Hall Nursery in
:01:44. > :01:47.Cheadle Hulme when she began to choke and turn blue while being fed
:01:48. > :01:50.a lunch of mashed shepherd's pie. Earlier in the inquest at Oldham,
:01:51. > :01:54.staff from the nursery had described using back slaps to try to clear
:01:55. > :01:58.Millie's airway as they waited for an ambulance to arrive. She was
:01:59. > :02:02.pronounced dead at Stepping Hill hospital just over an hour after
:02:03. > :02:05.falling ill. Millie's parents Joanne and Daniel were visibly upset in
:02:06. > :02:10.court today as details were given of the attempts made by paramedics to
:02:11. > :02:13.save their daughter. A pathologist Dr Melanie Newbould
:02:14. > :02:17.described how food had partially blocked the airway into one of
:02:18. > :02:21.Millie's lungs, acting as a one way valve so more and more air was going
:02:22. > :02:23.in but none could get out. A consultant paediatrician, Dr Robert
:02:24. > :02:27.Downes said resuscitation attempts could have worsened this condition
:02:28. > :02:34.but it would have been difficult for medical staff to diagnose without
:02:35. > :02:37.carrying out an X`ray. Asked if Millie's condition was advanced by
:02:38. > :02:40.the time the first ambulance arrived, he told the court: "It's
:02:41. > :02:51.not something where we could blame anyone". The inquest continues.
:02:52. > :02:54.Six fire stations are to close in Merseyside with the loss of more
:02:55. > :02:58.than 60 jobs. Under new plans three merged stations would replace them.
:02:59. > :03:02.Fire stations in St Helens, Knowsley and Wirral are among those affected.
:03:03. > :03:05.Merseyside Fire Service hopes it will help save ?6.5 million. A
:03:06. > :03:11.consultation will now take place before any merges or closures go
:03:12. > :03:15.ahead. The jury in the trial of two men
:03:16. > :03:19.accused of the murder of Middleton Soldier Lee Rigby have been shown
:03:20. > :03:22.mobile phone footage of one of the accused speaking immediately after
:03:23. > :03:25.the attack. Fusilier Rigby was attacked outside his barracks in
:03:26. > :03:37.Woolwich in May. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale both deny
:03:38. > :03:41.murder. The Merseyside drugs baron Curtis Warren faces a further ten
:03:42. > :03:46.years in prison after failing to pay its confiscation order of ?10
:03:47. > :03:51.million. The order was issued and believed to be the biggest in
:03:52. > :03:56.Europe. He is serving a 15 year prison sentence for plotting to
:03:57. > :04:01.smuggle cannabis into Jersey. Police have named a man found dead in the
:04:02. > :04:05.Isle of Man on Sunday morning as Neil Edward Roberts. A postmortem
:04:06. > :04:10.revealed the 60`year`old died as a result of injuries sustained during
:04:11. > :04:13.a violent incident. The 45`year`old man and 47`year`old woman have been
:04:14. > :04:15.arrested on suspicion of murder. More than 120 soldiers have marched
:04:16. > :04:18.through Knowsley, marking their homecoming from Afghanistan. The
:04:19. > :04:20.second Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment have already
:04:21. > :04:23.had two similar parades elsewhere in the North West. Around 400 of the
:04:24. > :04:27.battalion's soldiers were deployed to Afghanistan in April, the last
:04:28. > :04:33.time such numbers from the regiment will have served in the country.
:04:34. > :04:37.Children as young as eight are being used to smuggle flares into football
:04:38. > :04:40.grounds. That's according to research, which also found many fans
:04:41. > :04:43.now fear for their safety. The number of incidents involving
:04:44. > :04:47.pyrotechnics has risen this season ` in fact a flare was thrown at
:04:48. > :04:58.Burnley's game at Huddersfield on Saturday. David Ornstein reports.
:04:59. > :05:02.They are the ten yearly's biggest concern when it comes to fans.
:05:03. > :05:07.Flyers and smoke bombs are increasingly being smuggled into
:05:08. > :05:10.football stadiums. In October this happened to an assistant referee
:05:11. > :05:15.giving Aston Villa's match with Tottenham. Fortunately he was not
:05:16. > :05:20.seriously injured. But the fear is that someone in the UK will be,
:05:21. > :05:23.soon. There has been an incident in Bolivia and figured it where a child
:05:24. > :05:28.died. They have been incidents across the world people have had bad
:05:29. > :05:33.injuries died. We have seen fires break out in stadiums. We have been
:05:34. > :05:39.lucky so far in the UK. This woman's regional son was hit by a
:05:40. > :05:43.fire this year. You'll like the back of his neck you could see a big red
:05:44. > :05:49.marks, ash still on the back of his neck. Burning on his skin. It is not
:05:50. > :05:55.until you are in front of one of these, pyrotechnics, flares, smoke
:05:56. > :05:58.bombs, seen for yourself that you actually appreciate the full damage
:05:59. > :06:03.that can be done. We have seen them on cameras, they are having a laugh
:06:04. > :06:08.before they set them off and toss them forward. The consequences are
:06:09. > :06:11.very severe. When you put it into context of a criminal offence. With
:06:12. > :06:16.punishments ranging from stadium bands to present terms, the message
:06:17. > :06:20.from the authorities is that pyrotechnics have no place in
:06:21. > :06:22.football. Fracking for shale gas is an issue
:06:23. > :06:26.that really does divide opinion. that really does divide opinion
:06:27. > :06:28.Opponents fear it will damage the environment, while supporters say it
:06:29. > :06:32.will revolutionise the UK's energy industry. All this week we're
:06:33. > :06:36.examining the issues. Tonight, what impact will fracking have on the
:06:37. > :06:43.communities closest to it? Roger can explain more.
:06:44. > :06:47.Just half a mile from the village of Singleton in Lancashire is the
:06:48. > :06:50.Grange Hill site. If shale gas production is viable and permission
:06:51. > :06:56.is given, fracking could take place there. The process involves pumping
:06:57. > :07:05.fluid 6,000 feet into the Earth to release the gas. It's more than 99%
:07:06. > :07:10.water and sand. The water cracks the rock, sand holds the cracks open so
:07:11. > :07:13.the gas can flow. A small amount of a chemical, similar to contact lens
:07:14. > :07:20.solution, reduces friction allow gas to flow more freely. But what would
:07:21. > :07:24.it look like above ground? The site is about the size of a football
:07:25. > :07:28.pitch. At its peak it could hold up to ten vertical wells, with four
:07:29. > :07:31.lateral wells off each one. Cuadrilla would pipe water to the
:07:32. > :07:36.site, but an additional six lorries a day could be used for the first
:07:37. > :07:41.five years. Cuadrilla say the lorry route would not go through the
:07:42. > :07:42.village. But what about jobs? The Institute of Directors thinks 1,100
:07:43. > :07:45.Institute of Directors thinks 1 100 posts would be created per site,
:07:46. > :07:52.including security staff, truck drivers, geologists, engineers and
:07:53. > :07:59.construction workers. And energy, it's claimed it could produce enough
:08:00. > :08:02.to heat 417,000 homes. The site could operate for between 30 and 50
:08:03. > :08:05.year, after which it would be plugged with concrete and steel, and
:08:06. > :08:10.the site returned to green field land. Well, what do people there
:08:11. > :08:12.think? Let's go live to our Environment Correspondent Judy
:08:13. > :08:25.Hobson, who's in Singleton for us tonight. Welcome to the Miller arms.
:08:26. > :08:27.We are the few mail from Blackpool and if you remember the pain
:08:28. > :08:33.minister David Cameron said he hoped this area would become the shale gas
:08:34. > :08:37.capital of Britain. We are in walking distance from one site where
:08:38. > :08:41.fracking could start in just a few years time. What should people round
:08:42. > :08:45.here think? I have been talking to people, having tea in the pub. There
:08:46. > :08:49.is mixed opinions here but I have to say the majority of people still
:08:50. > :08:53.haven't made their minds up. I have been out and about in the region
:08:54. > :08:55.asking people what they think about the potential of having the fracking
:08:56. > :09:07.industry right here. Andrew Pemberton's family has been
:09:08. > :09:12.farming in the area for more than a hundred years But he thinks fracking
:09:13. > :09:21.could ruin his business. He's concerned about methane gas leaking.
:09:22. > :09:24.If the grass is coated with any bad water, contaminated water, they will
:09:25. > :09:28.eat the contaminated water as well as ingesting the gas. His main
:09:29. > :09:34.concern isn't fracking itself, but the wells once the companies have
:09:35. > :09:42.finished with them. Who that person? Who maintains them? What is going to
:09:43. > :09:44.still come up? Where is the contaminant going? The industry says
:09:45. > :09:48.their procedures are safe and wells will be constantly monitored when
:09:49. > :09:53.fracking has finished. Down the road in Lytham Bob Dennitt has other
:09:54. > :10:02.concerns. In April 2011 he felt an earthquake measuring 2.3 on the
:10:03. > :10:07.ricter scale. It felt like a bus riding to my house, it frightens me
:10:08. > :10:08.and I was getting ready to jump out of bed and get out of the house.
:10:09. > :10:10.and I was getting ready to jump out of bed and get out of the house The
:10:11. > :10:13.cause of that earthquake was fracking. The industry insists these
:10:14. > :10:16.are rare. Bob isn't convinced But fracking has plenty of support on
:10:17. > :10:22.the Fylde coast. I don't think it is safe. I don't think it will ever be
:10:23. > :10:32.safe. Years now anti`fracking campaigner. I have eight beautiful
:10:33. > :10:38.grandchildren. And that is why I am fighting it. They are the future.
:10:39. > :10:42.Fracking has spread of support in the area. If it does go ahead in the
:10:43. > :10:45.region, the industry says it would create thousands of jobs. Steve
:10:46. > :10:51.Pye's runs a company which helps to promote local business. If we could
:10:52. > :10:55.attract an industry whereby people are going to be coming here for the
:10:56. > :11:03.great reasons, they want to move or create jobs within the sector here
:11:04. > :11:06.it would solve many problems with unemployment, people with low
:11:07. > :11:10.aspirations. We can turn that around. The new industry like this
:11:11. > :11:13.would be fantastic for the area. Fantastic for the country. As well
:11:14. > :11:26.as jobs, the fracking industry promises community grants. The idea
:11:27. > :11:29.of community grants is not new to come here. This is Haverigg in
:11:30. > :11:31.Cumbria ` just 20 miles from Sellafield. The nuclear industry
:11:32. > :11:36.paid for most this community centre, the local head teacher says its
:11:37. > :11:42.vital. One what we hear is, while. People come into the building and
:11:43. > :11:47.that is what we wanted to hear. Her children use it daily. Monday to
:11:48. > :11:50.Friday. Their younger children have nursery care, school children eat
:11:51. > :11:54.their meals here and he did not have that before. The local community
:11:55. > :11:57.have wanted here. Its one of a number of grants nuclear industry
:11:58. > :12:00.has given out in the West Cumbria. Back in Singelton those opposed to
:12:01. > :12:04.fracking say community money wont make a difference to them. Others
:12:05. > :12:12.are still trying to make up their minds about an industry which could
:12:13. > :12:18.be on their doorstep. Tino roughly is a resident in the area. You are
:12:19. > :12:23.against fracking. We do need energy, isn't this a case of not in my
:12:24. > :12:27.backyard? I have been resetting this for more than two years. It is a
:12:28. > :12:31.case of not in anyone's backyard. The risks are too great, they should
:12:32. > :12:35.not be impacting on anyone in this country or the world. We have seen
:12:36. > :12:38.the harm done in America and Canada and Australia and we do not think it
:12:39. > :12:44.should be inflicted on the United Kingdom as well. It will be much
:12:45. > :12:48.better regulated here. BC Canada is the best declaration, they say
:12:49. > :12:51.Australia is the best regulation. Here we just watched the environment
:12:52. > :12:56.agency have their budget and staff cut. How will they regulate when
:12:57. > :12:59.they are experiencing cuts? They are asking for thousands of Wells. How
:13:00. > :13:03.will the environment agency get round to all those wells? Because we
:13:04. > :13:07.know they want they cannot possibly do that with their manpower, they
:13:08. > :13:11.will be asking the industry to self right, click the boxes and bought
:13:12. > :13:16.back. The industry says there will not be that many wells. In order to
:13:17. > :13:20.meet what they say they are going to be producing financially they would
:13:21. > :13:22.have to be a vast mother of Wells, they are making promises about the
:13:23. > :13:26.amount of energy and the amount of money that is going to come out of
:13:27. > :13:28.this for the investors that they cannot possibly live up to it
:13:29. > :13:32.without producing thousands of Wells. The Company with the safety,
:13:33. > :13:37.quad villa, has been talking to the community. And he's spoken to them?
:13:38. > :13:43.They say there is no legal and what will be infected and earthquakes are
:13:44. > :13:46.rare. We have been to every public meeting and the company say that
:13:47. > :13:51.fracking will not harm your ground water or aquifer. Potentially no.
:13:52. > :13:56.But the process of extracting shale gas from start to finish will very
:13:57. > :13:58.likely have an effect on our water. Because everything from wellhead
:13:59. > :14:02.failure which happens to one in six Wells, two accidents at the surface
:14:03. > :14:06.which we get to the ground water with chemicals and so on, how do you
:14:07. > :14:09.propose we solve the power issue? There are few chances to be found in
:14:10. > :14:14.renewables, we are just not investing. Where we are investing in
:14:15. > :14:18.shale gas and giving huge tax breaks, if we instead had that money
:14:19. > :14:21.coming back into the cough recently invested to decent energy solutions
:14:22. > :14:25.from renewables we would not only creates jobs but we would keep
:14:26. > :14:30.energy solutions. Thank you very much. This is fracking week can't
:14:31. > :14:43.north`western it, tomorrow we have a special report from Peter Marshall.
:14:44. > :14:46.Thank you very much. You can get in touch with us and tell us what you
:14:47. > :14:54.think. Lots of people have been e`mailing and tweeting. You can find
:14:55. > :14:57.us on Twitter and also on Facebook. Very diverse opinions.
:14:58. > :15:02.Still to come on North West Tonight: Exercising their right to get fit `
:15:03. > :15:04.but how do we get more women to take up sport?
:15:05. > :15:08.And there's barely room for anything else, as nearly 500 teddy bears are
:15:09. > :15:19.donated to a charity shop in Cumbria. Dave Guest has been putting
:15:20. > :15:22.them on the spot. Over the last few years, we've seen
:15:23. > :15:27.library hours reduced and even shut down as councils struggle with
:15:28. > :15:30.budget cuts. On Thursday, Sefton Council will vote on whether or not
:15:31. > :15:34.to cut the number of their libraries. Voluntary groups have
:15:35. > :15:38.been encouraged to take over such facilities. But in Sefton two groups
:15:39. > :15:47.which want to do so are unlikely to get the chance. Here's our political
:15:48. > :15:50.editor Arif Ansari. Since 2011, 19 libraries plus 12
:15:51. > :15:53.Since 2011, 19 libraries plus 1 mobile ones have closed. Community
:15:54. > :15:57.groups have taken over twelve other facilities. But the pressure is far
:15:58. > :16:00.from over. A further 18 libraries plus ten mobile ones are currently
:16:01. > :16:10.threatened with closure. Now let's take a closer look at Sefton's 3
:16:11. > :16:15.libraries. Two, Churchtown and Orrell, have already closed. Five
:16:16. > :16:23.more are currently under review. A charitable group is likely to take
:16:24. > :16:29.over Ainsdale. But for the libraries in Aintree and Crosby, the future
:16:30. > :16:35.remains unclear. Crosby library has an uncertain future but a proud
:16:36. > :16:40.past. It was opened in 1905, the American philanthropist Andrew
:16:41. > :16:45.Carnegie provided most of the money. Crosby Borough Council gave the land
:16:46. > :16:50.and the great Liverpool merchants prod the books. This game is the
:16:51. > :16:53.obese or it has been recognised as being of significance
:16:54. > :16:56.architecturally. Your local campaign group has offered to continue the
:16:57. > :17:01.service at city have been knocked back. Sefton are taking this
:17:02. > :17:04.approach, it is disappointing. They are not even prepared to give us a
:17:05. > :17:09.chance of a short period of time to take this on. There are no risks
:17:10. > :17:14.attached to this. Sefton Council is expected to vote on Thursday, but in
:17:15. > :17:18.a statement they have said that the libraries that are closing have
:17:19. > :17:20.existed for generations and it is extremely disappointing that the
:17:21. > :17:24.government savings have forced them to consider closing any of them. We
:17:25. > :17:30.have tried our very best to conduct a library review in the fairest
:17:31. > :17:36.possible way. Devastated. He goes all the time. It is like a day out
:17:37. > :17:40.for him. The facilities they offer for the pensioner and people in my
:17:41. > :17:48.age bracket, they are 100%. Friends of mine, we used to take
:17:49. > :17:52.tuition in using computers. Your local MP says it is difficult for
:17:53. > :17:55.everyone. I am optimistic they make be able to reach an agreement with
:17:56. > :17:59.the council but you must remember that the council still must put in
:18:00. > :18:05.significant amounts of money to make these bids viable. And if that goes
:18:06. > :18:11.wrong, the council will end up spending more money, not less.
:18:12. > :18:14.Carnegie library looks likely to close after more than a century of
:18:15. > :18:21.lending. In the end, charity was not enough.
:18:22. > :18:25.Let's bring you some sports news. Wigan owner Dave Whelan says he
:18:26. > :18:28.asked manager Owen Coyle to resign ` because of his poor team selections
:18:29. > :18:31.and the players lack of fight. Coyle left the club yesterday following a
:18:32. > :18:34.disappointing start to the club's Championship season. They'd lost
:18:35. > :18:41.their last three games. Whelan said the new manager would be someone who
:18:42. > :18:47.get the team to "graft and fight". Sporting memorabilia deviously owned
:18:48. > :18:50.by the wisdom that the Alton footballer Nat Lofthouse has gone on
:18:51. > :18:53.display at the ten's Museum. The collection of medals and trophies
:18:54. > :18:57.and keepsakes Potterton auction by a local consortium. You might remember
:18:58. > :19:01.be deported this north`western it. They wanted to keep it in Bolton.
:19:02. > :19:04.Rugby League and some good news for St Helens fans. James Roby has
:19:05. > :19:07.signed a new five`year contract with the club, effectively committing the
:19:08. > :19:10.remainder of his playing career to the Saints. The England hooker had
:19:11. > :19:15.attracted plenty of interest from Australia but has decided to stay
:19:16. > :19:18.with his home town club. I bet they are all pleased.
:19:19. > :19:20.The North West has its fair share of successful sportswomen, Victoria
:19:21. > :19:25.Pendleton, Beth Tweddle and Dame Sarah Storey to name but a few. But
:19:26. > :19:29.there are still far fewer women than men playing sport. And in Bury there
:19:30. > :19:32.are attempts to change that. The town is halfway through a year`long

:19:57. > :20:02.Sakina's getting her message across at this taster session but is the

:20:08. > :20:10.advertised and I thought what a good thing it was and I thought I would
:20:11. > :20:15.give it a go. It was my friend who mentioned it, and with women coming
:20:16. > :20:21.on the one it is a bit so I was glad she encouraged me to come. Ex`mac I
:20:22. > :20:24.hope I haven't scared them off because I get quite passionate. I am
:20:25. > :20:29.passionate about what I do. I do hope they are seeing the fact that
:20:30. > :20:33.they can have fun and exercise. Why is this experiment happening here?
:20:34. > :20:38.Because 6.8 million women regularly exercise, much less than the 8.
:20:39. > :20:43.billion men who do, so they are spending ?2 million in Billy to see
:20:44. > :20:47.if it will make a difference. Bring yourself more in the middle. The
:20:48. > :20:53.sports minister is keen to work up a sweat but not so keen to guarantee
:20:54. > :20:57.future funding. You can spend ? million in every UK town? It is
:20:58. > :21:02.about lessons learned and we will learn a lot about what happens here.
:21:03. > :21:10.Will there be more funding? We will see what lessons are learned. The
:21:11. > :21:14.lessons that very's most famous sports on one CD can to learn as
:21:15. > :21:19.this. We need a bigger push to get more children and parents involved.
:21:20. > :21:24.We need to create a family culture, a way of life for people. When we
:21:25. > :21:27.step forward six months to the end of this pilot, will enough people
:21:28. > :21:35.have changed their way of life to make this money well spent?
:21:36. > :21:41.They are all enjoying themselves. It was hard for people to go to the
:21:42. > :21:47.gym, especially women. But if you can.
:21:48. > :21:54.Charity shops can be a great place to grab a bargain, he beckons
:21:55. > :21:59.recently deleted designer gear. It was one in London.
:22:00. > :22:04.The ration is the number of people who could call in at any one time.
:22:05. > :22:08.If you are after a teddy bear for Christmas Oxfam in Ambleside could
:22:09. > :22:14.be political. They can barely fit any more stop him.
:22:15. > :22:16.That is because they have almost 500 teddies to sell facts on the
:22:17. > :22:20.generosity of the local Lady who left her impressive collection to
:22:21. > :22:25.them in her will. They are cute and cuddly and they
:22:26. > :22:29.can be quite costly. These are not just teddy bears, these are safe
:22:30. > :22:36.teddy bears, and if the name since the million that is because you had

:22:43. > :22:45.auction he would make then in the region of between 3000 and ?400 . Of
:22:46. > :22:51.course not every there is worth that sort of money. But at the Oxfam shop
:22:52. > :22:55.in Ambleside they are awash with the things. A local woman left the
:22:56. > :23:00.entire contents of her home to the Oxfam shop when she passed away.
:23:01. > :23:04.When volunteers arrived to create out a bargain for a big surprise.
:23:05. > :23:12.Every single room was full of teddy bears, one room was about 12 foot
:23:13. > :23:18.square and it was four foot deep in teddy bears, from wall to wall. The
:23:19. > :23:21.Oxfam volunteers spent many weeks carefully sorting, cleaning and
:23:22. > :23:27.valuing the Bears. In all three have discovered round 180 toys. That
:23:28. > :23:31.explains why the price tickets on some of these bears are rather more
:23:32. > :23:35.than you would expect to find on the shelves of a charity shop.
:23:36. > :23:40.Absolutely, we are hoping to make as much money as we can. People have
:23:41. > :23:46.not really is the place? Your Mac and nobody has. They realise it is
:23:47. > :23:51.for charity. In addition to these bears the friendly number of other
:23:52. > :23:54.rare bears and the little toys. Since he put them on sale
:23:55. > :23:59.undertakings have gone up by ?12,000. In case you're wondering,
:24:00. > :24:03.all of the rare bears do not live permanently at the Oxfam shop, they
:24:04. > :24:07.are being secured at secure locations across Cumbria.
:24:08. > :24:25.Cute and cuddly. And the teddies! I was starting to feel left out
:24:26. > :24:29.Good evening. We have had a lot of close around for the first couple of
:24:30. > :24:32.days of December, plenty of close around and it looks as though it
:24:33. > :24:37.will be all change tomorrow. Just for one day. You will see some
:24:38. > :24:40.sunshine will stop then we get into Thursday, it will be quite windy on
:24:41. > :24:45.Thursday and he could seek deals in places, particularly around the
:24:46. > :24:48.coast. Then on Friday the territories will be shocking in one
:24:49. > :24:52.or two places during the daytime. Possibly no higher than three or
:24:53. > :24:56.four degrees. I will show you the breakdown at the end of the
:24:57. > :25:00.forecast. Tonight is not looking too bad, you can see the start of cloud
:25:01. > :25:03.and then the change begins. A weather front begins to slip sows
:25:04. > :25:09.and brings with it some heavy rain by dawn. That reign as you can see
:25:10. > :25:12.continues to move south. We will hang on to clear skies over Cumbria
:25:13. > :25:17.had here, I think we're likely to see some frostbite. You can see
:25:18. > :25:21.temperatures, at the Calder seven, the action of the Lancashire. I
:25:22. > :25:24.think the Isle of Man temperatures will be colder than my graphic
:25:25. > :25:30.suggests, so tomorrow morning a chilly start for all of us, the
:25:31. > :25:35.cloud and rain continued to sink South and look at this rate sky
:25:36. > :25:40.tomorrow. Plenty of sunshine on offer, the winds begin to pick up to
:25:41. > :25:43.the afternoon. But that the wind arrow, they have disappeared, they
:25:44. > :25:47.continue to rise until late afternoon saw plenty of sunshine,
:25:48. > :25:52.isolated showers here there. Or eight degrees at best but really it
:25:53. > :25:55.was you add in the wind chill and step out your front door as usual it
:25:56. > :26:02.will feel Calder and suggested on paper. Tomorrow night still plenty
:26:03. > :26:05.of clear skies to be had but look at the wind arrow they are beginning to
:26:06. > :26:10.increase. We will see the winds pick`up tomorrow night as we head
:26:11. > :26:15.into dawn, heading into Thursday we could seek deals start to pick up on
:26:16. > :26:17.the coast. Another cold night but this time Cheshire is rarely keep
:26:18. > :26:22.the clear skies and temperatures you will fall fairly close to freezing.
:26:23. > :26:26.Then we have a yellow weather warning from the Met office for
:26:27. > :26:30.Thursday, this is for wind. The strong wind on Thursday. As I have
:26:31. > :26:35.suggested that the start of the forecast we could seek deals on high
:26:36. > :26:39.ground and also adding the coast. Very cold as well, if you add on the
:26:40. > :26:44.wind`chill 150 and it will be a cold day. This is the breakdown. Friday
:26:45. > :26:48.will be three or four degrees. Very cold. I know you used to play
:26:49. > :26:53.basketball securing the sport. We were looking Elliott at why fewer
:26:54. > :26:58.women than men take part in sport regularly. We have some e`mails.
:26:59. > :27:01.Christine Ross says probably because they are too busy looking after
:27:02. > :27:08.their kids, cooking and the house. As you have a similar one. Sue says
:27:09. > :27:14.because we are too busy doing the shopping, housework, taxis and is
:27:15. > :27:19.meals. The couple of people made point but fracking, John Cannon says
:27:20. > :27:22.wealth production is required. It is a fantastic opportunity for our kids
:27:23. > :27:25.future. Meikle said if we had all of these
:27:26. > :27:29.newbies in the late 18th century the Industrial Revolution said `` would
:27:30. > :27:33.never have happened. Charles says everyone wants cheap
:27:34. > :27:38.gas but no one wants fracking. It is illogical. Last night we heard from
:27:39. > :27:42.one of the pro`factors, tonight it was from the other side of the
:27:43. > :27:47.argument. We will view of the the States. Good night.
:27:48. > :27:48.It has been grey once again today. There are big changes on
