Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
Roger Johnson. Our top story. Christmas travel chaos after | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
warnings the region will be battered by 90 mile an hour winds. We are | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
most concerned about Cumbria at the moment, the people living or | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
travelling to Cumbria during this break need to keep a close eye on | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
the weather forecasts. The warning comes a man dies after falling into | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
a river in the Lake District. Also tonight: Facing their toughest | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
challenge ever, but what treat will Bolton's Atlantic rowers have on | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Christmas Day? Merry Christmas! | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
And join us for our last night in Bethlehem, where the countdown is | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
about to begin. Boys, are we ready? Yes! And we are celebrating all of | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
our Christmas Stars, but we have one more to give. You will it go to? We | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
will supply them later on in the programme. They haven't got a clue! | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
Why this Liverpool chorister can't wait for midnight mass to be over. | :01:17. | :01:39. | |
It's meant to be the time of year we can relax and forget our troubles, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
but bad winter weather is bringing problems for many people travelling | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
in and out of the North West. And according to the Met Office it's | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
only going to get worse. Today it issued a yellow warning, that winds | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
of up to 90 miles per hour could hit the region tomorrow. Our reporter | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Ian Haslam is at Manchester Piccadilly for us now, and Ian, it's | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
been a slow Christmas getaway for some. | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
What nobody wants on one of the big `` busiest travel days of the year | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
is travel disruptions to their plans. The weather was worse today | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
by the travel situation was better. The advice to people is that if they | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
could get here before three o'clock, especially if they were | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
headed to London, because the journey would be smoother. That is | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the way it has transpired. Those people were the lucky ones. The | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
people arriving now are facing problems. Train to London used in | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
are being massively delayed. Trains returning to the North West are also | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
being badly delayed because of a power supply fairly Elvir in | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Watford. Not the ideas start to many people's Christmas holidays. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
If there's one thing that's always likely to complicate Christmas it's | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
the weather. Especially if you're travelling by train over the next | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
couple of days. We have got a ticket but for how the success evening but | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
I am trying to get an earlier one because I am worried about delays. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Most affected are trains to London. Virgin usually runs three services | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
an hour to the capital, each carrying up to 400 passengers. But | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
this afternoon came weather`related timetable changes. The trains did | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
change frequency from three in our two two an hour as a result of the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
bad weather. We have adduced ourselves to one train per hour. It | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
ourselves to one train per hour It is over one hour and it is taking | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
about three hours. No reported delays, but high winds have brought | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
wobbly flying and drama to Manchester Airport today. An Airbus | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
380 passenger plane similar to this had to abort its first landing. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Having landed safely at the second attempt, one passenger tweeted his | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
relief, saying he might go and hug the pilot. Meanwhile, Liverpool John | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Lennon Airport is on stand`by for flights diverted from Southern | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
England. We just let the airlines know that if they need to divert, | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
that Liverpool is open. It also means a busy time for the Highways | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Agency. According to the Met Office, worse weather is on the way, with | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
winds of up 80 per hour predicted for the North West tomorrow. We | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
appreciate you have to make journeys. If you do not have to, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
journeys. If you do not have to please stay at home. But if you do, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
plan very carefully, give yourself plenty of time. We are most | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
concerned about Cumbria at the moment. People living or travelling | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
to Cumbria for Christmas and new year break need to keep a really | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
close eye on the weather forecast. Meanwhile as it stands, a small | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
number of flood warnings have been issued in the region, a number | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
that's likely to increase if the rain continues. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
There is some disruption to the isle of man steam packet ferry crossing. | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
Keep an eye on that if you were headed that way. Back to you in the | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
studio. As Ian says, gales and storms have | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
been causing huge problems across the region. And we're told it's | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
likely to get worse over the next 24 hours. Eno will have a full forecast | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
later, but she's here now to tell us where is likely to be hardest hit. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Eno, has the Met Office issued a weather warning? It is valid until | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
2am tomorrow, and it will be potentially damaging gusts of winds | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
to come over the next 24 hours here in the North West. Which parts of | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
the region are likely to get the worst of it? This storm is coming | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
from America. It is going to Scotland and Northern Ireland | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
tomorrow and as he crossed the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man will be the | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
first place to see the very strong winds. Anything from 70 mph up to 80 | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
miles per hour. These are severe gales and they will continue to | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
cross and they will make landfall. We are likely to see very strong | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
gasps over the tops of the Pennines of stop And tell us about the | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Environment Agency's flood warnings? We had plenty of rain today and | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
there is plenty rain to come. 14 there is plenty rain to come. 14 | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
flood alerts, but I will bring a full forecasts to update you on | :05:53. | :06:02. | |
those at the end of the programme. A man's body has been found following | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
an extensive search after he fell into the River Rothay at Ambleside | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
in the Lake District. Our reporter Dan Johnson is at the scene now. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Dan Johnson is at the scene now Dan, what do we know about what | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
happened? There was heavy rain this morning on | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
top of big downpours over the weekend, so the rivers right through | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
every are heavily swollen and very fast flowing. A man has been | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
reported as filing into the river just as it flows into Lake | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
Windermere here. That was around 2:30pm this afternoon. A huge rescue | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
operation was put into action the police, firefighters and mountain | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
rescue and search and rescue helicopter were all unable to locate | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
him in time and he was pulled from the water here at around 330. He did | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
not survive. A casualty of the storms that are not hitting the West | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Coast. There have been some properties affected in North Cumbria | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
over the weekend and the railway line was closed for a wild. It has | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
now reopened but there are concerns that, with more rain on the way, | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
there could be perhaps flashed funding tomorrow. ``/funding | :07:05. | :07:16. | |
tomorrow `` flash flooding tomorrow. We will get a further update on the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
weather later in the programme. Staying with rough weather, and | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
while you tuck into your turkey this Christmas, spare a thought for a | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
team from Bolton who will be battling with the elements in the | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
world's toughest rowing race. Instead of being at home on | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Wednesday, they'll be a third of the way into a 3,000 mile trip across | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
the Atlantic raising cash for charity. They've been surviving on | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
dried food rations, but as Stuart Pollitt reports, they've a treat | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
onboard for Christmas Day. Imagine spending Christmas Day here. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
That's what these Bolton businessmen will be doing. They're currently a | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
third of the way through the toughest rowing race in the world. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
The weather conditions were pretty hostile, with 40 foot waves. At home | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
Mark's family are following his progress, and finally coming to | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
terms with how long it's going to take. How long will he be away for? | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Will it be a wake `` week or something? It will be a good couple | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
of months. But Tom and his mum Tracey have, almost, adapted to a | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
Christmas without dad. We have not got any Christmas lights outside | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
because our dad just always goes up there and put them up. We are | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
probably going to sing a couple of Christmas carols. I have got a | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
father Christmas beer. We have eight `` father Chris's beard. We have a | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
ham and chocolates. The highlight of Christmas Day will be the phone call | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
home. It is difficult to try and reshape what they have been through. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
We can get a picture of how tough the conditions are. Tracey and Tom | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
are planning to meet Mark in Antigua. Hopefully he'll arrive at | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
the end of January. Now, it's the big one. The switch on | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
of the most iconic Christmas tree in the world. It's Bethlehem, Manger | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Square, and an image that will be beamed around the world. The | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
pressure is mounting for the Liverpool Christmas tree decorators, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
but there's always time for a nice cup of tea. In the first of two | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
reports Jayne Barrett reports on how it's not just a job. | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
Let me introduce Omar. Or as the team call him. Ha`ha! The language | :09:43. | :10:02. | |
barrier hasn't got in the way of friendships. Couldn't do it without | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
them? Wouldn't want to do it without them to be honest. We're pals now | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
for a year, yes? This job is the only one Omar has had all year. One | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
in four are unemployed here in Bethlehem. Life isn't easy in the | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
walled city. Israel places restrictions on where Palestinians | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
can go. The freedom of movement that you | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
can't cross. You cannot work. You cannot go from place to place. So | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
this is difficult to survive in it. Are you considered a security risk? | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
I am not a security risk at all, Are you considered a security risk? | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
I am not a security risk at all I I am not a security risk at all, I | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
am just a normal person. But Israel says the restrictions are necessary. | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
The security threat is real. The switch on is just a few hours | :10:53. | :11:13. | |
away, the team have a last minute invitation. T with Omar. It's | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
incredible. It's like living in a cave. Ha`ha, how long have you lived | :11:20. | :11:34. | |
here? Who else lives here then? Now? My mother and father and my sister | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
and children, two girls, and my brother and Yousef and me and my | :11:39. | :11:50. | |
wife. The mentee, peach tea. `` lemon tea. Pleasure to meet you. | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
wife. The mentee, peach tea. `` lemon tea. Pleasure to meet you I | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
lemon tea. Pleasure to meet you. I don't know an Omar, I only know | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Haha! Haha! Do you think your mum could try? Haha! How do you say | :12:00. | :12:16. | |
salud? Sate! Happiness and laughter. Haha! I complained when I had two | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
brothers in my room. You don't know how lucky you are at home. Amazing. | :12:26. | :12:38. | |
Masalama. For now. Because in four hours, the lights go on. Hopefully. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
We cannot wait. Some lovely stuff there. Really heart`warming stuff | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
there, and stay with us for the big switch on later on in the programme, | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
but now to more heart`warming stuff, our Christmas Stars. | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
All through December we have been bringing you the stories of everyday | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
people showing kindness to others. We have been amazed at the | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
generosity of spirit here in the North West. Our reporter Naomi | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
Cornwell is in Stretford. She joins us now. | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
You can't beat a brass band, very festive and uplifting, uplifting | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
just like our Christmas Stars. You nominated them, we filmed the most | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
moving stories, but there were lots of you who deserved praise. So keep | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
your eyes peeled as we look back at our Christmas Stars. You might be | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
getting a thanks! For all this good work you have done | :13:33. | :13:59. | |
for Josephine. We found out that he had a brain tumour. It had everybody | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
hard. He put his fronts before himself. We meet every Friday, the | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
1230, three course meal. He used to run around with his car picking us | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
up so we did not have to walk. She is there six days a week and she | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
works really hard. All you needed someone to reach out their hand and | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
say, hang me and I will help you through this stage. It is great for | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
other people to see that. We couldn't get through without people | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
like June, who helped us see that we can carry on. He bought Sarah a bath | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
and a complete suite. It was brilliant. He did not have to do it | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
but he did. She really doesn't so many things for so many people. He | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
is a wonderful person. Absolutely shocked! Never won anything in my | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
life! You're a star! That is brilliant. Thank you very much. | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
Thank you. Thank you so much. We have got a rather large Christmas | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
tree, so it is going on the top. have got a rather large Christmas | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
tree, so it is going on the top You make me feel about 20. This is a bit | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
of a surprise. Appreciation for all you have done. Thank you very much. | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
Thank you. It just makes it all worthwhile. | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
They don't look like it right now but this is actually a marching | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
band, a running band in fact. A band that ran the London Marathon in a | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
record time, putting them in the Guinness Book of Records. They met | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
in Huddersfield, but many are based here in the North West. And they're | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
all amazing, but particularly the founder of the band Mike Lomas. Step | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
forward, Mike, because your friend Tim Hewitt got in touch with us to | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
tell us how you're the driving force behind fundraising tens of thousands | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
of pounds for charity and he nominated you as one of North West | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Tonight's Christmas Stars. You are one of our stars, so well done! Tim, | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
why is Mike so special? He is a fundraising dynamo. It is hard | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
enough to organise a brass band as it is. This is the second time | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
you've got a band to run the marathon for charity. Mike, you're | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
doing the London Marathon again next year. How much hoping to raise this | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
time? We will try to make ?60,000. year. How much hoping to raise this | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
time? We will try to make ?60,0 0. Not easy when you have an | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
instrument? No, not really. We're going to let you play out the | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
programme. Well done, Mike, for your extraordinary efforts, and to all | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
our Christmas Stars around the North West, for all your amazing acts of | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
generosity. Some heart`warming stories for the festive season. | :17:05. | :17:16. | |
Fantastic to see the final Christmas star given up. `` given out. He has | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
a huge smile on his face. If you saw the name of anyone that you know on | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
the screen, we had so many of them, and unfortunately we cannot give | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
them all a Christmas not. Great stuff. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
We will have our last Christmas Star tomorrow night. It will be Liverpool | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
schoolgirl Bethany McGivern, who has been raising money for a World War | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
One memorial. The run`up to Christmas is a busy time for most of | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
us. If you think you've been busy then spare a thought for one | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
choirboy from Liverpool. It's been a momentous year for 11`year`old Jack | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Topping. He's been made an ambassador for Save the Children, | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
played before the Queen and will be appearing on the Strictly Christmas | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Special. Earlier today he broke off from his | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
packed schedule and came into see us and I started by asking him what's | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
been the highlight of his year. I have got three will stop the first | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
one is singing to the Queen. `` I have got three. The first one is | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
singing to the green `` the Queen. Another one was meeting valid Jones. | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
What are you doing last year? Probably doing homework. It has been | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
an incredible journey. You have to pinch ourselves sometimes. Yes. It | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
doesn't feel real. `` pinch yourself sometimes. The hard work pays off. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Is it right you are not allowed to eat chocolate? Not before icing I | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
cannot have 50 drink and dairy. `` fizzy drinks and dairy. That will be | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
difficult. You are singing on Christmas Eve. Then I can go mad | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
with chocolate! Selection boxes all around. What do you want for | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Christmas, apart from chocolate What ever I get, it will be a really | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
nice Christmas, because I am able to spend it with my Emily and relax, | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
because I have been busy busy. The things you have done this year the | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
children who are less fortunate than yourself is you have been to Africa. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
What was that like? It was quite heartbreaking. To see the projects | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
that save the children do, it is quite upsetting, because they are | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
the same age as me, the children. I am a child. I do not have the same | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
opportunity as me. And you have a single out that is raising money for | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
the charity. Tell us a bit about it? Well, the single is out now, and the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |

Night later in the programme. It's a performance worth waiting around | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
for. Back to Bethlehem. The Palestinian | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Prime Minister is on the way. There are snipers on the roofs of Manger | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Square. So when they flick the switch, that tree better light up! | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
Lets join Ged, Zane, Al, Tony and Dan for the very last time. What an | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
adventure it's been. Here's Jayne McCubbin. | :20:50. | :21:02. | |
Merry Christmas! It's the big day. Are we ready? We are! We are set. | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
Nothing else to do. Job done? Just wait. And pray. And we're in the | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
right place to pray! The stress! wait. And pray. And we're in the | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
right place to pray! The stress! The mass! This does not bode well. Zane | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
is the spark. The man with the biggest job of them all. | :21:26. | :21:35. | |
Even before the switch is flicked, the team have become local | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
celebrities, with locals and tourists asking for photos in the | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
street. Check you lot out local celebs! You going to get big headed | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
now, Tony? Already am. It'd be unusual not to get this sort of | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
attention! Every year they come here and make great job like this one. As | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
light fades, Manger Square fills. The Palestinian PM is moments away, | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
but all the Everton supporters can think of is a match back home. The | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
PM of Palestine is about to arrive in about ten seconds and you've | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
forgotten about the tree because we've just had a text message. 3`1, | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
we've just had a text message. `1, lad! Zane, you owe me a tenner. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Liverpool is being beaten! As the Prime Minister arrive, a sniper | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
watches over the square. How are we feeling, Alan? I'm ok I'll start | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
worrying when a little red dot lands on my chest. I'm feeling really | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
relaxed. The most important bit is done. It's near the end of the | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
season. Liverpool have just been beat. And if anything does go wrong, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
it's on Zane's head! Thank you! And so the countdown begins. | :22:37. | :22:49. | |
