:00:00. > :00:00.George. Thank you. That's all so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One
:00:00. > :00:08.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight, with Roger Johnson and
:00:09. > :00:10.Annabel Tiffin. Our top story tonight.
:00:11. > :00:14.Claims of safety short cuts at Alder Hey hospital in Merseyside. A report
:00:15. > :00:18.calls for urgent action. We're live at the hospital. Also tonight.
:00:19. > :00:21.Could the Lake District join Liverpool waterfront, The Pyramids
:00:22. > :00:26.and the Taj Mahal, after it's proposed for World Heritage status?
:00:27. > :00:28.Thoughtless and insensitive. A Manchester United footballer
:00:29. > :00:39.apologises after dressing as a suicide bomber for a fancy dress
:00:40. > :00:42.party. How would he feel if I had a party that glamourised the Munich
:00:43. > :00:45.air disaster. And there's not much call for
:00:46. > :01:01.outdoor swimming pools just now, but campaigners are still determined to
:01:02. > :01:06.save the Grange`over`Sands Lido. Alder Hey Hospital admitted that
:01:07. > :01:10.urgent action is needed to avoid a serious incident in operating
:01:11. > :01:14.theatre, it comes after a damning internal review, said that theatre
:01:15. > :01:18.staff were overworked and taking safety short cuts to speed up
:01:19. > :01:22.procedures, staff said they felt helpless. Tonight sources at the
:01:23. > :01:27.hospital admitted staff had been put under undue pressure but patients
:01:28. > :01:31.had never been harmed. Our reporter is at the hospital for us now. Jane,
:01:32. > :01:37.this is a world`renowned hospital, but we keep hearing of problems in
:01:38. > :01:41.the operating theatres, what is going on? We do. Can I just take you
:01:42. > :01:45.through the time line of the problems they have had, which I
:01:46. > :01:51.should say as you have, are isolated to the operating theatres here. This
:01:52. > :01:55.begins back in 2009s when a whistleblower reported about safety
:01:56. > :02:01.concerns, in the hospital. That was followed up in 2011, by a report
:02:02. > :02:05.back from the Royal College of Surgeons. It said Alder Hey Hospital
:02:06. > :02:09.does not supply world class care. Following those concerns raised by
:02:10. > :02:14.the whistleblower. After that, there was an internal staff review, which
:02:15. > :02:23.nobody really heard about until 2013, that was when the Information
:02:24. > :02:27.Commissioner acting upon a freedom Freedom of Information Act request
:02:28. > :02:31.said they had to publish the damning details of that staff report. That
:02:32. > :02:34.contained things like staff in theatre fainting because they were
:02:35. > :02:39.so overworked. That led to, that internal review
:02:40. > :02:42.led to a report coming out, saying changes that needed to be
:02:43. > :02:49.implemented, and in December this year, there was a status update, on
:02:50. > :02:54.that report, given to the board. That report, which we have only now
:02:55. > :02:58.just seen is pretty damning. Staff really are still not very happy at
:02:59. > :03:03.all in the operating theatre, not very happy at all. So give us more
:03:04. > :03:09.details of that report then, if you can. I can, yes. Some of details
:03:10. > :03:13.contained in the report, which were put on line Friday afternine so we
:03:14. > :03:18.didn't have up in time, nobody saw it until today and they have not put
:03:19. > :03:23.anybody up for interview to discuss this, they talk about safety
:03:24. > :03:28.concerned, leading to short cuts being taken, limited reporting of
:03:29. > :03:32.those incident, near misses not being flagged up last year they said
:03:33. > :03:37.no patients had been put in danger. Let us hear from one of the Clinical
:03:38. > :03:42.Director fors at the time. We have no evidence in there, and I
:03:43. > :03:45.am not tried to hide, but I don't think that we have seen anything
:03:46. > :03:49.that said patients have suffered as a result of that, the children that
:03:50. > :03:53.we treat are the most important thing, I would be concerned if
:03:54. > :03:55.patients lost confidence in what was happening at Alder Hey Hospital
:03:56. > :04:00.because of things that were put right.
:04:01. > :04:05.So if the message is if anybody is coming in with their children
:04:06. > :04:09.tomorrow, to theatre, it is safe. Staff though, who we haven't spoken
:04:10. > :04:13.to, have gone in November to the CQC to say they are still not happy and
:04:14. > :04:17.they want an inspection, we have yet to hear the results of that
:04:18. > :04:22.inspection but we will keep you updated.
:04:23. > :04:27.The Lake District is on course for the same global recognition as some
:04:28. > :04:30.of the world's most iconic sites like the Taj Mahal and the Great
:04:31. > :04:35.Wall of China. The Government said it was inviting the National Park to
:04:36. > :04:39.repair a case for the World Heritage badge, but what does that mean? Our
:04:40. > :04:44.environment correspondent reports from Bowness.
:04:45. > :04:49.Whatever time of year you visit, the Lake District is nothing short of
:04:50. > :04:53.breathtaking, from words worth to Beatrix Potter it has inspired
:04:54. > :04:57.generation, today the Culture Minister described it as one of the
:04:58. > :05:02.heritage jewel, and deserved to be recognised as a World Heritage Site.
:05:03. > :05:06.But what does that mean? It is really important, it gives us the
:05:07. > :05:12.international recognition that we all think we deserve, because of the
:05:13. > :05:15.cultural heritage, importance of the lake, but also it is a real economic
:05:16. > :05:20.driver. And this is what it is all about.
:05:21. > :05:23.Spectacular scenery, it already attracts millions of visitors every
:05:24. > :05:29.year, but they are mainly from the UK. Gaining World Heritage status
:05:30. > :05:33.will put the Lake District on the global tourist map. The status is
:05:34. > :05:36.given to places seen as internationally important, in human
:05:37. > :05:40.history or culture, the Lake District would join other World
:05:41. > :05:45.Heritage Sites such as the pyramid, the Taj Mahal, and closer to home,
:05:46. > :05:50.Liverpool's waterfront, which gained the status in 2004.
:05:51. > :05:53.Gaining world he Tang status would be good for business but there are
:05:54. > :05:57.concerned that it would bring more restrictions. `` heritage We are
:05:58. > :06:02.hugely restricted for planning in the Lake District, but the Lake
:06:03. > :06:06.District National Park Authority believes that the world heritage
:06:07. > :06:12.site will not add to that burred `` burden. We can live with it. The
:06:13. > :06:17.area has a combination of amazing natural beauty shaped by cultural
:06:18. > :06:20.man`made features. It inspired the conservation movement and the
:06:21. > :06:24.National Trust movement. It is that combination, situated on the west of
:06:25. > :06:30.the country, with amazing light and weather we get, which makes the Lake
:06:31. > :06:35.District so inspiring, so beautiful, it attracts the 15 million visitors
:06:36. > :06:38.get. The National Park has to prepare its nomination. UNESCO will
:06:39. > :06:47.make its decision in four years time.
:06:48. > :06:50.It is stunning. What might it mean then for the Lakes? Richard
:06:51. > :06:56.Greenwood is from Cumbria Tourism. Why is this good news? Well, it is
:06:57. > :07:00.great news, it raises the Lake District's profile on the
:07:01. > :07:04.international stage. If the nomination is successful, the Lake
:07:05. > :07:08.District becomes part of an elite club that will be particularly at
:07:09. > :07:13.racktive to overseas visitor, we know the Chinese, the Russian, look
:07:14. > :07:19.out for World Heritage Site status when they are choosing holidays and
:07:20. > :07:23.they are high spenders. We expect to see greater numbers of them coming.
:07:24. > :07:28.That is a problem because anyone who has been there as many of us have,
:07:29. > :07:33.know at times it feels very overcrowded. That is a pretty
:07:34. > :07:40.exceptional situation these days. It is bank holidays which get very
:07:41. > :07:44.busy, the hotel, and the guest houses have considerable spare
:07:45. > :07:48.capacity for much of year, of coursing these visitor also tend to
:07:49. > :07:53.come out of our typical domestic UK seasons. Have you won over the
:07:54. > :07:57.businesses? They were concerned for a time, there were worries about
:07:58. > :08:01.extra restrictions for planning, for resident, but are you assured that
:08:02. > :08:08.won't be the case? Well, we are part of a wide partnership that has been
:08:09. > :08:12.having discussions about the merits of World Heritage Site status and we
:08:13. > :08:15.have been convinced, think and we have engaged with the tourism
:08:16. > :08:20.industry to find out just exactly how they feel about it. They are
:08:21. > :08:24.confident it will bring benefits that planning restrictions won't
:08:25. > :08:28.increase, because National Park status brings with it, already just
:08:29. > :08:31.about the highest level of restriction that with we have in the
:08:32. > :08:36.UK, we want to work with all our partners in preparing a management
:08:37. > :08:40.plan which makes the most of the status, and brings some real
:08:41. > :08:43.economic benefits. We will follow it with great
:08:44. > :08:47.interest. We are grateful for your time.
:08:48. > :08:52.A former Mr Side police officer has appeared in court accused of
:08:53. > :08:57.misconduct in public office in connection with an alleged
:08:58. > :09:01.confrontation with the footballer Steve Gerrard, Helen Jones was on a
:09:02. > :09:06.career break but it alleged she claimed to be on duty to obtain CCTV
:09:07. > :09:10.footage from a shop. He will appear at Preston Crown Court.
:09:11. > :09:13.The detectives investigating the test of Clancy Durkin have charged
:09:14. > :09:18.her 19`year`old daughter with murder. The body of the 55`year`old
:09:19. > :09:22.was discovered at a house on Guildford Road on Tuesday. A
:09:23. > :09:26.postmortem examination found she died as a result of asphyxiation.
:09:27. > :09:31.Rebecca Durkin will appear at south Sefton Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
:09:32. > :09:36.The owners of a travel company at the centre of a crash this which
:09:37. > :09:40.three people died have been disqualified from running buses and
:09:41. > :09:43.coaches. David and Tracey Hannell runs me pride travel. One of their
:09:44. > :09:49.coaches hit a tree on the way back from a music festival, after a
:09:50. > :09:52.19`year`old tyre blew out. Now a Manchester City `` Manchester
:09:53. > :09:57.father is being hailed a hero after killing a dog which savaged a
:09:58. > :10:01.teenage boy and a woman. Neil Twigg and other neighbours tried to fight
:10:02. > :10:05.off the animal which attacked in Harphurhey yesterday. The police
:10:06. > :10:10.have revealed the animal bit someone last year, the victim's family say
:10:11. > :10:15.the pair might have died if Mr Twigg hadn't come to the rescue.
:10:16. > :10:18.What happened here in Harphurhey yesterday afternoon was a horrifying
:10:19. > :10:23.attack, but it could have been deadly where it not for the actions
:10:24. > :10:26.of this man, Neil Twigg. Hearing screaming outside the door he rushed
:10:27. > :10:30.out to help I seen the young lad getting dragged by the arm,
:10:31. > :10:35.viciously by the arm. Another couple of people were trying to hit it over
:10:36. > :10:39.the head with different stuff, but nothing was happening. It wouldn't
:10:40. > :10:43.let go. A girl tried to get involve. We tried to get it off the young lad
:10:44. > :10:48.and then it started attacking the girl as well. It was ripping at her
:10:49. > :10:52.fingers, she was screaming. The animal wouldn't release its grip.
:10:53. > :10:56.That the point people began shouting that somebody would have to kill the
:10:57. > :11:03.dog. Neil went back in to these house and came back with a carving
:11:04. > :11:08.knife. I got free and grabbed the girl again, so I stabbed it once
:11:09. > :11:14.under the rib cage. The boy was 14. He suffered serious injuries to his
:11:15. > :11:18.arm. The woman Zoe Rutledge has had emergency plastic surgery on her
:11:19. > :11:23.hand I would like to thank my neighbours for helping out what they
:11:24. > :11:28.did my sister, the person who owns the dog, something should be done.
:11:29. > :11:32.Neighbours claim the dog was previously aggressivement People was
:11:33. > :11:37.frightened of walking past, especially taking dogs out. Even was
:11:38. > :11:43.scared of it. You couldn't come out, if you seen the dog you had to run.
:11:44. > :11:47.Tougher punishments for owners of dangerous dogs have been passed by
:11:48. > :11:53.Parliament since the death of Jade Anderson. She was mauled to death by
:11:54. > :11:57.a pack of dogs at her fleedgesd. Her family are calling for dog control
:11:58. > :12:02.notice, forcing owners to control their pets. Police say they are
:12:03. > :12:07.investigating what happened here and will be talking to the dog's owner.
:12:08. > :12:10.Neil says he doesn't see himself as a hero but his neighbours beg to
:12:11. > :12:14.differ. Brave man.
:12:15. > :12:18.A 17`year`old boy has been stabbed in what is believed to have been a
:12:19. > :12:24.disagreement between school`children in Rochdale. Officers found the boy
:12:25. > :12:27.with a stab wound at Further Pitts yesterday afternoon, a 16`year`old
:12:28. > :12:33.boy suffered facial injury, five people have been arrested.
:12:34. > :12:38.5,000 hope homes could be built in Preston in the next 20 year, a draft

:12:48. > :12:54.The Isle of Man steam maquette company says its vessel has been
:12:55. > :13:01.damaged in stormy weather. The Ben`My`Chree will be taken out of
:13:02. > :13:03.action to allow it to be repaired. Lancashire's Police Commissioner
:13:04. > :13:06.Clive Grunshaw will not be prosecuted over expenses. The Crown
:13:07. > :13:12.Prosecution Service has decided that there is not enough evidence of
:13:13. > :13:16.deliberate dishonesty. Our political editor has been following the story.
:13:17. > :13:21.So is this the end of the matter? Yes, he will want to move on after
:13:22. > :13:24.this, which has hung over him for 13 months. It has taken a huge amount
:13:25. > :13:29.of time for this inquiry to conclude. Almost from the moment he
:13:30. > :13:33.started as Police Commissioner, the allegations were that he fiddled his
:13:34. > :13:38.travel expenses, and his food expenses. In terms of travel, on
:13:39. > :13:43.nine occasions his expenses suggested he was travel big car in
:13:44. > :13:47.two directions at the same time. So there was wrong there but the
:13:48. > :13:51.question was was it deliberate or not. The Independent Police
:13:52. > :13:55.Complaints Commission investigated, they said there was enough evidence
:13:56. > :14:00.to refer to the Crown Prosecution Service. Today the CPS has come back
:14:01. > :14:04.and said there is not enough evidence to suggest he made these
:14:05. > :14:07.mistakes deliberately. Not enough evidence to suggest there was fraud.
:14:08. > :14:11.He has put out this statement this afternoon, in which he says "I am
:14:12. > :14:16.delighted with this outcome, the Ed supported my version of events,
:14:17. > :14:21.which is that I never deliberately submitted any claims which I knew to
:14:22. > :14:26.be untrue." So he isn't going to be prosecuted but he has he been
:14:27. > :14:30.damaged by this? I think he has, he will argue that he has gone through
:14:31. > :14:34.this process, and ultimately there wasn't enough evidence to take him
:14:35. > :14:39.to court, never mind to find him guilty of anything. So he will now
:14:40. > :14:43.move on, but certainly some senior politician, including Labour
:14:44. > :14:49.privately believe he should have resigned over this earlier, and that
:14:50. > :14:52.a man who is responsible for overseeing Lancashire constabulary's
:14:53. > :14:58.budget should have been better at dealing with his own accounts.
:14:59. > :15:06.Now shocked and outrage. That is the reaction of an Oldham father chose
:15:07. > :15:11.son was killed in the July 7th bombings when he saw Chris Smalling
:15:12. > :15:16.dressed as a suicide bomber. The footballer has apologised for
:15:17. > :15:21.wearing the costume. Grabg Foulkes says Smalling was glamorising
:15:22. > :15:25.terrorism. A mock circuit board round his waist
:15:26. > :15:30.and bottles of alcohol strapped to his shoulder, this is Chris
:15:31. > :15:34.Smalling's attempt as at a joke, a pun on the Jagerbomb drink. Graham
:15:35. > :15:39.Foulkes doesn't see the funny side, his son David was killed by a
:15:40. > :15:44.suicide bomber in London on July 7th 2005. It is hard to describe how
:15:45. > :15:48.shocked I was, really, because he was dressed exactly the same as
:15:49. > :15:52.Sadiq Khan, the leader of the bombing in London. In which my son
:15:53. > :15:56.was killed. What possessed him to think that was a good idea at
:15:57. > :16:00.Christmas, when he was having his family round, when I can't have my
:16:01. > :16:05.family round, to have a good Christmas, and neither can 51 other
:16:06. > :16:13.families. The Manchester United's management company have issued a
:16:14. > :16:19.statement for an ill thought out costume. Is it any defence he wasn't
:16:20. > :16:25.expecting this to be public knowledge? No, I don't think there
:16:26. > :16:29.is any defence it was in the privacy of his own home. One of his friend
:16:30. > :16:35.must have been just as shock to put that in the public domain. I would
:16:36. > :16:43.ask him how would he feel if I had a party that glamourised the Munich
:16:44. > :16:47.air disaster. I think they would be outraged and
:16:48. > :16:52.that is how I am. Manchester United told us they didn't want to comment
:16:53. > :16:59.on this story. Maybe now Chris Smalling will think twice before
:17:00. > :17:04.holding his next party. He has apologised. We would be
:17:05. > :17:07.interested to hear what you think. Was it glamorising terrorism or
:17:08. > :17:13.should he have been able to the what he liked in the privacy of his own
:17:14. > :17:19.home? You can post a message on our Twitter and Facebook pages or send

:18:32. > :18:36.men says it is Sunday, have a Carlsberg. It is mad we don't have
:18:37. > :18:40.one. They are not saying how many copies they expect to sell. You will
:18:41. > :18:45.have to shop for it, it won't be delivered. The Echo sells about

:19:05. > :19:08.despite more of us getting news on this kind of thing, The Echo say
:19:09. > :19:12.they have done their homework, they are convinced there are enough
:19:13. > :19:15.people out there who enjoy the feel of paper, to make a Sunday edition
:19:16. > :19:20.worthwhile. Tonight, we carried out our own
:19:21. > :19:25.unscientific survey. It is better there is still a local paper,
:19:26. > :19:31.expand, so I may support it. I don't buy it during the week, so I
:19:32. > :19:35.wouldn't buy it on the weekend. One experts says it could be strong
:19:36. > :19:40.enough to make it week It has a news room, it has a history, it has the
:19:41. > :19:45.staff, the journalists, so there is no reason reason why it can't come
:19:46. > :19:53.out quickly on a Sunday. The Sunday Echo launches on January 19th.
:19:54. > :19:57.It is interesting, will it succeed? If you think Liverpool as a city,

:20:22. > :20:26.having on his family. My missus has had to be strong, because it is
:20:27. > :20:31.hard, and obviously, I know for a fact, if she could take it away from
:20:32. > :20:35.me she would, and she would have it herself, you know what I mean? So it
:20:36. > :20:39.is one of them, but then you think on the flip side you have to stay

:20:43. > :20:46.sometimes you are struggling you don't want to show you are
:20:47. > :20:50.struggling. Good luck to Joe. Last night I rather foolishly predicted
:20:51. > :20:54.that Manchester City might struggle to score with my namesake playing
:20:55. > :20:57.for West Ham. Just as well they didn't listen. Shows how much I
:20:58. > :21:03.know. Manuel Pellegrini has described his team's performance
:21:04. > :21:08.last night as brilliant. City hammered West Ham 6`0. The first leg
:21:09. > :21:12.of course of their Capital One Cup semifinal. Alvaro Negredo came in
:21:13. > :21:17.for special praise after scoring a hat`trick. This was nothing short of
:21:18. > :21:22.a mauling. With the man they call the beast, unleashed on a timid West
:21:23. > :21:28.Ham defence. Alvaro Negredo started as he meant to go on, scoring a
:21:29. > :21:33.volley to open the scoring. The visitors were chasing shadows
:21:34. > :21:37.and were soon chasing a two goal deficit, Alvaro Negredo again with a
:21:38. > :21:42.clinical finish and the goals kept on come, Yaya Toure got in on the
:21:43. > :21:46.act. Before the Spanish striker at the heart of everything grabbed his
:21:47. > :21:50.hat`trick to make it 4`0. There was still time for two more goals to
:21:51. > :21:55.dispel any thoughts of a West Ham come back, Dzeko scored them both.
:21:56. > :21:59.The first to complete an excellent team move. The second, a thunderous
:22:00. > :22:03.finish to put the seal on a score line that makes the second leg in
:22:04. > :22:08.London a formality. It was a brilliant performance, not
:22:09. > :22:14.only because we score six goals but the way the team played. Because of
:22:15. > :22:18.the way City are playing, some Blues fans are talking about the
:22:19. > :22:22.possibility of winning all four trophies.
:22:23. > :22:27.West Ham looked rubbish, if we could do that in the final and the rest of
:22:28. > :22:32.the season, who knows, we might get the four. I don't think so, but live
:22:33. > :22:40.in hope. I think three out of four would be nice. Do you think that is
:22:41. > :22:47.realistic? Probably. Their record has made the bookies as well as the
:22:48. > :22:52.opposition wary. Some are quoting odds as low as 100`1 for a Cityclean
:22:53. > :22:57.sweep. Great night for them. The New Year
:22:58. > :22:59.is promising new hope for one of the region's forgotten landmark,
:23:00. > :23:07.councillors are working on a funding plan to save and restore the lido
:23:08. > :23:11.open air swimming pool in grange oversands. It has been empty for
:23:12. > :23:19.year, local people have said that they want it to be reborn.
:23:20. > :23:26.In its heyday the grange lido was the place to be seen. Bob is 94 and
:23:27. > :23:32.can remember the day it opened in 1933. The day after all the public
:23:33. > :23:37.were allowed in, and of course, I couldn't swim then, of course, just
:23:38. > :23:43.splashing about, I could dive but I couldn't swim! Today the lido is a
:23:44. > :23:48.shadow of its former self. It has been abandoned and derelict for more
:23:49. > :23:53.than 20 years. It seemed as though the demolition ball might be beckons
:23:54. > :23:57.but now there are new plans. Towards the enof last year the council
:23:58. > :24:01.consulted with locals and asked what they would like to see happen to
:24:02. > :24:06.this place. 91% said they wanted to see the building said and restored.
:24:07. > :24:11.73% said they would like to see people swimming here again.
:24:12. > :24:15.Now the council is trying to find way of carrying out their wishes.
:24:16. > :24:20.The council plans to bid for heritage hotly money, but first, it
:24:21. > :24:25.has to prepare a watertight case. We need to have a look on what we can
:24:26. > :24:30.do round the pool, and we will support the running of the pool.
:24:31. > :24:35.Because obviously, rebuilding it, refurbishing it is one thing and
:24:36. > :24:39.making people come is another thing. In a way getting the funding to
:24:40. > :24:44.renovate it is probably the easiest bit. Part of the vision we have for
:24:45. > :24:48.the lido is to see swimming in the summer w the temperature of the
:24:49. > :24:55.water just lifted, not exactly heated but lifted up through the use
:24:56. > :24:58.of renewable energies, maybe solar panels or a base source heat pump
:24:59. > :25:03.and in the winter to have it as a performance seven use, as you can
:25:04. > :25:08.see it is a very large venue. The council aims to submit the bid later
:25:09. > :25:15.in the year. Bit too cold for a swim at the
:25:16. > :25:19.moment of course! How is it looking? Perfect for star`gazing. Star`gazing
:25:20. > :25:24.is perfect conditions tonight. BBC Two later on at 8.00, where ever you
:25:25. > :25:28.are in the north`west there will be plenty of clear skies so you should
:25:29. > :25:31.be able to see the stars readily. The clouds are starting to melt
:25:32. > :25:36.away, lots of clear skies in the south. Lots of clear skies in the
:25:37. > :25:41.north. Occasional showers, just floating round overnight. Maybe some
:25:42. > :25:45.frost patches, maybe some fog patches, but clear by dawn and
:25:46. > :25:48.temperatures, as you can see, very close to freezing in towns and
:25:49. > :25:52.cities, tomorrow morning from midnight, we have the yellow weather
:25:53. > :25:54.warning for ice, we have a lot of moisture on the ground at the
:25:55. > :25:59.moment. Because of the clear skies and the cold temperatures overnight,
:26:00. > :26:03.that is likely to freeze over at time, so tomorrow morning then, a
:26:04. > :26:07.cold start, some clear skies, but look at this, the clouds beginning
:26:08. > :26:10.to build. The frontal system moves from west to east, dragging light
:26:11. > :26:15.patchy rain, we will see the winds picking up in places, so a breezy
:26:16. > :26:21.afternoon, a damp afternoon, it won't be particularly warm either,
:26:22. > :26:25.highs of six or seven Celsius, the good news is as when he had into the
:26:26. > :26:29.weekend, high pressure begins to build. It is first time we have seen
:26:30. > :26:34.it for a long time. So Saturday is not looking too bad. Sunday starts
:26:35. > :26:41.off on a accident note but we coiled see `` decent note but we could see
:26:42. > :26:44.heavy rain on Sunday into Monday. Thank you. Lot s of you getting in
:26:45. > :26:49.touch about the Chris Smalling story we brought you earlier. About him
:26:50. > :26:54.dressing up as a suicide bomber. Many comment, Jackie on Twitter,
:26:55. > :27:00.tasteless and tactless, should have known better. "He can do what he
:27:01. > :27:05.wishes in his own home." And Antony tweeted he should be able to do what
:27:06. > :27:10.he wants in his own home. That is probably just swimming the e`mails
:27:11. > :27:16.and Tweets the broad consensus. You read that one out, who cares says
:27:17. > :27:20.Noddy, he wasn't intending on upsetting peep. What he does in his
:27:21. > :27:28.own home is up to him. Other people say it was disrespectful, "It shows
:27:29. > :27:36.such a lack of common decency." "Could he not have privacy in his
:27:37. > :27:41.own home? " Thank you for your comments. That is it from us. I will
:27:42. > :27:47.be back later.
