:00:00. > :00:00.Sunday. Make the most of Saturday because Sunday looks pretty filthy.
:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and
:00:12. > :00:15.Roger Johnson. Our top story: The jury in the William Roache trial
:00:16. > :00:17.hears of the soap star's disbelief after he was arrested on suspicion
:00:18. > :00:22.of rape. "It's against my nature", he told
:00:23. > :00:24.the police. Also in tonight's programme: Actor Ricky Tomlinson's
:00:25. > :00:36.40`year fight to prove he was wrongly jailed in the 1970s moves to
:00:37. > :00:39.Parliament. A Wembley final against Manchester
:00:40. > :00:41.City is the price for Ayr United tonight. Anything less, and the
:00:42. > :00:44.pressure really will be on. And, meet the 81`year`old double
:00:45. > :00:58.European champion who's hoping to pedal his way to further glory.
:00:59. > :01:02.The jury at the William Roache trial has been hearing how he reacted when
:01:03. > :01:07.first arrested on suspicion of rape. The actor told a police officer "I
:01:08. > :01:10.am absolutely surprised and amazed. " The Coronation Street star denies
:01:11. > :01:13.allegations of rape and indecent assault dating back to the 1960s.
:01:14. > :01:25.Dave Guest has been following developments at Preston Crown Court
:01:26. > :01:29.and joins us now. From the start, William Roache has
:01:30. > :01:33.maintained he has done nothing wrong, and that was the message he
:01:34. > :01:37.gave to detect this during a series of police interviews. Time after
:01:38. > :01:42.time he said he did not know the people he who were accusing him of
:01:43. > :01:46.indecent assault, and he said the incident of which they spokesman
:01:47. > :01:52.Simkin never happened. The Coronation Street star arrived
:01:53. > :01:57.today, as he has done on everyday, surrounded by his family.
:01:58. > :02:01.He denies all the charges made by a total of five women, who all said it
:02:02. > :02:06.happened whilst they were under 16. Today, the court heard that when the
:02:07. > :02:11.police arrived at his home last May, the actor said he was absolutely
:02:12. > :02:16.surprised and amazed to be told he was being arrested on suspicion of
:02:17. > :02:21.rape. The accusation dates back to the 1960s. A woman, who is now in
:02:22. > :02:27.her 60s, said he raped her on two separate occasions at two properties
:02:28. > :02:29.he used to own in Lancashire. Interviewed at the police station,
:02:30. > :02:39.William Roache said he had no knowledge of the woman and had never
:02:40. > :02:49.raped her. Asked why someone should make up such an accusation, he said:
:02:50. > :02:55.The court heard that when he was arrested at a later date on further
:02:56. > :03:00.charges of indecent assault against four other women, the staff denied
:03:01. > :03:09.any wrongdoing. At one point during the interview, he said: He said
:03:10. > :03:18.youngsters held no attraction for him. This afternoon, the QC for Mr
:03:19. > :03:21.Roach was questioning a detective involved in the investigation. He
:03:22. > :03:25.wanted to know why the detective had interviewed one of the claimant in
:03:26. > :03:31.the presence of her husband, who was himself to become a witness in the
:03:32. > :03:35.case. She also queried why the 0th live had taken the alleged rape fit
:03:36. > :03:40.Tim to the scene of the alleged crime, but had not actually recorded
:03:41. > :03:45.that officially. She will continue her cross`examination of that
:03:46. > :03:48.detective in the morning. Ricky Tomlinson has been on our
:03:49. > :03:51.screens for decades ` Brookside the Royle Family ` he's one of the
:03:52. > :03:55.region's best known actors. But in 1973, he was a trade unionist and he
:03:56. > :04:00.was in jail for conspiracy, along with several colleagues, following a
:04:01. > :04:06.building industry strike. The so`called "Shrewsbury 24" have
:04:07. > :04:08.always protested their innocence. Tomorrow, ministers will be asked in
:04:09. > :04:14.the Commons to release documents which could prove the men were
:04:15. > :04:17.framed. Arif Ansari reports. 40 years after being jailed, Ricky
:04:18. > :04:27.Tomlinson is still trying to clear his name and extract secret
:04:28. > :04:31.documents locked away in Whitehall. It has certainly surprised me, and a
:04:32. > :04:36.lot of other people, particularly the pickets. This case goes to the
:04:37. > :04:39.heart of government. It goes to the heart of the Cabinet. Summer 19 2,
:04:40. > :04:49.and building labourers go on strike over pay and safety conditions.
:04:50. > :04:53.Conditions were appalling, absolutely appalling. I think we had
:04:54. > :04:58.every right to go out for better health and safety, and better
:04:59. > :05:03.conditions to work in. Documents uncovered by campaigners suggest the
:05:04. > :05:07.Home Secretary wanted prosecutions. He ordered a review of what happened
:05:08. > :05:10.during the 12 week strike. At the end of August 1972, the Area Strike
:05:11. > :05:14.Committee, which included Ricky Tomlinson, met at this pub in
:05:15. > :05:19.Chester as picketing spread. What was actually discussed? According to
:05:20. > :05:21.the authorities, they were plotting violence, and were subsequently
:05:22. > :05:32.charged with Conspiracy to Intimidate. But those who were here
:05:33. > :05:37.remember it very differently. I have never been a member of the Communist
:05:38. > :05:45.Party. You weren't trying to undermine the British state? I
:05:46. > :05:51.consider myself a patriot. Of the 24, 20 to convicted. Ricky Tomlinson
:05:52. > :05:59.got two years. We have got to have our names cleared. Have got have
:06:00. > :06:03.everything squashed. But, why the big campaign for documents
:06:04. > :06:09.continues, ministers have already decided to keep them secret for
:06:10. > :06:12.another decade. A Sri Lankan politician, charged
:06:13. > :06:15.with murdering a Red Cross worker from Rochdale, has been arrested by
:06:16. > :06:17.Sri Lankan police, two weeks after jumping bail. Sampath
:06:18. > :06:20.Vidana`Pathirana, has now been remanded in custody until the end of
:06:21. > :06:25.his trial which starts in two months. He and five other men are
:06:26. > :06:26.charged with murdering Khuram Shaikh.
:06:27. > :06:30.Police on Merseyside are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot
:06:31. > :06:33.in the face when he opened his front door to someone last night.
:06:34. > :06:36.The attack happened in the Bootle area. The victim's injuries are
:06:37. > :06:39.serious, but not thought to be life threatening. Police say it was
:06:40. > :06:43.targeted. Five boys have answered their bail
:06:44. > :06:46.in connection with a huge fire which devastated a school in Lancashire
:06:47. > :06:49.last year. The youths, who are all under the age of 15, were arrested
:06:50. > :06:53.on suspicion of arson after the blaze at St Mary's Roman Catholic
:06:54. > :06:56.Technology College in September Students returned to the site in
:06:57. > :07:04.December. Unemployment in the North West has
:07:05. > :07:07.dropped by nearly 8%. Figures show that, between September and
:07:08. > :07:11.November, ?270,000 people in the region were unemployed. That's
:07:12. > :07:22.24,000 fewer than in the previous three`month period.
:07:23. > :07:26.Three of the region's councils are facing tough choices after
:07:27. > :07:30.announcing they need to make tens of millions of pounds in savings.
:07:31. > :07:34.Preston, Cumbria and Wigan councils have all announced decisions for the
:07:35. > :07:38.budget for the ahead. In some areas it means cuts, but in other areas,
:07:39. > :07:41.they are looking for a more imaginative way around the problem.
:07:42. > :07:44.Our local councils have some difficult decisions to make as they
:07:45. > :07:48.set their budgets for the year ahead. In Preston, the authority
:07:49. > :07:51.says every service will have to be cut, as it tries to save an extra
:07:52. > :07:55.?3.6 million. That includes the iconic Guild Hall, which may close
:07:56. > :07:58.if a private company can't be found to run it. Cumbria County Council
:07:59. > :08:01.says it's received around 2000 responses to a public consultation
:08:02. > :08:06.on how to tackle what it calls its "toughest ever financial challenge."
:08:07. > :08:10.?24 million needs to be saved. The authority says that equates to 1 in
:08:11. > :08:15.every ?4, which used to be spent on local services.
:08:16. > :08:20.In Wigan, another ?15 million will be cut from the budget. So the
:08:21. > :08:23.council's proposing a new contract with residents called the Wigan
:08:24. > :08:26.Deal. Instead of cutting back services, it's been stepping in to
:08:27. > :08:31.help communities run them instead, as I've been finding out.
:08:32. > :08:35.It costs ?200,000 a year to keep this pool in Tyldesley open, but
:08:36. > :08:39.none of that's coming from Wigan Council any more. For the last two
:08:40. > :08:44.years, it's provided the building, and the rest has been up to the
:08:45. > :08:52.community. Few of the staff are paid ` most, like Grace, are volunteers
:08:53. > :08:58.doing it for free. Although I'm not getting paid, I'm getting experience
:08:59. > :09:02.through it, which will look good on my CV. I learned to swim here. My
:09:03. > :09:08.family did as well, so it is my community. When you think you are
:09:09. > :09:11.going to lose it, it makes you realise we need people like me to do
:09:12. > :09:15.things. It's a model the council thinks could save some services that
:09:16. > :09:19.would otherwise disappear with cuts. So, it's offering residents the
:09:20. > :09:22.Wigan Deal ` a freeze in Council Tax if they get involved in running more
:09:23. > :09:26.facilities. Just like Beech Hill Library. The charity Book Cycle took
:09:27. > :09:34.over when the council moved out two years ago. We are completely run by
:09:35. > :09:38.volunteers and rely on donations, everything from furniture to the
:09:39. > :09:40.books and the computers they have all been donated by the community.
:09:41. > :09:43.Flowers by the roadside might brighten your day, but few
:09:44. > :09:51.authorities can afford to make them a priority. Projects like this in
:09:52. > :09:56.Courage committee is to take ownership of their local areas, and
:09:57. > :10:00.try to make a difference. It is hard for us because we were constantly
:10:01. > :10:05.active. But it is something we like to do. It will just turn up. I can't
:10:06. > :10:13.see any reason why they can't do this anywhere else. Not everyone
:10:14. > :10:17.will want to lend a hand, but Wigan Council hopes that civic pride will
:10:18. > :10:19.spur on many to do their bit. Earlier I spoke to the authority's
:10:20. > :10:23.deputy leader, Councillor David Molyneux, and asked him if the
:10:24. > :10:28.scheme would really save that much money.
:10:29. > :10:32.When you start to look at the level of cuts that local government are
:10:33. > :10:36.facing, we have got to be realistic about what we can deliver. What we
:10:37. > :10:39.do know is that we can build on projects already going, and you have
:10:40. > :10:44.just given a good example with the swimming pool. I think that is the
:10:45. > :10:49.way the going to have to look all of our services. You are using
:10:50. > :10:52.volunteers, and that is relying on the good nature of the people of
:10:53. > :10:56.Wigan. That can only last so long, can't it?
:10:57. > :11:01.Well, I don't think any council campaign you how long the government
:11:02. > :11:06.cuts are going to hit us. In Wigan, we have got a very good volunteer
:11:07. > :11:11.sector who have stepped into the breach on a number of projects that
:11:12. > :11:14.are going across the authority. They have proved very worthwhile. It is
:11:15. > :11:19.about delivering services that people expect us to deliver. We have
:11:20. > :11:24.got to help them deliver it themselves. I feel that with the
:11:25. > :11:27.Wigan Deal we can do that. We have got some fine examples already, and
:11:28. > :11:31.we can build on them, looking closely with volunteer groups to
:11:32. > :11:36.deliver the services that people expect. Once you have gone into
:11:37. > :11:42.libraries and swimming pools, how much further can you go? Are you
:11:43. > :11:46.talking about volunteers going into social services and so on? We have
:11:47. > :11:52.already got a project running in part of the borough where people are
:11:53. > :11:55.doing just that. Some people need the support of a friend or
:11:56. > :12:02.neighbour, where previously they have been relying on home helps and
:12:03. > :12:09.this is now proving a very worthwhile organisation that is in
:12:10. > :12:17.the community, giving the support it requires. I am sure we can spread
:12:18. > :12:21.this across the borough. Still to come on North West Tonight:
:12:22. > :12:28.Find out what 14th century Liverpool looked like, when the city's
:12:29. > :12:31.official seal was created. And, we go out for a jog with the
:12:32. > :12:41.81`year`old who's outrunning all the competition.
:12:42. > :12:46.Student fees are still a sore subject for many. But, how about
:12:47. > :12:50.paying for them with a virtual currency? The University of Cumbria
:12:51. > :12:53.has become the first public university in the world to accept
:12:54. > :12:58.Bitcoins. The digital money will be accepted for two finance`based
:12:59. > :13:07.courses only. Alison Freeman explains how it works.
:13:08. > :13:11.You can't hold it in your hand, and it is not considered legal tender,
:13:12. > :13:16.but the virtual currency bitcoin can be used to pay for a wide range of
:13:17. > :13:20.things, and that now includes education. As of next year, the
:13:21. > :13:23.University of Cumbria will accept the online payments for two
:13:24. > :13:27.financial courses where the role of new kinds of money are being
:13:28. > :13:34.studied. They are the first public university in the world to access
:13:35. > :13:37.this payment. Bitcoin and other cryptographic currencies have really
:13:38. > :13:42.taken off in the last 12 months so we need to include it in our
:13:43. > :13:45.analysis of comp entry currencies, which also includes local
:13:46. > :13:51.currencies, Time banks, or local pounds like in Bristol. Bitcoin is
:13:52. > :13:55.run from a central database which can be accessed by all bitcoin
:13:56. > :14:00.owners. You can either buy your Bitcoins, or you can earn them by
:14:01. > :14:04.processing data for that database. The system runs itself, meaning no
:14:05. > :14:10.one can profit from sitting on transactions. Business students can
:14:11. > :14:16.see both the pitfalls and the benefits. It is probably the way
:14:17. > :14:20.forward, but for the moment, in this current economic world, it is very
:14:21. > :14:25.volatile and I think it is a bit risky and everyone is unsure. This
:14:26. > :14:28.particular type of currency is more popular with those who understand
:14:29. > :14:31.it, and I think it is quite complex. I imagine people would prefer to use
:14:32. > :14:37.the money in their pocket or in the bank. Bitcoin could challenge the
:14:38. > :14:41.financial world in the same way file sharing challenged the music
:14:42. > :14:47.industry, but it seems people need a better understanding of the system
:14:48. > :14:50.before that can happen. Maybe it will catch on.
:14:51. > :14:54.In Medieval times, Liverpool was just seven streets and not much
:14:55. > :14:58.else. But it did have an official seal. The one copy is normally kept
:14:59. > :15:02.at the British Museum in London but it's now been brought back to the
:15:03. > :15:06.city which created the original One man reckons it holds the answer to
:15:07. > :15:09.why the city's symbol is a Liver Bird and there's now a campaign to
:15:10. > :15:13.get it housed in Liverpool permanently. Here's our Merseyside
:15:14. > :15:17.Reporter Andy Gill. It's rather small, and we couldn't
:15:18. > :15:21.take it out of the glass to film it. Luckily, they made a bigger version
:15:22. > :15:24.so we can show you it clearly. It's a 19th century copy of the seal of
:15:25. > :15:38.Liverpool from 1352, on display here for the first time. In those days, a
:15:39. > :15:42.seal and a visual symbol was as important at times as the writing,
:15:43. > :15:44.so any important document would have needed that authentication from the
:15:45. > :15:47.sale attached to it. A local historian tracked down the seal to a
:15:48. > :15:51.drawer in the British Library in London. And he reckons the modern
:15:52. > :16:02.symbol of the city, the Liver Bird, started here. This seal shows pretty
:16:03. > :16:06.good evidence that the original live bird was, in fact, an eagle of St
:16:07. > :16:11.John, which was the emblem of King John, who granted the city its first
:16:12. > :16:15.Charter in 1207. These imagined pictures are as close as we can get
:16:16. > :16:19.to what Medieval Liverpool might have looked like when the long lost
:16:20. > :16:25.original seal was in use. But there would have been a Water Street then,
:16:26. > :16:33.as there is now. One of just seven streets. Almost a rural community,
:16:34. > :16:42.but next to the sea. So, fishing and ship repair down on the foreshore
:16:43. > :16:47.would have been common sites. It took two letters for the British
:16:48. > :16:52.libel to agree that this could come here on loan until the end of March.
:16:53. > :16:54.Now there is a campaign to get it on display here permanently. The
:16:55. > :16:57.British Library says it's not allowed to lend out items
:16:58. > :17:06.permanently. But it's happy for it to come back in the future.
:17:07. > :17:09.On to sport, and can United make it an all`Manchester League Cup Final
:17:10. > :17:13.tonight? City cruised through to Wembley last night, but the Reds
:17:14. > :17:22.have it all to do against Sunderland at Old Trafford later. Richard Askam
:17:23. > :17:29.is there live for us. There is a bit of transfer talk
:17:30. > :17:35.there? Yes, Manchester United have approached Chelsea with a view to a
:17:36. > :17:40.35mm and offer for one of their stars will stop he is the sort of
:17:41. > :17:45.player that United needs. They have to overturn a 2`1 deficit against
:17:46. > :17:48.Sunderland if they are to reach the final at Wembley, which would be a
:17:49. > :17:53.boost for David Moyes and perhaps ease things financially as well It
:17:54. > :17:57.has been a little volatile recently and is caused people to ask the
:17:58. > :18:03.question, is this the beginning of the end of the United Empire, or
:18:04. > :18:08.just a blip? Few predicted an easy transition from Sir Alex Ferguson to
:18:09. > :18:15.David Moyes. But on the pitch, one win in five
:18:16. > :18:18.tells its own story. Manchester United are making more money than
:18:19. > :18:24.ever. Revenue for this financial year is estimated at ?400 million.
:18:25. > :18:28.But, the slump on the pitch has led to a large drop in the share price
:18:29. > :18:36.that has wiped about ?300 million off the club's market value. In
:18:37. > :18:39.order to get back into the Champions League, they will probably have to
:18:40. > :18:43.spend big. Sir Alex Ferguson wore United's crown for so long that he
:18:44. > :18:47.was allowed to be king maker and choose his successor. He left behind
:18:48. > :18:51.a team that had won the Premier League title, but one that needs
:18:52. > :18:59.significant reinforcement. Chelsea and Spain star Juan Mata could be
:19:00. > :19:02.about to move to Old Trafford. An indication perhaps that the owners
:19:03. > :19:08.are willing to loosen the purse strings. United have not invested
:19:09. > :19:13.big in the last five years. Their net spend is less than Stoke, for
:19:14. > :19:16.example. If you look at sales less money coming in from purchases,
:19:17. > :19:19.Manchester United have not been spending the same amount of money as
:19:20. > :19:23.their competitors. However, United's worldwide fan base is enormous and
:19:24. > :19:26.numbers hundreds of millions. Supporters from all over the world
:19:27. > :19:29.regularly come to Old Trafford in large numbers. But, with the likes
:19:30. > :19:32.of Manchester City and Chelsea increasingly powerful, is the future
:19:33. > :19:42.of Asian Premier League support likely to turn from red to blue If
:19:43. > :19:45.you go to some of these overseas markets, English football is
:19:46. > :19:52.Manchester United, as far as many overseas fans are concerned. Do you
:19:53. > :19:57.see that changing? In the short term, probably not. What is clear is
:19:58. > :20:01.that one of football's most in during empires now needs to find a
:20:02. > :20:04.way to strike back. Manchester City have already booked
:20:05. > :20:08.their place at Wembley after completing a 9`0 thrashing of West
:20:09. > :20:11.Ham in their semi final last night. Already 6`0 up from the first leg,
:20:12. > :20:14.it took City just three minutes to pile on the misery for Sam
:20:15. > :20:18.Allardyce's side when Alvaro Negredo scored for the eighth time in six
:20:19. > :20:22.games. Sergio Aguero doubled their lead on the night midway through the
:20:23. > :20:25.first half while Negredo made it nine from six after the break to
:20:26. > :20:39.secure City's first League Cup Final appearance in 38 years.
:20:40. > :20:44.We are very proud. I think that the plate five games here, we won the
:20:45. > :20:46.five, we scored 19 goals, we just conceded one goal.
:20:47. > :20:50.Rochdale staged an amazing comeback to stay second in League Two,
:20:51. > :20:53.scoring twice in injury time to draw 2`2 away to promotion rivals
:20:54. > :20:56.Chesterfield. Trailing 2`0 in added time, Dale were awarded what looked
:20:57. > :21:01.like a consolation penalty for handball. Ian Henderson converted
:21:02. > :21:05.from the spot to set up a frantic finish. The visitors earned their
:21:06. > :21:16.point with just seconds remaining when Peter Vincenti headed home from
:21:17. > :21:21.a corner. As for tonight, we will see how
:21:22. > :21:26.United go. BBC Radio Manchester will have full coverage for you. You also
:21:27. > :21:32.get highlights on the League Cup show on BBC One at 11:15pm. From Old
:21:33. > :21:36.Trafford, back to you. Richard, thank you.
:21:37. > :21:40.After a life of hard work, I dare say most people in their eighties
:21:41. > :21:44.would like to relax and take it easy. But not Brian Forster from
:21:45. > :21:49.Ashton Heyes in Cheshire. Brian suffered a stroke in 2006. As part
:21:50. > :21:52.of his recovery, the lifelong runner and cyclist pushed himself harder
:21:53. > :21:56.and harder until he became a European duathlon champion ` not
:21:57. > :21:59.once but twice. Now he's got his eye set on a third title. Our Cheshire
:22:00. > :22:12.reporter, Mark Edwardson's been trying to keep up with him.
:22:13. > :22:20.Twice a European champion, eager, enthusiastic and 81. Me meet Brian
:22:21. > :22:28.Forster and his wife Alison. Preparing for another day pounding
:22:29. > :22:32.the paths around Delamere Forest. I thought no, I will go back to
:22:33. > :22:40.racing, and I am not going to give up until I have two. He is very
:22:41. > :22:47.obsessive. If he doesn't train, he is as miserable as sin. Whenever he
:22:48. > :22:48.can get out, gets out on his right and goes riding. He is pretty
:22:49. > :23:04.active. Due Avalon is to five kilometre runs
:23:05. > :23:08.with a 20 kilometre ride in between. After the army, he was a motorcycle
:23:09. > :23:15.racer, a road cyclist and a marathon runner, before his/ eight years ago.
:23:16. > :23:20.All the money the NHS wasted on me, or the people who encouraged me I
:23:21. > :23:26.was letting them down. I knew that if I didn't start again... You feel
:23:27. > :23:32.like you have had a second chance? Yes. Brian was crowned champion for
:23:33. > :23:38.his age group in 2012, and again last. I liked it so much the first
:23:39. > :23:43.time, I was determined to do it a second time. So, the European
:23:44. > :23:46.champion in 2012 and 2013. If it's probably fair to say that his
:23:47. > :23:55.confidence of a treble is high this year. I better get on with my
:23:56. > :23:57.training. I don't think you would bet against
:23:58. > :24:11.him getting that trouble. It is looking very unsettled. We
:24:12. > :24:16.have got plenty of whether coming your way over the next few days
:24:17. > :24:19.Lots of rain to talk about. When it is not raining, we will see plenty
:24:20. > :24:26.of showers. Some showers tonight which will not last. They will leave
:24:27. > :24:31.some clear skies behind. Maybe some frost and fog forming. It will be a
:24:32. > :24:34.bit breezy around the coast, and another line of rain lines up for
:24:35. > :24:41.breakfast tomorrow. Overnight, we could see some hail and thunder
:24:42. > :24:46.Temperatures possibly down to three Celsius in Cheshire, where we may
:24:47. > :24:49.also see some frost. The rain will move through quite quickly. The
:24:50. > :24:54.westerly winds pick up, but there will be some good spells of
:24:55. > :25:01.sunshine. Perhaps some snow on high ground. It will not be warm. A
:25:02. > :25:05.breezy afternoon, just five or six Celsius tomorrow. Tomorrow night, we
:25:06. > :25:11.start off with plenty of cloud around initially, but again, heading
:25:12. > :25:16.into dawn, we see the next band of rain lining up for Friday morning.
:25:17. > :25:24.It falls as snow on higher ground. More rain on Friday. On Saturday,
:25:25. > :25:30.maybe a bit of a respite. Maybe some snow flurries, and on Sunday, we are
:25:31. > :25:33.going to see some very wet and windy conditions. Enough rain for The Met
:25:34. > :25:43.Office to issue an early weather warning for rain. Lots of rain and
:25:44. > :25:46.showers coming your way. Considering we are almost towards
:25:47. > :25:54.the end of January, we haven't had much snow.
:25:55. > :25:55.We don't know mine `` we don't mind. It will come, don't worry about
:25:56. > :26:21.Good night. We all have hopes and fears
:26:22. > :26:24.for the future and for the lives our children
:26:25. > :26:27.and grandchildren will lead. I want to build a Britain
:26:28. > :26:32.where everyone feels secure, so our long-term economic plan
:26:33. > :26:35.is building a stronger, more competitive economy
:26:36. > :26:40.and securing our country's future. We're reducing the deficit
:26:41. > :26:44.so we deal with our debts,
