:00:00. > :00:00.us, Good evening. Welcome to North West

:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight with Stuart Flinders and Annabel Tiffin. Our top story. A

:00:10. > :00:15.mother who gave evidence against a former soldier jumps to her death

:00:16. > :00:18.after he is cleared of rape. We ask could more have been done to support

:00:19. > :00:22.Tracey Shelvey. Also tonight. We'll set up camp and disrupt your plans `

:00:23. > :00:32.the warning from protestors, as two new fracking sites are planned for

:00:33. > :00:37.Lancashire. We have now put in face plans and resources to do exactly

:00:38. > :00:43.that. Hopefully the investors will be put off investing. A decade after

:00:44. > :00:49.cocklepickers drown, we hear the stories of the rescue workers who

:00:50. > :00:52.tried in vain to save them. They've splashed the cash, but will Salford

:00:53. > :00:56.get their hands on Wigan's silverware? And famous for the

:00:57. > :01:14.iPhone and iPad but what is Apple's interest in this Isle of Man bus?

:01:15. > :01:18.Good evening. An investigation has started into why a Rochdale woman

:01:19. > :01:22.fell to her death after being told a man she'd accused of rape was

:01:23. > :01:26.cleared. Tracey Shelvey was said to have been angry and upset when a man

:01:27. > :01:30.accused of raping her and two other women was found not guilty. Mark

:01:31. > :01:34.Edwardson reports. Tracey Shelvey in happier times on

:01:35. > :01:38.holiday in Blackpool. But yesterday morning she jumped from the roof of

:01:39. > :01:44.the Wheatsheaf shopping centre in Rochdale. Floral tributes from

:01:45. > :01:48.friends and family. Workmen were securing the 41`year`old's home

:01:49. > :01:57.today. Neighbours say she was a mother of two young children. No one

:01:58. > :02:03.would like to hear that she has committed suicide, leaving the

:02:04. > :02:06.children behind. It is so sad. She was a nice person. Those same

:02:07. > :02:13.neighbours say Tracey Shelvey faced mental health issues and problems

:02:14. > :02:19.with drink and drugs. And they say she lived here in Heywood without

:02:20. > :02:26.even the basics. She would be there with no electric, no gas, no

:02:27. > :02:30.nothing, no food. She would be very couple of weeks without even

:02:31. > :02:34.changing her clothes. She would be borrowing money from me, she said

:02:35. > :02:41.when she gets paid, I said worry about it. `` don't worry about it.

:02:42. > :02:47.On Friday, a former solider accused of raping Tracey Shelvey and two

:02:48. > :02:51.other women was cleared. Over the weekend she called police a number

:02:52. > :02:54.of times, upset and angry. But she wasn't sick enough to be detained

:02:55. > :02:57.under the Mental Health Act. Her final call to police was yesterday

:02:58. > :03:00.morning. Our officers will always do their best to try and protect people

:03:01. > :03:03.but they are not trained in context mental health assessments and

:03:04. > :03:14.neither are the paramedics that are often called. These are difficult

:03:15. > :03:17.issues. Somebody distressed does not stop after the trial is over. There

:03:18. > :03:23.are still issues after that trial is over. Greater Manchester Police have

:03:24. > :03:30.referred the case to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

:03:31. > :03:33.Earlier, I spoke to Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester's Police and

:03:34. > :03:37.Crime commissioner. I asked him what more could be done for women who

:03:38. > :03:41.claim they've been raped. I need to know, society in more general needs

:03:42. > :03:47.to know, that those who come forward as victims for crimes like rape are

:03:48. > :03:52.offered support all the way through the horrible journey. What happens

:03:53. > :03:56.at the moment at the end of a trial like that? Are you simply dropped?

:03:57. > :04:02.It should not be the case that you are simply drop. It is difficult for

:04:03. > :04:07.me to comment on a particular case because as yet I do not know all the

:04:08. > :04:14.details. What I need to know, what we have got to be able to reassure

:04:15. > :04:21.victims is whether the case concludes as a guilty or not guilty

:04:22. > :04:28.verdict, they are going to get the support they need. It is absolutely

:04:29. > :04:35.traumatic going into court, even for things that relatively speaking are

:04:36. > :04:40.minor. And cases like the ones we are talking about it is potentially

:04:41. > :04:44.life changing. The police are saying today that they did try to involve

:04:45. > :04:47.other agencies that one of the problems according to the Chief

:04:48. > :04:50.Constable is they feel they are bearing the brunt of cut backs in

:04:51. > :04:54.mental health services. We know across the board that there is a

:04:55. > :04:59.real issue for the police around mental health services and not just

:05:00. > :05:05.in cases like this. We know in recent days a number of people have

:05:06. > :05:09.for example threatened to kill themselves, the lease are the first

:05:10. > :05:17.responders, quite rightly, the police, but we're trained to develop

:05:18. > :05:25.a system `` we are trying to develop a system where professionals have

:05:26. > :05:30.the skills. Isn't there a limit to what you can do in a case like this?

:05:31. > :05:32.Justice has to be done. It has to be rigorous process within the court

:05:33. > :05:43.added will be difficult for alleged to have. It is always going to be

:05:44. > :05:46.difficult for alleged victims. What we have got to do is to make sure

:05:47. > :05:53.that the whole of the journey and particularly the court process

:05:54. > :06:01.itself is only what is necessary and not simply because we have always

:06:02. > :06:03.done it that well. People are gathering on the seafront in

:06:04. > :06:07.Morecambe tonight to remember the 23 victims of the Morecambe Bay

:06:08. > :06:12.cockling disaster. This week marks the 10th anniversary of the tragedy

:06:13. > :06:26.when Chinese cocklepickers were drowned after being cut off by the

:06:27. > :06:33.tide. Peter Marshall can join us now live from the seafront. Yes, I can

:06:34. > :06:38.speak to the organisers now. Why were you so determined to organise

:06:39. > :06:42.this event. We have been working for the last eight years with the local

:06:43. > :06:48.Chinese community loading positive relations following the tragedy It

:06:49. > :06:53.felt fitting today to do something that honoured the memories of those

:06:54. > :06:58.people and also a celebration of their lives in some way. What is the

:06:59. > :07:03.tone of the event? It is about reflection, looking at the fire

:07:04. > :07:08.look at the lanterns, thinking, listening to the music, listening to

:07:09. > :07:18.the songs and thinking why did this happen, how can we stop it happening

:07:19. > :07:24.again. Ten years on, just how much pain does this tragedy still cause

:07:25. > :07:36.the community? Ten years on, it is still quite fresh in people 's

:07:37. > :07:42.minds. We feel sympathy and pain. It must be awful having to pay the

:07:43. > :07:47.debts of this. Disease see some people here tonight, what do you

:07:48. > :07:57.think of that? `` to see so many people here tonight? This thing must

:07:58. > :08:04.never happen again. And briefly has it strengthened community links

:08:05. > :08:10.Definitely. Since the event, we have achieved so much, music and Chinese

:08:11. > :08:14.language and also a focal point for people to come and seek information

:08:15. > :08:20.so that they can learn about the Chinese culture and heritage. Thank

:08:21. > :08:25.you very much indeed for joining us. Now onto the second of our special

:08:26. > :08:28.reports into the tragedy. Tonight we hear from the rescue workers who

:08:29. > :08:31.tried in vain to save lives. Recent storms have churned the sands,

:08:32. > :08:35.uncovering fresh reminders of the dangers out here. Local fishermen

:08:36. > :08:45.believe these newly uncovered cockle bags may well have belonged to those

:08:46. > :08:50.who died here. It is strange and very eerie, yes. They are just

:08:51. > :08:54.appearing in the sand after all this time. But no one involved in that

:08:55. > :08:58.awful unfolding tragedy needs any fresh reminder. Morecambe's RNLI

:08:59. > :09:05.volunteers would have the grim task of uncovering the true scale of the

:09:06. > :09:10.tragedy. The whole job lasted 2 hours. In the early hours of the

:09:11. > :09:13.morning the hovercraft was searching around looking and suddenly came

:09:14. > :09:21.across what we can only say was a sea of bodies. Gary Parsons spent

:09:22. > :09:31.hours scouring the waters that night, searching for survivors. I

:09:32. > :09:35.look back at it as something I don't ever want to experience again. I do

:09:36. > :09:38.not think anything else could have been done to prevent those people

:09:39. > :09:42.from dying. They should not have been out there in the first place.

:09:43. > :09:46.This is the man who put them in that position. Lin Liang Ren, the gang

:09:47. > :09:51.master. He might have escaped into the night, but for a chance

:09:52. > :09:54.encounter. I was just coming here up the A6 and there was a guy walking

:09:55. > :09:58.down the A6 towards Lancaster. A Chinese man. Realising he must be

:09:59. > :10:01.something to do with whatever was going on and at that stage, we

:10:02. > :10:06.didn't know, just stopped my car, and it was my own car it wasn't a

:10:07. > :10:09.marked police car. I stopped my car and just asked him to get in. It

:10:10. > :10:14.subsequently turned out that he was Lin Liang Ren. Had he not stopped

:10:15. > :10:18.and had he not got in the car we could have spent an awful long time

:10:19. > :10:21.looking for him in this country or back in China. What followed was the

:10:22. > :10:23.most complex investigation ever undertaken by Lancashire Police It

:10:24. > :10:28.spread across the globe. It involved Triads and human traffickers. In

:10:29. > :10:35.March 2006 Lin Liang Ren was found guilty of 21 charges of manslaughter

:10:36. > :10:39.and sentenced to 14 years. He was an evil man. He tried to mix in with

:10:40. > :10:44.the workers, the survivors and pass himself off as just a worker on the

:10:45. > :10:48.night. But what he actually did was he threaten people. Ten years on,

:10:49. > :10:51.Lin Liang Ren is no long in a British prison. In September 20 2,

:10:52. > :11:01.he was deemed to have served his time. He's since been returned to

:11:02. > :11:06.China. Coverage of the events continue

:11:07. > :11:08.tomorrow morning. And Radio Lancashire is marking the

:11:09. > :11:15.anniversary tomorrow morning with a special breakfast show live from

:11:16. > :11:19.Morecombe Bay from 6am. A maths teacher from the Isle of Man was

:11:20. > :11:22.today sentenced to 15 years in jail for the rape and indecent assault of

:11:23. > :11:25.five teenage girls. 58`year`old Davoud Taghinejad also taught at

:11:26. > :11:32.North Trafford College in Greater Manchester for ten years before

:11:33. > :11:35.moving to the Isle of Man in 20 9. A couple who kept a ten`year`old

:11:36. > :11:38.girl from Pakistan as a domestic slave in a cellar have had their

:11:39. > :11:43.prison sentences increased by the court of appeal today. Ilyas Ashar

:11:44. > :11:47.of Salford, who was also found guilty of rape, had his sentence

:11:48. > :11:51.increased from 13 years to 15 years. His wife Tallat's sentence was

:11:52. > :11:59.increased from five to six years in prison. The Solicitor General

:12:00. > :12:03.welcomed the news. The offender is 84 years old. There

:12:04. > :12:08.is a limit to how long the sentence could be, but the judge in the

:12:09. > :12:12.original case said 20 years was the right sentence but he reduced it

:12:13. > :12:15.because of age to 13. I felt that was too much of a reduction and it

:12:16. > :12:20.needed to be higher than that for deterrence. Repair work is underway

:12:21. > :12:23.on the Isle of Man after high tides and strong winds caused damage to

:12:24. > :12:25.walls in Douglas, Castletown, Laxey and Ramsey. The department of

:12:26. > :12:37.Infrastructure and local councils are trying to protect the areas from

:12:38. > :12:40.any further damage. Anti`fracking protestors say they'll try to

:12:41. > :12:43.disrupt two new sites in Lancashire where the energy company Cuadrilla

:12:44. > :12:47.plans to carry out test drilling for shale gas. We'll be hearing from one

:12:48. > :12:50.of the campaigners in a minute, but first let's go to one of the

:12:51. > :12:53.villages close to where the exploratory drilling will take

:12:54. > :13:02.place. Our Environment Correspondent Judy Hobson joins us now.

:13:03. > :13:07.Yes, Cuadrilla announced these to `` these two new sites this morning.

:13:08. > :13:12.About 150 local villagers have been coming here to the village hall

:13:13. > :13:14.today. Some have said they are undecided and they have come for

:13:15. > :13:19.information. Others have been visibly upset. They say they are

:13:20. > :13:24.worried the process is not safe and they are worried about water

:13:25. > :13:27.contamination. There is also a sense of panic. Cuadrilla say they want to

:13:28. > :13:32.drill and start fracking this time next year. They say this drop`in

:13:33. > :13:37.session is just one of many they will have. Earlier today, I went to

:13:38. > :13:44.a nearby village to find out what people therefore. People living in

:13:45. > :13:46.this village today found out that the controversial process of

:13:47. > :13:51.fracking could soon be happening on their doorstep and the reaction was

:13:52. > :13:56.mixed. I am not too fast. It does not affect me in any way. People are

:13:57. > :14:04.concerned really about this site with regard to traffic, traffic to

:14:05. > :14:10.the site, we live in such a lovely rural area. From what I hear, it is

:14:11. > :14:15.not going to make a great deal of difference. Whether it'll make any

:14:16. > :14:23.to property price or not, I do not know. Some people did not want to

:14:24. > :14:27.speak on camera. This is the site a mile away where Cuadrilla want to

:14:28. > :14:35.build a concrete pad and drill for exploration wells. It is one of two

:14:36. > :14:37.new sites the company say they hope to look for shale gas. They still

:14:38. > :14:43.need planning permission from the council. There is an impact

:14:44. > :14:49.assessment as part of the planning application. If we get a positive

:14:50. > :14:56.decision, drilling will not start until the end of this year. This

:14:57. > :15:02.village will also be affected by today's news. The second new

:15:03. > :15:05.drilling site is half a mile away. They are no strangers to the idea

:15:06. > :15:13.though. Today, some villagers said they did not want test running so

:15:14. > :15:18.close to their homes. `` test drilling. Any pass, there have angry

:15:19. > :15:30.scenes at this camp in Barton Moss `` in the past. There has been

:15:31. > :15:35.fracking in Elswick for 20 years, seemingly with no problems at all.

:15:36. > :15:40.Campaigners say this is a different sort of fracking. This is for shale

:15:41. > :15:48.gas which will be much deeper and also it will go horizontal as well.

:15:49. > :15:52.Cuadrilla says it is safe. Earlier I spoke to Tina Rothery, who's part of

:15:53. > :15:55.the Barton Moss demonstration. I asked her what the demonstrators had

:15:56. > :16:03.in mind for the new sites in Lancashire. We have tried appealing

:16:04. > :16:06.to the government, we have tried lobbying MPs, signing petitions

:16:07. > :16:10.objecting to planning, we have done all the right and sensible things

:16:11. > :16:14.that democracy offers us as a choice to do and we have not succeeded in

:16:15. > :16:18.stopping this. We feel it should stop because it is a threat to

:16:19. > :16:23.agriculture. In watching what happened recently, we have put in

:16:24. > :16:26.place plans and resources to set up exactly that, so the traffic so that

:16:27. > :16:32.the investors will hopefully be put off investing in shale gas

:16:33. > :16:35.extracting in the United Kingdom. You talk about democracy. Some of

:16:36. > :16:39.the people living in the areas where the fracking might take place will

:16:40. > :16:46.actually like the idea of bringing money to the area, jobs. Why you go

:16:47. > :16:50.steaming in there? I understand that some people have not been informed

:16:51. > :16:55.of the truth and that is all the matter is. They simply do not know

:16:56. > :16:58.the facts because I can guarantee with absolute certainty that if they

:16:59. > :17:01.understood the facts of shale gas extraction and the risks it poses to

:17:02. > :17:07.the vital resources of air and water, they would not be in favour

:17:08. > :17:11.of it. They might understand it but just disagree with you. How can you

:17:12. > :17:16.disagree with the evidence coming out of Canada, America, Australia?

:17:17. > :17:19.It is clear`cut. People are suffering the effects of this and

:17:20. > :17:25.they have been across to speak with us. There are numerous reports

:17:26. > :17:30.showing this. Some people will agree with you and some won't. The cost of

:17:31. > :17:33.making the point in the way that you do is horrendously expensive. We

:17:34. > :17:37.have seen the protest in Salford, the cost is over one third of a

:17:38. > :17:44.million. The council taxpayers of Lancashire have two look forward to

:17:45. > :17:47.more protesting from you? We cannot understand why they are allowed to

:17:48. > :17:52.use our police force. We have run out of options. They are now using

:17:53. > :18:04.our police force as a private army, essentially. Why are they standing

:18:05. > :18:12.there? This is wrong. They need to pause long enough to show the

:18:13. > :18:18.evidence. Thank you very much. Still to come on North West Tonight. We

:18:19. > :18:21.are with Super League 's big spenders, the Salford Red Revils, to

:18:22. > :18:27.hear about their big ambitions ahead of the new season. And we find out

:18:28. > :18:44.why Alex and his Isle of Man bus is so important to computer giant

:18:45. > :18:48.Apple. Manchester City's title hopes suffered a blow last night, Chelsea

:18:49. > :18:51.achieving a rare feat. Yes, the Londoners added their name to that

:18:52. > :18:55.of Bayern Munich as the only two teams to win at the Etihad Stadium

:18:56. > :18:59.this season. City had won all 1 league games before this but the 1`0

:19:00. > :19:03.defeat meant it was the first time in more than three years City had

:19:04. > :19:06.failed to score at home. The only goal of the game came in the first

:19:07. > :19:09.half thanks to this Branislav Ivanovic strike and Chelsea could

:19:10. > :19:13.have had more as they hit the woodwork three times reducing City

:19:14. > :19:16.to long range efforts from the likes of Stefan Jovetic. The result leaves

:19:17. > :19:19.City second in the table level on points with Chelsea and two behind

:19:20. > :19:23.leaders Arsenal. Manuel Pellegrini's side have a cup final to look

:19:24. > :19:26.forward to and so could the players of Fleetwood Town if they beat

:19:27. > :19:29.Chesterfield in the Northern Area final of the Johnstone's Paint

:19:30. > :19:39.Trophy. The first leg takes place tonight at Highbury. We have to do

:19:40. > :19:44.it to the best of our ability, represent Fleetwood. The supporters

:19:45. > :19:50.are excited about this. The board, the chairman, the players, the

:19:51. > :19:58.staff, we are all excited and it is a big game. Good luck to Fleetwood.

:19:59. > :20:01.Another side looking to land a trophy this season is the newly

:20:02. > :20:04.named Salford Red Devils, formerly Salford City Reds. They finished

:20:05. > :20:08.bottom of Super League last year but owner Marwan Koukash has spent

:20:09. > :20:10.plenty of money to make sure that doesn't happen again. North West

:20:11. > :20:14.Tonight was given exclusive access to the club's pre`season programme.

:20:15. > :20:20.A new name, a new team and a new era dawning at Salford. Coach Brian

:20:21. > :20:27.Noble has to blend 14 new signings into a competitive team. This is

:20:28. > :20:34.your tactics board. Tell us what happened here? It is just a 3`D

:20:35. > :20:40.event, the players stand around the pitch and we visualise different

:20:41. > :20:44.things that we would like to do The expectation on as is high. You look

:20:45. > :20:48.around the Super League world and people are suggesting we might

:20:49. > :20:53.finish fourth, third, maybe even win it. Somebody tipped us to get to a

:20:54. > :20:56.grand final. And I hope they are right. Big name arrivals include

:20:57. > :21:03.Rangi Chase and Salford born Adrian Morley. The way my career panned

:21:04. > :21:06.out, I did not think I would get the opportunity to play for my hometown.

:21:07. > :21:14.But it has come about and I am delighted. The fun is just

:21:15. > :21:21.beginning. If we play to our potential, we can win it. They may

:21:22. > :21:25.share a colour and now a nickname with Manchester United, but the

:21:26. > :21:31.parallel is more like with Manchester City because of their

:21:32. > :21:35.big`money, big`name signings and big ambitions to shake up the

:21:36. > :21:43.established order. My message to the top boys is that you have to do is

:21:44. > :21:45.make room for us. I have been involved with the recruitment of

:21:46. > :21:51.every single player. These guys are not mercenaries. These guys are

:21:52. > :21:56.coming here to win. I am very confident they will perform. The

:21:57. > :22:01.owner expects to be in the one, now it is up to deliver. We heard from

:22:02. > :22:06.Marwan Koukash in the piece and he's been making waves at the club's

:22:07. > :22:09.press launch this afternoon. Yes, addressing fans and the media

:22:10. > :22:12.Koukash laid in to the Rugby Football League criticising the new

:22:13. > :22:15.Super League structure, the number of administrators, their salaries,

:22:16. > :22:27.the sport's new TV deal, all in the sort of language we wouldn't dare

:22:28. > :22:44.broadcast on North West Tonight A little bit colourful. He is a fairly

:22:45. > :22:48.imposing character. A man from the Isle of Man has been named amongst

:22:49. > :22:51.the 30 leading innovators of the last 30 years as part of Apple's

:22:52. > :22:54.30th anniversary celebrations. Alex Townsend was recognised for his work

:22:55. > :22:58.setting up an internet bus in the Isle of Man in 1998. Mr Townsend

:22:59. > :23:06.helped to transform a converted a passenger bus into a mobile

:23:07. > :23:10.classroom. Kelly Foran reports. Apple, famous today for its iPad and

:23:11. > :23:16.iPhone but 30 years ago, they were pioneers of the new wave of home

:23:17. > :23:24.computers. So what links the global computing giant with this old bus on

:23:25. > :23:30.the Isle of Man? In 1998, it was transferred and `` transformed into

:23:31. > :23:36.eight classroom. Its destination, the future. On the island had the

:23:37. > :23:46.world at their fingertips. The man behind it, Alex Townsend. It is

:23:47. > :23:54.pretty much a 1`person show, I do everything. Known to students as the

:23:55. > :24:00.computer busman, he has introduced hundreds of children to the

:24:01. > :24:06.Internet. Just basic things like how you log on and how you find websites

:24:07. > :24:11.and what things mean. At the time, we did not really know. In those

:24:12. > :24:14.days, Internet access and the number of computers in the schools on the

:24:15. > :24:19.Isle of Man were relatively few and far between. Apple have named him as

:24:20. > :24:23.one of the pioneers that made a profound impact in the last 30

:24:24. > :24:28.years, calling the computer as a stroke of brilliance. I have to say

:24:29. > :24:37.I was a bit surprised when I saw some of the other people on the

:24:38. > :24:42.list. We are in our creaking ancient bus. But that creaking old buses

:24:43. > :24:50.still going today. Thousands of pupils have been passengers. This is

:24:51. > :24:56.more fun than the other lessons Computers are one of my favourite

:24:57. > :25:03.things. It is better than in the old days. Mr Townsend says he will

:25:04. > :25:08.continue as long as the buses in working order.

:25:09. > :25:12.Brilliant. Perhaps if the bus stops working, Apple will step in to help

:25:13. > :25:21.out. Let's have a look at the weather

:25:22. > :25:25.forecast. The next few weeks are not looking very good. We have a

:25:26. > :25:29.conveyor belt of low pressure systems working in from the Atlantic

:25:30. > :25:34.over the next three days. This is the first one, working its way into

:25:35. > :25:36.night, into tomorrow. We will see a respite on Thursday, then another

:25:37. > :25:43.low pressure system working in on Friday night bringing lots of rain.

:25:44. > :25:47.And here goes the next low`pressure system, bringing in more rain. It

:25:48. > :25:51.will be wet and very windy over the next few days and tonight, it is all

:25:52. > :25:56.beginning after a fairly decent day, we will start off with plenty of

:25:57. > :25:59.cloud through this evening and then the front begins to move in. You

:26:00. > :26:03.have to feel for people on the Isle of Man trying to make repairs at the

:26:04. > :26:07.moment. That rain sitting over the Isle of Man for ages. Strong winds

:26:08. > :26:14.around the coast, maybe Gales, as usual. Hey lot of Schelin is by

:26:15. > :26:25.dawn. Temperatures down to four Celsius. `` a lot of showers by

:26:26. > :26:33.dawn. The winds really picking if again. I think it will be miserable

:26:34. > :26:38.tomorrow. Maybe just seven Celsius. You will not notice the temperatures

:26:39. > :26:46.at all. Tomorrow night, the showers will continue. Then we head into

:26:47. > :26:51.Thursday. We start off mostly dry. It is not going to last because on

:26:52. > :26:54.Thursday night, that rain begins to spread in and it will stay with us

:26:55. > :26:59.on Thursday night into Friday and on Saturday, we are likely to see more

:27:00. > :27:05.rain. Not a lot is going to change over the next few days. More rain

:27:06. > :27:11.and more strong winds. We continue with the risk of flooding.

:27:12. > :27:16.I am so glad I am in the studio this weekend. Now a photo which shows

:27:17. > :27:20.that the fortune of squirrels at Formby is on the up. Wildlife

:27:21. > :27:24.photographers Peter Smith and Roy Rimmer took this photo when this

:27:25. > :27:38.cheeky pair moved in for a closer look. Looks like their recovery is

:27:39. > :27:39.well underway. They are the good squirrels, the red

:27:40. > :27:45.squirrels. Good night.
