:00:00. > :00:15.Good evening. Police are warning people not to
:00:16. > :00:18.approach a convicted murderer who has been on the run for 48 hours
:00:19. > :00:22.after escaping from prison staff while on day release in Rochdale
:00:23. > :00:25.town centre. Officers say Paul Maxwell doesn't pose a significant
:00:26. > :00:30.threat to the public, but add anyone who sees him should call them. He
:00:31. > :00:33.was serving a life sentence for the murder of an 85`year`old in West
:00:34. > :00:45.Yorkshire and is known to have links to Rochdale and Tameside.
:00:46. > :00:50.I suspect that he is running out of money and our main concern is that
:00:51. > :00:54.the public. He has previously committed crimes against elderly
:00:55. > :00:59.people. If he is running out of money, he has defied it from
:01:00. > :01:06.somewhere. Unless anyone is assisting him, and they will be
:01:07. > :01:08.prosecuted. The Independent Police Complaints
:01:09. > :01:11.Commission says it's revisiting an investigation into expenses claims
:01:12. > :01:14.made by Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner. Clive Grunshaw
:01:15. > :01:17.was told in January that he would not face charges over allegations of
:01:18. > :01:21.dishonesty. But the IPCC says it is looking into the case again after it
:01:22. > :01:23.was contacted by the man who made the original accusations.
:01:24. > :01:26.Members of the North West's Ukrainian community gathered in
:01:27. > :01:30.Manchester today in memory of those killed during the recent violence in
:01:31. > :01:33.the city of Kiev. More than 60 people took part in the demo in St
:01:34. > :01:36.Anne's Square to show their opposition to the recently deposed
:01:37. > :01:43.president Victor Yanukovich. Many Ukrainians who live in
:01:44. > :01:47.Manchester have come out after the war, and they feel very
:01:48. > :01:54.passionately. It is an opportunity to commemorate an honour the victims
:01:55. > :02:01.and the heroes who have fallen. Also, any offence like this, we have
:02:02. > :02:09.to stand up and say what can we do to stop it from happening again ``
:02:10. > :02:13.event. As the Winter Olympics draw to a
:02:14. > :02:16.close in Sochi, the next generation of athletes are already training and
:02:17. > :02:19.dreaming that one day they'll be on the podium, .inspired by athletes
:02:20. > :02:22.who've trained here in the North West Yesterday, all eyes were on
:02:23. > :02:25.slalom skier Dave Ryding from Chorley. He may have finished 1 th,
:02:26. > :02:28.but he's the number one inspiration for youngsters at Pendle Ski Club,
:02:29. > :02:32.where he started out. Champions have been made on the
:02:33. > :02:34.Hills of Pendle. This is where the journey began for slalom skier David
:02:35. > :02:39.Ryding. He is a fantastic inspiration to
:02:40. > :02:43.everybody, from the young skiers up to the older people. When he was
:02:44. > :02:47.nine or ten years old, he was one of the best in the country for his age.
:02:48. > :02:50.He was always very committed. Last year, David Ryding won the
:02:51. > :02:58.Alpine Europa Cup slalom title. There were high hopes for Sochi but
:02:59. > :03:02.it wasn't to be. I knew the course and I knew I could
:03:03. > :03:04.be good, but I tripped up. That is life.
:03:05. > :03:10.But despite the disappointment, there was plenty of pride in
:03:11. > :03:14.Pendle. He is a really big inspiration,
:03:15. > :03:19.because I know that he trained here and it is like, I found it hard to
:03:20. > :03:25.believe the first time how someone on a dry slope could be where he is
:03:26. > :03:29.today at the Olympics. It is great to look up to someone and have such
:03:30. > :03:39.an inspiration, but it is not the French Alps here. I thought that it
:03:40. > :03:42.was really good how Dave Ryding nearly fell, but then he got back up
:03:43. > :03:46.and carried on. It may be the end of Winter Olympics
:03:47. > :03:52.in Sochi, but for these youngsters the dreams of Olympic glory are just
:03:53. > :03:56.beginning. As you may have just seen in the
:03:57. > :04:00.national news, Liverpool tightened their grip on a possible top four
:04:01. > :04:08.finish with a 4`3 win over Swansea at Anfield. All the goals on Match
:04:09. > :04:15.of the Day two at 10:25 on BBC One. And here is the weather.
:04:16. > :04:23.It has been a gloomy and damp day for many of us. It is thanks to this
:04:24. > :04:27.weather front that has stopped over the North and the West. It will
:04:28. > :04:34.eventually move along tomorrow. We should seize sunshine tomorrow
:04:35. > :04:40.afternoon. But it will be a damp and gloomy morning. We continue with the
:04:41. > :04:42.rain tonight. It will be heavy and persistent in northern and western
:04:43. > :04:48.parts. There is a yellow weather warning for Cumbria, as we could
:04:49. > :04:54.have two inches of rain. South and east, it may stay dry tonight, but
:04:55. > :04:59.it is cloudy and windy. It is quite mild as well. Lows of six or seven
:05:00. > :05:02.Celsius. The rain will eventually clear out of the way as we head onto
:05:03. > :05:10.the afternoon. This guy should brighten and the wind should ease,
:05:11. > :05:13.so it will be a drier and brighter afternoon. Temperatures up to 1
:05:14. > :05:23.Celsius. I will be back just after 10:15pm.
:05:24. > :06:06.In the meantime, enjoy your evening. Goodbye.
:06:07. > :06:12.Hello. Still no sign of the weather really settling down next week.
:06:13. > :06:16.There should be an improvement for most of us tomorrow. It will not be
:06:17. > :06:20.as windy as it has been today, and the band of rain will slowly peter
:06:21. > :06:24.out. We still have some rain to come through the night. This band of rain
:06:25. > :06:26.is quite slow moving, it will wander northwards into Dumfries and
:06:27. > :06:30.Galloway. Close to Northern Ireland, heavy rain in Cumbria and later in
:06:31. > :06:33.the night it will turn whether in Wales and the south-west. Southerly
:06:34. > :06:38.wind, quite strong at the moment, that will ease as the night goes on
:06:39. > :06:40.but it should be pretty mild, six or seven degrees, typically. Tomorrow,
