:00:00. > :00:16.Good evening. It's estimated that up to 1,000 people have marched through
:00:17. > :00:18.Manchester today in protest against fracking. Demonstrators opposed to
:00:19. > :00:22.the controversial gas extraction method were joined by members of the
:00:23. > :00:25.protest camp at Barton Moss who are awaiting a court decision that could
:00:26. > :00:34.see them evicted. Yunus Mulla reports. They'd hoped it wotld be
:00:35. > :00:39.one of the biggest protests yet ` according to police, the march
:00:40. > :00:45.attracted up to 1,000 peopld. It's really important for our chhldren's
:00:46. > :00:56.future. It's so harmful. Thd fall out... In terms of public hdalth...
:00:57. > :01:00.It's dangerous. I'm here because fracking is bad. The governlent
:01:01. > :01:03.believes shale gas has the potential to provide the UK with greater
:01:04. > :01:07.energy, security, growth and jobs. Ministers say that studies show the
:01:08. > :01:15.process of fracking by which the gas is extracted is safe. We nedd to be
:01:16. > :01:19.smarter. Use our energy better ` renewable and clean energy. We need
:01:20. > :01:23.to do it now. The technologx is there. We need the political will.
:01:24. > :01:26.Fracking is the last gasp of the fossil fuel dinosaurs. Todax's march
:01:27. > :01:29.comes on the eve of a cruci`l decision expected tomorrow ` on
:01:30. > :01:34.whether protesters at Barton Moss should be evicted or allowed to
:01:35. > :01:37.stay. Currently around 60 pdople are camping near the site where Igas is
:01:38. > :01:46.test drilling. This man was involved in stopping lorries entering the
:01:47. > :01:49.site. If it goes against us, we ll move to wherever else. We won't
:01:50. > :01:52.stop. Today's protest was pdaceful and the march ended with calpaigners
:01:53. > :02:01.confident they had sent a clear message.

:02:29. > :02:31.broke out at a paper recyclhng plant in Salford. The blaze ` which is
:02:32. > :02:34.smouldering beneath the surface ` is continuing to give off thick smoke.
:02:35. > :02:37.A joint investigation into how the fire started has begun. Meanwhile,
:02:38. > :02:42.officers say the operation to fully extinguish the flames could last
:02:43. > :02:47.another two weeks. It could take a fortnight. I'd like to think it will
:02:48. > :02:52.take less time. Hopefully it will. This isn't unusual... It can take a
:02:53. > :02:55.long time. There are pockets which will burst into flames when they
:02:56. > :03:10.come into contact with air. It's a slow process to get to ground floor
:03:11. > :03:14.level. On to sport now, and there've been
:03:15. > :03:17.two games involving north wdst sides in Super League this afternoon.

:03:49. > :03:52.In the Sky Bet Championship, Burnley beat neighbours Blackburn Rovers at
:03:53. > :03:55.Ewood Park for the first tile since 1979 this afternoon. Rovers were

:04:14. > :04:21.for Sean Dyche's side, who loved eight points clear in the sdcond
:04:22. > :04:26.automatic promotion spot. It's fantastic. We've given the fans
:04:27. > :04:28.something to remember. The players deserve enormous credit for
:04:29. > :04:33.everything they're doing thhs season but certainly for today.
:04:34. > :04:37.And you can get much more rdaction from the celebrating Clarets fans at
:04:38. > :04:41.the East Lancashire derby ` and all the rest of the north west's teams `
:04:42. > :04:49.in Late Kick Off. That's on BBC One at 11.20pm tomorrow evening.
:04:50. > :04:54.Let's take a look at the we`ther forecast now. Here's Charlid Slater.
:04:55. > :05:00.Good evening. Commiserations if you were under the coastal cloud today.
:05:01. > :05:07.Tomorrow will be much better. Temperatures were around 16 and 17
:05:08. > :05:18.today, and it will be a mild night. Rain clears away. This part of the
:05:19. > :05:25.North West gets the best of the brightness. Blue skies and sunshine.
:05:26. > :05:36.It's relatively mild for thd time of year. As you can see, thanks to this
:05:37. > :05:40.high pressure, it's settled. It doesn't look like it wants to move
:05:41. > :05:46.so it should be dry and settled for the rest of the working week. That's
:05:47. > :06:17.all for now. Goodbye. Aggro in good and Wales had warm
:06:18. > :06:21.weather today with the hotspot Gravesend in Kent.
:06:22. > :06:26.For Scotland and Ireland, your weather will improve this week. It
:06:27. > :06:30.wasn't there today with the cloud. Some rain in Northern Ireland
:06:31. > :06:35.pushing across more of Scotland and the next few hours. This weather
:06:36. > :06:41.front is moving south overnight but by the end of the night is nothing
:06:42. > :06:45.more than a bit of cloud. Behind it, skies clear by the end of the
:06:46. > :06:50.night in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so a touch of frost, patchy
:06:51. > :06:55.ice and fog. Tomorrow brings a complete reversal of fortunes. The
:06:56. > :06:58.northern half of the UK will be sunny once any patchy fog clears
:06:59. > :07:03.away. Not much warmer numerically but in the sunshine, it will feel
:07:04. > :07:07.warmer, whereas much of England and Wales will be cloudy and cooler
:07:08. > :07:12.compared to today, especially along the North Sea coast, with cloud and
:07:13. > :07:15.a brisk north-easterly wind. Where we saw 19 degrees today, it will be
:07:16. > :07:16.closer to nine tomorrow,
