:00:00. > 3:59:59early 1990s. That's all from the BBC News at Six. It's goodbye from me.
:00:00. > :00:08.On Good evening. Welcome to North West
:00:09. > :00:11.Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top storx tonight
:00:12. > :00:20.is a potential bumper jobs boost for Barrow. Yes, ?300 million to be
:00:21. > :00:24.spent on revamping the famots shipyard. When it is finishdd, they
:00:25. > :00:27.say, it will be fit to build the next generation of nuclear
:00:28. > :00:30.submarines. We'll hear from the leader of the local council. Also
:00:31. > :00:33.tonight: The father of a Merseyside sailor imprisoned in India since
:00:34. > :00:36.Christmas talks of his fears. The volunteer paramedics convicted
:00:37. > :00:41.after helping at a road acchdent ` even the judge thinks it's tnfair.
:00:42. > :00:43.And the art of selfie promotion Manchester is named the self`snap
:00:44. > :01:03.capital of Europe. Thousands of new jobs could be
:01:04. > :01:05.created in Barrow after the government announced a ?300 million
:01:06. > :01:09.investment in the town's shhpyard. It'll mean a major redevelopment for
:01:10. > :01:13.the site to prepare for a ndw generation of nuclear submarines.
:01:14. > :01:20.The decision on whether to build them, though, is still two xears
:01:21. > :01:25.away. Potentially, good news, though. Our Chief Reporter Dave
:01:26. > :01:31.Guest is in Barrow now. Davd. Yes, and the dock behind me as to be
:01:32. > :01:34.the most famous landmark around these parts, but it is a landmark
:01:35. > :01:39.that is going to change, as they redeveloped the shipyard, spending
:01:40. > :01:43.300 and pounds. They say thdy will need around 850 people to c`rry out
:01:44. > :01:47.construction work in the next eight years, and they say when it is
:01:48. > :01:54.finished, this place will bd fit to build the new generation of nuclear
:01:55. > :01:57.submarines. These duke class submarines are kept Barrow busy for
:01:58. > :02:01.a number of years now, and will pull some years to come. There is an air
:02:02. > :02:05.of optimism about the place. I have lived in Barrow all my life, and I
:02:06. > :02:09.think the fact that BAE are doing such great things with the
:02:10. > :02:16.submarines, it is fantastic to have that opportunity. What do you see
:02:17. > :02:21.yourselves being here when xou reach retirement age? I hope so. BAE
:02:22. > :02:25.Systems were commissioned to build seven submarines in all. Two are in
:02:26. > :02:28.service, four are in progress, and today they announced that work has
:02:29. > :02:34.now begun on the seventh and final one. This is the third of the
:02:35. > :02:38.submarines being built here in Barrow. Not a place for the
:02:39. > :02:42.claustrophobic. 100 people can spend up to two or three months all`cause
:02:43. > :02:46.at it together in here. Obvhously, they get to know one another very
:02:47. > :02:50.well. This submarine is classed as nearly finished, though it will not
:02:51. > :02:58.actually see operational service until 2016. This Duke class is
:02:59. > :03:04.nuclear power, but does not carry nuclear weaponry. That is the job of
:03:05. > :03:07.the Vanguard class, who are now reaching the end of their n`tural
:03:08. > :03:12.lives. A replacement is being considered, but the decision will
:03:13. > :03:15.not be made to 2016. We will support investment. Today, the Defence
:03:16. > :03:19.Secretary said millions of pounds are being made available to Barrow
:03:20. > :03:25.so the yard can be prepared to build that successors of Marine. Ht is a
:03:26. > :03:29.big investment, 300 million, which relies on some 850 construction
:03:30. > :03:33.jobs, but it also safeguard our ability to build nuclear submarines
:03:34. > :03:37.into the future. Millions are being spent preparing for the success but
:03:38. > :03:42.suppose there was no successor? What then for this yard? It is a
:03:43. > :03:46.political decision, and we respect that. We are focused on the planet
:03:47. > :03:50.getting ready to build a successor, starting in two to 16. Forttnately,
:03:51. > :03:53.there is a high degree of cross`party consensus betwedn the
:03:54. > :03:58.two major parties on the importance of this programme to Britain's
:03:59. > :04:02.defence. So, assuming the stccessor is built in Barrow, they sax it will
:04:03. > :04:09.create a next 1000 jobs on this site. So, 1000 jobs here, btt
:04:10. > :04:15.potentially many hundreds more elsewhere. I am joined now by the
:04:16. > :04:20.council leader. Presumably, this place thriving pasty be good for the
:04:21. > :04:23.area? Same absolutely. This project is just so important at a whole
:04:24. > :04:27.range of levels. It is important for the people who work in the xard at
:04:28. > :04:32.the moment for job security. It is important for the people who
:04:33. > :04:34.actually do the construction. There is employment there, there hs
:04:35. > :04:39.employment for people in thd future who come to build the next level.
:04:40. > :04:45.Then there is also the impact on the town itself, businesses will pick
:04:46. > :04:50.up, etc, and when you do a big project like this, I am surd there
:04:51. > :04:54.are potential investors who are looking at the interview now and
:04:55. > :04:58.think, what is going on in Barrow? We will have a look. So agahn, there
:04:59. > :05:03.is potential for development in the town as well. In the 90s, this place
:05:04. > :05:06.had its problems. They say when the shipyard has a sniffle, Barrow
:05:07. > :05:11.catches a cold. Presumably when it is in health, that is good news
:05:12. > :05:14.Absolutely first`class news. Again, there is partnership work going on
:05:15. > :05:18.in the town which helped to sustain that. We have a working rel`tionship
:05:19. > :05:22.with the management in the xard and other organisations, so that we
:05:23. > :05:25.speak with one voice, and that is about building the next gendration
:05:26. > :05:29.of submarines in Barrow. Thhs all depends on that new generathon of
:05:30. > :05:32.submarines being commissiondd by whichever government is in power in
:05:33. > :05:39.2016. Are you as confident `s everybody was today about that? Yes,
:05:40. > :05:43.in a word. It is necessary to have a successor class, because th`t gives
:05:44. > :05:48.us our place at the world t`ble it helps us to defend our country
:05:49. > :05:53.should that be necessary, and so it is just so important to the whole
:05:54. > :05:58.Britain, not just to Barrow. Thank you very much. So, a Labour council
:05:59. > :06:02.leader agreeing with a Tory defence minister who was here earlidr today.
:06:03. > :06:05.I will hand back to you. That is nice to hear, a bitter
:06:06. > :06:09.political consensus. The jury in the trial of thd Ribble
:06:10. > :06:12.Valley MP Nigel Evans has hdard that the man who was allegedly assaulted
:06:13. > :06:15.in the MP's home later described him as a "good egg". The man's
:06:16. > :06:19.girlfriend told the court she thought Mr Evans had fallen in love
:06:20. > :06:26.with him. Our Political Editor Arif Ansari joins us from Preston Crown
:06:27. > :06:33.Court. So what happened tod`y, Arif? Well, they fall of this tri`l, and
:06:34. > :06:36.Mr Evans arrived here this lorning to listen to the cross`examhnation
:06:37. > :06:42.of the man who claims he was sexually assaulted while st`ying at
:06:43. > :06:47.Mr Evans's home in his constituency in Pendleton. It was put to that man
:06:48. > :06:53.that in fact, he willingly slept with Mr Evans on the sofa.
:06:54. > :07:00.Absolutely not, he replied, but he admitted that he continued to see Mr
:07:01. > :07:04.Evans regularly and rationally at Westminster, as he later described
:07:05. > :07:08.Mr Evans as an all`round good egg and eventually came to view the
:07:09. > :07:12.incident with a degree of amusement. This afternoon, the
:07:13. > :07:16.man's girlfriend at the timd gave evidence. She said, I had come to
:07:17. > :07:24.the conclusion that Nigel w`s in love with him, but not necessarily
:07:25. > :07:27.prior to this event. She added: Nigel never liked me very mtch. At
:07:28. > :07:32.that point, Mr Evans appeardd to smile from the dock. I belidve
:07:33. > :07:37.details emerge of how anothdr MP helped bring these allegations into
:07:38. > :07:40.the public domain? Ya, that is right. The court heard how the
:07:41. > :07:46.alleged victim was discussing life at Westminster with Doctor Sarah
:07:47. > :07:51.Woolston, another Conservathve MP. She apparently seized on a chance
:07:52. > :07:56.remark, asked to see him later, and then urged him to take thesd matters
:07:57. > :08:00.to the Commons Speaker, John Bercow, which is exactly what happened. In
:08:01. > :08:11.court, the defence barrister described events.
:08:12. > :08:28.He admitted that events werd, in his words, spiralling out of control. Mr
:08:29. > :08:39.Evans left court this evening still facing nine charges. He denhes them
:08:40. > :08:43.all. The case continues on Londay. The father of a Merseyside lan who
:08:44. > :08:45.was among 16 oil workers who died in a helicopter crash are callhng for
:08:46. > :08:49.the Kraft's operator to be prosecuted. James Edwards from
:08:50. > :08:53.Fazakerley was one of those who lost their lives when the Super Puma came
:08:54. > :08:56.down in the North Sea five xears ago. An enquiry has found that the
:08:57. > :08:59.tragedy could have been prevented. Relatives are now calling for a
:09:00. > :09:04.criminal investigation. If there is something wrong, you look for it and
:09:05. > :09:08.fix it, especially a helicopter or any aircraft, for that mattdr.
:09:09. > :09:12.Unless you have actually fotnd a problem and fixed it. I just can't
:09:13. > :09:14.understand why there was no prosecution brought.
:09:15. > :09:17.A Manchester teacher who's charged with terrorism offences has been
:09:18. > :09:20.remanded in custody by magistrates in London. 29`year`old Jamshed
:09:21. > :09:24.Javeed from Levenshulme was arrested on Tuesday by police investhgating
:09:25. > :09:28.links with the war in Syria. He ll appear again at the Old Bailey next
:09:29. > :09:30.month. Liverpool Football Club has
:09:31. > :09:33.announced plans for a charity match to mark the 25th anniversarx of the
:09:34. > :09:37.Hillsborough disaster. Footballers past and present will take place.
:09:38. > :09:41.The aim is to celebrate the lives of the 96 fans who died. Half the money
:09:42. > :09:51.raised will go to the Hillsborough Families Support Group and the rest
:09:52. > :09:55.to the LFC Foundation. For le personally, I will be there to enjoy
:09:56. > :09:59.the occasion, and I'm sure ` lot of other first`team players will be
:10:00. > :10:03.there as well to play their part. Let's just hope that we can fill a
:10:04. > :10:04.stadium and make it a fantastic occasion.
:10:05. > :10:07.Blackpool Illuminations switch`on will revert back to being a free
:10:08. > :10:11.event this year. Last year, when Gary Barlow stood in at the last
:10:12. > :10:14.minute after The Script pulled out, tickets were ?34. Organisers hoped
:10:15. > :10:21.to make the event profitabld within five years, but the two`day event
:10:22. > :10:25.lost ?372,000. The father of a Merseyside sailor
:10:26. > :10:29.who's been in jail in India for five months says the worry is tyhng him
:10:30. > :10:32.up in knots. Paul Towers, who's originally from Litherland, was one
:10:33. > :10:34.of six Britons arrested aftdr the Indian coastguard seized an
:10:35. > :10:39.American`owned vessel carryhng guns and ammunition. The company says the
:10:40. > :10:44.vessel was protecting merch`nt ships in the Arabian Gulf, and it had
:10:45. > :10:50.permits for all the arms aboard Here's our Merseyside reporter Andy
:10:51. > :10:54.Gill. In the five months since his son was
:10:55. > :10:58.arrested, Don Towers has had one letter from him. At home in
:10:59. > :11:06.Litherland this afternoon, he spoke of the effect the waiting is having.
:11:07. > :11:12.It can tie you up in knots, you know? It's had an effect on all of
:11:13. > :11:17.his family. Everybody is concerned about it. Highly concerned. Paul
:11:18. > :11:20.Towers was working for a firm providing security for merchant
:11:21. > :11:23.ships in the Arabian Gulf. The Indian authorities seized the ship
:11:24. > :11:28.last October when they found 35 rifles and nearly 6,000 rounds of
:11:29. > :11:31.ammunition aboard. The ship's owners say the Indian coastguard allowed it
:11:32. > :11:36.to enter the port of Tuticorin to shelter from a cyclone. But Indian
:11:37. > :11:42.authorities say they intercdpted the vessel and the ammunition h`d not
:11:43. > :11:45.been properly declared. A total of 35 crewmen are in jail in Chennai
:11:46. > :11:51.facing charges, including illegally transporting arms. Paul's f`ther
:11:52. > :12:02.believes he can cope with bding in jail. Any father would worrx. Has it
:12:03. > :12:07.been difficult? Yes, but I know he is a strong lad. He was in the Army.
:12:08. > :12:09.All the lads were in the arly. They are all strong lads. In a statement,
:12:10. > :12:24.the British Foreign Office said Paul's family say the case hs due
:12:25. > :12:30.before the Indian courts ag`in tomorrow, and they're hoping
:12:31. > :12:36.there'll be fresh news. Still to come on North West Tonight:
:12:37. > :12:40.Happy holiday memories for Salford's schoolchildren. But for how much
:12:41. > :12:45.longer? We report on the calpaign to save the Jam Butty camp.
:12:46. > :12:54.And, hello, everybody! Manchester tops the European table for selfies.
:12:55. > :12:59.A court has "regretfully" rtled that two volunteer paramedics from
:13:00. > :13:03.Manchester can no longer usd sirens and flashing lights to reach
:13:04. > :13:07.emergencies. Michael Issler and Mark Bamberger were reported by police
:13:08. > :13:10.officers for using what are known as "blues and twos" to reach the
:13:11. > :13:15.victims of a road accident on the outskirts of Bury last year. They're
:13:16. > :13:19.members of a Jewish medical organisation called Hatzolah.
:13:20. > :13:27.Chances are you might not h`ve heard of them before. Annabel can explain.
:13:28. > :13:31.Hatzolah takes its name frol the Hebrew word for "rescue" and it s
:13:32. > :13:34.thought to be the largest volunteer Ambulance Service in the world. It
:13:35. > :13:38.was founded in the late 1960s in Williamsburg in New York. In the UK,
:13:39. > :13:43.there are four Hatzolah chapters ` two in London, one in Gateshead and
:13:44. > :13:47.one in Manchester. Volunteers are trained in emergency medicine. They
:13:48. > :13:50.cover smaller areas, so say they can get to an emergency faster.
:13:51. > :13:53.Crucially, though, the servhce claims it's more aware of the
:13:54. > :13:59.particular cultural needs of the orthodox Jewish community. But it's
:14:00. > :14:03.the use of blue lights and sirens which has got the Manchester
:14:04. > :14:10.volunteers into trouble. Sttart Flinders went to meet them.
:14:11. > :14:17.It's an unlikely looking ambulance ` a Mercedes car. And these are no
:14:18. > :14:21.run`of`the`mill paramedics. What do you do for a living? Property
:14:22. > :14:26.Management. So you are not ` professional full`time medical Umag
:14:27. > :14:30.absolutely not. You do have some medical training? We do. We have
:14:31. > :14:33.ongoing medical training, rdfresher courses. Michael Issler and Mark
:14:34. > :14:36.Bamberger are Hatzolah volunteers. It's a Jewish organisation based in
:14:37. > :14:39.north Manchester. Last October, they were reported by Greater Manchester
:14:40. > :14:48.Police for using two`tone shrens and flashing blue lights. Originally,
:14:49. > :14:51.magistrates refused to convhcted two men of any offence, but that has now
:14:52. > :14:57.been overturned in the High Court. The judge said it is with rdgret
:14:58. > :15:00.that the volunteer paramedics seeking only to do good, must be
:15:01. > :15:07.convicted of a criminal offdnce It means the siren and flashing lights
:15:08. > :15:14.can no longer be used. It is going to cause us issues. Ultimatdly, an
:15:15. > :15:17.urgent call comes through, baby choking, a heart attack, solething
:15:18. > :15:19.like that, it can take is a lot longer to get there with tr`ffic
:15:20. > :15:40.constraints. Greater Manchester Police say:
:15:41. > :15:46.surely, this sort of facility, the permission to use blue lights and
:15:47. > :15:52.sirens, has to be limited to those people who are professionals? No.
:15:53. > :15:56.The blue light since Ireland's allow me to get there in time, or no blue
:15:57. > :15:59.lights and sirens, but then, we will be late. The volunteers say other
:16:00. > :16:01.police forces take a differdnt attitude, and they're considering
:16:02. > :16:08.challenging the court's interpretation of the rules.
:16:09. > :16:11.The Salford Children's Holiday Camp ` affectionally known as thd "Jam
:16:12. > :16:14.Butty Camp" ` was set up in Prestatyn almost 80 years ago for
:16:15. > :16:20.disadvantaged children from the city. These days, children from any
:16:21. > :16:23.Salford Primary school can go there in return for a donation. The
:16:24. > :16:26.council says budget cuts me`n they can no longer fund it, but
:16:27. > :16:40.fundraisers believe it must stay open. Yunus Mulla reports.
:16:41. > :16:46.Let's also not forget there was another holiday camp in Prestatyn,
:16:47. > :16:50.opened in 1926. It was the chance to get away from the slums of Salford.
:16:51. > :16:54.The word Paul was later dropped and a small contribution introdtced
:16:55. > :17:00.Over the years, it became known as the Jam Butty camp. The children
:17:01. > :17:04.from Primrose Hill in Salford were planning to go this summer, and had
:17:05. > :17:08.their deposits ready. They told us we were not going to Prestatyn. I
:17:09. > :17:13.felt really upset, because H went last year and found it really fun.
:17:14. > :17:16.The letter we had during thd holidays was the first opportunity
:17:17. > :17:22.that we knew anything about the camp actually closing. Salford council
:17:23. > :17:26.needs to make ?97 million worth of budget cuts. They can no longer
:17:27. > :17:30.afford to give a grant of ?40,0 0 per year to the camp. The council
:17:31. > :17:34.has to look at every little bit of spending that it makes, and
:17:35. > :17:37.therefore, it has chosen to cut this particular grant. There are many
:17:38. > :17:42.other grants that have been cut as well. This is when Nick Abbot and
:17:43. > :17:46.his supporters coming. A have raised enough to keep it open temporarily,
:17:47. > :17:50.and are working on a long`tdrm plan. It is a fantastic asset for the
:17:51. > :17:54.city, and there are tens of thousands of children who normally
:17:55. > :18:00.never have a holiday, whose first experience is Salford children's
:18:01. > :18:03.holiday camp. A petition has attracted almost 1400 signatures. We
:18:04. > :18:07.still live in a world where people are getting food from food banks. We
:18:08. > :18:12.are not in a world where evdryone has a great income and can `fford a
:18:13. > :18:16.holiday. The children come from broken homes... Tomorrow, a rescue
:18:17. > :18:19.plan will be put to Salford council. But will the authority
:18:20. > :18:26.agreed at the camp is needed as much now as when it was first opdned
:18:27. > :18:30.Lots of happy memories for people there. Running into the sea in your
:18:31. > :18:35.pants! Great memories. A sulmer holiday for you. As a kid!
:18:36. > :18:39.Let's have a look at sport now. Richard is here, and we knew it was
:18:40. > :18:42.a long shot for Manchester City against Barcelona in the Ch`mpions
:18:43. > :18:44.League, and it proved to be the case?
:18:45. > :18:47.Yes, it was always going to be difficult. City are out of the
:18:48. > :18:51.Champions League after losing 2`1 at the Nou Camp to Barca just ` few
:18:52. > :18:55.days after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Wigan. The Bltes had
:18:56. > :18:58.to overturn a 2`0 deficit from the first leg, but conceded aftdr Joleon
:18:59. > :19:01.Lescott's defensive error w`s punished by Lionel Messi. Vhncent
:19:02. > :19:05.Kompany got the equaliser, but a minute later, Dani Alves got another
:19:06. > :19:13.for Barca to give them a 4`0 aggregate win. Some good news at
:19:14. > :19:16.least for Blues fans ` City seem to be playing down fears that Sergio
:19:17. > :19:19.Aguero picked up another injury Yes, no definitive statement from
:19:20. > :19:23.City as yet, but the word after the game was that it was more of a
:19:24. > :19:26.precautionary measure. And with the Premier League title race now the
:19:27. > :19:29.focus for the Blues, they'll certainly need their top scorer and
:19:30. > :19:33.will want to put last night behind them. Not least Pablo Zabaldtta who
:19:34. > :19:38.after Edin Djeko wasn't awarded a penalty, was sent off for dhssent.
:19:39. > :19:42.In the Championship, Burnlex led at Birmingham three times but conceded

:20:22. > :20:24.British women's team, which is based in Manchester, is under thrdat. The
:20:25. > :20:27.team have had their funding withdrawn by UK Sport, which
:20:28. > :20:33.allocates money to Olympic teams. Stuart Pollitt reports.
:20:34. > :20:40.Is the future of the British women's water polo team below the
:20:41. > :20:44.water line? Last month, the team were told their funding was
:20:45. > :20:52.finished. It was absolutely devastating. No words can ptt into
:20:53. > :20:56.what I was feeling. I did think it was `` didn't think it was real at
:20:57. > :21:01.first. The women's team recdived around ?3 million of funding for
:21:02. > :21:05.London 2012, increase last xear to four and a half million through two
:21:06. > :21:09.Rio 2016, but a few weeks ago, UK Sport told the team they were
:21:10. > :21:12.withdrawing the money and they would get nothing at all. You plan your
:21:13. > :21:17.future based on this funding, and now it is gone? Yes. The Olxmpic
:21:18. > :21:22.Games was the thing that evdryone wanted to do, and the dream is just
:21:23. > :21:27.not there any more. Keeping the dream alive depends on winnhng an
:21:28. > :21:31.appeal UK Sport's decision. A verdict is due next week. It is very
:21:32. > :21:39.much now an elitist agenda of success, of medals, and
:21:40. > :21:43.qualification for team sport at the finals of the Olympics. I think we
:21:44. > :21:47.may need to look at this agdnda we may need to see whether it should
:21:48. > :21:51.not be widened. All the hours my mum put in getting about 5am to get to
:21:52. > :21:57.training, going into work l`te, coming out early to get me. It does
:21:58. > :22:01.not just impact me, but everyone. UK Sport says the impact of its money
:22:02. > :22:05.is to produce medals, not please mothers, and at the moment, medals
:22:06. > :22:13.or a long shot for water polo. For this team, just staying afloat is
:22:14. > :22:17.the goal for now. Took part in one water polo game
:22:18. > :22:19.once. It was absolutely exh`usting. Thank you very much.
:22:20. > :22:23.Do you recognise the photo behind us? It was taken during the Oscars
:22:24. > :22:27.recently and featured a host of A`list film stars. It's the most
:22:28. > :22:32.famous example yet of the "selfie", a photo you take yourself using your
:22:33. > :22:35.own camera and an outstretched arm. This is the latest selfie ` which
:22:36. > :22:45.hasn't taken the social medha networks by storm. What a h`ndsome
:22:46. > :22:48.bunch! It's the NWT producthon team! Perhaps not quite so glamorous. And
:22:49. > :22:51.the reason we're talking about selfies is that Time magazine has
:22:52. > :22:52.named Manchester as Europe's Selfie Capital. So we sent Suzanne Hailey
:22:53. > :23:08.to find out why. That Oscar selfie, the most
:23:09. > :23:13.retweeted HR of all time. Sdlf these are the social media trend of the
:23:14. > :23:16.moment. And nowhere more so than in Manchester. You want to feel good
:23:17. > :23:23.about yourself, so you put xourself out there. I macro the sexy ones
:23:24. > :23:27.are... When nature writer do the smile like this as well. It is a
:23:28. > :23:32.trend really, just to capture the moment. A reasons but the instant
:23:33. > :23:39.gram pictures tagged as selfie and posted with a location showdd 1 4
:23:40. > :23:43.self snappers for every 100,000 people in Manchester. The hhghest in
:23:44. > :23:47.Europe, and the seventh highest in the world. Closely followed by
:23:48. > :23:54.image`conscious Milan. We t`ke more Selbys here... I better movd! They
:23:55. > :23:59.are a bit of fun. I have never taken one. But, of course, you can only
:24:00. > :24:03.take a selfie if you can work out how. But what is it that makes us
:24:04. > :24:07.want to take pictures of ourselves and share them with the world? I
:24:08. > :24:12.think it links to something in social psychology called self
:24:13. > :24:15.presentation. We always want to portray the most positive ilage we
:24:16. > :24:21.can, normally, to the peopld around us. The best way of ensuring that
:24:22. > :24:28.you have the best angle, thd best side, is to do it yourself. But what
:24:29. > :24:32.makes a selfie? Well, according to one definition, it is a photograph
:24:33. > :24:35.that one has taken of 1's sdlf, typically taken with a smartphone or
:24:36. > :24:39.webcam, and uploaded to a social media website. Perhaps someone
:24:40. > :24:46.should try explaining it to this lady. Recent figures show that over
:24:47. > :24:49.half of us have now taken a selfie, but perhaps that does not include
:24:50. > :24:58.those of us who aren't prep`red to admit it.
:24:59. > :25:04.Here we go. Make sure I get it right. There we are. A live selfie
:25:05. > :25:11.on North West Tonight! I will put it on Twitter. That will break the
:25:12. > :25:16.million pound mark. You had a hand in front of your face there. If you
:25:17. > :25:23.are camera shy, why are you doing this job? That was my pose! You need
:25:24. > :25:29.to do something a bit different And now, the weather.
:25:30. > :25:33.We promise a lot of fog this morning, and there was fog to start
:25:34. > :25:37.with. It was slow to lift, `nd there is more at the same in the next 12
:25:38. > :25:42.to 24 hours. Another yellow warning from The Met Office for fog. This
:25:43. > :25:47.one is valid from 1am until 11am tomorrow morning, so this evening
:25:48. > :25:51.was at with clear skies initially. The fog begins to spread in from
:25:52. > :25:58.across the Irish Sea. It will be very tense overnight. Some lissed in
:25:59. > :26:03.between that, and frost as well Temperatures, you can see, not too
:26:04. > :26:07.bad, down to three or four Celsius. Tomorrow morning, we start with a
:26:08. > :26:11.lot of fog again. There could be problems on the road, visibhlity
:26:12. > :26:15.problems for Brecht was rush hour, and the BBC local radio stations
:26:16. > :26:24.will keep you up to date through the morning. This is the fog tolorrow
:26:25. > :26:28.morning. You can see it is right across the region. Not a brhlliant
:26:29. > :26:34.start, but into the afternoon, that fog begins to lift. Very, vdry
:26:35. > :26:38.slow. Again, we will see a lot of ploughed around, and for thd first
:26:39. > :26:43.time in a few days, we will see some spots of rain through the afternoon.
:26:44. > :26:47.The westerly winds also start to pick up a tad. It won't be
:26:48. > :26:52.particularly warm tomorrow. 12 or 13 Celsius in the South, but over
:26:53. > :26:58.Cumbria, just seven or eight Celsius with bits and pieces of rain, so we
:26:59. > :27:03.had into view weekend hanging on to high pressure. It will bring a lot
:27:04. > :27:10.of ploughed. We will see sole more rain on Saturday, not particularly
:27:11. > :27:14.heavy. Disappointing temper`tures, so cloudier, breezy, and as you can
:27:15. > :27:22.see, cooler over the weekend. Thank you very much. I have Twitter
:27:23. > :27:30.on my phone. It has not crashed Not yet. It is worth having a look. You
:27:31. > :27:34.can see why people take Selbys. It is an easy way of quickly sdnding a
:27:35. > :27:39.picture to family or friends. It would be nice to see other peoples
:27:40. > :27:41.as well. We have had a few sent in. That is it. Thanks for watching
:27:42. > :27:45.Good night.
