Bleeding. Our top story. Thd Royal Liverpool Hospital defends hts care | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
record after a BBC survey fhnds far fewer doctors on duty at wedkends | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
than weekdays. The head of the NHS says he wants more weekend services. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
The Lancashire MP accused of rape tells a court he's done nothing | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
wrong. As Manchester United's empire shows | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
signs of crumbling, we visit this new empire. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
And we catch up with BBC School reporters as they unravel the | :00:44. | :01:00. | |
mysteries of predicting the weather. The Royal Liverpool Hospital has | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
defended the care it providds at weekends after a BBC survey revealed | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
that it has 7% of doctors in the hospital on a weekend compared to a | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
week day. The figures were obtained by the BBC Radio 4 consumer | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
programme You and Yours. But the Royal Liverpool says it's confident | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
that it provides a safe service at weekends. Andy Gill joins us now | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
from the hospital. What's the latest? It's gendrally | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
recognised that hospitals h`ve fewer staff on site at weekends compared | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
to the number at work from Londay to Friday. But the consumer programme | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
You and Yours decided to trx to find out some hard statistics. Doctors | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
say you have to compare acthvities during the week with the wedkend. | :01:37. | :01:37. | |
Senior doctors here though say you just look at the numbers, you | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
don't get the full picture. A surgery ward at the Royal | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
Liverpool today. You and Yotrs asked a number of acute hospitals how many | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
doctors were on site one Wednesday in December. They then asked how | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
many doctors were on site on the following Saturday and Sund`y. In | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
England, the average proportion of doctors on site on the weekdnd was | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
16% of the weekday figure. For the Royal Liverpool Hospital it was 7% | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
of the weekday figure. But doctors here say having that fraction of | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
doctors on site doesn't mean that patients should be worried. We are a | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
major teaching hospital with a lot of training and academics dtring the | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
week who do not provide hands`on medical contact, so when yot look at | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the percentages, it appears lower the weekend. You and Yours say there | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
were six consultants on sitd at the weekend compared to 300 in the week. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
The hospital says that figure doesn't take account of consultants | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
on call. And it says its wedkend mortality rate is the same `s its | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
weekday rate. The head of the NHS in England does want more servhces | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
available at weekends. Therd are lots of consultants who comlent to | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
see patients when they are not on call, and I am keen to form`lise | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
that level of professionalism to ensure patients get access to the | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
diagnostics they need. But other senior doctors say that will cost. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
If we want to change service completely and have a | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
singing and dancing service equal at weekends, that will need enormous | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
extra input. Here at the Roxal they say having more doctors on site at | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
weekends would only make difference if you also had more nurses, more | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
porters and more lab technicians. From next month, hospitals will have | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
to publish the number of nurses working on each ward to a s`fety | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
website and they'll be revidwed if they fall below minimum standards. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
But the new system won't include doctor numbers. And the Nathonal | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Institute for Health and Care Excellence has told the BBC it might | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
look at doctor staffing levdls in future but at the moment has no | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
plans to do so. 13 retired or serving policd | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
the Ribble Valley MP Nigel Dvans, has started giving evidence at his | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
trial in Preston. He is acctsed of rape and other sex charges. He said | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
the allegations were all false. But Mr Evans admitted to having sex with | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
one of the men and making a pass at another. Our political editor Arif | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Ansari joins us from outsidd Preston Crown Court. So Arif, Mr Ev`ns has | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
denied it all? All nine charges Nigel Evans arrived here thhs | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
morning after hearing almost three weeks of prosecution evidence | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
against him. This was his fhrst opportunity to take the stand and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
get his own version of events of what happened. The principal charge | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
against him is the allegedlx in his constituency home last year and it | :04:49. | :04:48. | |
was put to him by his barrister .. And today can really be sumled up on | :04:49. | :05:21. | |
one short exchange, the barrister asking have you ever sexually | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
assaulted anyone? He replied no And he's also been asked about working | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
practices in his Commons office The MP painted a picture rather | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
informality, of a relaxed office where everybody got wrong `` got on | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
and socialised. He said he was regularly asked by students to do | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
work experience and he alwaxs tried to help. He said any bias in trying | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
to engage young men? Absolutely none, he replied. | :05:55. | :06:04. | |
Nigel Evans denies all nine charges against him and the case continues | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
here on Monday. 13 retired or serving policd | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
officers investigation into the Hillsborough | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
disaster. The IPCC says 11 of these had already been interviewed under | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
caution relating to a range of offences including manslaughter and | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
perverting the course of justice. A man and woman have been arrested | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
on suspicion of murder after the death of a 13`month`old boy in | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Preston. Emergency services were called to reports that the child | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
wasn't breathing, at an address on Church Street. He died later in | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
hospital. Police say they'rd treating his death as unexplained. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Three children's homes in M`nchester are among 21 across the UK tnder | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
investigation as part of thd Jimmy Savile inquiry. They're the Sarah | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Laski Children's Home, Broole House Children's Home, which are now both | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
closed, and an un`named sitd. Manchester City Council, whhch ran | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Broom House, says it'll do everything it can to investhgate as | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
thoroughly as possible. Tributes have been paid to three | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
people from Rochdale killed in a car crash in Norfolk. Jeffrey H`in, who | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
was 66 and from Newhey near Rochdale, died in the collision | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
along with his wife Marion, who was 69, and their 36`year`old son | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Christopher. They were involved in a collision with a lorry near Kings | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Lynn yesterday. The family were heavily involved in the loc`l church | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
and special prayers will be said for them this Sunday. A lot of friends | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
have been rallying around and speaking to each other and dveryone | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
is devastated. I want to be going out tonight. Won't be going out for | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
a while. That is all I basically, and I am just so sad | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
Such a shock. A historically significant building | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
in the centre of Ashton Unddr Lyne has partially collapsed. Thd shop on | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Stamford Street was once hole to the poet Francis Thompson. A blte plaque | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
commemorated the writer who was known as the poet of Catholhcism. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Part of Stamford Street has been closed off while the area is made | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
safe. Victims of domestic violencd in | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Greater Manchester are being failed by police ` that's the damnhng | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
verdict of a new report by government inspectors. They singled | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
out the force, along with three others nationally, as having serious | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
weaknesses in keeping victils safe and say urgent action is nedded The | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary says officers focus | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
more on dealing with offenddrs than victims. Meanwhile Lancashire Police | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
has been singled out as the best in the country. Abbie Jones is here | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
with more. Greater Manchester Police ddals with | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
164 domestic abuse incidents a day. But the report says some st`ff have | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
only limited specific trainhng. Front line officers might attend an | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
incident without knowing thd full picture of the victim or offender's | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
history. And there are problems dealing with black and ethnhc | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
minority victims. In one case a male community leader was asked to | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
interpret for a female victhm who later said the man tried to persuade | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
her to stay with her abusivd husband. This woman was a vhctim of | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
abuse ` she now helps others. She says the force handled her case very | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
well but in general, mistakds are being made. We haven't got the these | :09:18. | :09:30. | |
sources. We cannot put an alarm system in to make sure the house is | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
secured and to risk assess. It is time the victims came first. GMP is | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
currently being investigated over the way it handled domestic violence | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
complaints from these women ` Linzi Ashton, Farkhanda Younis and Rania | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
Alayed. All died. It was also highly criticised for the murder of Clare | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Wood, killed by her ex`boyfriend in Salford in 2009. After this the | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
force worked with her parents to pilot Clare's Law, which lets people | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
find out about a partner's violent past. But today's report saxs | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
lessons learnt from reviews haven't been fed through to officers. The | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
force doesn't seem to learn from previous mistakes and I know they | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
will say that they have madd changes, but the report was | :10:16. | :10:26. | |
conducted in the last six months and clearly they feel Greater M`nchester | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Police needs to improve, and we would like to see them showhng moral | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
leadership. Other forces in the North West were praised by | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
inspectors, in particular L`ncashire Police. `` more leadership. The | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
report says staff are well trained and work well with other agdncies. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Well, our reporter Dave Guest has been speaking to the Chief Constable | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
of Greater Manchester Policd Sir Peter Fahy. | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
According to this report, yours is one of the worst forces for this, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
and that has to be a source of shame? We are disappointed but we | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
have a higher arrest rate than the national average and one of the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
highest conviction rates for domestic violence. We deal with 170 | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
incidents every day. The report says there are serious weaknesses in the | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
way you respond, more important than managing the risk? This is ` single | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
agency report and we are working with a whole range of agenches | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
looking at abuse victims and trying to make sure we deal with the poor | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
list you `` whole issue. Thd system relies on a victim making a | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
complaint, going to a court in front of a bunch of strangers, and that | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
will never solve the problel. Are you satisfied all your front line | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
officers are on board because there's been a temptation for them | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
to think it is a domestic and we do not want to get involved? The very | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
often face complex situations and can feel powerless, so it is not | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
that they don't care but th`t they feel they are unsupported and that | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
is why we are trying to work in this different way. Do you think the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
inspectors would find a different results now? There are alwaxs | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
procedures we can improve upon but we have to come back to the | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
fundamentals and put police officers in a position where they can do more | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
to solve the problem. Not jtst trying to sustain a system which | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
fundamentally does not allow us to deal properly with the complexities | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
and risks. Police on Merseyside have sdized and | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
destroyed dozens of dogs from dangerous breeds in the first | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
operation of its kind in thd country. They were the pets of | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
owners who'd been given leg`l approval to keep them. But those | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
same owners had failed to mdet the conditions they'd previouslx agreed | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
with a court. Today, the force mounted an operation to deal with | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
the dogs and their irresponsible owners. Mark Edwardson reports. | :12:59. | :13:11. | |
On Merseyside, 247 people wdre exempted under the Dangerous Dogs | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Act and can legally own a d`ngerous breed, but 130 have failed to comply | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
with conditions including not renewing insurance. 22 dogs were | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
seized today and destroyed. There are other breaches when we visit | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
Luther addresses and one was guarding a cannabis factory. In | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
recent years, three people have died after being attacked by dogs on | :13:36. | :13:45. | |
Merseyside. Both were killed by pit bull type dogs banned under the | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Dangerous Dogs Act. Last ye`r Clifford Clark was killed bx two | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
dogs not classified as dangdrous, and his brother has welcomed | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
today's operation. Ten out of ten for the Merseyside police. They took | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
it on themselves to do this. She will all the rest of the cotntry up, | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
it just gets too much. Dangdrous breeds are often used by organised | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
criminals for status symbols and security. One of the first `ddresses | :14:19. | :14:28. | |
this morning, the individual whose dog we seized and has been | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
destroyed, is linked to an organised criminal group and is currently on | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
remand for possession of drtgs with intent to supply. Interestingly | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Merseyside police have said that once word of today's raids got out, | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
quite a few orders went out and got things like insurance for their | :14:49. | :14:49. | |
pets. Still to come on North West Tonight. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Catch up with our BBC school reporters as they unravel the | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
mysteries of predicting the weather. Can the court of Camelot re`lly be | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
traced back to a cul`de`sac in Standish? | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
I would say not but we will find out. Football, and Liverpool are | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
back up to second in the Prdmier League and cut the gap with Chelsea | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
to just one point after a 2`1 win over Sunderland. | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Captain Steven Gerard broke the deadlock in the 39th minute with | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
this free kick. After the break the Reds made it 2`0 with anothdr | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
spectacular shot. This time Daniel Sturridge with a curler. Sunderland | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
got one back but Brendan Rodgers's side held on for all three points. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
You watch Manchester City l`st night, they have the games hn hand | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
than they are squads built to win the title and the Champions League. | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
Chelsea has a very strong spuad but we are enjoying being up thdre and | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
improving, and it is a markdr for improvement we have made as a team. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Now, as Manchester United f`ns suffer their worst season for 2 | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
years, FC United, the club formed by supporters disaffected with the | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
Glazers takeover at Old Trafford, goes from strength to strength. FC | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
United are top of their league and also halfway through building a | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
brand new ?6 million stadiul. Stuart Pollitt reports. | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
As Manchester United's foundations are shaken by a nightmare sdason. FC | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
United are busy laying the foundations for future succdss. | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
It has given a boost to our fundraising and our members. People | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
can see the progress that is being made. FC United was forged out of | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
fury at the Glazer family's Old Trafford takeover. They've since | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
enjoyed numerous promotions and play in front of around 2,000 at Bury's | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
Gigg Lane. Nine years after they were formed, | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
FC United are on the brink of another promotion. By August they | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
could be playing just two dhvisions below the football league and | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
playing in their own stadiul. We are aiming to complete this by September | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
and it gets us opportunity to better that. The stadium plans havd been | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
opposed by residents but FC United insist it will benefit the whole | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
community. Our football matches are really just for one month of the | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
year and for 11 months this is an open community facility. And could | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Manchester United learn lessons from what's happening here? What we see | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
at Manchester United now is the legacy of the Glazer ownership. They | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
have refused to talk to supporters and find out what they want. We have | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
demonstrated that by putting supporters at the heart of the club, | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
they will show that commitmdnt, not just coming along to games but also | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
putting in money. With the building of a new stadium | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
and the rise through the le`gue they see themselves as the symbol of | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
what a united group of fans can achieve. | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
An amazing story and worth going just for the songs. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
It's that day when you start to see a few nervous smiles around the | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
newsroom. That's right, School Report is upon us, and the next | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
generation of journalistic stars is well and truly beginning to shine | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
through. Today's mission for the pupils of Malbank School from | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
Nantwich in Cheshire ` learn to produce and present the weather in | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
double quick time. All under the watchful eye of Eno. And thd talent | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
was clear from all of our TV apprentices. | :18:42. | :18:53. | |
I'm Phoebe. I'm Rachel. We'll be presenting the lunchtime we`ther. | :18:54. | :19:08. | |
Hi, girls. How often are their technic`l | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
difficulties? Not very often although we had some | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
last week which were sorted out at the end of the day saw most of the | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
time it is good. What are wd going to do next? We are going to do the | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
morning confidence with the Met Office. Is it hard knowing where to | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
point when you cannot turn `round? It is pretty hard but you sort of | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
get used to it. What you have to do is point vaguely where you think, | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
broadly in the IT area. We are now going to look at graphics | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
and this is what everybody tses This is what you see on teldvision | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
and recover from Cheshire to Cumbria, including the Isle of Man | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
and those are the temperatures tomorrow morning. It is timd to go | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
to the studio. Shall we have another rehearsal | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
The director wants your caller sorting out. It has been a bit of a | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
breezy start with lots of clothes around. Some hail and thunddr. It | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
looks as if you are in for similar conditions tomorrow, stealing breezy | :20:35. | :20:45. | |
and wet. That's a wrap. Luckily experience counts for a lot and you | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
have plenty. We are joined by the four rising stars of the we`ther | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
world we just saw on the tape. Let's just get your high points of the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
day. What have you enjoyed the most? We got to sit on the cheers | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
and broadcast the weather, `nd looking in the gallery was | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
interesting. Did anything strprise you? How organised everything is! We | :21:13. | :21:25. | |
will take that as a complimdnt! Diane who does the weather normally, | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
just how easy was it? It was a lot easier than I thought it wotld be | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
but it wasn't the easiest job. It was definitely interesting. You | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
looked very professional, you weren't nervous? Not really because | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
I knew it was pre`recorded so we could make different ticks. It was | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
better at doing that rather than just going live because we could | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
stumble over the words. And actually, three of you have envy | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
after today because one of xou met somebody else. The others h`d gone | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
ahead and I was holding back and I met Ricky from the voice. It would | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
have to be a very high five with you! Has it whetted your appetite? I | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
do want to be on television but I'm not sure what type. I'd likd to be | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
an actress. I'd love to be ` reporter or something. It is just | :22:36. | :22:48. | |
really interesting. Well done, great work, girls. Well, | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
we've had lots of other school reporters out across the North West | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
today. You can see what thex've all been up to on the BBC School Report | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
website. There's an interactive map, so you can find out which schools | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
near you have been taking p`rt, click on the links and watch their | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
reports. If you want to see a professional do | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
the weather, turn to the Yorkshire programme! | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
I have never been so insultdd since the last time you sat there. It is | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
not for the dons, just slightly above a dunce! | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
What we can expect to see otr temperatures gradually starting to | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
rise. On this chart, the we`ther fronts dry away from Saturd`y | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
onwards, bringing us milder air and this as the chart you would like to | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
see what it they are being pushed out of the way and warmer conditions | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
coming through Saturday and Sunday in time for the weekend. Thhs has | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
been the picture today what the best of the weather around through the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
morning. Tomorrow was the bdst of the weather before lunchtimd and | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
through the afternoon, showdrs starting to build and push hn. We | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
have had hail and thunder and lightning reported which will | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
continue through this evening and overnight, and adds to that the cool | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
easterly breeze and temperatures could be a bit of an issue with | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
towns and cities looking at something like four Celsius. We are | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
the showers by away you could be down to one Celsius all over again | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
and being in mind a little bit of sleet and snow. Tomorrow, | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
of the weather first thing hn the morning and it might not look | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
wonderful through the isle of man but we will see the cloud cover | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
starting to break with brighter skies coming through. Until | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
lunchtime looks really quitd nice but they in mind the breeze is still | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
fairly cool. From lunchtime comes the next weather front marching over | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the Pennines. We cannot say quite where they will turn up but you re | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
never too far away from one, and the temperature is a bit of NSU but | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
through the weekend, 16 Celsius is a distinct | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
should she stay and work? Not unanimous! | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
Could a cul`de`sac in Standhsh be at the epicentre of the legend of King | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Arthur? Residents think it hs and hope it will help them fight any | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
plans to develop the area. They believe new research suggests King | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
Arthur's legendary court Calelot could have been on the site at the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
edge of the village. The cotncil has called their objections imaginative | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
and farfetched as Judy Hobson reports. | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
It's an unasuming cul de sac on the edge of Standish village, btt | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
Brookfield Road and its reshdents have found themselves at thd centre | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
of a debate about the legend of King Arthur. And it's got them into | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
almost every news paper in the country. They are fighting proposals | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
to develop the land at the dnd of the road And what better argument | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
the to claim this is where the King Arthur's Round Table could have | :26:10. | :26:23. | |
been. I think anything is possible and all myths and legends are based | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
on some facts or who knows? The residents say a book about `ncient | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
pathways suggests King Arthtr might have lived here. The author says | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
that's not quite what he me`nt. It was a bit surprising to be told that | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
I had discovered the true location of Camelot, a bit like saying you | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
have discovered where Hogwarts is. The source was a hasty revidw of the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
book. Wigan Council says a private developer has submitted plans for a | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
small estate road and have called the claims about Arthur far | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
fetched. But are they? It h`s long been thought that at this ndarby | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
beauty spot Sir Lancelot blte Excalibur. `` threw. The Calelot | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
theme park has now closed. So King Arthur probably didn't live here | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
because he probably didn't dxist but residents feel they have to believe | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
a white knight to come to their rescue. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
Anyone who has ever been on the big Debra knows that Camelot was just | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
off the M6. We have all enjoyed it and Phoebe has just realised this | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
show was live, which came as a shock! With your | :27:42. | :27:51. |
