:00:00. > :00:12.If Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Thffin and
:00:13. > :00:15.Roger Johnson. Our top storx. Why were police statements into the
:00:16. > :00:18.Hillsborough disaster changdd? A coroner says the inquest jury needs
:00:19. > :00:28.to decide. We're live in Warrington tonight. Also in tonight's
:00:29. > :00:33.programme. The Prime Ministdr's in the region to tell us about new tax
:00:34. > :00:36.rates. We'll be talking to him live in a few minutes. What they'll all
:00:37. > :00:40.be racing for in the Grand National at Aintree. A North West Tonight
:00:41. > :00:43.exclusive, as we reveal the new trophy later in the programle. And
:00:44. > :00:45.bringing a glow to the Wintdr Gardens. Chinese artists crdate the
:00:46. > :01:05.world's biggest indoor illulinations in Blackpool. The Coroner at the new
:01:06. > :01:08.Hillsborough inquests has told the jury they'll have to considdr
:01:09. > :01:11.whether statements were changed to blame the fans and deflect criticism
:01:12. > :01:14.from the police. Lord Justice Goldring's comments came as he
:01:15. > :01:17.finished his opening remarks. He told the jury they must fully,
:01:18. > :01:21.fairly and fearlessly inquire into the deaths of the 96 Liverpool fans
:01:22. > :01:28.who died in 1989. Our Mersexside Reporter, Andy Gill, joins ts from
:01:29. > :01:33.the Coroner's Court in Warrhngton. What did the caller say abott the
:01:34. > :01:38.police statements? He said ` number of South Yorkshire police statements
:01:39. > :01:42.had been amended, sometimes to take criticism of police leadership,
:01:43. > :01:47.sometimes to Degas could thhs is fans, and he said the jury should
:01:48. > :01:50.ask why the amendment was m`de, was it made for innocent and
:01:51. > :01:53.understandable reasons, or was it part of a policy of blaming fans in
:01:54. > :01:58.order to deflect criticism from the police? He said, do the amendments
:01:59. > :02:06.throw any light on that crucial question, how those who died came to
:02:07. > :02:12.do so? Did the coroner say that the jury should think about it? He gave
:02:13. > :02:18.them six key areas to think about, the layout of Hillsborough hn 1 89,
:02:19. > :02:26.control the crowd in pens three and four, management of fans outside the
:02:27. > :02:30.Leppings Lane end, and management of fans inside, and the emergency
:02:31. > :02:37.response, and the conduct of fans, excluding those who died. Hd said
:02:38. > :02:44.this would ask whether dangdr could have been averted and, if so, by
:02:45. > :02:50.whom. We spoke to Brenda Fox from Whitchurch in immoral, whosd son
:02:51. > :02:52.Steve, 21, died at Hillsborough It is something we have lived with for
:02:53. > :03:01.so long, so it was not It was just what actually h`ppened.
:03:02. > :03:10.We are here to get the truth. And hopefully we will get the truth
:03:11. > :03:14.Another aspect the coroner looked at was the 3:15pm cut`off use that the
:03:15. > :03:18.original inquest in Sheffield. The coroner decided he should look at
:03:19. > :03:22.evidence about what happened after that time because he thought
:03:23. > :03:27.everybody would be dead or dying by that time, but the coroner here
:03:28. > :03:31.today said, from the start, it was a controversial decision which many of
:03:32. > :03:34.the bereaved families strongly disputed. He said, we shall not
:03:35. > :03:39.follow that course. The inqtest resumes tomorrow, with personal
:03:40. > :03:59.portraits, by relatives, of those who died.
:04:00. > :04:06.Liverpool's mayor and a leave of Sefton council did not take part in
:04:07. > :04:10.about two elect the chair and vice`chair because they are Truman
:04:11. > :04:12.is late. The squabbling has been gone on ever since and therd was a
:04:13. > :04:16.worry that it is damaging the region. The Liverpool City Region
:04:17. > :04:19.Combined Authority ` its cabinet, the leaders of Liverpool, Sdfton,
:04:20. > :04:22.Wirral, Knowsley, St Helens and Halton councils. It's only two days
:04:23. > :04:29.old ` already a row over thd election of its leader.
:04:30. > :04:33.council leaders met in this building in central
:04:34. > :04:36.morning at ten o'clock. Shortly afterwards, Meir Anderson and the
:04:37. > :04:39.leader of Sefton Kelsall left that meeting to stop when they rdturned,
:04:40. > :04:43.they found that Phil Davies of the Wirral had been elected leader of
:04:44. > :04:47.the Wirral `` Liverpool combined authority. In a leaked e`mahl, Mayor
:04:48. > :04:49.Anderson says the four leaddrs presently consider him "too big a
:04:50. > :04:54.personality" and "Liverpool too strong". He went on to say they ve
:04:55. > :05:00.engaged in "Toytown level politics". But have they covered themsdlves in
:05:01. > :05:05.glory? It is clearly going to be seen as HR dish spat. That hs how it
:05:06. > :05:12.looks to everybody. And the news will have reached the desk of Eric
:05:13. > :05:14.Pickles, the Secretary of State The combined authority has powers
:05:15. > :05:18.potentially billions of pounds worth of investment. Business is
:05:19. > :05:21.concerned. As a business, you would be saying, you need to fix this and
:05:22. > :05:26.properly, and that is what they need to do. Greater Manchester's
:05:27. > :05:29.equivalent has scored huge successes with the Metrolink tram system and
:05:30. > :05:34.the development of Manchestdr Airport. All ten leaders, wherever
:05:35. > :05:38.they come from, whichever p`rty want to do better in terms of
:05:39. > :05:41.getting new jobs, opportunities and industries coming into Manchester
:05:42. > :05:46.and we decided to work together to do that. Mayor Anderson's e`mail
:05:47. > :05:52.says he's seeking legal advhce. But that might be in vain. Therd was
:05:53. > :05:56.clearly a majority in the room, quarterback people voted for someone
:05:57. > :06:05.else to be chair, so the decision made, under the legislation, is
:06:06. > :06:08.valid. A soldier from Salford ` charged with terrorism and
:06:09. > :06:11.explosives offences ` has appeared in court for the first time. Ryan
:06:12. > :06:14.McGee was serving with the fifth Battalion the Rifles when hd was
:06:15. > :06:17.arrested in December. It followed the discovery of a suspiciots device
:06:18. > :06:21.at an address in Patricroft. The 19`year`old was bailed on the
:06:22. > :06:25.condition he stays at an Arly base. He'll appear at the Old Bailey next
:06:26. > :06:29.month. Tributes have been p`id to a 12`year`old boy found hanged at his
:06:30. > :06:33.home in Eccles. Police say they were called to a house on Boardm`n Street
:06:34. > :06:36.yesterday afternoon. Kyle D`rker's death is not being treated `s
:06:37. > :06:43.suspicious. A spokesperson from his school says their thoughts `re with
:06:44. > :06:49.Kyle's family. Good news for passengers on one of the regions
:06:50. > :06:52.most crowded rail services. Northern Rail has announced it's takhng
:06:53. > :06:54.delivery of 14 new electric trains on the Liverpool`Manchester route
:06:55. > :06:58.from December. They'll provhde an additional 3,000 seats at pdak times
:06:59. > :07:01.on the newly electrified rotte. That will release diesel units for use on
:07:02. > :07:10.the routes from Manchester to Bolton and East Lancashire. The local and
:07:11. > :07:17.European elections are next month and ` in the weeks before polling.
:07:18. > :07:21.We'll be talking to all the main party leaders as they attempt to win
:07:22. > :07:24.over voters here in the North West. Tonight we begin with the Prime
:07:25. > :07:27.Minister David Cameron. He's been in the region this afternoon t`lking
:07:28. > :07:31.about changes to the lower rate of income tax. And he's here now. Good
:07:32. > :07:37.evening. Talking about a cut in the number of people paying the lower
:07:38. > :07:42.rate of income tax. We're used to cuts in this part of the world. How
:07:43. > :07:46.many people are we talking `bout? From Sunday, you will not p`y any
:07:47. > :07:51.tax on the first ?10,000 th`t you are on. That takes the millhon
:07:52. > :07:54.people out of income tax since this government came to office and give
:07:55. > :07:58.them a tax cut of ?700 to everyone apart from the very highest earners
:07:59. > :08:02.in the country. It is a verx positive move to leave more people
:08:03. > :08:06.with more of their own monex to spend as they choose, and if you
:08:07. > :08:09.think of someone on minimum wage, they are income tax bill will come
:08:10. > :08:16.down by two thirds, under this government. It is 37 more in this
:08:17. > :08:19.region, taking the number to 34 ,000 people who will not pay income tax,
:08:20. > :08:25.which many people would applaud but the other way of looking at that is,
:08:26. > :08:33.that is upwards of 300,000 people, who do not earn upwards of ?10, 00 a
:08:34. > :08:37.year. We want to see more pdople working. Unemployment is falling. We
:08:38. > :08:43.have got thousands more people in work since I became prime mhnister.
:08:44. > :08:46.Unemployment is down. The claimant count, the numbers claiming
:08:47. > :08:50.unemployment benefit, has f`llen sharply in the north`west. The
:08:51. > :08:57.north`west has the same unelployment rate as London. We are making
:08:58. > :09:02.progress but there is more to do. There was a lot more work to be
:09:03. > :09:07.done. You compare the north`west in London. That might be the only thing
:09:08. > :09:10.that we are equal the London on There is a view that whilst London
:09:11. > :09:14.is recovering and booming and house prices are going through thd roof,
:09:15. > :09:19.in the regions, particularlx this one, we are getting left behind How
:09:20. > :09:23.do you address that? We havd to help us this except succeed and to take
:09:24. > :09:29.on more people `` we have to help businesses succeed. We are helping
:09:30. > :09:33.small businesses by saying that they get ?2000 off the national hnsurance
:09:34. > :09:37.bill. That is coming in this week. And we are seeing, I believd, a more
:09:38. > :09:43.balanced recovery than in the past. The deployment rate is the same in
:09:44. > :09:47.the north`west as in London, which tells the story that we havd growth
:09:48. > :09:48.in every region of the country. We are making investments into
:09:49. > :09:53.transport infrastructure to make sure that the north`west is not left
:09:54. > :10:02.hind. The Institute of Publhc policy research, it says that, in the
:10:03. > :10:07.North, ?104 per head is spent on transport infrastructure. In London,
:10:08. > :10:16.it is ?1600 bed. That is a lassive disparity. `` ?1600 per head. We are
:10:17. > :10:22.electrifying the trans`Pennhne route, we are investing in the
:10:23. > :10:26.northern hard, the decision about the trains serving Bourton was made
:10:27. > :10:31.because of action we are taking We have big road investments, the
:10:32. > :10:33.Heysham Link Road, improvemdnts to the M1 and the A1, all of which will
:10:34. > :10:42.make a about money that is being invested
:10:43. > :10:47.in London. We are talking about crossrail in London, which hs the
:10:48. > :10:57.biggest infrastructure projdct in Europe, so that'll stew the figures.
:10:58. > :11:03.` skew. And we have HS2, whhch is going to get to the north`wdst
:11:04. > :11:08.quicker. It will just make London more of a draw for the rest of the
:11:09. > :11:12.country and will suck more hnto itself. It means that Birmingham,
:11:13. > :11:16.Manchester and London will be connected our way that makes journey
:11:17. > :11:21.times faster and increases capacity as well as driving the industrial
:11:22. > :11:25.renaissance that I want to see, I want to see more manufacturhng,
:11:26. > :11:30.investment and exporting. The budget was all about that, making sure that
:11:31. > :11:34.businesses in the north`west get the capital allowance to invest in the
:11:35. > :11:42.future. You talked about fr`cking last time. Greater Manchestdr police
:11:43. > :11:46.say has cost them ?1.5 millhon the police the Barton Moss procdss.
:11:47. > :11:50.Their budget, like all police budget has been cut since the ther`py
:11:51. > :11:58.budget gaming. Will you help, will you contribute? `` budget c`me in.
:11:59. > :12:02.Greater Manchester police h`ve seen a budget cut but have delivdred a
:12:03. > :12:04.massive cut in crime, 20%, since this government came to powdr. I
:12:05. > :12:10.would argue that we should be would argue that we
:12:11. > :12:14.saying, the point is, let's praise them for
:12:15. > :12:17.while having the budget redtced We should not measure public sdrvices
:12:18. > :12:24.by how much we spend on thel, but on how good they are. We should
:12:25. > :12:28.certainly look at it, because I think this is vital for this
:12:29. > :12:33.country. We have been talking about a balanced recovery. In America you
:12:34. > :12:37.see companies going back thdre and manufacturing there and invdsting
:12:38. > :12:43.and growing, because they h`ve got unconventional gas, and lowdr gas
:12:44. > :12:52.prices. I want us to be, in Britain, the reshore nation, where vhsitors
:12:53. > :12:59.come back to invest here. M`rk Menzies, the MP for Fylde, can you
:13:00. > :13:02.tell us about his future after the personal revelations about them at
:13:03. > :13:08.the weekend? He has been a very hard`working MP. He said sole of the
:13:09. > :13:11.allegations are not true, and he wants to set out in his own time the
:13:12. > :13:16.answer to these allegations, and I think that we should give hhm a
:13:17. > :13:19.chance to do that. Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage are debating Etrope on
:13:20. > :13:25.another channel. Why are yot not taking part? I take part in debates
:13:26. > :13:32.every week in the House of Commons and I am having a debate right here
:13:33. > :13:36.and now. Will you commit to leaders debate before the general election?
:13:37. > :13:44.You prime minister. You can make it happen. I want to see them happen. I
:13:45. > :13:48.think it should happen. I thought, last time, having the debatds in the
:13:49. > :13:52.election campaign took the rest of the life out of the campaign. With a
:13:53. > :13:58.fixed term parliament, becale get started a bit earlier. So it could
:13:59. > :14:07.happen soon? I would like to happen before the election starts.

:14:20. > :14:28.this Manx romantic to pop the question.
:14:29. > :14:32.Sophie Lancaster's senseless death shocked and sickened the Lancashire
:14:33. > :14:36.community where she lived. She was beaten to death simply becatse of
:14:37. > :14:44.the way she chose to dress. Seven years on her mother is camp`igning
:14:45. > :14:47.to stop it happening to othdrs. And today Sylvia Lancaster was `t he
:14:48. > :14:51.daughter's former school to spread the word there ` just as a new book
:14:52. > :14:53.linked to the murder was also launched. Our Chief Reporter, Dave
:14:54. > :14:57.Guest, has more. Sophie Lancaster was beaten to death for darhng to be
:14:58. > :15:00.different. A group of teenagers attacked her and her boyfridnd in a
:15:01. > :15:07.Lancashire park because thex were dressed as goths. They had Rob on
:15:08. > :15:14.the floor, jumping and stamping on his head. Sylvia Lancaster
:15:15. > :15:17.daughter's death many times through her work with the Sophie Lancaster
:15:18. > :15:27.Foundation, which campaigns against hate crime. Trainer marks on both
:15:28. > :15:30.sides of her face. But this audience was special, because this is
:15:31. > :15:34.Haslingden High where Sophid was a pupil. One of the great ple`sures
:15:35. > :15:40.has been talking to a teachdr who taught Sophie. People did not
:15:41. > :15:50.realise that she had a very quirky, wicked sense of humour. Tod`y also
:15:51. > :15:55.saw the launch of a new novdl based on Sophie's murder. It was ` story
:15:56. > :16:04.that had to be told. In the book, the victim is called Rosie. But this
:16:05. > :16:09.is Sophie's story. I cuddled her, and she was gone, gone for dver
:16:10. > :16:13.This bench is dedicated to the memory of Sophie Lancaster, but to
:16:14. > :16:17.her family, keeping the namd alive is about more than simply inscribing
:16:18. > :16:23.on some luck, it is about inspiring change, it is about ensuring that
:16:24. > :16:32.others never have to suffer the way that she did. `` on some
:16:33. > :16:37.Richard's here with the sport now. Manchester United fans will be
:16:38. > :16:40.feeling a bit better after last night's draw against Bayern Munich
:16:41. > :16:42.in the Champions League. Yes, United battled very hard for a 1`1 draw at
:16:43. > :16:48.Old for the second leg of the qtarter
:16:49. > :16:52.final in Germany next week. They did it on a little more than a puarter
:16:53. > :16:54.of the possession, so it was a real backs`against`the`wall performance.
:16:55. > :16:58.But they were well organised and looked as though they may wdll shut
:16:59. > :17:01.the European Champions out `fter the Reds took the lead through Nemanja
:17:02. > :17:04.Vidic. Great header from thd skipper. But Bastian Schweinsteiger,
:17:05. > :17:07.who was later sent off, scored a crucial away goal for the Gdrmans.
:17:08. > :17:11.This was the reaction of sole United fans after the game. I would take a
:17:12. > :17:15.1`1 draw at the moment. It could have been worse. Tonight was the
:17:16. > :17:18.first night that David Moyes proved themselves as a manager. An all
:17:19. > :17:26.right performance with commhtment and energy. Vidic scored!
:17:27. > :17:33.And they did go on as the underdogs, which is unusual for Manchester
:17:34. > :17:40.United. How important a restlt was this for David Moyes? I think it was
:17:41. > :17:44.significant. Tactically, many observers thought he got it spot`on
:17:45. > :17:52.against a team who, man for man are better
:17:53. > :17:55.In the Championship, fifth`placed Wigan came close to ending
:17:56. > :18:00.Leicester's19`match undefeated run but conceded a late equalisdr for a
:18:01. > :18:03.2`2 draw. The Latics' opener came when Jordi Gomez crossed to Ivan
:18:04. > :18:06.Ramis for this header but the visitors equalised just minttes
:18:07. > :18:09.later. In the second half, Gomez's corner allowed Rob Kiernan to make
:18:10. > :18:11.it 2`1. But Wigan's hopes of a crucial win ended when Dean Hammond
:18:12. > :18:29.equalised in 87th minute. Aintree Festival ` culminathng in

:21:34. > :21:38.her to take a look. It is c`mera, action and lights. For Blackpool
:21:39. > :21:43.Tower switch on, like no other. With 35,000 lights, the wonders of the
:21:44. > :21:46.world have been recreated. Tower Bridge is majestic on the shde of
:21:47. > :21:56.the room. We have the leaning Tower of these here. `` Pisa. 27 tonnes of
:21:57. > :22:04.steel sounds like a lot, but when you see the effect of 35,000 LEDs it
:22:05. > :22:10.is an incredible thing. The team have travelled to the shares one
:22:11. > :22:28.province of trying `` of Chhna. `` the shares one province of China. ``
:22:29. > :22:33.Sezchuan Province. This is our very first time building the Blackpool
:22:34. > :22:40.Tower. For me, we constantlx walk by it, so we see the similarithes.
:22:41. > :22:45.Blackpool is very special. Xou are very famous for the eliminations.
:22:46. > :22:50.This is almost the perfect city for us to visit with an attracthon like
:22:51. > :22:54.this. For the visitors, this will be a trip to
:22:55. > :23:05.It is lovely, isn't it? Anyone on of Blackpool's brightest
:23:06. > :23:09.It is lovely, isn't it? Anyone on the Isle of Man who doesn't have sea
:23:10. > :23:12.legs got the prefect chance to visit one of the island's landmarks last
:23:13. > :23:15.night, which is usually onlx accessible by boat. Thousands of
:23:16. > :23:19.people took the rare chance to walk out to the Tower of Refuge hn
:23:20. > :23:23.Douglas Bay. The tide means there are only a few days a year where
:23:24. > :23:29.it's shallow enough to walk across to it. The inside is closed to the
:23:30. > :23:32.public but one man arranged access, to ask his girlfriend a verx special
:23:33. > :23:37.question. Kelly Foran was there to see the moment. A sea of people
:23:38. > :23:40.This stretch of beach usually under water, but the tide is low dnough
:23:41. > :23:43.just twice a year to get right up to the iconic Tower of Refuge. Families
:23:44. > :23:52.and some four`legged friends took advantage. I am 50 this year. It is
:23:53. > :23:57.the first time I have ever done it. But it is off the list now, so we
:23:58. > :24:03.will not do it again. I found it to be really fun looking round although
:24:04. > :24:11.I fell into a puddle. It was a great experience. A good opportunhty to
:24:12. > :24:15.have a look. It was built in 18 2 by the founder of the RNLI, Sir William
:24:16. > :24:18.Hillary. A statue of him ovdrlooks the tower in Douglas Bay. Hd decided
:24:19. > :24:27.something needed to be done, as vessels kept getting dangerously
:24:28. > :24:29.shipwrecked on the rocks. Inside the tower is close to the public but an
:24:30. > :24:38.exception was made to allow this to happen. If you didn't catch it, that
:24:39. > :24:54.was a yes, by the way. It sdemed like an appropriate time. It was a
:24:55. > :24:58.big surprise, a big surprisd. People should not to attempt the w`lk alone
:24:59. > :25:02.as The tides can catch you out if you're not careful, on Mond`y night
:25:03. > :25:04.two people had to be rescued by lifeboat after becoming str`nded by
:25:05. > :25:07.the Tower. The tide turns qtickly. Because it is a shallow beach, the
:25:08. > :25:10.tide does coming quickly, so before you know where you are, you are
:25:11. > :25:13.stuck. This is the only org`nised walk to the tower, if you mhssed
:25:14. > :25:24.out, you'll have to wait another year. That looks like great fun You
:25:25. > :25:30.would not want to slip, would you? Will I need that winter coat on
:25:31. > :25:32.Friday for Aintree? You could be crazy not to wear one, but xou might
:25:33. > :25:43.be the only one who is wearhng one. Not much of the day`to`day. We had a
:25:44. > :25:49.weather front that moved across the region, out into the Irish Sea, and
:25:50. > :25:51.then back in again. It has plagued many other places as well through
:25:52. > :25:59.the afternoon. It has not bden a brilliant day. Those showers are
:26:00. > :26:01.around even now and will continue at the next few hours. As the night
:26:02. > :26:05.progresses they will start to move north and die away. It will take
:26:06. > :26:11.until midnight before many places are completely dry. It is a mild
:26:12. > :26:15.night. Heading to the early hours of the morning, we have a break
:26:16. > :26:20.developing in the cloud covdr, which might give us some missed, but even
:26:21. > :26:26.really, temperatures will bd around five Celsius. And around evdn 1
:26:27. > :26:29.Celsius in towns and cities. The best of the weather tomorrow will be
:26:30. > :26:37.first thing in the morning, and even then, it is worth noting moderate
:26:38. > :26:42.`high air pollution. The conditions and weather might change, so the
:26:43. > :26:47.showers could see that drop, but it is worth noting that it is
:26:48. > :26:51.moderate`high in places. First thing in the morning, some cloud breaks
:26:52. > :26:55.developing, but after lunch, that cloud rolling back on in ag`in, with
:26:56. > :27:01.more showers moving in across the region. It might not be widdspread,
:27:02. > :27:12.and a good dodge those showdrs, but it is still relatively mild. High
:27:13. > :27:17.temperatures of 15 Celsius. Now how about this for a dramatic rdscue
:27:18. > :27:20.operation? It took ten officers from Greater Manchester fire and rescue
:27:21. > :27:24.service, but was well worth it ` after they pulled a one eyed horse
:27:25. > :27:26.from the River Irwell. I'm not sure if the fact that the horse only had
:27:27. > :27:32.one I was relevant. `` 21`year`old Ruby, lost her footing
:27:33. > :27:36.and fell into the river in Radcliffe. Luckily after a two hour
:27:37. > :27:39.ordeal, the mare was safely back on dry land. That is not an easy job,
:27:40. > :27:41.getting a horse out of a river. And she is 21. That's all for now. Good
:27:42. > :27:43.night.
