northern England towards the Midlands. Further west, through | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Wales and the south-west, we could see eastern spells of sunshine. But | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
some lovely sunshine and some warmth potentially if the showers Es for a | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
time in the south-east. That could bring with it a new set of Robins. | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
We could see problems. The temperature is could rise, but that | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
means through the evening, we could see a cluster of heavy and possibly | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
thundery showers developing. As we move towards the weekend, the winds | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
will become more of a feature. Heavy showers, but at the same time, there | :00:52. | :01:06. | |
will also be sunny spells. this is a serious | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story: Dash for gas | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
` and coin`in the cash. The government says go ` but protesters | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
in Blackpool say no. Lancashire's urged to be the first to frack. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Also tonight: "He went to watch the team he loved, and came home in a | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
coffin." More emotional tributes at the Hillsborough Inquests. His life | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
was only just beginning. He didn't get the chance to fall in love, or | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
hold his own child in his arms. Farage on the offensive. The UKIP | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
leader has been on the campaign trail here. He'll join us live. He's | :01:48. | :02:02. | |
shaken everybody up. I think they're right about immigration. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
And a bargain too far? I'm at a Lancashire charity shop, whose | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
latest promotion hasn't gone down too well with one local resident. | :02:09. | :02:30. | |
"He went to watch the team he loved and came home in a coffin". They're | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
words of a woman who lost her 19`year`old brother at Hillsborough. | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
The Inquests in Warrington have been continuing to hear the stories of | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
some of the 96 people who died in the disaster 25 years ago. Our | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
reporter Elaine Dunkley has been there this morning. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Christopher Devonside was 18 when he was killed at Hillsborough. He'd | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
gone with ten friends. Three of them never returned home. He wanted to go | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
to university. He had good aspirations. Today his father Barry | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
told of the comfort he and his family felt at being able to tell | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
the world about the son they lost 25 years ago. It spoke volumes about | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
him and his life, his likes and dislikes, it all made a massive | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
difference to myself and my wife. This was the tribute paid to | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
19`year`old Paul Carlisle by his sister Donna Miller. Every Friday he | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
would come home with his favourite sweets. He used to tell his mother | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
that everybody would know his name. I will be famous and I will buy you | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
a house. Today, there were memories that made families laugh fondly, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
other memories that broke hearts. Ken Clarke spoke about his son Paul | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
` a good`natured boy with a good sense of humour. There were memories | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
of how he wanted a BMX bike for Christmas, a drum kit that woke the | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
neighbours a pet gold fish named Ian and Kenny after Ian Rush and Kenny | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Dalglish. His father said to this day all his friends meet together in | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the village on the 15th of April to remember him and lay flowers on his | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
grave. Tributes were also read out for Martin Wild, Anthony Kelly, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Joseph McCarthy, Stephen Harrison and Joseph McCarthy. The parents of | :04:15. | :04:26. | |
Jonathan Owen also spoke... They told me being able to remember so | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
many good memories has helped with their grief. It was very nice to do | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
it. I was honoured to do it. He was wonderful. | :04:38. | :04:55. | |
Police say they are worried about the number of young men travelling | :04:56. | :05:08. | |
to Syria. Nazia Mogra has spent the day with the Syrian community in | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Manchester. Rusholme in Manchester is home to a | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
large Syrian Community. From Shisha cafes to restaurants ` many come | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
here to relax. Maher and Husam are in their 20s ` young Syrians who | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
came here after the conflict started. I cannot tell you how | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
frustrated I am and how frustrated the Syrian community as. Is that my | :05:33. | :05:51. | |
be go to fight? Yes. Maher has lost a brother in Syria. Hasam works to | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
provide for his friends and family back home. Increasingly, hundreds of | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
young British Muslims are leaving home and going to fight. In January, | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Anil Khalil Raoufi from Didsbury, also known as Abu Layth, died while | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
fighting in Syria. In March, properties were searched in | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
Manchester and four people were arrested for travelling to and | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
supporting the conflict in Syria. One person was charged. And this is | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
why Greater Manchester Police, along with other forces, want families to | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
stop young Muslim men from going. What we know is that mothers and | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
sisters will be the people who recognise the signs and the changes | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
in behaviour. In terms of interesting things online, changes | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
in the conversation... These mothers were today learning Arabic at the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
British Muslim Heritage Centre. Many of them agree with the police. I | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
think it is very important for parents to know what their children | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
are up to. The police want Muslim mothers to speak out... Do you think | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
that will work? Mothers in the Muslim community would not usually | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
go to the police. Many believe there are other ways to help, such as by | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
giving to charities. Syria Relief, since the conflict began, has raised | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
?6 million. Rather than going and leaving your studies behind, putting | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
your life and risk, you can stay here and do fundraising. For young | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Syrians in Manchester the reality of what's happening in their home | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
country is still hard to believe. Hasam rings his family every day, | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
worried about their safety. Maher doesn't know when he'll next talk to | :07:38. | :07:49. | |
his family. A popular Lancashire pub has been | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
severely damaged by a fire. The blaze broke out at the Dressers Arms | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
at Wheelton near Chorley at 5:30am this morning. At its height, 50 | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
firefighters were at the scene. Water was pumped from the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Leeds`Liverpool canal half a mile away to fight the flames. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
The Coronation Street actress Barbara Knox has appeared in court | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
accused of drink driving. She pleaded not guilty to one charge at | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Macclesfield Magistrates this morning. The 80`year`old ` who plays | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Rita Tanner in the ITV soap ` was released on unconditional bail and | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
will face trial in July. Some museums and art galleries | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
across Liverpool and Wirral have been closed today, as plans about | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
possible redundancies and budget cuts were laid out to staff. Funding | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
for National Museums Liverpool has been cut by 28% since 2010. | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
Latest figures show crime has gone up on Merseyside for the first time | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
in eight years. It rose by just over 1% last year ` with shoplifting | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
going up by 16% and violence causing injury by 10%. Crime also rose by 1% | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
in Cumbria ` where violence against the person increased by 8%. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
Greater Manchester Police have seized 31 vehicles as part of their | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
biggest ever operation to take criminals off the road. `` 43 | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
vehicles. More than 200 officers were involved, targeting people who | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
haven't paid for insurance or road tax, or who don't have a driving | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
licence. Officers used automatic number plate recognition technology | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
to spot offenders. They made eight arrests. `` 11 arrests. | :09:14. | :09:23. | |
Protestors held a demonstration in Blackpool today at a conference | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
designed to highlight the economic benefits of fracking. The body which | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
represents shale gas firms says it could create 64,000 jobs ` and | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
provide a ?33 billion boost to the nation's economy. But the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
government's warned that those jobs could go to foreign workers if towns | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
like Blackpool don't invest in the necessary skills. Naomi Cornwell | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
reports. Get ready for fracking. That was the message from the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
government to the 400 North West businessmen who were invited to this | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
meeting today. Tests have already been carried out by several | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
companies interested in drilling. The UK onshore operators group | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
claims that drilling for thousands wells for shale gas could create | :10:08. | :10:17. | |
64,000 jobs across the UK. It sounds like Blackpool do not embrace | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
fracking, they could miss out on billions of pounds of investment. We | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
know from the United States at this became a huge industry in avoiding | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
thousands of people. `` employing. I think there are going to be | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
clusters, you have seen what has happened in Aberdeen with the North | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
Sea oil. This is a chance for Blackpool or Preston to beat the of | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
a new industry. `` be at. It is a massive investment. It would be | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
lovely to fill rooms. But as he Blackpool residents, I could not | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
dream of living anywhere else. The fact that it could be a catalyst for | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
regeneration is a benefit. But protesters do not believe the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
claims. What effect will this have on tourism and agriculture? This is | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
something that will not be shared. What are our existing businesses... | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Job prospects... For how long? This is a short`term industry. It is not | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
a proven resource. So who will be the first to take the gamble? Our | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
towns and businesses will have to challenge the public image of | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
fracking if they are to get gas. Judy, how significant is this | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
announcement for the North West? This is the government telling | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
Lancashire to get ready for fracking. It's saying this industry | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
is worth billions, so be prepared for work on building businesses and | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
training people for the jobs needed or you will miss out. It's also a | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
message ` the government is saying we believe fracking will happen. Two | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
more years of exploring for the shale gas, then extraction could | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
start. But it's not as clear cut as it seems. We know we are sitting on | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
a lot of shale gas, we still don't know for definite that we can get it | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
out of the ground. The other big issue is public opinion. There are a | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
lot of people locally and nationally who do not want this industry. The | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
government says permits to carry out fracking will be made at a local, it | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
will compensate local communities, we will regulate it so it is safe. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
But that doesn't seem to be working ` it will have to work hard to win | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
people over, and they are a long way from doing that. | :13:00. | :13:00. | |
Thank you. Due to technical issues, we will be | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
talking to someone who had an interest in this report shortly. | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Still to come on North West Tonight: Training for Everest ` the woman | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
from Cleveleys taking on the toughest marathon of all. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
And not posh enough for Penwortham. The charity shop whose cheap jeans | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
have upset one of the neighbours. The leader of the UK Independence | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
party, Nigel Farage, has been in the earlier today. It is the latest in | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
the series of interviews with party leaders. We had David Cameron a fuel | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
cycle. `` a few weeks ago. Nigel Farage joins us now. Let's talk | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
about why you are here. The European elections are coming up. Local | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
elections as well. We'll do you think UKIP will get the votes from? | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
Across the. So much we hear about politics comes from the Westminster | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
bought. That is always the assumption that UKIP is a sub party. | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
The have been many by`elections and we have scored as many as 25% of the | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
poll. We are getting quite a chunk of votes from all Labour voters. | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
Also people who are nonvoters. Four European elections the time`out is | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
usually 35%. `` turn out. We do not want people to stay at home. You are | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
after the Labour voters. But you really get them? Labour gained in | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
the share of the votes, so although you came second you were getting | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
Labour voters? With a low turnout, and the postal voting time`out | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
system that is open to abuse, we were digging hard into the Labour | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
vote. The European elections are exactly a month from today. UKIP is | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
on 33% of the vote. Something is happening. What is more important? | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
European elections or local elections? Our local MP said that | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
the local elections are more important. We will do both. But | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
clearly I have come on the programme to talk about the National Lodge. `` | :15:45. | :15:54. | |
national launch. Nominations close at 4pm today and we are fighting for | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
lots of seats in the north`west of England. We feel that what we have | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
to say is relevant to local government. Even on a big national | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
issue like immigration, that affects every council. I know you are going | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
to ask me about fracking. We have been asking some people about UKIP | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
and what they think. Let's have a listen. I think he's shaken | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
everybody up. It's good in that he's shaken the other major parties up. | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
That's a good thing. Immigration... Europe... I'm definitely for it. I | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
think they're right about immigration. There are only so many | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
people who can fit in the country. We can't get many more in. When | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
you're stood in a doctor's queue, and there are a lot of immigration | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
people in front of you, it's hard to take. I haven't got the answers ` | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
we've got to get to grips with it. We've got to be open`minded. Are | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
UKIP the answer? Absolutely, categorically not! You would not | :17:02. | :17:13. | |
have expected him to say that. You bring to these places, this is | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
George Osborne's constituency. We get lots of voters. Tory. Lib Dems. | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
But it was irresistible not to go into George Osborne's constituency. | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
You have got to make inroads. You have no elected representative apart | :17:38. | :17:46. | |
from Paul Nuttal. Our development has been slower in the north and the | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
South East. We came ever so close. But you cannot always be the | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
bridesmaid? These elections are a make or break moment. Let's talk | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
about fracking. We have done a lot of stories. People feel very | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
strongly. UKIP are in favour, is that correct? We have been | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
completely opposed to the wind energy project. It leads to | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
massively increase bills. That has not been that people at home are | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
paying higher bills but the whole industry is leading this country. It | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
is going to India. I want Britain to be self`sufficient. I want our | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
factories to compete with America and India and China. Is it helpful | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
that your energy spokesman called people who are anti`fracking | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
eco`freaks? That are extremes on both sides of the argument. But many | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
people... I know the public are concerned. | :19:10. | :19:35. | |
pounds. One more question about one of your members who has been | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
suspended for making racist comments on social media. He was featured in | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
one of your campaigns. You have had to fight off accusations this week | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
that your campaign posters are racist. This must make your heart | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
sank? `` sink? sea level. Within a couple of | :19:48. | :21:17. | |
kilometres, we go across the glacier. There are lots of difficult | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
parts. Andrea spends most of her time working in the French Alps. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
She's one of a group of British women based in Chamonix who will be | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
doing the marathon ` an event so difficult only around 20 | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
non`Nepalese runners will take part. There are only 100 people, so with | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
the seven of us we're almost taking up 10%! It's more than 60 years | :21:38. | :21:49. | |
since the mountain was conquered. Climbing it remains a dangerous | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
business. Last week, 13 guides died in an avalanche. Will it give you | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
any sleepless nights? It does, but it's going to be an adventure and so | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
much fun. I guess training along here at the pier is no good from an | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
altitude point of view but it can be cold! Yes! And windy! I love running | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
along the beach! It's picturesque. But after ten hours of running on | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Everest, how picturesque it is will be the last thing on Andrea's mind. | :22:23. | :22:41. | |
Nigel Farage said as he left, you must be mad. | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
Most of us love a bargain. And where better to pick one up than your | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
local charity shop? But try telling that to one very angry resident in | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Lancashire. Yes he ` or she ` has written an anonymous letter to the | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
latest charity shop to open in Penwortham accusing it of knocking | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
thousands of pounds off the value of their home. The shop put the letter | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
on the internet ` and it's now gone viral. Abbie Jones reports. | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
Business has been brisk since the Integrate Charity Shop opened. It | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
supports adults with learning disabilities. On the rails are | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
hundreds of items with knock`down prices. But this promotion has | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
proved a bargain too far for one local resident. Yesterday this | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
letter was pushed through the letterbox. It's unsigned, there's no | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
address... But the author isn't happy. It calls the shop sign | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
'tatty'. But it's the jeans for ?1.50 that's really got the author's | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
goat. The letter says the advert has reduced the value of their house by | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
several thousand pounds. It puts the whole tone of the area in jeopardy, | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
and they're threatening to write to the council. We can't see that by | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
opening a shop we're lowering the prices of property or causing any | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
undesirables to visit. We're trying to provide good value and support | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
the work the charity does! If they'd rather have an empty shop here... | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
And not give people with learning disabilities or mental health | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
problems the opportunity... Integrate put the letter on | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Facebook. It's been viewed over 25,000 times. I think it's | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
ridiculous. Out of order. The shop is immaculate. It's revolting. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Disgusting how people can say that about a charity. We couldn't find | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
the anonymous letter writer but some people did have some sympathy. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Unfortunately all the shops you need around here are going and it's just | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
charities now. A sign for jeans for ?1.50. No. The sign is being changed | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
but the shop is here to stay. And bad news for the letter writer... So | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
are its promotions. They have got all of this site is | :25:01. | :25:13. | |
and everything! `` the sizes! What are you saying about my hips!? | :25:14. | :25:26. | |
Good evening. Not a bad day. Many places saw temperatures around 16 | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
degrees. As you head through the next few days, the our changes. `` | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
there are changes. Tomorrow the weather comes from the east. This is | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
the picture for the weekend. There will be some brighter skies on | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
Saturday afternoon. We are at the mercy of low pressure. The sunshine | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
has been around and the showers have been relatively limited. Still one | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
or two out and about so you might bump into one over the next few | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
hours. But the quiet picture, really. `` a quiet picture. Once | :26:18. | :26:26. | |
again the winds are late. That could be a pocket of mist in places | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
tomorrow. Temperatures are really good. Five and six for towns and | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
cities. Tomorrow, the weather is coming from the East and eventually | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
you may see some of the best. We all wake up with the client not get | :26:46. | :26:57. | |
friends and brakes. `` the cloud and it thins and breaks. By this time | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
tomorrow it will be in more places including the isle of man. The | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
closer you are to the coast, a reasonable day. Temperatures are not | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
so bad. 13 or 14. Back to you. Thank you. | :27:16. | :27:25. | |
