:03:02. > :03:05.Liverpool fans have always dusted ourselves down and we will come back
:03:06. > :03:07.next year for more. That is why Liverpool Football Club is so
:03:08. > :03:11.special. We finished behind Manchester City who have spent a lot
:03:12. > :03:15.of money. We don't have that money. Next season we are building a team
:03:16. > :03:20.and they're going to be some team. There you go, plenty of optimism.
:03:21. > :03:29.Next season is the target. Can they go on and win the league? We will
:03:30. > :03:32.wait and see. A 29`year`old man has been charged

:03:47. > :03:49.Police have confirmed that a fire that killed a woman and young child
:03:50. > :03:52.in Liverpool was started deliberately. Jamna Joshi and her
:03:53. > :03:58.son Moksha Jai Joshi died at their home in Tuebrook on Thursday.
:03:59. > :04:02.An iconic piece of World War II history was ferried across the
:04:03. > :04:04.Mersey to Liverpool earlier today. The Millin`Montgomery Bagpipes were
:04:05. > :04:08.played on Sword beach during the D`day landings. They're touring
:04:09. > :04:11.Britain ahead of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings
:04:12. > :04:16.next month. The pipes were welcomed to the Pier Head by veterans of the
:04:17. > :04:20.campaign and their relatives. It's not so much a celebration, it
:04:21. > :04:27.really is remembering the people who took part and didn't come back which
:04:28. > :04:41.is the most important thing. To see the young people so interested in
:04:42. > :04:44.the old fogies is amazing, really. Super League, and Jon Wilkin scored
:04:45. > :04:50.twice as St Helens thrashed Bradford Bulls 50`0, leaving Saints second in
:04:51. > :04:55.the table. Here's the weather with Sara
:04:56. > :04:59.Blizzard. Good evening. It has been a wet day today and a windy one.
:05:00. > :05:03.There were heavy showers and they will continue for the next couple of
:05:04. > :05:07.days. In between there will be a little bit of sunshine and there is
:05:08. > :05:09.some good news towards the end of the week. We'll see some
:05:10. > :05:12.high`pressure building so settling us down nicely and temperatures warm
:05:13. > :05:15.at times. Those showers will continue into the early hours
:05:16. > :05:18.tonight. They might diminish a little bit across Greater Manchester
:05:19. > :05:21.and the night`time temperatures will drop down to a minimum of eight
:05:22. > :05:24.Celsius. Still quite blustery overnight but the wind easing
:05:25. > :05:27.tomorrow and it will have a negative factor because showers developing
:05:28. > :05:30.through the day will become heavy. They will be slow`moving as well so
:05:31. > :05:35.some difficult driving conditions tomorrow. In between, some sunshine.
:05:36. > :05:37.The daytime temperature reaching a maximum of 13 Celsius and
:05:38. > :05:40.high`pressure comes in from Wednesday onwards, so any early
:05:41. > :05:48.morning showers on Wednesday will die away. The sky is bright towards
:05:49. > :05:53.the end of the week. It might just turn a little bit windy at times.
:05:54. > :06:11.That's it from me. Believing. Good Good evening. We have still got some
:06:12. > :06:14.very heavy showers out there. For ors we are finishing the day on a
:06:15. > :06:18.more positive note. Clearer skies to the south indicating sunshine but
:06:19. > :06:23.the cloud still streaming in further north. Tomorrow's forecast brings a
:06:24. > :06:26.similar mixture, sunshine and showers although the winds will
:06:27. > :06:29.start to be lighter. That process begins through the night tonight. A
:06:30. > :06:33.shattering of showers still possible. Clearer skies across
:06:34. > :06:36.northern Scotland probably our lowest temperatures here. For many
:06:37. > :06:42.temperatures will begin Monday morning at around 8 or 9 degrees
:06:43. > :06:46.already with a few showers around. I think be drier spells in between, as
:06:47. > :06:50.with the nature of showers, they are not everywhere all of the time.
:06:51. > :06:54.Cloudy with brighter spells mixed in across parts of northern England and
:06:55. > :06:58.southern Scotland already with the potential of one or two to be heavy.
:06:59. > :07:01.On northern Scotland on balance through the day on Monday while
:07:02. > :07:05.there could be a few showers, a slight improvement here. But they
:07:06. > :07:08.will start to develop throughout the afternoon and with lighter winds we
:07:09. > :07:10.are more likely to see lines
