Thank you. That is all from us for this evening. It is good night from

:00:00.3:59:59

me, Fans of Fleetwood Town Football Club

:00:00.:00:14.

are celebrrating tonight after they won the League Two play`off final

:00:15.:00:20.

against Burton Albion. Their victory means they'll play

:00:21.:00:22.

third tier football for This was one

:00:23.:00:25.

of these I was there moments. They have seen the team rise

:00:26.:00:30.

through the divisions. And now with the hope of English

:00:31.:00:33.

football, they managed to get into League One to compete with

:00:34.:00:36.

the big boys next season. A brilliant day, especially

:00:37.:00:40.

with these two little fellas. I was there 29 years ago,

:00:41.:00:51.

even better today. 29 years ago last time you were

:00:52.:00:59.

at Wembley? When you look at tha , now you are

:01:00.:01:01.

in League One, can you believe it? To being near the bottom to being

:01:02.:01:36.

third in football, it is brilliant. Amazing, absolutely amazing. What

:01:37.:01:42.

does it mean to the fans? It means everything. What about

:01:43.:01:46.

you? I can't believe it. I can't believe it at all. What was

:01:47.:01:53.

it like when the goal went in? It was heaven. Knowing that we had a

:01:54.:01:57.

good chance of going up. Last time I was here, it was 1985.

:01:58.:02:04.

We are going up I knew that we were going to do it.

:02:05.:02:07.

After five years in Brussels, the British National Party Leader

:02:08.:02:10.

Nick Griffin is no longer a North West Euro MP.

:02:11.:02:13.

The North West elected eight MEPs with Labour

:02:14.:02:15.

Our political editor Arif Ansari was at the count.

:02:16.:02:26.

Nick Griffin's time as a Euro MP ended as it began,

:02:27.:02:29.

Two demonstrators were arrested and one BNP member injured, but for

:02:30.:02:35.

A different Nick Griffin stepped forward as Labour won.

:02:36.:02:49.

We have got rid of the racist BNP from the North West.

:02:50.:02:55.

It is fantastic and it is fantastic for Labour.

:02:56.:02:58.

We came within 1% of getting that fourth seat and that is a good

:02:59.:03:01.

springboard for Labour in the North West to the general election.

:03:02.:03:07.

I was surprised when I was elected five years ago,

:03:08.:03:12.

It has been a privilege to serve the people of the North West,

:03:13.:03:18.

I hope that those who have been elected will take

:03:19.:03:21.

They also took three of the seats. Last year, we missed out by 1000

:03:22.:03:43.

votes on a second seat. We have travelled, we have tripled our

:03:44.:03:45.

representation in the North West. The Conservatives,

:03:46.:03:48.

who won last time, dropped We inherited a deficit and huge

:03:49.:03:50.

problems, so the fact that we have held two seats here is good, we

:03:51.:03:55.

would have liked to have had the The Greens failed to get

:03:56.:03:59.

a seat, but helped the Liberal The Liberal Democrats did not stick

:04:00.:04:03.

around for defeat, but they will not be able to hide from

:04:04.:04:09.

the questions about what it means US drugs giant Pfizer has withdrawn

:04:10.:04:12.

its multi`billion takeover bid for UK pharmaceutical firm

:04:13.:04:21.

AstraZeneca, which employs up to Astra Zeneca rejected a final offer

:04:22.:04:24.

from Pfizer earlier this month. But analysts think other offers

:04:25.:04:30.

could come in the future. Any merger between AstraZeneca

:04:31.:04:32.

and American rival Pfizercould have This is the value of Astra Zeneca

:04:33.:04:39.

to the North West ` ?4.5 billion. That's 3%of the region's GVA,

:04:40.:04:46.

the total value of all goods Concerns were heightened when there

:04:47.:05:07.

were questions about the takeover earlier this month. They would not

:05:08.:05:11.

say how many jobs it would keep in Macclesfield.

:05:12.:05:18.

It means if the work finds. I do not know how many.

:05:19.:05:23.

The local MP has welcomed news that Pfizer has withdrawn

:05:24.:05:26.

I do not think that they won public trust. If they ever come back, they

:05:27.:05:36.

need to put more on the table. I am keen that we have as many jobs here

:05:37.:05:41.

as possible. The worry with Pfizer is that they could cut back the

:05:42.:05:47.

base. City analysts do not think that the

:05:48.:05:51.

deal will disappear for good. Under the rules, the negotiations could

:05:52.:05:58.

take place again in three months. Otherwise, Pfizer will have to wait

:05:59.:06:00.

six months before starting again For those

:06:01.:06:03.

in the North West whose livelihoods depend on the pharmaceutical giant,

:06:04.:06:05.

uncertainty will continue. A 49`year`old man's been killed

after his car collided with The family of Liam Edge say he was

a loving husband and father of three boys and he'll be greatly

:06:12.:06:16.

missed by everyone. The police are appealing

:06:17.:06:19.

for witnesses. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers

:06:20.:06:22.

has signed a new contract to keep He says he's both humbled

:06:23.:06:25.

and privileged to be offered the chance to extend his stay,

which he says will be exciting, Around 1000 people have taken part

in a procession that has been popular

with generations of Mancunians. The Annual Whit walk was held

:06:41.:06:43.

in Manchester earlier. The tradition dates back more than

:06:44.:06:45.

200 years and was started by Sunday schools to ensure children didn't

get involved in gambling Cricket, and on the second day

we have The bank holiday went exactly as we

:07:20.:07:33.

have predicted. It was a best day to day. Cloud has begun to build over

the last two hours. The story as we go through this week, I am afraid

:07:38.:07:42.

that today was a one off, and it will be unsettled with rain at times

:07:43.:07:48.

for the next couple of days. Our picture tonight is one of showers

:07:49.:07:52.

that are moving across the Pennines. They will move in as you head

:07:53.:07:57.

towards midnight and in some places and they will be on and off for a

:07:58.:08:02.

time. It is worth noting that showers will end our day. All of the

:08:03.:08:08.

temperatures will be warmer because of the cloud cover, 11 or 12 in

:08:09.:08:12.

places. Tomorrow, do not beef fooled by the dry weather when you get up.

:08:13.:08:22.

The showers will merge for a longer spell of rain as you get into the

:08:23.:08:26.

afternoon. It will not be pouring through the day, but it will take a

:08:27.:08:29.

turn for the worst when you get turn for the worst when you get

:08:30.:08:34.

after lunchtime. Even the isle of man will see some showers. It is a

:08:35.:08:38.

day that provides a lot of cloud cover and showers.

:08:39.:08:44.

This wind from the north`east, not a good temperature for us, will see

:08:45.:08:51.

temperatures of 13 degrees. The outlook is not brilliant, we will

:08:52.:08:55.

keep that north`easterly breeze on Wednesday, keeping the temperatures

:08:56.:09:01.

down. Once again, you can see that rain moving in. It will move to the

:09:02.:09:06.

east as you go to Thursday. You won't notice the difference, it will

:09:07.:09:12.

be a degree or so of difference in temperature. On Friday, the picture

:09:13.:09:16.

should be better, but it will never be wonderful. It will be dry rather

:09:17.:09:22.

than any real sunshine. When the children are off, the weather often

:09:23.:09:27.

takes a turn for the worst. We will be back at 10:30 p.m.. Good

:09:28.:09:29.

evening. Good evening. If I were to conduct a

:09:30.:10:13.

straw poll about the weather events today, I suspect we would get a

:10:14.:10:18.

split decision. There were significant differences around, we

:10:19.:10:24.

have sunshine and some warmth, but also this cloud and rain coming up

:10:25.:10:27.

through the Channel into the north of England. On top of that, some

:10:28.:10:33.

showers in the north-west, some of them thundery from Northern Ireland

:10:34.:10:37.

and Scotland, so a real eclectic mix. This will drift away over the

:10:38.:10:43.

next few hours, we will keep the cloud overnight, and we will see

:10:44.:10:48.

more significant rain pushing in off the north

:10:49.:10:49.
