:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson ` and Annabel Tiffin.

:00:07. > :00:18.Working as one of the region's top schools left one man with a

:00:19. > :00:20.potentially deadly condition. Police release drink drive footage `

:00:21. > :00:23.as they launch We meet

:00:24. > :00:44.the women who're breaking down I'm on osprey watching South Cumbria

:00:45. > :01:02.in the hope that the chicks are about to be born.

:01:03. > :01:08.A man from Liverpool who became ill working at one of the country's top

:01:09. > :01:14.public schools says the onus will kill him. Terry developed the

:01:15. > :01:17.illness by working as a stonemason in Lancashire. He has been talking

:01:18. > :01:22.exclusively to ask. The school has been fined ?100,000 for failing to

:01:23. > :01:31.protect the health and safety of employees.

:01:32. > :01:37.Stonyhurst College, founded by Catholic priests, Jesuits and famous

:01:38. > :01:45.`` famously prided on its high moral standards. Terry felt it let him

:01:46. > :01:48.down badly. The college didn't do enough to protect him from the

:01:49. > :01:52.dangerous dust that is released when you cut into sandstone. He says that

:01:53. > :01:57.the illness he contracted by working here will kill him.

:01:58. > :02:03.The sign that greets you as you enter the college was made by Terry.

:02:04. > :02:08.For nearly 12 years, he maintained the school's historic buildings. In

:02:09. > :02:13.2011, he was diagnosed with a lung disease. It was contracted through

:02:14. > :02:23.his work here. Four months later, the college made redundant. I do

:02:24. > :02:26.feel let down, but it's not the establishment it's the people who

:02:27. > :02:31.work for it. I don't want to blame the Stonyhurst College as it is a

:02:32. > :02:38.wonderful place. But the ethos that they teach is fine but is not

:02:39. > :02:42.carried out by the hierarchy. Terry had these photographs taken of

:02:43. > :02:47.himself at work. He wasn't `` he wasn't given adequate detection

:02:48. > :02:53.against the dangers of working with dust.

:02:54. > :02:57.The men working in the workshop only had one doorway, no window. There

:02:58. > :03:00.was no means of extracting the dust. When both men were working in the

:03:01. > :03:04.workshop, a Falk was created though that they could not each other

:03:05. > :03:10.across the workshop. It was really bad.

:03:11. > :03:16.Terry is 54, out of work and with the terrible illness.

:03:17. > :03:22.It will kill me. I am more prone to lung cancer, tuberculosis, and

:03:23. > :03:27.ammonia and kidney failure. Also, arthritis and connective tissue

:03:28. > :03:32.damage. There was a comments by one of the consultants who said, the

:03:33. > :03:39.only way you can be curate is with a heart and lung transplant. It can't

:03:40. > :03:43.be curate. It can only get worse. Terry won a case of unfair dismissal

:03:44. > :03:52.against the school last year. But he faces an uncertain future.

:03:53. > :03:56.Stonyhurst College says it except the court ruling and indicates its

:03:57. > :04:03.remorse in open court. Terry finds and `` remorse for the position

:04:04. > :04:07.Terry finds himself in. A 65`year`old competitor has been

:04:08. > :04:13.killed today at the Isle of Man TT races. He died during the race on

:04:14. > :04:19.the third lap. He was an experienced and regular rider the first competed

:04:20. > :04:29.in 1992. He was the first person to be killed at this year's events.

:04:30. > :04:32.Police say an off duty doctor could hold vital information about a boxer

:04:33. > :04:34.who was struck by a car. Vinnie Holligan was struck

:04:35. > :04:36.on Northern Perimeter Road The driver later gave himself up and

:04:37. > :04:41.is being questioned on suspicion of The doctor,

:04:42. > :04:45.who'd been caring for the 19 year old, left the scene before officers

:04:46. > :04:49.had a chance to speak to him. Police have released CCTV pictures

:04:50. > :04:52.of a robbery at a petrol station Two men threatened staff with

:04:53. > :04:56.an imitation firearm and made It happened on the 21st of May

:04:57. > :05:02.on Dunham Road in Altrincham. The Labour MP for Bootle,

:05:03. > :05:05.Joe Benton, could lose his seat ` after party members voted to open

:05:06. > :05:08.up the selection process. They want to be able to choose

:05:09. > :05:11.a new candidate to fight Mr Benton ` who's 80 `

:05:12. > :05:16.was first elected in 1990 and wants The Labour Party will meet

:06:10. > :06:23.police. My blood went cold. I knew then. This happens on mother's day.

:06:24. > :06:30.That adds a whole new elements to it. She is very determined to get

:06:31. > :06:32.the message out there. Its life changing for everyone. You can't

:06:33. > :06:36.shrug it off. Last summer's crackdown saw

:07:16. > :07:18.bit inside. It kills me. But my hope is that one parent would look at

:07:19. > :07:36.that car and imagine that it was their child. Even though he was 23,

:07:37. > :07:39.he was still my baby. The structural engineer responsible for designing

:07:40. > :07:42.parts of the Hillsborough stadium thought it would be ridiculous to

:07:43. > :07:47.restrict standing access to the stadium.

:07:48. > :07:51.Lawyers have been reading the evidence and expert gave to the Lord

:07:52. > :07:55.Justice. We have been at court in Warrington today.

:07:56. > :08:16.Doctor eastward has been stadium. He also worked with the

:08:17. > :08:22.committee that overgrown `` oversaw the ground's safety. He has been

:08:23. > :08:27.giving evidence to the Lord Justice Taylor enquiry. He was asked what

:08:28. > :08:30.his opinion was of inserting fences on the Western Terrace to create

:08:31. > :08:35.smaller pens. He said that was fine as long as there was it ``

:08:36. > :08:37.sufficient control to monitor how many fans were getting in. He was

:08:38. > :10:05.asked 2014 is the centenary of the

:10:06. > :10:10.outbreak of the First World War. We are looking at life on the home

:10:11. > :10:14.front. Here, `` tonight we are in Cumbria. 100 years ago, they had

:10:15. > :10:27.started to build another super weapon.

:10:28. > :10:35.This is what is left of the forts built in 1911 to guard the

:10:36. > :10:40.approaches to Barrow Inverness. It was the scene of one of the oddest

:10:41. > :10:46.little German naval attacks of the First World War. A German U`boat

:10:47. > :10:51.surfaced about a mile out there, and aims in the direction of two huge

:10:52. > :10:55.buildings in lands. The shells missed their targets and the gunners

:10:56. > :11:04.he drove off the radar is. But what was the boat aiming at? ``?

:11:05. > :11:12.This is where a fitted sheet was filmed in the 20s. Shipbuilding had

:11:13. > :11:19.started here before the war. `` this footage was filmed.

:11:20. > :11:25.They build airships that would operate as long`range naval

:11:26. > :11:35.reconnaissance vessel. The site is now buried under a housing estate.

:11:36. > :11:43.It was 540 foot long and 150 feet wide. This shed could fit to

:11:44. > :11:49.airships. There would have been a swarm of people, hundreds and

:11:50. > :11:57.hundreds of people, building themselves. It was dark inside with

:11:58. > :12:03.a chemical smell. Metal work going on, gasbag manufacture, all sorts of

:12:04. > :12:11.canvas work. There would have been the views of petrol and fuel. Women

:12:12. > :12:20.were working their act as well. That was quite skilled work for the day.

:12:21. > :12:23.This man was nearly gassed on one airship test flight but went on to

:12:24. > :12:29.become one of Britain's's greatest aeronautical engineers.

:12:30. > :12:37.He really did learn his trade as an advanced engineer. That led to the

:12:38. > :12:38.Wellington bomber, all sorts of incredible things that came from

:12:39. > :12:43.this genius. The airships carried out valuable

:12:44. > :12:48.work, but after the war of the military last interest in the

:12:49. > :12:53.technology. Lack of investment led to the ships being closed in 1921.

:12:54. > :12:58.Plans to turn them into film studios, a British Hollywood, came

:12:59. > :13:04.to nothing. They were abolished in the late 1920s. The brief

:13:05. > :13:09.spectacular age of the airship was over. The work carried out here has

:13:10. > :13:14.a long and surprisingly busy. The design work on airships, the

:13:15. > :13:19.experiments ` there was a tremendous legacy. It went into aeroplanes,

:13:20. > :13:26.especially metal aeroplanes, and even submarines. The US Navy used a

:13:27. > :13:32.lot of our design work even in their nuclear submarines in the 1950s. The

:13:33. > :13:37.research and the knowledge was not wasted.

:13:38. > :13:42.I really learned something. Fascinating stuff. And there is more

:13:43. > :14:06.World War I tonight on BBC One. The programme is here on BBC One at

:14:07. > :14:19.7:30pm. This forms part of the BBC's World War I At Home series.

:14:20. > :14:22.Staff at a nature reserve in South Cumbria are on tenterhooks

:14:23. > :14:26.in the hope of witnessing a little piece of ornithological history.

:14:27. > :14:31.A pair of rare Ospreys have set up home at Foulshaw Moss nature reserve

:14:32. > :14:35.` and for the first time in the reserve's history ` it looks like

:14:36. > :14:40.The nest is under round the clock surveillance to capture any hatching

:14:41. > :14:43.chicks on camera but also to protect the birds from egg thieves.

:14:44. > :14:57.It's not easy to find or get to, but that's perhaps why the ospreys have

:14:58. > :15:02.set up home here. She is sitting right in the middle

:15:03. > :15:09.of the nest. This is what they're looking at, Osprey court on a camera

:15:10. > :15:15.mounted near the nest. `` caught on camera.

:15:16. > :15:19.The nest. If we do see chicks on camera, it

:15:20. > :15:24.would be like Christmas and birthday all, once.

:15:25. > :15:29.There is no guarantee but the experts say the female has been on

:15:30. > :15:34.the nest for more than 30 days. Incubation for an Osprey is between

:15:35. > :15:38.35 and 40 days. Fingers crossed that the next few days could bring some

:15:39. > :15:43.good news. It would be very unusual for a bird

:15:44. > :15:50.to sit on a nest for 20 days, getting onto 30 days, without there

:15:51. > :16:01.being X underneath. I think we are very hopeful.

:16:02. > :16:04.Ospreys are rare enough to be on the list for conservation concern. At

:16:05. > :16:08.one time they were extinct in the UK. In 2001, a pair bred

:16:09. > :16:09.successfully in Cumbria. Now it looks like the birds are spreading

:16:10. > :16:13.into new areas. I think there are into new areas. I think there are

:16:14. > :16:19.only two pairs income rear. It's fantastic to see.

:16:20. > :16:27.It's so hard to describe. It's a fabulous feeling. Just seeing them

:16:28. > :16:31.here is indescribable. They are such a lovely bird.

:16:32. > :16:36.The area is under surveillance to protect eggs from thieves and

:16:37. > :16:42.predators. There could be a raffle of tiny feathers in a few days.

:16:43. > :16:45.Now to sport and Richard , Andrew Flintoff has been showing

:16:46. > :16:51.he's still got it as he prepares to make his comeback for Lancashire?

:16:52. > :16:55.Yes he turned out for one of his old club sides St Annes.

:16:56. > :17:12.And considering he last played in anger almost five years ago,

:17:13. > :17:19.And when you see this you'll know what I mean.

:17:20. > :17:35.This was one of three wickets he took.

:17:36. > :18:17.Slowed down you can see what a brilliant catch it was.

:18:18. > :18:21.This is what it meant to the lifelong Liverpool fan to

:18:22. > :18:26.And it left Rickie Lambert almost lost for words.

:18:27. > :18:32.As a youngster Rickie thought his chance to turn out in Liverpool

:18:33. > :18:39.I've been trying to let it sink in and it hasn't. I am finding it hard

:18:40. > :18:41.to let it sink in. I can't believe it.

:18:42. > :18:44.As a youngster Rickie thought his chance to turn out in Liverpool

:18:45. > :18:48.He was released by the club as a 15 year old.

:18:49. > :18:50.But working his way back via the likes of Macclesfield,

:18:51. > :19:04.I know what is important and I know I've got to hit the ground running.

:19:05. > :19:08.That's what we intend to do. It means everything to me, but I do

:19:09. > :19:12.believe I can help push the score for it.

:19:13. > :19:15.A goal every other game for Southampton has pushed him

:19:16. > :19:17.onto the international stage and one of Liverpool's greatest

:19:18. > :19:21.ever goalscorers says Lambert is a smart signing.

:19:22. > :19:28.He's probably a little different to what we have already. He is a

:19:29. > :19:35.Liverpool lad. Straightaway you are going to get that extra from him. He

:19:36. > :19:36.will give his all. For ?5 million, I think it is a fantastic bit of

:19:37. > :19:37.business. And as one of their own, Rickie

:19:38. > :20:06.Lambert will do everything he can to In 100 years, very few women have

:20:07. > :20:08.taken part in the TT races. It is often described as the

:20:09. > :20:13.ultimate challenge between man and machine. But it is not just men who

:20:14. > :20:23.are attracted to the danger, the thrill of the TT course.

:20:24. > :20:36.The first ever female competitor was in the 1970s.

:20:37. > :20:43.Thankfully, times have changed and women are welcome. Only few dare to

:20:44. > :20:48.take part. This year, Maria is the only female solo rider.

:20:49. > :20:54.We have had a love hate relationship because I have broken some bones.

:20:55. > :20:57.But I love racing. It is one of the best challenges. It gives you one of

:20:58. > :21:03.the best feelings in the world. It gives you the worst nerves in the

:21:04. > :21:08.world. The sidecars attract only a few

:21:09. > :21:14.more. The mechanics point to me and are

:21:15. > :21:20.very surprised. This is why she is doing it. She

:21:21. > :21:24.says once she is on the start line, everyone is equal. Everyone treats

:21:25. > :21:29.me like them. You leave the talking behind.

:21:30. > :21:34.19`year`old Hayley is the youngest ever female to take part.

:21:35. > :21:39.IMS am care assistant at all of my clients think I'm crazy. It is so

:21:40. > :21:47.many emotions mixed into one. I am excited, scared and nervous. I trust

:21:48. > :21:51.my driver 1,000,000%. No woman has ever won the TT but a

:21:52. > :22:06.handful of women will be trying this year.

:22:07. > :22:10.Now is it case of once bitten twice shy for Manchester City?

:22:11. > :22:12.You may recall the Blues star midfielder Yaya Toure was

:22:13. > :22:16.so upset after the club apparently forget to get him a birthday cake

:22:17. > :22:19.that his agent suggested a transfer away from the Etihad.

:22:20. > :22:20.Well today it's Sergio Aguero's birthday.

:22:21. > :22:37.Join us in wishing him a very happy 26th today.

:22:38. > :22:44.They always say, never work with children or animals.

:22:45. > :22:46.Pony`trekking firms in the Lake District are worried that

:22:47. > :22:49.proposed "speed restrictions" on horses ` using off`road routes `

:22:50. > :22:54.Some say the National Park Authority wants to limit horses to no more

:22:55. > :23:01.than a trot ` to protect walkers and cyclists.

:23:02. > :23:10.We have been alarmed to find out more. Here at the Manchester Donkey

:23:11. > :23:17.Sanctuary, they take in donkeys for whatever reason. They set them to

:23:18. > :23:20.work, doing assisted therapy. It involves bringing in children who

:23:21. > :23:26.may be disabled and introducing them to life on the back of a donkey.

:23:27. > :23:35.This is Lucy. She has been coming for about a year. This is her

:23:36. > :23:40.mother. She really enjoys coming. It is great for her physical

:23:41. > :23:48.developments. She's not scared? No, she is really confidence. Thank you.

:23:49. > :23:54.They couldn't do what they do here without the help of volunteers.

:23:55. > :23:59.Volunteers like Bob. Why did you volunteer to get involved in this?

:24:00. > :24:13.I've been doing this for about five years. Initially it was for the love

:24:14. > :24:18.of animals. It's very fulfilling? It's very fulfilling? The volunteers

:24:19. > :24:27.today received an accolade from the Queen. Debbie is from the donkey

:24:28. > :24:31.sanctuary. What does this award mean to you? We are thrilled. If it

:24:32. > :24:36.wasn't for the volunteers, we couldn't do what we do. They look

:24:37. > :24:42.after the donkeys, help with the rights, they do absolutely

:24:43. > :24:46.everything. Part of the awards is that you get to go to the palace for

:24:47. > :24:52.a garden party. Though the donkeys becoming? Sadly, no. I hope they

:24:53. > :24:58.enjoy it. No donkeys at `` on the lawn at

:24:59. > :25:14.Buckingham Palace, but congratulations to everyone here.

:25:15. > :25:20.It is the beginning of summer, though you wouldn't believe it if

:25:21. > :25:25.you stepped outside this afternoon. Rain or showers, and a hint of

:25:26. > :25:31.sunshine. Thursday is looking like the best day. Those showers

:25:32. > :25:35.continued to push across the North West, with heavy bursts causing

:25:36. > :25:39.problems on the road. Surface water and poor visibility. There is a lot

:25:40. > :25:43.of cloud and patchy rain and drizzle. That cloud is low enough to

:25:44. > :25:48.cause some problems with visibility tomorrow morning. The aware that

:25:49. > :25:54.there could be so mist particularly across the high roads. Temperatures

:25:55. > :26:00.around 13 or 14. Tomorrow morning. Start on a cloudy notes, and also a

:26:01. > :26:07.damp one. Just a light breeze. Look at this, a hint of sunshine coming

:26:08. > :26:12.in from the Irish Sea. Those skies breaking up through the afternoon,

:26:13. > :26:16.allowing some sunny spells. The best of the sunshine probably across

:26:17. > :26:20.Cumbria and Lancashire. It could spark off one to heavy showers

:26:21. > :26:26.towards Cheshire and the Greater Manchester area. Temperature is up

:26:27. > :26:31.to 15 or 16. A lot slower than the last few days. Cloudy on Wednesday

:26:32. > :26:43.with a few showers. On Thursday, some sunny spells. Returning to

:26:44. > :26:50.cloudy weather and rain on Friday. Let's find out why Dave should not

:26:51. > :26:57.work with animals! Are you ready? Al, that was my finger! Children and

:26:58. > :27:04.animals, what could go wrong? I think he's lost the end of his

:27:05. > :27:07.finger! What was he trying to do? Poor Dave! Go and get a tetanus

:27:08. > :27:12.shot. Thank you, good night.
