:09:50. > :09:52.Hillsborough tragedy 25 years ago. Liverpool's Labour Mayor,
:09:53. > :09:56.Joe Anderson, said his partx leader had insulted every person

:10:28. > :10:30.This is a paper at the belidf went out of its way to smear the names of

:10:36. > :10:40.apologised over the phone l`st night and when our colleagues frol BBC
:10:41. > :10:47.Radio Manchester sides spokd to him today, it seems that he had been
:10:48. > :10:49.somewhat placated. He was asked to do it to support
:10:50. > :10:52.the England team. He felt that
:10:53. > :10:55.if he would have refused to do that, he would have been branded
:10:56. > :10:57.as someone who wasn't patriotic He was in between a rock

:11:21. > :11:24.placating the mayor but there was a resignation from the party today in

:11:30. > :11:36.leader to pause for a photograph with The Sun, was he?
:11:37. > :11:48.That's right. David Cameron and Nick Clegg also pose with the newspaper.
:11:49. > :11:50.Nick Clegg has also been asked to apologise.
:11:51. > :11:53.People outside of Merseysidd realise the great upset and harm th`t was
