:00:58. > :01:09.to 500 jobs could be lost at BAE Systems in Lancashire.
:01:10. > :01:13.The positions thought to be under threat are all management
:01:14. > :01:18.based at Warton near Blackpool. The company says it's
:01:19. > :01:21.decisions yet, but admits it is reviewing its

:02:56. > :03:03.for agencies in the next six months you might think that but what is
:03:04. > :03:10.being built at the moment makes for quite an exciting time. BAE are a
:03:11. > :03:20.massive employer in Lancashire and the north`west and I think they will
:03:21. > :03:25.remain so for some time to come. If there are to be job losses

:04:43. > :04:53.at a Liverpool fan who'd escaped from the crush and told her
:04:54. > :05:04.police why they were not letting anyone

:06:46. > :06:52.described the large outside the turnstiles and he said
:06:53. > :06:54.that build`up seemed to be uncontrolled by police. He was asked
:06:55. > :07:04.if it was right that the code and congestion was so large that the

:07:25. > :07:30.The police say they've disrupted a large`scale operation to pirate

:13:17. > :13:20.procedure. It is but there is also a lot of work

:13:58. > :14:02.say this is the religious and cultural thing. It is not a

:14:10. > :14:16.use that to say it is the religious practice but it is actually a

:15:38. > :15:46.but it's bad news for Lancashire. Four years ago a group of

:18:08. > :18:11.claims that Manchester United's attitude towards players
:18:12. > :18:19.changing. This centres around Danny well. Sir Alex Ferguson's former
:18:20. > :18:26.assistant says it is like the club losing its identity. The England
:18:27. > :18:32.forward was one of several late deadline moves. It was the comings
:18:33. > :18:39.and goings at United which dominated. He did the view of David
:18:40. > :18:46.Beckham. We always worry about the young talent coming through. Seeing
:18:47. > :18:53.Danny leave Manchester United is sad but obviously the manager knows what
:18:54. > :19:00.he is doing. He's doing the best he feels. But Danny being such a young
:19:01. > :19:04.kid and growing up at Manchester United, it is sad. It was a
:19:05. > :19:07.record`breaking day yesterday for deadline day but what about Old
:19:08. > :19:18.Trafford? Do not get too excited. Record`breaking four Yorkshire but
:19:19. > :19:29.not Lancashire. More than 600 before depleting. Still 144 for two so the
:19:30. > :19:31.White Rose definitely on top and the red rose bullying another
:19:32. > :19:38.disappointing day in a mixed season. It has always been the biggest game
:19:39. > :19:47.in county cricket. He stands may not be quite soulful beasties but the
:19:48. > :19:55.Roses match still matters. Having a big crowd to play in front of this
:19:56. > :20:00.exciting and inspiring. There is a big rivalry between supporters. The
:20:01. > :20:05.Yorkshire supporters are going for the win and the championship.
:20:06. > :20:13.Lancashire battling to avoid defeat and relegation. There is a lot of
:20:14. > :20:21.disgruntlement. There are a number of issues really. Firstly, there is
:20:22. > :20:25.an old boy feeling within the club. Unfortunately we like France and
:20:26. > :20:32.bowlers have not been so penetrating as they needed to be. I cannot see
:20:33. > :20:39.it... It will be a miracle if they get out of this. Lancashire's
:20:40. > :20:47.cricket director accepts it has been a difficult time since the court
:20:48. > :20:54.went back to the England club. How disruptive has that been for the
:20:55. > :21:03.club? Very disruptive. Who knows what difference it has made but it
:21:04. > :21:07.certainly did not help us. With two more games after this
:21:08. > :21:13.Lancashire to save the season, do not expect the red rose to raise the
:21:14. > :21:20.white flag just yet. champion Sir Bradley Wiggins says he
:21:21. > :21:28.is honoured to be named for the tour of Britain. Mark Cavendish will also
:21:29. > :21:34.compete. Cycling of a different type now and a father and son from
:21:35. > :21:39.Cumbria have begun one of the world's toughest to real challenges.
:21:40. > :21:46.They are hoping to become the first people to compete `` complete the
:21:47. > :21:51.race around Ireland on a tandem. The Beach boys covered more than 300
:21:52. > :21:55.miles in the first day, just 1000 to go. I would like to see
:21:56. > :22:03.Bradley on a tandem, that would be worth
:22:04. > :22:12.watching! We are going to get the weather in the minute but what
:22:13. > :22:15.chance like a sure saving a draw? If they do it would be the best batting
:22:16. > :22:21.performance of the season. A chance to salvage something. If
:22:22. > :22:27.get to that final day it would give them extra
:22:28. > :22:33.whole day, eight wickets remaining. Noreen I don't think.
:22:34. > :22:39.out. For once we might be warping for Manchester rain! Thank you very
:22:40. > :22:48.much. Now you know when you rummage you did not know you had, usually
:22:49. > :22:53.useless plastic but something Manchester University
:22:54. > :23:03.has discovered is more is rare and priceless, it was stored
:23:04. > :23:08.in the on archives for 100 years before they realised what it was.
:23:09. > :23:12.This doctor has found something special. There was no expedition
:23:13. > :23:17.the Middle East, nor elaborate archaeological dig. There
:23:18. > :23:31.her university library in the middle of Manchester. It is a text that was
:23:32. > :23:39.inscribed by probably a month or police to protect the dealer from
:23:40. > :23:53.any kind of evil. A kind of Christian lucky charm? It is, yes.
:23:54. > :23:58.View you, all who roll over the air, it says. It was made here in Egypt
:23:59. > :24:10.1500 years ago. Who would have used it and who would have carried it
:24:11. > :24:15.with them? They would have suspended it around the neck, either with
:24:16. > :24:23.simple string or in a nice locket, for the dead. With the use of
:24:24. > :24:31.imaging techniques we were able to make out what was on the other side,
:24:32. > :24:38.a tax receipt, the Christian writer had recycled old documents. To find
:24:39. > :24:46.something so rare and valuable in your own collection, it is a bit
:24:47. > :24:53.like finding a ?10 note down the back of your so far. Yes! She is now
:24:54. > :25:01.working her way through the rest of the collection hoping for a few more
:25:02. > :25:07.surprises. An expensive find! I do not know what it is worth but must
:25:08. > :25:11.be a lot of money. Now the weather. It is not often I get a request for
:25:12. > :25:23.rain but if they are hoping to have rain today they are going to be
:25:24. > :25:26.disappointed. There is a good chance there will be no rain tomorrow. A
