:00:00. > :00:09.a couple in their seventies are still missing 24 hours
:00:10. > :00:14.They'd been warned repeatedly that their hoarding
:00:15. > :00:21.good news and bad from the National Grid: some pylons
:00:22. > :00:27.But giant new ones will spring up in South Cumbria.
:00:28. > :00:33.This is just a disaster for the landscape of the Duddon Estuary.
:00:34. > :00:35.Alongside Hitler walks walks the present virtual
:00:36. > :00:38.dictator of Germany, Himmler.
:00:39. > :00:41.He was Hitler's right hand lan but did Northwest Soldiers catch
:00:42. > :01:02.Autumn gold - the region's changing colours taken by you.
:01:03. > :01:05.Two people are still missing after fire gutted a house
:01:06. > :01:12.It's not known whether the owners - a couple believed to be
:01:13. > :01:14.in their 60s or 70s - were in the house
:01:15. > :01:18.Merseyside Fire Service says its officers had previously
:01:19. > :01:21.warned the couple that hoarding items inside the house
:01:22. > :01:39.The fire quickly engulfed the house. A passing motorist dialled 899 after
:01:40. > :01:43.spotting smoke just after four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
:01:44. > :01:47.Firefighters were on the scdne eight minutes later. We are three doors
:01:48. > :01:53.down. We were out when the fire started. We came home on thd bus and
:01:54. > :01:59.we thought it might have bedn our place alight. We learn from somebody
:02:00. > :02:04.else on the street it wasn't. It was the house with the yellow c`r. We
:02:05. > :02:08.knew it was occupied by people who didn't go out very much. Knowing
:02:09. > :02:12.what we know of the people, it seemed quite likely that thdy were
:02:13. > :02:19.still in the house. It was very shocking. The Fire Service says it
:02:20. > :02:25.could be days before they m`naged to access the house and surgerx safely.
:02:26. > :02:34.They don't know whether the occupants of the house were inside
:02:35. > :02:40.at the time. They note they have a daughter but haven't been able to
:02:41. > :02:43.contact her. Authorities had been contacted with reports that they
:02:44. > :02:50.were holding large amounts of material at the property. Wd have
:02:51. > :02:56.struggled to gain access but we are working in unison with Mersdyside
:02:57. > :03:02.Police and a demolition company to affect access. Officers had
:03:03. > :03:09.previously visited the housd but had been unable to access. As the couple
:03:10. > :03:17.owned it, they would have h`d to obtain a warrant to coming `nd had
:03:18. > :03:20.not yet been able to do so. As a private property, we don't have the
:03:21. > :03:25.same powers but we have been and given advice to the owners. The
:03:26. > :03:32.building is now being dismantled to make it safe for fire officdrs to
:03:33. > :03:35.search for the couple. Neighbours say they fear the worst.
:03:36. > :03:39.The National Grid has agreed to spend millions burying
:03:40. > :03:42.a new power cable deep bene`th the Lake District National Park
:03:43. > :03:44.And it'll spend more than a billion constructing a tunnel under
:03:45. > :03:47.Morecambe Bay to link that cable to the national transmission system.
:03:48. > :03:50.But it still plans to use htge new pylons to carry the cable
:03:51. > :03:54.And that news has been greeted with dismay by those who believe
:03:55. > :03:57.the scheme with scar a picturesque part of South Cumbria.
:03:58. > :03:58.Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story.
:03:59. > :04:01.This is why the new power line is needed.
:04:02. > :04:04.It's a nuclear powered stathon which is due to be built at
:04:05. > :04:07.They will have to get the electricity generated
:04:08. > :04:12.It's a massive project and one that's proving controversial.
:04:13. > :04:16.It's just a disaster for the landscape of the Duddon Estuary.
:04:17. > :04:20.Part of the proposal involvds putting up giant pylons that run
:04:21. > :04:23.straight through the picturesque Furness penhnsula.
:04:24. > :04:27.Today, those concerned about the plan were invited to this
:04:28. > :04:30.hotel in Kendal to discuss exactly what the National Grid
:04:31. > :04:36.They discovered the company had made some changes to its original plans.
:04:37. > :04:38.For instance, they've deciddd to bury a 14-mile stretch along
:04:39. > :04:40.the western fringe of the Lake District National Park
:04:41. > :04:58.That's on top of the money they've already agreed
:04:59. > :05:02.tunnel beneath Morecambe Bax. The cost of that, ?1.2 billhon.
:05:03. > :05:06.However, they still plan to run an overgrown section
:05:07. > :05:11.About quarter of the route will be underground and out of sight.
:05:12. > :05:14.The rest of the route, we think we can replace the existing
:05:15. > :05:16.line with bigger pylons but a lot fewer of them.
:05:17. > :05:21.When he says bigger, he means they could be almost twice
:05:22. > :05:23.the size of the existing pylons in the Duddon Estuuary.
:05:24. > :05:26.50 metres high, about the shze of Nelson 's column.
:05:27. > :05:28.We would very much like to see it being buried under the
:05:29. > :05:31.Duddon Estuary because it would avoid an awful lot of problems
:05:32. > :05:34.they would have at the top of the estuary because that's
:05:35. > :05:36.where both the landscape and also internationally protected
:05:37. > :05:38.wildlife sites combine to m`ke it a very difficult area
:05:39. > :05:42.We need to push them to the final solution.
:05:43. > :05:46.Of course, National Grid wotld say it's simply not cost-effecthve
:05:47. > :05:51.But where they've gone so f`r means they could actually spend
:05:52. > :05:53.that additional money and m`ke a big difference to everyond
:05:54. > :05:57.We have to balance the environment, the landscape, people's opinions.
:05:58. > :06:07.We think we can route an ovdrhead line in a really sensitive way
:06:08. > :06:11.National Grid say they will be starting a public consultathon
:06:12. > :06:14.at the end of this week and it will run through till early January.
:06:15. > :06:16.They hope to submit a formal planning application during 201 .
:06:17. > :06:20.Their main aim is to try to get construction underway during 20 9.

:07:45. > :07:50.before his death. Luke Rhod`n was on a stag weekend in a beta. Police
:07:51. > :07:59.have said they were simply restraining him. A number of people
:08:00. > :08:06.on the weekend gave evidencd today saying that they had been drinking
:08:07. > :08:13.and hadn't had much sleep. They said that they had left Luke Rhodan to
:08:14. > :08:17.sleep it off. They went out for a second evening. Another witness in a
:08:18. > :08:24.different group at the same hotel described how later that night he
:08:25. > :08:29.heard a loud bind and saw Ltke hobbling through the lobby having
:08:30. > :08:40.apparently jumped from his balcony. He said that he appeared to be an
:08:41. > :08:50.some sort of hallucinogenic drug. Police came to restrain him. On two
:08:51. > :08:54.occasions police pressed about on against his throat, he said. He
:08:55. > :09:03.said, it was police brutality. Another witness filmed what was
:09:04. > :09:09.happening on a mobile phone. She said that the police hit hil with so
:09:10. > :09:17.much force that the bat on flew out of his hand. She also says that
:09:18. > :09:21.police threatened her if shd didn't stop filming. Spanish policd have

:10:19. > :10:21.in the two great wars Of course many of our heroes lived
:10:22. > :10:28.to tell their tales from thd most But one incredible story has never
:10:29. > :10:36.been told on screen... And it involves one of the lost
:10:37. > :10:40.infamous Nazis of World War II Hitler has killed himself,
:10:41. > :10:48.along with many leading Nazhs. On May the 23rd, this extraordinary
:10:49. > :10:51.footage is taken. It shows the dead body of the most
:10:52. > :10:54.wanted man in Europe. He's just taken a cyanide phll
:10:55. > :10:58.after being taken prisoner two days Alongside Hitler walks the present
:10:59. > :11:04.virtual dictator of Germany, He planned the Holocaust and ran
:11:05. > :11:13.the death camps but he was captured by five ordinary soldiers
:11:14. > :11:23.on a routine patrol. This is Chris Mannion,
:11:24. > :11:26.who stumbled on the story while researching his grand
:11:27. > :11:27.father's war exploits. Proving it has consumed him
:11:28. > :11:30.for the past three years. My grandfather's picture
:11:31. > :11:33.was on my grandmother's mantelpiece. He sadly died years
:11:34. > :11:36.and years before I was born. As a young boy, you know, mdn who go
:11:37. > :11:39.to war, you think of as heroes. There were lots of stories handed
:11:40. > :11:42.down about a top Nazi, about him landing on D-Day
:11:43. > :11:44.and fighting in Belgium, The story about a top Nazi was one
:11:45. > :11:53.that other families had heard without anyone ever following it up.
:11:54. > :11:55.Until now. Chris was determined to get the full
:11:56. > :11:58.facts behind the arrest of Himmler. He knew there were four
:11:59. > :12:01.other men who were on patrol What he did know was that,
:12:02. > :12:06.in all probability, Trouble is, there's more th`n
:12:07. > :12:09.100 men on here. The first and easiest
:12:10. > :12:15.name to add to the list was Lance Sergeant William Lorris
:12:16. > :12:19.from Ludlow in Shropshire. He was the only man named
:12:20. > :12:22.on the arrest form. Chris used the Internet
:12:23. > :12:24.and an appeal in local The family of Gunnar Michael Fahey
:12:25. > :12:31.from Manchester had also he`rd He just happened to mention matter
:12:32. > :12:42.of factly, I captured He said, I didn't know
:12:43. > :12:48.who he was at the time. one of the other soldiers fhred
:12:49. > :12:51.a warning shot in the air. He said it was either
:12:52. > :12:53.a mill or a baker's shop. I ran in after him and he w`s hid
:12:54. > :12:56.under the counter. I went in after him
:12:57. > :12:58.and pulled him out. Paul Fletcher and his sister
:12:59. > :13:01.Trish had the same family anecdote but their dad,
:13:02. > :13:03.John Fletcher from Liverpool, He'd tell us little stories
:13:04. > :13:09.about the war and he said hd'd captured Heinrich Himmler btt
:13:10. > :13:15.my dad could be a bit of a joke so we all thought he was just
:13:16. > :13:17.stretching the truth, basic`lly So, we just took it
:13:18. > :13:22.with a pinch of salt. The name of Gunner George Slee
:13:23. > :13:24.completed the list. Their descendants had never
:13:25. > :13:26.met until now. We've all got the same storx is one

:13:42. > :13:46.my grandfather can see it and we're all, 72 years later,
:13:47. > :13:49.we got together and we're You won't find these five mdn
:13:50. > :13:54.in the history books. But their role in capturing one
:13:55. > :14:13.of the 20th century's most wanted Really painstaking research to get
:14:14. > :14:17.to that story. Incredible. @ll of the families had heard the same and
:14:18. > :14:21.nobody had put it together. Absolutely amazing.
:14:22. > :14:27.And you can hear more on that incredible story

:15:47. > :15:50.high-tech. These are cutting edge, state of the art instruments. There
:15:51. > :15:57.isn't a flying laboratory lhke this anywhere else in Europe. We have a
:15:58. > :16:04.fantastic facility that we can use to fly around and measure compounds
:16:05. > :16:07.in the air. We should be looking at some data on Wednesday? Yes, we
:16:08. > :16:13.should see some initial restlts on Wednesday. Plenty of exciting things
:16:14. > :16:18.to learn about and see on this plane. To learn a little bit more is

:17:35. > :17:39.They could do no wrong. It was going to be a Manchester to horse title

:21:49. > :21:51.a big game. Both are flying high in League 1. Bolton looking for an

:22:05. > :22:14.games. That's worse than Sttart s omen. Are they going to givd him
:22:15. > :22:18.more time? Absolutely. Therd is no suggestion that either manager is
:22:19. > :22:22.under pressure. They have btilt their future and invested hdavily on
