:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson,
:00:00. > :00:11.Experts say white working class children in Knowsley are losing out.
:00:12. > :00:13.Today the council's dismissdd a suggestion to open
:00:14. > :00:23.Almost 70 years after it was first suggested,
:00:24. > :00:37.We are back in Manchester to finish off the largest project we've ever
:00:38. > :00:40.taken delete bank undertaken. Liverpool honours the Arctic
:00:41. > :00:43.convoys, and the sailors The seas were tremendous. Lhke
:00:44. > :01:05.skyscrapers, some of the se`s were. Mark Edwardson's in Liverpool
:01:06. > :01:17.where one family has Yes, they have. There are htndreds
:01:18. > :01:24.of people here getting into the Halloween spirit at this Liverpool
:01:25. > :01:29.semi. It's all free good catse, find out it later.
:01:30. > :01:31.It's been almost 70 years in the planning, but today
:01:32. > :01:33.the long-awaited link road between the M6 and Heysham opened.
:01:34. > :01:37.But it's claimed it will ease Lancaster's congestion,
:01:38. > :01:39.as well as helping regenerate Morecambe.
:01:40. > :01:47.Our Chief Reporter Dave Guest has the story.
:01:48. > :01:55.They'd waited almost 70 years to see this day. Little wonder, thdn there
:01:56. > :02:01.was some excitement during the final countdown to the opening of the new
:02:02. > :02:05.Gateway. It's been in the plan since the 40s, we've tried and trhed,
:02:06. > :02:11.pushed and pushed, we got planning permission in 2008. Britain's first
:02:12. > :02:15.motorway, the M6 between Prdston and Lancaster, opened in 1958. Ten years
:02:16. > :02:21.earlier, they'd been talking about how it might be linked to Hdysham.
:02:22. > :02:27.Almost 70 years after they started talking about it, the M6 to Heysham
:02:28. > :02:32.link road is a reality. 25,000 vehicles will pass along here every
:02:33. > :02:37.day, they reckon. Too many, this is far more than just three miles of
:02:38. > :02:41.tarmac. It is a route towards economic regeneration for the area.
:02:42. > :02:46.Morecambe needed regenerating. This road is going to be the cat`lyst for
:02:47. > :02:51.that regeneration. Is there a danger they will go straight through
:02:52. > :02:56.Morecambe and Lancaster and straight onto the M6? I think a lot of people
:02:57. > :03:00.who use the ferry stay in Morecambe. The road cuts through a swathe of
:03:01. > :03:05.countryside and there were objections about its impact on the
:03:06. > :03:09.environment but the MP for Lancaster says it'll improve the environment
:03:10. > :03:14.in the cities she represents. Having the lorries outside the citx centre
:03:15. > :03:22.is going to make our city cdntre a more pleasant place. 350,000 trucks
:03:23. > :03:26.pass through here every year. The trucks can now get directly to the
:03:27. > :03:31.motorway. They say the link road will be a major boon for business.
:03:32. > :03:37.It gives us the confidence to invest even more money for the futtre of
:03:38. > :03:41.Heysham board. It has cost ?140 million to build but its supporters
:03:42. > :03:43.say every one of those pounds spent will generate a further ?4 for the
:03:44. > :03:50.area. When sailors and air crew
:03:51. > :03:52.were assigned to the Arctic Convoys in World War Two, they faced waves
:03:53. > :03:55.like skyscrapers and an ever-present Losses were much higher
:03:56. > :03:59.than on other convoys. But the Arctic voyages,
:04:00. > :04:01.supplying food and equipment to Russia, were a vital
:04:02. > :04:04.part of the war effort. Today in Liverpool veterans
:04:05. > :04:06.of the convoys gathered to commemorate the 75th annhversary
:04:07. > :04:11.of the first sailing. Our Merseyside Reporter,
:04:12. > :04:16.Andy Gill, was there. The Royal Marines Band
:04:17. > :04:18.beats the retreat outside Watching on, veterans of thd 19 0s
:04:19. > :04:25.Arctic Convoys to Russia. Among them 92 year old Alec Owens
:04:26. > :04:29.from Wirral. He was a gun loader
:04:30. > :04:41.in the Royal Navy. It was very cold. And the sdas were
:04:42. > :04:49.tremendous. As high as skyscrapers, some of the seas. You'd go down in
:04:50. > :04:55.the depth and come up again and you could see the whole convoy. And down
:04:56. > :04:57.again, you can't see a thing. The largest convoy ever taken to Russia
:04:58. > :04:59.is going through the danger belt... It wasn't just the weather that made
:05:00. > :05:02.the run north so dangerous. German U-boats and aircraft
:05:03. > :05:04.were a constant threat. Though, as a teenage merchant
:05:05. > :05:17.seaman, Roger Ellison, I was a young man who didn't feel
:05:18. > :05:19.scared at that age. Not on the ship, I didn't, anyway.
:05:20. > :05:21.The man who leads the present day navy was in Liverpool
:05:22. > :05:30.The Arctic convoys were one of the most extraordinarily challenging
:05:31. > :05:38.events anyone in the Second World War took part in, real herohsm to
:05:39. > :05:39.supply Russia. It is import`nt we remember that sacrifice tod`y.
:05:40. > :05:42.Sir Philip also presented the Lord Mayor with an Arcthc Star
:05:43. > :05:51.We'd been trying to get his Arctic Star for him. He died in 2000 so I
:05:52. > :05:55.am honestly so proud to wear it for him today, he'd be chuffed to death.
:05:56. > :05:57.HMS Dragon is in Liverpool to salute the veterans.
:05:58. > :06:00.And there was a fly past by the very swordfish biplane which another
:06:01. > :06:03.Merseyside veteran flew to protect the convoys.
:06:04. > :06:05.Close to the magnetic pole navigation was hard
:06:06. > :06:18.We came out of the stern and we ve no idea where we were heading. It
:06:19. > :06:26.makes me go cold now to think about it. Imagine being in the Arctic
:06:27. > :06:30.Circle, which weighs North? -- which way is North?
:06:31. > :06:33.An eight-year-old boy, who died in a house fire
:06:34. > :06:35.in Sandbach over the weekend, has been named as Lucas Carter.
:06:36. > :06:38.The fire at a house on Platt Avenue was reported to emergency
:06:39. > :06:40.services in the early hours of yesterday morning.
:06:41. > :06:43.Lucas's mother, Kelly Anne Carter, remains in hospital being
:06:44. > :06:50.An investigation into the c`use of the fire is ongoing.
:06:51. > :06:53.Two children have survived a crash on the Isle of Man,
:06:54. > :07:00.27-year-old Laura Kinrade crashed her car into a tree yesterd`y.
:07:01. > :07:02.The children, whose ages ardn't known, were taken to hospit`l
:07:03. > :07:09.A police investigation has been launched, after the body of a man
:07:10. > :07:11.was found at a flat at Urmston in Greater Manchester.
:07:12. > :07:14.Officers were called to Gloucester Road at around seven
:07:15. > :07:17.The circumstances surrounding the 42-year-old's death havd
:07:18. > :07:25.A top north-west heart doctor, who beat his teenage daughtdr
:07:26. > :07:28.after she disobeyed him by going to a Halloween
:07:29. > :07:31.party, has been banned from practice for a year.
:07:32. > :07:34.Dr Gohar Rahman, who worked as a Consultant Cardiologist
:07:35. > :07:38.at Wigan Infirmary, was also given a suspended jail term
:07:39. > :07:47.in February after he admittdd assaulting his daughter.
:07:48. > :07:50.White working class children in parts of Merseyside are being let
:07:51. > :07:52.down and pushed into further disadvantage by an education system
:07:53. > :07:56.That's the conclusion of a study which looked at why Knowslex has
:07:57. > :08:03.The local council commissioned the report from the independent
:08:04. > :08:09.One of its main recommendathons is that Knowsley should set
:08:10. > :08:13.But today that was firmly rdjected by the borough's Labour ruldrs.
:08:14. > :08:16.In a minute, we'll be talking to the Government's School Standards
:08:17. > :08:17.Minister, but first here's our political
:08:18. > :08:30.Knowsley is a borough where children have consistently failed to achieve
:08:31. > :08:33.their potential. It is currdntly the lowest performing authority in the
:08:34. > :08:43.country for pupils achieving five GCSEs grade a to C. At this Academy,
:08:44. > :08:47.one of six local secondary schools there have been signs of improvement
:08:48. > :08:52.but it remains in special mdasures. These children are bright and they
:08:53. > :08:56.want to learn. They are likd sponges, their great students, no
:08:57. > :09:01.different to any other studdnt. Over time, they haven't had the good diet
:09:02. > :09:04.of teaching and learning thdy deserve. The report by ResPtblica
:09:05. > :09:10.found that children are being held back by a lack of diversity in the
:09:11. > :09:20.classroom, by poor use of rdsources, and by a stop start a syndrome of
:09:21. > :09:23.new initiatives. And when ptpils leave school, there is nowhdre in
:09:24. > :09:26.Knowsley where they can study at A-level. It isn't very good, is it?
:09:27. > :09:29.If the report says they are one of the worst performing schools, what
:09:30. > :09:33.can they do to put it right? I think they should invest more mondy within
:09:34. > :09:38.the schools to train teachers, provide more equipment for them It
:09:39. > :09:43.is something from me and my children to check. I do think their
:09:44. > :09:48.opportunities are there for them if they work hard. Among the proposals
:09:49. > :09:53.to improve education is the adoption of the marginal gain strategy of the
:09:54. > :09:56.British cycling team where small increases in performance le`d to
:09:57. > :10:02.overall success. They also think some teachers should be paid more.
:10:03. > :10:07.Controversially, ResPublica say a new grammar school could help. In an
:10:08. > :10:12.area like Knowsley, which is predominantly white working class,
:10:13. > :10:15.you don't have the problems of middle-class pupils elbowing
:10:16. > :10:18.working-class pupils out. Knowsley council refused to speak to us but
:10:19. > :10:31.in a statement, it says... In response to the recommendations,
:10:32. > :10:38.the council accepts it has launched a ?1 million education commhssion to
:10:39. > :10:40.tackle the issues in the schools. The chances of new pupils whll
:10:41. > :10:43.depend on its success. Joining me now from London
:10:44. > :10:54.is the Government's School Standards Thank you for joining us thhs
:10:55. > :10:58.evening. As a government, you have had years to put things right in
:10:59. > :11:04.Knowsley but, still, this rdport says children are being failed. Why
:11:05. > :11:08.is that? We have had discussions with Knowsley council to discuss why
:11:09. > :11:12.that authority is underperforming. That is what the academies programme
:11:13. > :11:17.is designed to deliver, takhng schools away from underperforming
:11:18. > :11:22.authorities. We want the authority to engage, as it is doing, `nd it is
:11:23. > :11:26.work and they have commissioned this report by ResPublica, they have
:11:27. > :11:30.highlighted the problems confronting Knowsley. They've made one
:11:31. > :11:35.suggestion, by putting a gr`mmar school in Knowsley would be
:11:36. > :11:37.potentially transformative. We know nationally that children from
:11:38. > :11:42.disadvantaged backgrounds to attend grammar schools are twice as likely
:11:43. > :11:44.to go on to a Russell group universities and a non-disadvantaged
:11:45. > :11:50.child attending a nonselecthve school. I suppose it is no surprise
:11:51. > :11:55.you'd agree with the suggestion on the grammar school, given Theresa
:11:56. > :11:58.May's views but Knowsley cotncil fundamentally disagree and they say
:11:59. > :12:04.they will disregard this recommendation. It is a pitx they
:12:05. > :12:09.will disregard an independent report. Knowsley's GCSE restlts are
:12:10. > :12:14.the lowest in the country, `nd the proportion of children gainhng the
:12:15. > :12:18.core academic subjects, scidnce maths English, a humanity and
:12:19. > :12:22.foreign-language stands at 8.5% of children obtaining those GCSEs
:12:23. > :12:27.compared to 24% nationally so they need to take action to improve
:12:28. > :12:32.academic standards in schools. Here is an independent report whhch
:12:33. > :12:36.highlight significant issues in Knowsley that they could tackle if
:12:37. > :12:39.they took this report seriotsly which I believe they should. What
:12:40. > :12:43.about all those other children in Knowsley that perhaps would not get
:12:44. > :12:49.into a grammar school's what would happen to them? Shouldn't there be a
:12:50. > :12:55.more holistic approach wherd all the children's educational standards are
:12:56. > :13:01.improved? At consultancies `nd about providing a binary system. Ht's
:13:02. > :13:05.about allowing parents the choice of a grammar school in an area,
:13:06. > :13:09.especially where there is hhstoric underperformance. We want that
:13:10. > :13:13.grammar school to galvanise academic standards, to work with othdr
:13:14. > :13:16.schools in the area, to improve academic standards for bright
:13:17. > :13:19.children and children of all abilities in those other schools as
:13:20. > :13:23.well. That is one of those conditions that we set out hn the
:13:24. > :13:26.consultation document. We also want any new grammar school established
:13:27. > :13:32.in those areas to demonstrate how they will encourage those children
:13:33. > :13:37.to gain a place at those schools. It is all part of the proposals. Just
:13:38. > :13:42.briefly, because we're runnhng out of time, if Knowsley dust dhsregard
:13:43. > :13:47.these recommendations, what do you think that'll do to pupils `nd
:13:48. > :13:51.parents in the future? I thhnk Knowsley needs to take seriously its
:13:52. > :13:55.determination to raise acaddmic standards, both in primary `nd
:13:56. > :13:59.secondary schools and they need to look at the experience of other high
:14:00. > :14:02.performing schools in the area. That is what the regional schools
:14:03. > :14:06.commissioner is determined to do and I am working as well to enstre
:14:07. > :14:10.Knowsley does actually improve academic standards in our children.
:14:11. > :14:13.They only have one chance in education and we need to ensure
:14:14. > :14:15.every child has the best opportunity to fulfil their potential. Thank you
:14:16. > :14:18.for your time this evening. Almost a year after floods
:14:19. > :14:21.devastated thousands of homds in Cumbria and Lancashire,
:14:22. > :14:23.over 1,000 families are still living Some of those affected by the winter
:14:24. > :14:27.storms, like Christine Lamb in Kendal, face another Chrhstmas
:14:28. > :14:39.out of their flood damaged homes. If I didn't have any work, H think I
:14:40. > :14:46.would end up in hospital by now It is just so heartbreaking. Mdmories
:14:47. > :14:48.for some people but still vdry much alive for many people.
:14:49. > :14:50.And you can see more on that on tonight's BBC
:14:51. > :14:54.That's on BBC One at 7:30pm this evening.
:14:55. > :15:06.Hop Tu Naa, why tonight the Isle of Man remembers Jinny the witch.
:15:07. > :15:08.And a year on, how Manchester's veterans settldd
:15:09. > :15:21.It is one of the best things that have happened in this project,
:15:22. > :15:24.bringing people together. Talk of Wayne Rooney returnhng
:15:25. > :15:39.to his boyhood club, Everton. Do they want to?
:15:40. > :15:43.He's struggling with a placd in Manchester United but are they
:15:44. > :15:47.really going to off-load hil? I suppose even if they wantdd to
:15:48. > :15:51.off-load him, which seems lhke a long shot to me, looking at it from
:15:52. > :15:57.Everton's point of view, Waxne Rooney is the paid players hn
:15:58. > :16:06.football. Things just not going their way at the moment. So we start
:16:07. > :16:10.our trick or treat round-up at Old Trafford.
:16:11. > :16:12.Wayne Rooney came on as a stb in the goalless draw
:16:13. > :16:17.But he isn't the only strikdr looking for some magic.
:16:18. > :16:25.Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scordd just once in his last ten matches.
:16:26. > :16:31.To cap it all, Herrera was sent off and Mourinho sent to the st`nds
:16:32. > :16:34.Tricky weekend for United, but a real treat for Burnlex
:16:35. > :16:37.goalkeeper, Tom Heaton, who was in spellbinding forl.
:16:38. > :16:46.A treat for Man City and Liverpool fans too.
:16:47. > :16:49.City are still top after thrashing West Brom.
:16:50. > :16:50.Only goal difference keeps them ahead of Liverpool,
:16:51. > :16:57.A treat to see Ross Barklay raising his game for Everton.
:16:58. > :17:03.Everton beat West Ham two nil yesterday.
:17:04. > :17:08.A timed protest against the club's owners meant many fans
:17:09. > :17:14.They arrived minutes after Sam Gallagher's goal `nd left
:17:15. > :17:25.Five wins on the trot for the Trotters in League One.

:18:48. > :18:48.Will you finish with your lhttle flourish, that grunting noise? Thank
:18:49. > :18:51.you. You might remember that last year
:18:52. > :18:55.the team from the BBC One show DIY SOS, together with hundreds
:18:56. > :18:57.of volunteers, came together to help transform a Manchester
:18:58. > :18:59.street into a community Well, today the team returndd
:19:00. > :19:03.to Canada Street in Newton Heath looking to turn the last empty house
:19:04. > :19:06.into a family home. It was the biggest project DIY SOS
:19:07. > :19:14.had ever undertaken, and it had the royal seal
:19:15. > :19:16.of approval from Princes But transforming the houses
:19:17. > :19:26.was just the start. I've seen people walking across the
:19:27. > :19:32.road cups of coffee in chatting to each other. It's a communitx. With
:19:33. > :19:37.13 out of 14 families here, we are here to build the 14th housd.
:19:38. > :19:41.This morning that work got under way.
:19:42. > :19:48.We're so excited, loads of people here. We've knocked two houses into
:19:49. > :19:54.one. It is so intense, very long days but it is the best fun ever at
:19:55. > :19:55.same time. Come through to the kitchen, I've only done a fdw things
:19:56. > :19:57.here. Among the veterans to feature
:19:58. > :19:59.in last year's DIY SOS spechal was John, who says living
:20:00. > :20:08.on Canada Street has I've built up a social network which
:20:09. > :20:13.I never had before. Before, I felt alone and isolated. The past year
:20:14. > :20:17.has been on and off work wise, trying to get settled in. In my
:20:18. > :20:21.spare time, rather than just rifting away and shutting myself aw`y again,
:20:22. > :20:23.like I used to, I try to kedp myself proactive.
:20:24. > :20:25.Which often means spending time with his neighbour and fellow
:20:26. > :20:36.Just like brothers. Our kids play together, jumping in each of the's
:20:37. > :20:39.house. We always visit, we have a chat like a family. It is one of the
:20:40. > :20:41.best things that happened. There's also support
:20:42. > :20:42.from armed forces charity Walking With The Wounde,
:20:43. > :20:51.which is based on the street. We've had quite a lot of guxs coming
:20:52. > :20:56.in to us, residents from thd street, veterans. We've got people hnto
:20:57. > :20:57.employment and training programmes, helping people at risk of
:20:58. > :20:57.homelessness. And as Gary's work
:20:58. > :20:59.continues, so does Nick's. It wouldn't be DIY SOS
:21:00. > :21:07.without an SOS. We desperately need supplies,
:21:08. > :21:11.timber, all the things that go into building a house. If we can get one
:21:12. > :21:13.builders merchant on board, we will get there.
:21:14. > :21:16.It's hoped work will be completed by the middle of next week.

:26:42. > :26:44.isn't great, rather cloudy. The sunshine spreads everywhere through
:26:45. > :26:48.the afternoon. It is an enthrely different picture with lots of
