:01:41. > :01:45.Secretary, and today on day 1, we heard some serious criticisms of the
:01:46. > :01:49.police operation. We heard about problems with the competency of some

:02:14. > :02:18.5 years on, was what happened here and why remains unclear. The aim of
:02:19. > :02:26.this enquiry is to answer the unanswered questions. Arriving for
:02:27. > :02:30.the start of the enquiry, Anthony Granger's family. They have lobbied
:02:31. > :02:34.for this for years and they have now heard about feelings in the days
:02:35. > :02:37.operation. The enquiry was told that almost all the officers did not have
:02:38. > :02:53.the right the hearing was also told about
:02:54. > :02:58.serious criticisms by the police watchdog which found that out of
:02:59. > :03:01.date intelligence was used and officers were briefed with
:03:02. > :03:05.inaccurate information. But even though this is a public enquiry,
:03:06. > :03:11.Anthony Granger's family won't hear everything. 15 witnesses will be
:03:12. > :03:16.allowed to give evidence behind closed doors. It's a natural feeling
:03:17. > :03:22.that it is quite frustrating that I'm not going to hear the evidence.
:03:23. > :03:25.My legal team will. Judges made that ruling. If it is made part of the
:03:26. > :03:31.public enquiry, we just have to get on with it. I just want the answers.
:03:32. > :03:36.I want to find out why he isn't here any more. When Anthony Granger was
:03:37. > :03:41.shot dead, he was the subject of a surveillance operation. It was
:03:42. > :03:45.thought he was planning armed robberies, but his Congress is

:04:11. > :04:15.evidence about why he opened fire. This is not going to be a quick
:04:16. > :04:21.process. We were told today on day 1 that during the course of this
:04:22. > :04:25.enquiry we will hear from 17 witnesses during open hearings, and

:05:06. > :05:15.1 MP described it to me as if we were sat on a train knowing we were
:05:16. > :05:19.leaving the single market, now the train has started moving. 47% of our
:05:20. > :05:24.trading in west is to the single market, though there has been a
:05:25. > :05:31.mixed reaction. Some say this issue is a significant clarity that means
:05:32. > :05:37.we can move forward. Others say it is brilliant, we're open for
:05:38. > :05:40.business. Lots of MPs are quite sceptical, many of them have said to
:05:41. > :05:49.me that what they would have liked to have seen is more details on a
:05:50. > :05:53.trading deal -- trading deal. And worried about the decisions that had
:05:54. > :05:57.been announced today. Parliament has to hope this Government's feet to
:05:58. > :06:03.the fire. They need to get the best deal for Britain. There has been
:06:04. > :06:08.some fear that the voices of the Northwest and not going to be heard
:06:09. > :06:12.in this debate. What came as an today it was a promise that the
:06:13. > :06:18.Northwest could have more of a say. After 3 is a's speech, the

:06:31. > :06:36.there is no mention of the Northwest of England or any English region. I
:06:37. > :06:40.am acutely conscious of the needs of the north. What I am intending to
:06:41. > :06:47.do, had intended to announce that, but I well know. After the mayoral
:06:48. > :06:55.elections, and will get all of the mayors to talk about precisely that.
:06:56. > :06:59.A knot of satisfaction. Remember the timescales involved. 2 years before

:09:28. > :09:31.Yeah, we're really upset. You don't think it is
:09:32. > :09:38.going to happen to you. Two men who lived in the end

:13:17. > :13:17.project outside London is here in the North West -
:13:18. > :13:21.and it's due to open in the autumn. The Mersey Gateway bridge
:13:22. > :13:25.costs ?600 million - and is designed to relieve

:13:30. > :13:41.along to take a look. Through the mist, a colossal
:13:42. > :13:44.construction is taking shape. The Mersey Gateway bridge will span a
:13:45. > :13:49.kilometre across the water, making it 1 of the biggest bridges in the
:13:50. > :13:54.country. In total, 9 kilometres of breads are connecting roads are
:13:55. > :13:58.being built. The new bridge is needed because the Silver Jubilee
:13:59. > :14:04.Bridges currently take on 10 times more traffic than it was built for.
:14:05. > :14:11.In the project is advancing really well. A great amount of work has
:14:12. > :14:18.been done. Prior to that, there was a lot of can -- temporary work.
:14:19. > :14:22.People can now see the bridge starting to take shape. Such a
:14:23. > :14:28.large-scale project hasn't come without its challenges. This was the
:14:29. > :14:33.moment the flammable chemical phosphorus was discovered when he
:14:34. > :14:38.was when digging on the site. When the excavation till was coming back
:14:39. > :14:42.to the surface, it's about some of the Earth but it also throughout
:14:43. > :14:49.material that started combusting and lots of white smoke emerged. We had
:14:50. > :14:53.to bring in a civilian arm of a bomb disposal company so that they can
:14:54. > :14:57.move it safely. The scale of the scheme means that up to 1000 people
:14:58. > :15:05.can be working across the site on any day. Baulk as the country goes,
:15:06. > :15:13.the concrete is vibrated to make sure we get the air out of it and is
:15:14. > :15:18.compacted and then we bring it up in a planned process to ensure that the
:15:19. > :15:24.whole span is in balance. This is how the finished bridge will look.
:15:25. > :15:31.It is a long road ahead. It is said that the bridges on schedule.

:16:18. > :16:19.Standing in Fleetwood's way are Bristol City.

:16:39. > :16:42.weather for football, maybe not much for the spectators but for the
:16:43. > :16:49.players. What an opportunity for us and a great chance, we relish the
:16:50. > :16:53.fact that we play against a championship team. We did really
:16:54. > :16:57.well in the first game and it is another opportunity for us to show
:16:58. > :17:02.what we can do and learn. It could be a bit of tests this tonight but
:17:03. > :17:07.you are also going for promotion. This has been a tremendous run in
:17:08. > :17:11.the last couple of months. Edwards will read you had that from. We are
:17:12. > :17:17.doing pretty well but we're not changing our targets. We want to get
:17:18. > :17:24.50 points and then see what is possible and the league this season.
:17:25. > :17:29.And the cup, the we have only got two times so far and syndrome so we
:17:30. > :17:32.have the chance to make history. We just lots against Leeds and the
:17:33. > :17:37.other good team so we are going quite strong, be missing if you
:17:38. > :17:44.clear is that it is an opportunity for other players to show. And you
:17:45. > :17:51.are enjoying it at the club? Definitely. I was looking for this
:17:52. > :17:54.sort of challenge, I have a chairman who understands football and
:17:55. > :17:58.understand he can't shift of the targets we can recount so we are
:17:59. > :18:00.stable, we know what we have to achieve and the chairman is very
:18:01. > :18:02.knowledgeable about football and very supportive and that is what I
