:00:00. > :00:09.Six people are killed as a tour bus carrying pilgrims from Manchester
:00:10. > :00:17.Obviously, it's a very bad time for the families
:00:18. > :00:23.One of those who died was a two-month-old baby.

:00:59. > :01:01.Four members of the same family from Manchester have been killed
:01:02. > :01:06.Among those killed is a two-month-old boy.
:01:07. > :01:09.They were on a pilgrimage and were travelling from Mecca
:01:10. > :01:14.Our correspondent Clare Fallon is live in South Manchester for us
:01:15. > :01:27.and there are tributes being paid this evening.
:01:28. > :01:33.They are. Really heartfelt tributes being paid this evening. I have been
:01:34. > :01:37.talking to some of the extended members of this family and I think
:01:38. > :01:41.it's fair to say that they are just absolutely struggling to come to
:01:42. > :01:45.terms with what has happened. They find it just unimaginable. They have
:01:46. > :01:50.been telling me that the relatives may have lost, they have been paying
:01:51. > :01:54.tremendous tribute to them. Exactly what happened is still not entirely
:01:55. > :02:00.clear but I will go through with you the details that we know. 12 members
:02:01. > :02:05.of this family were on this pilgrimage, most of them lived in
:02:06. > :02:08.Manchester although two of them lived in Glasgow. They were on this
:02:09. > :02:12.pilgrimage and were travelling from Mecca to Medina when the crash
:02:13. > :02:16.happened. They were all together in the same vehicle and as you
:02:17. > :02:20.mentioned, among the six people who have been killed, a baby just two
:02:21. > :02:31.months old called Adam. Also killed in this crash, two sisters as well
:02:32. > :02:33.as those who were killed, six people were injured. One of them is in a
:02:34. > :02:40.critical condition and among those people who have been injured is a
:02:41. > :02:44.woman who has lost her two-month-old child, the mother of Adam Angie has
:02:45. > :02:51.also lost both of her parents so this is an incredibly difficult
:02:52. > :02:53.thing to to be dealing with. Earlier, I spoke to the travel
:02:54. > :03:01.company through which the family booked this journey. They have been
:03:02. > :03:02.helping with their trouble. Well cured from Mohannad Arif.
:03:03. > :03:06.Obviously, it's a very bad time for the families
:03:07. > :03:09.Since last night, we were with the families.
:03:10. > :03:11.We were sharing their grief and we were
:03:12. > :03:19.trying to help them out with any they needed.
:03:20. > :03:24.So I think you get a sense there that as well as dealing with the
:03:25. > :03:27.emotional trauma this family is going through at the moment, there
:03:28. > :03:31.are also practicalities that they are dealing with and the most
:03:32. > :03:34.immediate members of the family are travelling out to Saudi Arabia this
:03:35. > :03:35.evening so they can be with their injured relatives. Thank you very
:03:36. > :03:42.much. She will have more at 10:25pm. A man in his 20s is in a stable
:03:43. > :03:45.condition after being It happened in Stockbridge
:03:46. > :03:47.village yesterday evening. Police believe the shooting
:03:48. > :03:49.was targeted, and have increased
:03:50. > :03:50.patrols in the area. Baroness Helen Newlove,
:03:51. > :03:53.whose husband Gary was killed outside their home in Warrington,
:03:54. > :03:56.is urging the Government to strengthen the rights
:03:57. > :03:59.of victims of crime. The Ministry of Justice says it
:04:00. > :04:02.will announce plans "in due course". Baroness Newlove says
:04:03. > :04:04.in the past year only 15% of victims had been given
:04:05. > :04:07.the opportunity to make a statement This review shows that enough
:04:08. > :04:14.is enough and I'm looking for the Government to ensure that victims
:04:15. > :04:17.have the rights that they truly deserve to give them respect
:04:18. > :04:21.and dignity and also the protection that they feel that their voices
:04:22. > :04:28.being listened to. One in six secondary
:04:29. > :04:30.schools in the North West That's according to new figures
:04:31. > :04:41.from the Department for Education. It is more than anywhere else in the
:04:42. > :04:42.country. More than one in eight young
:04:43. > :04:45.people are being taught in schools that haven't managed
:04:46. > :04:47.to meet new national standards. Ian Haslam has been looking at this
:04:48. > :04:51.in more detail and joins us now. Yes, these figures show that young
:04:52. > :04:54.people in our region are more likely than in any other
:04:55. > :04:57.part of the country. And three of the five
:04:58. > :04:59.worst-performing local authorities are in the North West -
:05:00. > :05:02.Halton, Oldham and, with the worst
:05:03. > :05:04.record in the country, Knowsley where every one
:05:05. > :05:07.of the borough's six secondary This was the reaction
:05:08. > :05:12.of parents today. Most of my son's class
:05:13. > :05:17.actually went out of borough I was proud of what they put
:05:18. > :05:25.my children through. The education seems
:05:26. > :05:27.very poor around here. Knowsley Council declined
:05:28. > :05:29.an interview but told us it's "naturally disappointed"
:05:30. > :05:33.and is already making changes. Four of the six secondary schools
:05:34. > :05:36.are now academies and it's recently invested a million pounds
:05:37. > :05:40.to establish an Education Commission That million pounds
:05:41. > :05:43.follows years of problems. Knowsley has long been
:05:44. > :05:45.one of the country's It has the country's
:05:46. > :05:49.worst GCSE results and, when this school stops offering
:05:50. > :05:53.A-level courses this year, it'll make it the only council
:05:54. > :05:55.area in England Our three worst performing
:05:56. > :06:00.areas are all Labour run authorities, but today
:06:01. > :06:02.the Shadow Education Secretary and MP for Ashton-under-Lyne told me
:06:03. > :06:07.Government failings were to blame. We really need to see class sizes
:06:08. > :06:10.reducing again We need good quality teaching
:06:11. > :06:14.and we need decent schools for all our kids, not just
:06:15. > :06:17.for those down south. But all the north-west's worst
:06:18. > :06:23.performing local authorities And they also had nearly half
:06:24. > :06:28.if not over half of their budgets, cut over this period.
:06:29. > :06:30.We asked the Department for Education for an interview.
:06:31. > :06:33.They declined, but say that over the last six years, the gap
:06:34. > :06:38.between disadvantaged pupils and others has narrowed.
:06:39. > :06:41.Let's talk about this further with Damian McNulty
:06:42. > :06:54.Thank you very much for joining us this evening. Why is the Northwest
:06:55. > :06:58.performing so badly in secondary schools? One of the first things to
:06:59. > :07:03.remember is that it's not as simple as just the new progress measure and
:07:04. > :07:08.a high degree of caution needs to be used. We need to think of the hard
:07:09. > :07:13.work and dedication not just of the young people but of the teachers as
:07:14. > :07:19.well. On top of that, there are some unique features within the Northwest
:07:20. > :07:23.that remain challenges for the communities in general. We have
:07:24. > :07:29.heard about social deprivation and I would echo the shadow Secretary of
:07:30. > :07:34.State's view on council funding. It is not unique in that though, is it?
:07:35. > :07:37.Other local authorities would say that their money is tight, they
:07:38. > :07:41.would also say that they have deprivation. It does not really
:07:42. > :07:46.explain why we have come out so badly. No, but we need to look at
:07:47. > :07:49.all the services and look at the educational provision on offer for
:07:50. > :07:53.children from preschool all the way through primary school and into
:07:54. > :07:58.secondary schools. There is no doubt that the councils in the north-west
:07:59. > :08:03.of England have faced a sustained, substantial cuts to services at all
:08:04. > :08:09.ages and supporters of our most vulnerable and most challenging
:08:10. > :08:12.areas. Some people would say that a failing school is purely down to
:08:13. > :08:20.feeling teaching, feeling readership. Well, I refer you back
:08:21. > :08:23.to the simplistic measure. The Northwest of England traditionally
:08:24. > :08:26.has trained many, many teachers more than is required in those teachers
:08:27. > :08:31.go across all of the UK. Many teachers across the Northwest have
:08:32. > :08:34.worked in challenging schools, go on to work on other more successful
:08:35. > :08:38.school so it's definitely not about the calibre of the teaching and
:08:39. > :08:42.learning, it is about those institutions that they work in, the
:08:43. > :08:46.schools, academies, allowing them to focus on their job of teaching and
:08:47. > :08:49.learning and not be focused on other workload intent issues that take
:08:50. > :08:54.away from adding that valued the young people they work with. Are you
:08:55. > :08:58.saying that reports like this, assessments like this are actually
:08:59. > :09:03.more of a hindrance than a help? They certainly can be. If we just
:09:04. > :09:06.judge schools on one simple measure and Knowsley schools from many years
:09:07. > :09:13.have had a bit of a kicking in terms of the academic progression. There
:09:14. > :09:17.are many historic reasons that are very complex that I'm happy to going
:09:18. > :09:22.to around a long legacy over 30 or 40 years of families and children
:09:23. > :09:25.going to traditional schools that those families would have known in
:09:26. > :09:31.the Liverpool area, St Helens area and many have stayed with that and
:09:32. > :09:37.those children tend to be those that attain highest at primary school
:09:38. > :09:40.results. Thank you very much for joining us this evening. You're very
:09:41. > :09:41.welcome. The North West Ambulance Service
:09:42. > :09:44.has been told it has to improve by the health
:09:45. > :09:46.watchdog, the CQC. Inspectors expressed concerns
:09:47. > :09:47.about staff shortages, particularly paramedics,
:09:48. > :09:49.and a lack of training The Trust says it's faced
:09:50. > :09:55.an extremely challenging year Our health correspondent
:09:56. > :10:07.Gill Dummigan reports. The president control room, one of
:10:08. > :10:11.three in the Northwest. Today, they'll deal with around 1100 calls
:10:12. > :10:15.and around 4000 across the three states. The most important thing to
:10:16. > :10:21.remember when you work in the control room is that at the end of
:10:22. > :10:26.every 999 col is a patient and one of our primary focuses in the
:10:27. > :10:31.initial training of staff is that everything has to be patient
:10:32. > :10:34.centric. The report found that the trust was effective and caring but
:10:35. > :10:38.it found that safety required improvement particularly when it
:10:39. > :10:43.came to emergency and urgent care. There were particular concerns with
:10:44. > :10:48.reporting of serious incidents and that some staff needed more training
:10:49. > :10:51.in safeguarding. Di CQC was can particularly concerned about the
:10:52. > :10:56.number of vacancies for Paris addicts at the time of the
:10:57. > :11:00.inspection nearly one in six posts will fill -- paramedics. They said
:11:01. > :11:05.this was causing too much strain on the paramedics who were working.
:11:06. > :11:09.There was no morale in some areas. A lot of the paramedics were working
:11:10. > :11:14.extra hours and overtime to compensate for the staff shortages.
:11:15. > :11:18.There was also reliance on community first responders to attend to
:11:19. > :11:23.emergency calls. The pressure is on the system are well documented. Long
:11:24. > :11:28.queues outside a and E and the last year at 999 calls have gone up by
:11:29. > :11:32.23%. There has been an increase pressure on staff. They have to go
:11:33. > :11:37.out and deal with more intensive tuition and experienced staff are
:11:38. > :11:40.leaving to find less pressurised and better paid jobs. The service as
:11:41. > :11:44.they accept the findings but they have already started solving the
:11:45. > :11:47.problems, particularly in recruitment. Already, they have
:11:48. > :11:53.taken on paramedics from Poland and Finland. We are not taking this
:11:54. > :11:55.lately and we are a learning organisation and the things that we
:11:56. > :11:59.have learned in this report we will be learning from and we have learned
:12:00. > :12:02.from and as I said earlier, we have actually corrected the bulk of them
:12:03. > :12:04.now and some of the things that are outstanding are things that cannot
:12:05. > :12:08.be solved immediately but we have plans to deal with them. This is one
:12:09. > :12:12.of the last of the ambulance trusts in England to be reported on. Of the
:12:13. > :12:18.nine so far rated, seven have been found wanting. Two seriously so. It
:12:19. > :12:21.is a challenging time for the service. The question is whether the
:12:22. > :12:24.response to that challenge can be improved.
:12:25. > :12:30.Overseas fans help make Manchester United the world's
:12:31. > :12:38.How the springador saved Betsy's life and why
:12:39. > :12:50.That might get a few people thinking.
:12:51. > :12:51.Will get some e-mails about that! The former Bishop of Liverpool says
:12:52. > :13:00.being made a Freeman of Liverpool Is being given in large part for his
:13:01. > :13:05.work on Hillsborough disaster. They should change chaired the
:13:06. > :13:09.independent panel. I'm sure you remember. But it also recognises as
:13:10. > :13:10.wider work. He has been speaking to our reporter Andy Gill.
:13:11. > :13:13.We spoke to Bishop James in the Lord Mayor's parlour
:13:14. > :13:15.at Liverpool Town Hall just ahead of the ceremony
:13:16. > :13:19.In 2012, he chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel.
:13:20. > :13:23.Its report led to new inquests for the 96 people
:13:24. > :13:29.Last year, the new jury decided the 96 had been
:13:30. > :13:32.I asked the bishop what's getting the freedom of
:13:33. > :13:44.It's a huge personal honour. Although, I suppose the great honour
:13:45. > :13:50.has been to serve the people of Liverpool for 15 years and
:13:51. > :13:53.especially the Hillsborough families and the survivors. You recently got
:13:54. > :13:57.a knighthood as well. How does that compare with the freedom of
:13:58. > :14:00.Liverpool? Well, in Liverpool, nothing compares to the freedom of
:14:01. > :14:06.the city of Liverpool! But it's quite interesting because the
:14:07. > :14:11.freedom of the city and, indeed, the United, they are ways of the
:14:12. > :14:16.community recognising the importance of what has been done and the
:14:17. > :14:20.families over the years have always believed that their struggle for
:14:21. > :14:26.truth and justice has not just been for themselves and the survivors,
:14:27. > :14:30.it's not just been for the city even, but it's actually been for the
:14:31. > :14:33.nation. But the award also recognises the bishop's other
:14:34. > :14:38.contributions to Liverpool. He chaired a regeneration panel in the
:14:39. > :14:44.Kensington district and was Bishop during the murders of Rhys Jones and
:14:45. > :14:48.Anthony Walker. One of the features of Liverpool is that when terrible
:14:49. > :14:55.things happen, people come together in extraordinary solidarity. We are
:14:56. > :15:00.talking about the influence you've had as a former bishop of Liverpool,
:15:01. > :15:04.but held the city changed you during your time is your? I remember one
:15:05. > :15:08.senior clergyman of the dioceses taking the aside just after I
:15:09. > :15:11.arrived and saying, Bishop, if you can't laugh at yourself, you'd
:15:12. > :15:17.better pack your bags and go. It was very good advice. And this tumour
:15:18. > :15:23.for which Liverpool and indeed the Hall of the Northwest is famous,
:15:24. > :15:29.this Schumer actually flows from the humanity of the place. There is an
:15:30. > :15:35.earthiness about Liverpool and as you open your hearts to people and
:15:36. > :15:39.they open your their heart to you, I was affected by that earthiness and
:15:40. > :15:43.that humour. The Bishop is now hosting a review of the Hillsborough
:15:44. > :15:49.families' experiences over the past 27 years.
:15:50. > :15:52.Many congratulations to Bishop James for receiving the freedom of the
:15:53. > :15:54.city. We wouldn't normally bring
:15:55. > :15:57.you a story about a council constructing a new entrance
:15:58. > :15:59.to one of its buildings, but the building in question -
:16:00. > :16:02.Preston's Harris Museum - is considered by many to be
:16:03. > :16:04.an architectural gem. The plans to change
:16:05. > :16:05.the Grade One-listed icon are being condemned as
:16:06. > :16:07.a "mutilation" by conservationists. Even if you've never been in it,
:16:08. > :16:12.you'll know it if you know Preston. Slap bang in the middle
:16:13. > :16:15.of the city, the Harris Museum. It's built in the same style
:16:16. > :16:18.as the British Museum, but where the British Museum
:16:19. > :16:21.is approached by a grand flight of steps, the entrance to the Harris
:16:22. > :16:27.is through a side door. There used to be a road here,
:16:28. > :16:30.so the architect couldn't put a flight of steps down
:16:31. > :16:32.from the museum The council believes
:16:33. > :16:35.that the foot of the It puts people off going inside,
:16:36. > :16:40.and they want to put a new entrance right here in the
:16:41. > :16:43.middle of that wall. Incidentally, in case
:16:44. > :16:45.you thought they'd already started building the new entrance,
:16:46. > :16:48.the crane blocking our view today But this gives you some idea
:16:49. > :16:54.of what the door would look like. A door in the front, some entrance
:16:55. > :16:57.in the front, would be one way of allowing greater access
:16:58. > :17:02.and would show to the rest of the city that the Harris
:17:03. > :17:05.was a welcoming place. Critics say the entrance
:17:06. > :17:10.would mutilate the classical facade. This is our city's
:17:11. > :17:15.finest work of art. It's like having the Mona Lisa
:17:16. > :17:17.and saying, "Here, that lass, "I'll take my felt tip out and just
:17:18. > :17:23.put a smile on her." The council's bidding
:17:24. > :17:27.for ?10 million of lottery money and the organisation that protects
:17:28. > :17:34.Grade One-listed buildings would still have to
:17:35. > :17:36.be approve the plan. It would be really good
:17:37. > :17:43.because now people have to go I mean, it's practical but then
:17:44. > :17:50.so are the side entrances. Yeah, it would spoil
:17:51. > :17:52.the building because it looks So I think people more my age
:17:53. > :17:58.would think, oh, what's that? Next step, the council
:17:59. > :18:16.will find out if it's won It is a stunning building though.
:18:17. > :18:17.It's got us talking, that's for sure.
:18:18. > :18:19.Sport now, and while Manchester United may be struggling
:18:20. > :18:21.to return to the pinnacle of the Premier League,
:18:22. > :18:23.they have returned to the top of football's rich list
:18:24. > :18:33.They last topped the table a decade ago, but last year they earned ?515
:18:34. > :18:37.million, more than Barcelona and Real Madrid. Manchester city are the
:18:38. > :18:40.fifth richest club in the world, Liverpool be ninth richest club in
:18:41. > :18:41.the world. What is about the Northwest? But it is United who are
:18:42. > :18:43.making the headlines. Manchester United haven't been
:18:44. > :18:46.the Premier League's number one since Sir Alex Ferguson's final
:18:47. > :18:49.season four years ago. But far from stalling,
:18:50. > :18:51.their commercial momentum And after a gap of over
:18:52. > :18:56.a decade, they're back something the industry's
:18:57. > :19:02.experts have seen coming. They realised that certainly with
:19:03. > :19:04.new media coming along that there were vast opportunities for the club
:19:05. > :19:08.to enhance the money which can be generated from fans,
:19:09. > :19:11.sponsors and so on. United's commercial growth is,
:19:12. > :19:14.of course driven by demand. They count their global fanbase
:19:15. > :19:17.in the hundreds of millions. As there always are, there
:19:18. > :19:20.are plenty of tourist fans And their big sponsors
:19:21. > :19:24.pay a heavy premium. Addidas - ?750 million
:19:25. > :19:28.over ten years. Chevrolet who are on the front
:19:29. > :19:31.of the shirts - just shy But it's the number of deals around
:19:32. > :19:39.the world that tips the balance, including seven mobile
:19:40. > :19:41.phone companies from Azerbejan to the
:19:42. > :19:46.Carribean and Nigeria, separate soft drinks
:19:47. > :19:49.partners in countries and even an official

:19:54. > :19:59.of the fact that United have all of these fans in all
:20:00. > :20:02.of these different countries and they've picked up individual

:20:18. > :20:21.remain expensive. Ten years before the
:20:22. > :20:24.takeover in real terms, Manchester United were top
:20:25. > :20:26.of the Deloitte league then and so we're just getting back
:20:27. > :20:28.after, you know, ten years
:20:29. > :20:30.of financial hardship. And with the current ?10 billion
:20:31. > :20:34.Premier League TV deal, there's no doubt they're working
:20:35. > :20:38.in a favourable financial climate. But it's also fair to say that
:20:39. > :20:41.United have been Jumping back to the top of the

:21:10. > :21:15.terminated the contract of winger Tom Arscott
:21:16. > :21:18.with immediate effect. It comes after Sale complained
:21:19. > :21:22.to the Rugby Football League that one of their players -
:21:23. > :21:24.believed to be Arscott - gave information to a former club
:21:25. > :21:38.before a match between the two. We have some guests in the studio.
:21:39. > :21:39.You may be about to see one of them as she walked past... There she is!
:21:40. > :21:41.They say dog's are a man's best friend.
:21:42. > :21:46.It was definitely the case for 21-month-old Betsy
:21:47. > :21:55.whose life was saved by a rescue dog called Rufus.
:21:56. > :21:59.I don't know who is cuter, ruthless or Betsy.
:22:00. > :22:02.Rufus was staying with Betsy and her mum Emily in Macclesfield.
:22:03. > :22:07.Rufus raced to the rescue and raised the alarm.
:22:08. > :22:12.Along with Emily, Betsy and Ann Lovell from the charity
:22:13. > :22:29.Rufus actually is not your dog, Emily. He is a foster dog. From
:22:30. > :22:35.Labradors in need. You were looking over the Reed after him. Tel was
:22:36. > :22:39.what happens. Betsy had not been very well and then Rufus came in and
:22:40. > :22:44.started polling at me and barking and then I followed him through and
:22:45. > :22:49.Betsy had been sick and so I managed to put her over so that she could be
:22:50. > :22:55.sick so she wasn't in any danger after that. But it was Rufus you
:22:56. > :23:00.raise the alarm. So he sensed something was wrong? Yes, even
:23:01. > :23:03.before the alarm went off on the baby monitor. He was already there
:23:04. > :23:09.letting us know that she wasn't very well. Brilliant.
:23:10. > :23:14.I have a little word of that, I've been too busy! Excuse me. And, Rufus
:23:15. > :23:20.is a cross between a springer spaniel and a Labrador. Are they
:23:21. > :23:28.good pets? Labrador cross make fantastic pets. They are a boil,
:23:29. > :23:32.great family dogs. Britain's top choice as far as a dog goes. We have
:23:33. > :23:37.quite a lot of people on our waiting list and we have some dogs still
:23:38. > :23:42.waiting for homes. We are going to put the website on screen in a
:23:43. > :23:47.minute because Rufus, as you just explains, can't stay with you. He is
:23:48. > :23:52.a foster dog. He stays with us through a short time until he finds
:23:53. > :23:58.his feet. And we do have two other dogs, our own dogs. Once he finds a
:23:59. > :24:03.forever home through the charity, labrador is in need, he will go to
:24:04. > :24:06.that forever home. Before when you came and spoke to us, it was
:24:07. > :24:10.astonishing, he was showing her so much attention and really looking
:24:11. > :24:14.after her. They have an amazing bond. I think they are feeding off
:24:15. > :24:17.each other so she is a bit insecure and then he will pick her up on the
:24:18. > :24:21.other way round. They are very close. She likes to walk on the lead
:24:22. > :24:27.and stuff. I think you can see pictures of them together. Before I
:24:28. > :24:31.got distracted by my new best friends, I was bringing up the
:24:32. > :24:36.website. People can get in touch and they can put themselves through the
:24:37. > :24:41.process to adopt a dog, but it is a proper process and Rufus is up
:24:42. > :24:45.adoption, isn't he? He is, along with some other dogs at the moment.
:24:46. > :24:50.We are a charity entirely run by volunteers will stop we don't have
:24:51. > :24:54.anyone employed by the charity, we all work. We are desperate in the
:24:55. > :24:59.North West particularly for foster homes like Emily. People took on
:25:00. > :25:04.track for us and people to adopt. Fundraiser, sponsor our dogs that
:25:05. > :25:09.are in long-term foster and as a charity... I'm worried she's going
:25:10. > :25:15.to fall off! She's fine. Thank you very much.
:25:16. > :25:18.Thank you Rufus. Thank you Betsy who is the star of the show.
:25:19. > :25:22.They say never work with animals and children!
:25:23. > :25:27.But we like to. We have already mopped a little puddle of the four
:25:28. > :25:32.you'll be pleased to note. Puddles, you know.
:25:33. > :25:39.My favourite thing is that everyone at home is going, all, isn't he
:25:40. > :25:45.gorgeous! And none of them mean you, Roger.
:25:46. > :25:49.We have been stuck in a rut weather-wise but things will start
:25:50. > :25:54.to change. Temperatures will start to fall away this weekend. The
:25:55. > :25:58.result is a reason for this in our reason is that the error is coming
:25:59. > :26:00.from the continent. That will start tonight and the more southern part
:26:01. > :26:05.of the region may start to see temperatures falling a little bit.
:26:06. > :26:08.Just a little bit. When we move into this pattern, an area of high
:26:09. > :26:13.pressure is going to drop the error from the continent. We are going to
:26:14. > :26:16.get stuck in this pattern so we have been in the mild air and we will
:26:17. > :26:19.stay in this pattern and it will take some time for that to change.
:26:20. > :26:22.If you have been looking for bright days, cooler days, that is what we
:26:23. > :26:26.are moving into. At the minutes, I'll about the cloud. The cloud is
:26:27. > :26:30.with us and you can see spots drizzly rain here and there. In the
:26:31. > :26:33.more southern parts of the region, in the early hours we may see a
:26:34. > :26:39.break in the cloud cover here and there so that may allow one or two
:26:40. > :26:43.places to go to two degrees but still the numbers for the most part
:26:44. > :26:46.are pretty good, five and six. First thing tomorrow morning, a lot of
:26:47. > :26:51.cloud cover. One or two spots of rain but from the south, here comes
:26:52. > :26:53.this clear whether moving into parts of the Midlands, Staffordshire and
:26:54. > :26:57.Cheshire and Merseyside. The sun could come out from many places as
:26:58. > :27:01.you head through the afternoon so some brighter skies here and there.
:27:02. > :27:04.Not for everyone but eventually, we will start to feel this cooler air
:27:05. > :27:09.coming in so while the numbers on the chart are six or 7 degrees, that
:27:10. > :27:12.may be at lunchtime and as the cool air comes in, things will start to
:27:13. > :27:16.chill off and tomorrow night there could be a frost in many places. As
:27:17. > :27:21.we go through the weekend, that'll be the pattern. Cold air coming in,
:27:22. > :27:24.not wall-to-wall sunshine but some brighter skies and not one is
:27:25. > :27:36.listening to a word I say! Were sorry. She was very good.
:27:37. > :27:39.And lots of people want to adopt Rufus.
:27:40. > :27:42.Rufus, you have been brilliant to! Thank you for watching, have a
:27:43. > :27:48.wonderful evening., bye-bye! Bye-bye!
