Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Six people are killed as a tour bus carrying pilgrims from Manchester | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Obviously, it's a very bad time for the families | :00:10. | :00:17. | |
One of those who died was a two-month-old baby. | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
New figures show we have more failing secondary | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Criticism for the North West Ambulance Service as health bosses | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
say its safety and leadership must be improved. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
How Rufus the rescue dog saved little Betsy's life. | :00:42. | :00:58. | |
Four members of the same family from Manchester have been killed | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Among those killed is a two-month-old boy. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
They were on a pilgrimage and were travelling from Mecca | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Our correspondent Clare Fallon is live in South Manchester for us | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
and there are tributes being paid this evening. | :01:15. | :01:27. | |
They are. Really heartfelt tributes being paid this evening. I have been | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
talking to some of the extended members of this family and I think | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
it's fair to say that they are just absolutely struggling to come to | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
terms with what has happened. They find it just unimaginable. They have | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
been telling me that the relatives may have lost, they have been paying | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
tremendous tribute to them. Exactly what happened is still not entirely | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
clear but I will go through with you the details that we know. 12 members | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
of this family were on this pilgrimage, most of them lived in | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Manchester although two of them lived in Glasgow. They were on this | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
pilgrimage and were travelling from Mecca to Medina when the crash | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
happened. They were all together in the same vehicle and as you | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
mentioned, among the six people who have been killed, a baby just two | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
months old called Adam. Also killed in this crash, two sisters as well | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
as those who were killed, six people were injured. One of them is in a | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
critical condition and among those people who have been injured is a | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
woman who has lost her two-month-old child, the mother of Adam Angie has | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
also lost both of her parents so this is an incredibly difficult | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
thing to to be dealing with. Earlier, I spoke to the travel | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
company through which the family booked this journey. They have been | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
helping with their trouble. Well cured from Mohannad Arif. | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
Obviously, it's a very bad time for the families | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Since last night, we were with the families. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
We were sharing their grief and we were | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
trying to help them out with any they needed. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
So I think you get a sense there that as well as dealing with the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
emotional trauma this family is going through at the moment, there | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
are also practicalities that they are dealing with and the most | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
immediate members of the family are travelling out to Saudi Arabia this | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
evening so they can be with their injured relatives. Thank you very | :03:35. | :03:35. | |
much. She will have more at 10:25pm. A man in his 20s is in a stable | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
condition after being It happened in Stockbridge | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
village yesterday evening. Police believe the shooting | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
was targeted, and have increased | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
patrols in the area. Baroness Helen Newlove, | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
whose husband Gary was killed outside their home in Warrington, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
is urging the Government to strengthen the rights | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
of victims of crime. The Ministry of Justice says it | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
will announce plans "in due course". Baroness Newlove says | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
in the past year only 15% of victims had been given | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
the opportunity to make a statement This review shows that enough | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
is enough and I'm looking for the Government to ensure that victims | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
have the rights that they truly deserve to give them respect | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
and dignity and also the protection that they feel that their voices | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
being listened to. One in six secondary | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
schools in the North West That's according to new figures | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
from the Department for Education. It is more than anywhere else in the | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
country. More than one in eight young | :04:42. | :04:42. | |
people are being taught in schools that haven't managed | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
to meet new national standards. Ian Haslam has been looking at this | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
in more detail and joins us now. Yes, these figures show that young | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
people in our region are more likely than in any other | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
part of the country. And three of the five | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
worst-performing local authorities are in the North West - | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Halton, Oldham and, with the worst | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
record in the country, Knowsley where every one | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
of the borough's six secondary This was the reaction | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
of parents today. Most of my son's class | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
actually went out of borough I was proud of what they put | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
my children through. The education seems | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
very poor around here. Knowsley Council declined | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
an interview but told us it's "naturally disappointed" | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
and is already making changes. Four of the six secondary schools | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
are now academies and it's recently invested a million pounds | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
to establish an Education Commission That million pounds | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
follows years of problems. Knowsley has long been | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
one of the country's It has the country's | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
worst GCSE results and, when this school stops offering | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
A-level courses this year, it'll make it the only council | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
area in England Our three worst performing | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
areas are all Labour run authorities, but today | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the Shadow Education Secretary and MP for Ashton-under-Lyne told me | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Government failings were to blame. We really need to see class sizes | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
reducing again We need good quality teaching | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
and we need decent schools for all our kids, not just | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
for those down south. But all the north-west's worst | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
performing local authorities And they also had nearly half | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
if not over half of their budgets, cut over this period. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
We asked the Department for Education for an interview. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
They declined, but say that over the last six years, the gap | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
between disadvantaged pupils and others has narrowed. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
Let's talk about this further with Damian McNulty | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Thank you very much for joining us this evening. Why is the Northwest | :06:42. | :06:54. | |
performing so badly in secondary schools? One of the first things to | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
remember is that it's not as simple as just the new progress measure and | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
a high degree of caution needs to be used. We need to think of the hard | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
work and dedication not just of the young people but of the teachers as | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
well. On top of that, there are some unique features within the Northwest | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
that remain challenges for the communities in general. We have | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
heard about social deprivation and I would echo the shadow Secretary of | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
State's view on council funding. It is not unique in that though, is it? | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Other local authorities would say that their money is tight, they | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
would also say that they have deprivation. It does not really | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
explain why we have come out so badly. No, but we need to look at | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
all the services and look at the educational provision on offer for | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
children from preschool all the way through primary school and into | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
secondary schools. There is no doubt that the councils in the north-west | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
of England have faced a sustained, substantial cuts to services at all | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
ages and supporters of our most vulnerable and most challenging | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
areas. Some people would say that a failing school is purely down to | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
feeling teaching, feeling readership. Well, I refer you back | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
to the simplistic measure. The Northwest of England traditionally | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
has trained many, many teachers more than is required in those teachers | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
go across all of the UK. Many teachers across the Northwest have | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
worked in challenging schools, go on to work on other more successful | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
school so it's definitely not about the calibre of the teaching and | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
learning, it is about those institutions that they work in, the | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
schools, academies, allowing them to focus on their job of teaching and | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
learning and not be focused on other workload intent issues that take | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
away from adding that valued the young people they work with. Are you | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
saying that reports like this, assessments like this are actually | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
more of a hindrance than a help? They certainly can be. If we just | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
judge schools on one simple measure and Knowsley schools from many years | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
have had a bit of a kicking in terms of the academic progression. There | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
are many historic reasons that are very complex that I'm happy to going | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
to around a long legacy over 30 or 40 years of families and children | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
going to traditional schools that those families would have known in | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
the Liverpool area, St Helens area and many have stayed with that and | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
those children tend to be those that attain highest at primary school | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
results. Thank you very much for joining us this evening. You're very | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
welcome. The North West Ambulance Service | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
has been told it has to improve by the health | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
watchdog, the CQC. Inspectors expressed concerns | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
about staff shortages, particularly paramedics, | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
and a lack of training The Trust says it's faced | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
an extremely challenging year Our health correspondent | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
Gill Dummigan reports. The president control room, one of | :09:56. | :10:07. | |
three in the Northwest. Today, they'll deal with around 1100 calls | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
and around 4000 across the three states. The most important thing to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
remember when you work in the control room is that at the end of | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
every 999 col is a patient and one of our primary focuses in the | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
initial training of staff is that everything has to be patient | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
centric. The report found that the trust was effective and caring but | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
it found that safety required improvement particularly when it | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
came to emergency and urgent care. There were particular concerns with | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
reporting of serious incidents and that some staff needed more training | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
in safeguarding. Di CQC was can particularly concerned about the | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
number of vacancies for Paris addicts at the time of the | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
inspection nearly one in six posts will fill -- paramedics. They said | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
this was causing too much strain on the paramedics who were working. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
There was no morale in some areas. A lot of the paramedics were working | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
extra hours and overtime to compensate for the staff shortages. | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
There was also reliance on community first responders to attend to | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
emergency calls. The pressure is on the system are well documented. Long | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
queues outside a and E and the last year at 999 calls have gone up by | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
23%. There has been an increase pressure on staff. They have to go | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
out and deal with more intensive tuition and experienced staff are | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
leaving to find less pressurised and better paid jobs. The service as | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
they accept the findings but they have already started solving the | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
problems, particularly in recruitment. Already, they have | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
taken on paramedics from Poland and Finland. We are not taking this | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
lately and we are a learning organisation and the things that we | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
have learned in this report we will be learning from and we have learned | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
from and as I said earlier, we have actually corrected the bulk of them | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
now and some of the things that are outstanding are things that cannot | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
be solved immediately but we have plans to deal with them. This is one | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
of the last of the ambulance trusts in England to be reported on. Of the | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
nine so far rated, seven have been found wanting. Two seriously so. It | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
is a challenging time for the service. The question is whether the | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
response to that challenge can be improved. | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Overseas fans help make Manchester United the world's | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
How the springador saved Betsy's life and why | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
That might get a few people thinking. | :12:39. | :12:50. | |
Will get some e-mails about that! The former Bishop of Liverpool says | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
being made a Freeman of Liverpool Is being given in large part for his | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
work on Hillsborough disaster. They should change chaired the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
independent panel. I'm sure you remember. But it also recognises as | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
wider work. He has been speaking to our reporter Andy Gill. | :13:10. | :13:10. | |
We spoke to Bishop James in the Lord Mayor's parlour | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
at Liverpool Town Hall just ahead of the ceremony | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
In 2012, he chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Its report led to new inquests for the 96 people | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Last year, the new jury decided the 96 had been | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
I asked the bishop what's getting the freedom of | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
It's a huge personal honour. Although, I suppose the great honour | :13:33. | :13:44. | |
has been to serve the people of Liverpool for 15 years and | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
especially the Hillsborough families and the survivors. You recently got | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
a knighthood as well. How does that compare with the freedom of | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Liverpool? Well, in Liverpool, nothing compares to the freedom of | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
the city of Liverpool! But it's quite interesting because the | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
freedom of the city and, indeed, the United, they are ways of the | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
community recognising the importance of what has been done and the | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
families over the years have always believed that their struggle for | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
truth and justice has not just been for themselves and the survivors, | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
it's not just been for the city even, but it's actually been for the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
nation. But the award also recognises the bishop's other | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
contributions to Liverpool. He chaired a regeneration panel in the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Kensington district and was Bishop during the murders of Rhys Jones and | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Anthony Walker. One of the features of Liverpool is that when terrible | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
things happen, people come together in extraordinary solidarity. We are | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
talking about the influence you've had as a former bishop of Liverpool, | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
but held the city changed you during your time is your? I remember one | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
senior clergyman of the dioceses taking the aside just after I | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
arrived and saying, Bishop, if you can't laugh at yourself, you'd | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
better pack your bags and go. It was very good advice. And this tumour | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
for which Liverpool and indeed the Hall of the Northwest is famous, | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
this Schumer actually flows from the humanity of the place. There is an | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
earthiness about Liverpool and as you open your hearts to people and | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
they open your their heart to you, I was affected by that earthiness and | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
that humour. The Bishop is now hosting a review of the Hillsborough | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
families' experiences over the past 27 years. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
Many congratulations to Bishop James for receiving the freedom of the | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
city. We wouldn't normally bring | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
you a story about a council constructing a new entrance | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
to one of its buildings, but the building in question - | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
Preston's Harris Museum - is considered by many to be | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
an architectural gem. The plans to change | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
the Grade One-listed icon are being condemned as | :16:05. | :16:05. | |
a "mutilation" by conservationists. Even if you've never been in it, | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
you'll know it if you know Preston. Slap bang in the middle | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
of the city, the Harris Museum. It's built in the same style | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
as the British Museum, but where the British Museum | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
is approached by a grand flight of steps, the entrance to the Harris | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
is through a side door. There used to be a road here, | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
so the architect couldn't put a flight of steps down | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
from the museum The council believes | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
that the foot of the It puts people off going inside, | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
and they want to put a new entrance right here in the | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
middle of that wall. Incidentally, in case | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
you thought they'd already started building the new entrance, | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
the crane blocking our view today But this gives you some idea | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
of what the door would look like. A door in the front, some entrance | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
in the front, would be one way of allowing greater access | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
and would show to the rest of the city that the Harris | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
was a welcoming place. Critics say the entrance | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
would mutilate the classical facade. This is our city's | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
finest work of art. It's like having the Mona Lisa | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
and saying, "Here, that lass, "I'll take my felt tip out and just | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
put a smile on her." The council's bidding | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
for ?10 million of lottery money and the organisation that protects | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Grade One-listed buildings would still have to | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
be approve the plan. It would be really good | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
because now people have to go I mean, it's practical but then | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
so are the side entrances. Yeah, it would spoil | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
the building because it looks So I think people more my age | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
would think, oh, what's that? Next step, the council | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
will find out if it's won It is a stunning building though. | :17:59. | :18:16. | |
It's got us talking, that's for sure. | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
Sport now, and while Manchester United may be struggling | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
to return to the pinnacle of the Premier League, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
they have returned to the top of football's rich list | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
They last topped the table a decade ago, but last year they earned ?515 | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
million, more than Barcelona and Real Madrid. Manchester city are the | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
fifth richest club in the world, Liverpool be ninth richest club in | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
the world. What is about the Northwest? But it is United who are | :18:41. | :18:41. | |
making the headlines. Manchester United haven't been | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
the Premier League's number one since Sir Alex Ferguson's final | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
season four years ago. But far from stalling, | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
their commercial momentum And after a gap of over | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
a decade, they're back something the industry's | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
experts have seen coming. They realised that certainly with | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
new media coming along that there were vast opportunities for the club | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
to enhance the money which can be generated from fans, | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
sponsors and so on. United's commercial growth is, | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
of course driven by demand. They count their global fanbase | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
in the hundreds of millions. As there always are, there | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
are plenty of tourist fans And their big sponsors | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
pay a heavy premium. Addidas - ?750 million | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
over ten years. Chevrolet who are on the front | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
of the shirts - just shy But it's the number of deals around | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
the world that tips the balance, including seven mobile | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
phone companies from Azerbejan to the | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
Carribean and Nigeria, separate soft drinks | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
partners in countries and even an official | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
motorcycle brand for Thailand. They've taken advantage | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
of the fact that United have all of these fans in all | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
of these different countries and they've picked up individual | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
sponsors in individual countries and that allowed them to negotiate deals | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
and be very successful and exactly The unerring drive | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
for commercial supremacy gives United unrivalled spending power | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
in the transfer market. But tickets and merchandise | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
remain expensive. Ten years before the | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
takeover in real terms, Manchester United were top | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
of the Deloitte league then and so we're just getting back | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
after, you know, ten years | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
of financial hardship. And with the current ?10 billion | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
Premier League TV deal, there's no doubt they're working | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
in a favourable financial climate. But it's also fair to say that | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
United have been Jumping back to the top of the | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
league. Staying with football | :20:42. | :20:53. | |
and Liverpool finally overcame League Two Plymouth Argyle | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
to progress Manager Jurgen Klopp | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
fielded another young side despite the criticism he received | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
after the initial tie at Anfield. 30-year-old Lucas Leiva | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
scored the only goal, his first in seven years, | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
to set up a fourth round In rugby union, Sale Sharks have | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
terminated the contract of winger Tom Arscott | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
with immediate effect. It comes after Sale complained | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
to the Rugby Football League that one of their players - | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
believed to be Arscott - gave information to a former club | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
before a match between the two. We have some guests in the studio. | :21:25. | :21:38. | |
You may be about to see one of them as she walked past... There she is! | :21:39. | :21:39. | |
They say dog's are a man's best friend. | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
It was definitely the case for 21-month-old Betsy | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
whose life was saved by a rescue dog called Rufus. | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
I don't know who is cuter, ruthless or Betsy. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Rufus was staying with Betsy and her mum Emily in Macclesfield. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
Rufus raced to the rescue and raised the alarm. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Along with Emily, Betsy and Ann Lovell from the charity | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Rufus actually is not your dog, Emily. He is a foster dog. From | :22:13. | :22:29. | |
Labradors in need. You were looking over the Reed after him. Tel was | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
what happens. Betsy had not been very well and then Rufus came in and | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
started polling at me and barking and then I followed him through and | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
Betsy had been sick and so I managed to put her over so that she could be | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
sick so she wasn't in any danger after that. But it was Rufus you | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
raise the alarm. So he sensed something was wrong? Yes, even | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
before the alarm went off on the baby monitor. He was already there | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
letting us know that she wasn't very well. Brilliant. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
I have a little word of that, I've been too busy! Excuse me. And, Rufus | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
is a cross between a springer spaniel and a Labrador. Are they | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
good pets? Labrador cross make fantastic pets. They are a boil, | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
great family dogs. Britain's top choice as far as a dog goes. We have | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
quite a lot of people on our waiting list and we have some dogs still | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
waiting for homes. We are going to put the website on screen in a | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
minute because Rufus, as you just explains, can't stay with you. He is | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
a foster dog. He stays with us through a short time until he finds | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
his feet. And we do have two other dogs, our own dogs. Once he finds a | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
forever home through the charity, labrador is in need, he will go to | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
that forever home. Before when you came and spoke to us, it was | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
astonishing, he was showing her so much attention and really looking | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
after her. They have an amazing bond. I think they are feeding off | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
each other so she is a bit insecure and then he will pick her up on the | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
other way round. They are very close. She likes to walk on the lead | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
and stuff. I think you can see pictures of them together. Before I | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
got distracted by my new best friends, I was bringing up the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
website. People can get in touch and they can put themselves through the | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
process to adopt a dog, but it is a proper process and Rufus is up | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
adoption, isn't he? He is, along with some other dogs at the moment. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
We are a charity entirely run by volunteers will stop we don't have | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
anyone employed by the charity, we all work. We are desperate in the | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
North West particularly for foster homes like Emily. People took on | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
track for us and people to adopt. Fundraiser, sponsor our dogs that | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
are in long-term foster and as a charity... I'm worried she's going | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
to fall off! She's fine. Thank you very much. | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
Thank you Rufus. Thank you Betsy who is the star of the show. | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
They say never work with animals and children! | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
But we like to. We have already mopped a little puddle of the four | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
you'll be pleased to note. Puddles, you know. | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
My favourite thing is that everyone at home is going, all, isn't he | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
gorgeous! And none of them mean you, Roger. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
We have been stuck in a rut weather-wise but things will start | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
to change. Temperatures will start to fall away this weekend. The | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
result is a reason for this in our reason is that the error is coming | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
from the continent. That will start tonight and the more southern part | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
of the region may start to see temperatures falling a little bit. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Just a little bit. When we move into this pattern, an area of high | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
pressure is going to drop the error from the continent. We are going to | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
get stuck in this pattern so we have been in the mild air and we will | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
stay in this pattern and it will take some time for that to change. | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
If you have been looking for bright days, cooler days, that is what we | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
are moving into. At the minutes, I'll about the cloud. The cloud is | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
with us and you can see spots drizzly rain here and there. In the | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
more southern parts of the region, in the early hours we may see a | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
break in the cloud cover here and there so that may allow one or two | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
places to go to two degrees but still the numbers for the most part | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
are pretty good, five and six. First thing tomorrow morning, a lot of | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
cloud cover. One or two spots of rain but from the south, here comes | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
this clear whether moving into parts of the Midlands, Staffordshire and | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
Cheshire and Merseyside. The sun could come out from many places as | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
you head through the afternoon so some brighter skies here and there. | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
Not for everyone but eventually, we will start to feel this cooler air | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
coming in so while the numbers on the chart are six or 7 degrees, that | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
may be at lunchtime and as the cool air comes in, things will start to | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
chill off and tomorrow night there could be a frost in many places. As | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
we go through the weekend, that'll be the pattern. Cold air coming in, | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
not wall-to-wall sunshine but some brighter skies and not one is | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
listening to a word I say! Were sorry. She was very good. | :27:25. | :27:36. | |
And lots of people want to adopt Rufus. | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
Rufus, you have been brilliant to! Thank you for watching, have a | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
wonderful evening., bye-bye! Bye-bye! | :27:43. | :27:48. |
