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

of the fact that United have all of these fans in all

remain expensive. Ten years before the

takeover in real terms, Manchester United were top

of the Deloitte league then and so we're just getting back

after, you know, ten years

:20:27.:20:28.

of financial hardship. And with the current ?10 billion

in a favourable financial climate. But it's also fair to say that

terminated the contract of winger Tom Arscott

with immediate effect. It comes after Sale complained

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.
