Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson.

:00:00.:00:00.

Experts warn the Ellesmere Port factory could close if Vauxhall's

:00:07.:00:10.

bought by the French firm that owns Peugeot.

:00:11.:00:16.

It will just move abroad, maybe. There'll be no jobs. It will cause

:00:17.:00:27.

job losses. We ask an expert if the deal is likely to happen.

:00:28.:00:28.

We ask an expert if the deal is likely to happen.

:00:29.:00:30.

Also tonight: The first British woman to fight IS,

:00:31.:00:33.

she tells us her parents in Blackburn are

:00:34.:00:35.

Anger as traditional school nurses are axed across Cumbria -

:00:36.:00:38.

head teachers say it'll put children at risk.

:00:39.:00:40.

And re-discovered, the film that's bringing back memories of schoolboy

:00:41.:00:43.

The future of the Ellesmere Port car plant and its 2,000 workers will be

:00:44.:01:00.

in serious doubt if Vauxhall is bought by the French

:01:01.:01:02.

That's the opinion of a number of motor industry experts

:01:03.:01:08.

We'll be hearing from one of them in a minute,

:01:09.:01:13.

but first Andy Gill reports on the concerns being

:01:14.:01:15.

expressed by the trade unions and the local MP.

:01:16.:01:17.

News emerged last night that talks are going had. Here's an Merseyside

:01:18.:01:26.

Here's an Merseyside reporter, Andy Gill.

:01:27.:01:28.

They make Astra is Ellesmere Port, it's part of General Motors.

:01:29.:01:30.

And it's in talk with the group that owns Peugeot and Citroen, a group

:01:31.:01:34.

One possibility is Peugeot buying Vauxhall, but union officials here

:01:35.:01:40.

told me today that the British government mustn't sit on the fence,

:01:41.:01:43.

and must get involved to protect British jobs.

:01:44.:01:46.

A call backed by the union nationally.

:01:47.:01:51.

Anybody that's buying us needs to commit

:01:52.:01:55.

themselves, and give guarantees for our member's

:01:56.:01:57.

Most of the Astros made here are four exporter.

:01:58.:02:05.

Made with components imported from Europe.

:02:06.:02:09.

Raising questions about what a takeover could mean after Brexit.

:02:10.:02:13.

One industry expert we spoke to today believes Ellesmere Port

:02:14.:02:16.

could be vulnerable because of its

:02:17.:02:18.

geographical isolation, compared to the rest

:02:19.:02:21.

of mainland Europe, and

:02:22.:02:23.

because if the takeover did go ahead Peugeot would have enough capacity

:02:24.:02:26.

on mainland Europe to produce the number of low-cost cars it would

:02:27.:02:29.

I want to make it very clear to Peugeot, if they do

:02:30.:02:38.

become the owners of the Vauxhall and GM brands in Europe, that we

:02:39.:02:41.

have a great operation here, we've got a very big car market,

:02:42.:02:46.

and they would be foolish to forget about

:02:47.:02:48.

that when the looking at their future plans.

:02:49.:02:52.

In Ellesmere Port tonight some concern about the

:02:53.:02:54.

I think it will just move abroad, maybe.

:02:55.:02:57.

Peugeot and General Motors say a sale is not assured.

:02:58.:03:08.

Andy Gill, BBC North West Tonight, Ellesmere Port.

:03:09.:03:14.

Earlier I spoke to the motor industry expert

:03:15.:03:16.

I asked him how serious the threat is to Ellesmere Port.

:03:17.:03:21.

If it does happen then I have real fears

:03:22.:03:29.

about the future of the plants in the UK.

:03:30.:03:31.

Peugeot, Citroen, will look to cut costs.

:03:32.:03:33.

It will be inevitable, I think, that they will be planned

:03:34.:03:36.

closures as a result of the deal, and despite the fact that plans in

:03:37.:03:39.

the UK, including Ellesmere Port an efficient, it's easy

:03:40.:03:42.

There is huge uncertainty over our relationship with Brexit.

:03:43.:03:48.

I have real fears about the future in

:03:49.:03:50.

Let's explore those two points you just made.

:03:51.:03:54.

Why is it easier to fire workers in the UK

:03:55.:03:57.

If a car company is looking to close plants, it's

:03:58.:04:02.

easier to fire workers in the UK than elsewhere because we have very

:04:03.:04:06.

flexible labour markets, which is good in creating jobs,

:04:07.:04:09.

but also very efficient in destroying them as

:04:10.:04:11.

That's something we are learning to live with at the moment.

:04:12.:04:17.

I think one of the effects of Brexit is that

:04:18.:04:22.

there is huge uncertainty over our future trading relationship with

:04:23.:04:24.

Europe, whether we be in the single market or even in the customs union.

:04:25.:04:27.

In those circumstances, if Peugeot was takeover General Motors,

:04:28.:04:31.

that uncertainty would count against

:04:32.:04:34.

plants in the UK, as to whether to keep production here.

:04:35.:04:37.

One of the reasons that people said they wanted

:04:38.:04:39.

Brexit in the first place was to take back control.

:04:40.:04:41.

Could Ellesmere Port, as a site, as a skilled

:04:42.:04:44.

workforce, not helped to drive a renaissance in the British car

:04:45.:04:47.

We've already seen a renaissance in the British car

:04:48.:04:53.

industry in terms of assembly in recent years.

:04:54.:04:56.

Since 2010 output has been up by something like 70%,

:04:57.:05:00.

there's been a wave of investment in the industry.

:05:01.:05:04.

In terms of actual production, and we've seen more

:05:05.:05:06.

Going forward, what do we want to see to

:05:07.:05:11.

maintain production in Ellesmere Port?

:05:12.:05:14.

Firstly, some assurances about production in the UK, but also we

:05:15.:05:17.

need to nail down the certainty about a future trade relationship

:05:18.:05:20.

And in addition I think we need a big effort

:05:21.:05:24.

terms of industrial strategy to encourage more sourcing of

:05:25.:05:28.

components from the UK to rebuild supply chains here.

:05:29.:05:31.

Professor David Bailey, thank you very much indeed.

:05:32.:05:33.

UKIP leader Paul Nuttall has decided his press officer doesn't

:05:34.:05:38.

need to resign after she took responsibility for wrongly saying

:05:39.:05:41.

he'd lost close personal friends in the Hillsborough disaster.

:05:42.:05:46.

The North West MEP said he was appalled and very sorry

:05:47.:05:50.

about the misleading claims published on his website.

:05:51.:05:53.

His press officer Lynda Roughly offered to quit, but he's

:05:54.:05:56.

An experienced racer was killed when his front tyre bursts during

:05:57.:06:12.

practice for the race last June. The man from Drescher died from multiple

:06:13.:06:17.

injuries. He lost control of his motorbike and the coroner recorded a

:06:18.:06:20.

Figures out today show there's a record number of women

:06:21.:06:23.

An extra 60,000 women joined the workforce in the past year

:06:24.:06:27.

Unemployment in the region went down by 7,000 in the last

:06:28.:06:31.

quarter to 180,000, that's 5% of the region's workforce.

:06:32.:06:50.

A woman from Lancashire who's fighting against the so called

:06:51.:06:52.

Islamic State in Syria has told the BBC it s her

:06:53.:06:54.

Kimberley Taylor, who's 27, has joined Kurdish forces in Raqqa.

:06:55.:06:58.

She says warnings that she could be arrested and charged

:06:59.:07:00.

when she returns to the UK don't worry her, and she's not

:07:01.:07:03.

This from our social affairs correspondent Clare Fallon.

:07:04.:07:07.

Kimberly Taylor says she doesn't want to die,

:07:08.:07:09.

I feel like it's my responsibility to stand up to this.

:07:10.:07:18.

On the front line in the fight against the so-called Islamic State,

:07:19.:07:21.

she joined the Kurdish women's protection units, known

:07:22.:07:23.

Having grown up in Darwin, and studied maths in Liverpool,

:07:24.:07:26.

here she has learned how to use weapons.

:07:27.:07:30.

She says her parents are scared for her, but also proud.

:07:31.:07:34.

When I joined, and I told them that I'd joined, they cried.

:07:35.:07:38.

And then I explained what is the Y P J.

:07:39.:07:46.

What is an ideology and why we need to fight.

:07:47.:07:49.

Why do I need to join and be understood.

:07:50.:07:53.

And they said that if this is something I believe in,

:07:54.:07:55.

Thought to be the first woman from the UK to reach Syria to join

:07:56.:08:01.

the fight against IS the British government warns anyone who travels

:08:02.:08:04.

to Iraq or Syria to fight for either side risks prosecution

:08:05.:08:09.

I don't accept the government's opinion on this.

:08:10.:08:16.

To be honest, I don't accept very much from the government at all.

:08:17.:08:20.

Nobody believes in the government anymore.

:08:21.:08:22.

Nobody believes in the political system of Britain anymore.

:08:23.:08:27.

So, when the British government wants to tell me

:08:28.:08:35.

that I'm a terrorist, or I shouldn't come

:08:36.:08:37.

For now Kimberly Taylor says she has no plans to come home.

:08:38.:08:43.

Claire Fallon, BBC North West Tonight.

:08:44.:08:50.

Apologies for the slightly crackly sound on those clips.

:08:51.:08:59.

A Cheshire man has been recalling the day he shot and killed a friend

:09:00.:09:03.

Arran Coghlan told an inquest he had to fight for his life

:09:04.:09:07.

when Stephen Akinyemi pulled out a gun and knife at his luxury

:09:08.:09:10.

Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has been following today's evidence.

:09:11.:09:18.

Only two men know what happened inside this converted chapel at one

:09:19.:09:26.

fateful February day in 2010. One, Stephen Akinyemi is dead, the ever,

:09:27.:09:32.

Arran Coghlan, says he shot him in self defence. Arran Coghlan says he

:09:33.:09:37.

was attacked in his own home and had no choice but to fight back. He was

:09:38.:09:41.

initially charged with murder but the charge was dropped. He's been

:09:42.:09:46.

recounting events which led up to the incident into an inquest into

:09:47.:09:52.

Stephen Akinyemi's death. Back in 2011 a coroner recorded an open

:09:53.:09:57.

verdict, expressing doubts about Arran Coghlan's version of events.

:09:58.:10:02.

Arran Coghlan then mounted a legal campaign for a new inquest hoping

:10:03.:10:06.

for the conclusion that would support his claims that the killing

:10:07.:10:12.

was self-defence. The new coroner, Bernard Richmond QC, questions Arran

:10:13.:10:21.

Coghlan about his past, saying... He was accused and acquitted in two

:10:22.:10:28.

separate cases in 1996 and 2003. The coroner asked him, do you have a

:10:29.:10:32.

reputation in that area? And he replied... The inquest heard more

:10:33.:10:40.

about the day Akinyemi died. A gun and knife were passed around the

:10:41.:10:44.

court, and handed to those of us on the press bench to take a look.

:10:45.:10:49.

Arran Coghlan insists he was trying to mediate a dispute between Stephen

:10:50.:10:55.

Akinyemi and another man. Akinyemi, he said, was annoyed that the other

:10:56.:10:59.

man had accepted the same nickname as him. So annoyed he threatened to

:11:00.:11:04.

kill the other man. Arran Coghlan says he arranged a meeting at his

:11:05.:11:09.

home to defuse the situation, but as we now know things to be violent

:11:10.:11:12.

He will continue giving evidence tomorrow.

:11:13.:11:17.

Headteachers in Cumbria are condemning a county

:11:18.:11:19.

council decision to get rid of traditional school nurses.

:11:20.:11:21.

The head of an Academy in Barrow says the move could put

:11:22.:11:24.

But the authority says the changes coming into effect in April

:11:25.:11:27.

will save money while improving services for children,

:11:28.:11:29.

The role of the traditional school nurse has changed over the years.

:11:30.:11:44.

Today it's about day-to-day health. Here at Parkside Academy in Barrow

:11:45.:11:49.

the nurse visits twice a term, and is always available over the phone.

:11:50.:11:53.

Losing that service contains the head here. It's essential. Families

:11:54.:12:00.

encounter slip-ups and children have needs that affect them day-to-day.

:12:01.:12:06.

We are educators, we can't do with health issues.

:12:07.:12:09.

To speak to a GP, sometimes as difficult. Council say the system is

:12:10.:12:15.

fragmented and they want to save money by combining services. A new

:12:16.:12:19.

dealers team of six Public health nurses will direct

:12:20.:12:19.

schools to help. We are trying to make sure that more people are

:12:20.:12:27.

responsible for the health of our young people, rather run it just

:12:28.:12:31.

being, oh, well, we wait for the school nurse to come and they can't

:12:32.:12:36.

deal with it. Cumbria County Council is one of only few authorities that

:12:37.:12:39.

want to end traditional school nurses.

:12:40.:12:43.

Schools can buy back a dedicated servers from the partnership NHS

:12:44.:12:47.

Foundation Trust. Here in Cumbria schools are facing

:12:48.:12:55.

cuts between 20 and ?150,000, some secondary schools are facing cuts of

:12:56.:13:00.

around half ?1 million. Having to buy-back services will force schools

:13:01.:13:04.

to make difficult decisions over. I don't like to imagine children

:13:05.:13:09.

going out without the health care, and support that they need. All

:13:10.:13:14.

children having their education impaired by loss of services. But

:13:15.:13:19.

it's quite clear, with fewer teachers, fewer school nurses, we

:13:20.:13:24.

are saving into very difficult times.

:13:25.:13:29.

Since 2010 there has been a 15% drop in school nurses, last year they

:13:30.:13:34.

were only 2600. It's a critical issue, and we need

:13:35.:13:39.

to think about investing more in training, thinking about increasing

:13:40.:13:43.

the number of them. It's a real challenge at a time when we haven't

:13:44.:13:47.

got enough nurses in the system. The overall aim is to benefit

:13:48.:13:51.

children. Some headteachers there that instead they will be left to

:13:52.:13:54.

choose between health and education of their children.

:13:55.:14:02.

unearthing the archives which show inner-city children getting a first

:14:59.:14:59.

taste of the great outdoors. Now, we're just eleven weeks away

:15:00.:15:01.

from electing two Mayors in the North West; one

:15:02.:15:04.

in Greater Manchester, and one They'll be the public faces

:15:05.:15:06.

of new local authorities which have been given power

:15:07.:15:10.

under devolution deals. Some believe this is an historic

:15:11.:15:14.

opportunity for the North West, others think we could be hung

:15:15.:15:18.

out to dry. In the first of a three part series,

:15:19.:15:20.

our political editor Nina Warhurst looks at exactly what devoution is,

:15:21.:15:23.

and what powers are being handed Greater Manchester and the Liverpool

:15:24.:15:26.

city region. Both with a rich history, both have enjoyed

:15:27.:15:40.

world-famous highs, and endured devastating blows. Now a new chapter

:15:41.:15:48.

begins, devolution. Devolution is defined as the transfer of power,

:15:49.:15:54.

away from central government to a regional administration. In simple

:15:55.:15:58.

terms, less of the important stuff will be decided here, and more will

:15:59.:16:04.

be decided here and here. In Greater Manchester a new mayor

:16:05.:16:09.

will take control of policing, Fire and rescue, and a huge housing

:16:10.:16:13.

budget. The new mayor will be joined by the leaders of these ten

:16:14.:16:18.

boroughs, together they'll decide on parts of housing and planning,

:16:19.:16:24.

elements of the judicial system and transport on training.

:16:25.:16:27.

Local control of health and social care under a separate body has

:16:28.:16:33.

already begun. There will be a ?900 million investment fund granted over

:16:34.:16:39.

the next 30 years. The Liverpool city region will also receive ?900

:16:40.:16:44.

million over 30 years, the devolution deal here is still

:16:45.:16:49.

progressing, but so far a new mayor will control housing and transport,

:16:50.:16:54.

and along with the leaders of these six boroughs, the mayor will take

:16:55.:16:59.

control of training and skills. Further powers are expected to

:17:00.:17:04.

follow. With me so far? Or wondering why? Wondering why a Conservative

:17:05.:17:09.

Chancellor convinced a largely Labour council leader that this was

:17:10.:17:13.

the right thing to do. For hundreds of years decisions that

:17:14.:17:17.

affect the north of England have been taken 200 miles to the south in

:17:18.:17:23.

London. Now in Merseyside and Manchester United side.

:17:24.:17:27.

There is a there that this is devolution of cuts, devolution of

:17:28.:17:30.

problems and if it goes wrong Westminster will say, you had your

:17:31.:17:34.

chance, you blew it. In the end it's better that

:17:35.:17:38.

decisions are taken locally. National governments will still

:17:39.:17:41.

decide how much tax... We won't be allowed to hire...

:17:42.:17:45.

That will be a decision in the general election. You also get a

:17:46.:17:51.

chance to choose who runs the local things that affect you.

:17:52.:17:56.

Some say that's simply too good to be true. And voters should have had

:17:57.:18:00.

a say on this deal which could potentially only benefit the city

:18:01.:18:06.

centres of Liverpool and Manchester. What that runs the risk of doing is

:18:07.:18:12.

sucking power upwards from rural communities in Oldham, Bolton and

:18:13.:18:15.

Wigan up to Manchester town Hall. You are taking power from one group

:18:16.:18:21.

of unaccountable man in Whitehall and transferring it to another group

:18:22.:18:25.

of unaccountable man in Manchester town Hall, that's not empowerment at

:18:26.:18:29.

all. What will devolution mean for these

:18:30.:18:34.

proud city region 's? A foolishly put faith? Or a whole new world of

:18:35.:18:36.

Tomorrow Nina's series on devolution continues.

:18:37.:18:39.

She'll be talking to Ken Livingstone about what it's like to become

:18:40.:18:42.

Remember, he was in London, of course.

:18:43.:18:52.

A million pounds from the National Lottery is being used

:18:53.:18:54.

It's part of Chat Moss which formed after the last Ice Age.

:18:55.:18:59.

But in the last couple of centuries it's been largely stripped of peat

:19:00.:19:03.

causing massive damage to wildlife and plants.

:19:04.:19:05.

It's one of Salford's biggest brown field sites,

:19:06.:19:08.

and that's the way it's going to stay.

:19:09.:19:14.

We actually have carnivorous plants that grow and live on this site.

:19:15.:19:20.

Peat was cut here at Little Woolden Moss,

:19:21.:19:23.

part of Chat Moss for decades, millions of tonnes

:19:24.:19:25.

What's left is being restored as a haven for wildlife...including

:19:26.:19:30.

a butterfly that took its name from the moss.

:19:31.:19:32.

The Manchester Argos, it was first discovered here in this area. We

:19:33.:19:41.

want to bring it back onto sites like this and get the habitat back.

:19:42.:19:44.

It's a We want to bring it back onto sites

:19:45.:19:44.

:19:45.:19:48.

of the wildlife trust since 2012. They say peat bogs trap billions

seen the horizon and blue skies. It's the first time they've seen

buttresses from the tree. Was growing right background. One of the

:20:29.:20:32.

things I'm interested to find out is the techniques they've been doing.

:20:33.:20:37.

Perhaps we can learn lessons and use that in other parts of the country.

:20:38.:20:43.

Considering it took thousands of years to evolve,restoring

:20:44.:20:45.

Little Woolden Moss to its former glory will not be a quick job.

:20:46.:20:48.

:20:49.:20:50.

Lee Clark has been confirmed as the new manager of Bury.

:20:51.:20:53.

The former Blackpool boss takes over with the Shakers

:20:54.:20:55.

in the relegation zone in League One.

:20:56.:20:57.

They drew 0-0 with MK Dons last night , but elsewhere

:20:58.:21:00.

there were good wins for several of our Football League clubs.

:21:01.:21:02.

Richard Askam's look at the action starts in the Championship ,

:21:03.:21:05.

Wigan Athletic are still in the bottom three.

:21:06.:21:11.

But this hard fought win will have Latics fans breathing

:21:12.:21:14.

It was breathless backs to the wall stuff at times.

:21:15.:21:19.

But Jake Buxton's late header proved to be enough

:21:20.:21:21.

To move Warren Joyce's team just a couple of points from safety.

:21:22.:21:28.

Higher up the table Preston North End kept their play-off hopes alive.

:21:29.:21:31.

Goals from Callum Robinson and Jordan Hugill enough for a 2-1

:21:32.:21:37.

In league One Bolton Wanderers closed to within a couple of points

:21:38.:21:42.

Thanks to a 1-0 victory over Rochdale.

Conor Mclaughlin with the winner for Uwe Rosler's side.

:21:55.:21:59.

And Oldham Athletic gave their survival hopes another boost

:22:00.:22:01.

with a hard fought 1-0 victory against Charlton.

:22:02.:22:03.

Ollie Banks with a fine shot to make it 5 wins out of 8

:22:04.:22:06.

And in League 2 resurgent Crewe Alexandra made it back-to-back

:22:07.:22:12.

wins with a 2-1 victory over play-off hopefuls Wycombe.

:22:13.:22:14.

Chris Dagnall in the first half, and James Jones from the spot

:22:15.:22:17.

the scorers enough to give Alex a six point cushion

Manchester City Women have signed the World Player

The World Cup winner has scored 96 goals in 232 international

appearances and says she's delighted to be joining the English champions.

:22:36.:22:44.

City are the ones to beat anywhere! Even more so now.

:22:45.:22:49.

These were the days long before tablets, games

:22:50.:22:51.

And yet at The Brathey Trust in Ambleside, things are much

:22:52.:22:54.

the same As was the case for Maurice Dybeck,

:22:55.:22:58.

who became a Brathay Trust instructor in the 1950s,

:22:59.:23:00.

These were the days before tablets, games consoles on the Internet. At

:23:01.:23:19.

this trust in Ambleside things are much the same. A house in lovely

:23:20.:23:29.

grounds and everyday an adventure. An instructor from the 1950s

:23:30.:23:33.

recently and in this film. It's lovely. The techniques look a bit

:23:34.:23:39.

crude compared to what we do now, and although it's a long time ago,

:23:40.:23:43.

these settings are the same. We have mountains, the late, we thought it

:23:44.:23:50.

would be a reward for them, but in most cases to help them become

:23:51.:23:55.

better citizens, as we used to say. An old-fashioned term, but it did

:23:56.:24:00.

that. One of the boys admit they often sailed a bit close to the

:24:01.:24:04.

wind. We thought we were going to capsize. As a matter of fact, we

:24:05.:24:09.

very nearly did. Of course, they wouldn't allow that

:24:10.:24:13.

no days as health and safety is much more rigorous in 2017 and it was in

:24:14.:24:19.

1953. But is the spirit of adventure still the same? Yes! It is different

:24:20.:24:27.

to mobile phones and everything, but it's fun to get out in the

:24:28.:24:31.

countryside and do something. This can mean relying on your classmates.

:24:32.:24:36.

We put our weight on our neighbour. A lot of trust involved. Yes, there

:24:37.:24:41.

is. What happens if you let go of the rope? If you let go, he falls

:24:42.:24:48.

off. No pressure them. But this place has always appealed to thrill

:24:49.:24:53.

seekers. They found their feet, at least some of them did. Maurice

:24:54.:24:58.

dusted it off and we realised it was a fantastic piece of our history.

:24:59.:25:04.

Talking to be kids today, I found that they are friendly, they are

:25:05.:25:09.

positive about things, and I don't see any change there.

:25:10.:25:13.

All is to say they won't be coming here for another 70 years. --

:25:14.:25:18.

hallways to say they won't be coming here for another 70 years. I was 11

:25:19.:25:23.

when I first went on a weekend trip with the Scouts, it was brilliant.

:25:24.:25:31.

Enough of that. Did it rain? Yes, we got wet. Deadbeat tend tenth league?

:25:32.:25:38.

Yes. Everything got wet. Where you there are? No, but most people had

:25:39.:25:40.

an experience like that. Good evening. We are in a mild spell

:25:41.:25:44.

for the next couple of days, there aren't that many changes

:25:45.:25:55.

on the weather. A little line of rain creeping towards us. Something

:25:56.:25:59.

in the way of sunshine first thing this morning but cloud has started

:26:00.:26:04.

to build. It smiled because of the wind, we've lost that cold air over

:26:05.:26:08.

the last couple of days. The wind has changed direction. We go back to

:26:09.:26:15.

the more traditional westerly winds. Quite a bit of cloud cover, for many

:26:16.:26:20.

places a largely dry picture. Having said that, here comes the rain. You

:26:21.:26:26.

can see the track there, it's whipped around the bottom end of the

:26:27.:26:29.

Pennines and is moving over the eastern side of England. Many places

:26:30.:26:35.

should have a dry picture. You might catch a few outbreaks from a short

:26:36.:26:38.

while, but for many of us it's a cloud -ish picture. Mixing cloud

:26:39.:26:42.

cover, not quite as mild as last night. Numbers are good bearing in

:26:43.:26:47.

mind it was very cold earlier in the week. Sunshine in short supply

:26:48.:26:55.

unless you are up very early, cloud will build. Light spots of drizzly

:26:56.:27:00.

rain through the day. What starts to happen in the afternoon, but cloud

:27:01.:27:04.

cover starts to their land break, brighter skies come through, perhaps

:27:05.:27:07.

a light shower. Numbers are blurred, nine or 10 degrees. That's very

:27:08.:27:13.

mild. The problem with pitching your tent on a hill is it slides. I'm too

:27:14.:27:18.

hefty to slide to the bottom of a sleeping bag. We'll just tell you

:27:19.:27:24.

about a toddler from Manchester who had a lucky escape recently. She

:27:25.:27:29.

fell to stories from a window. Fortunately she had a soft landing.

:27:30.:27:34.

The 23-month-old girl landed on a sofa which had been left in the

:27:35.:27:39.

front garden. That was lucky. Thank you very much for watching, good

:27:40.:27:41.

night. when farmers leave

:27:42.:27:58.

their daily routines behind... Right, here we come, Dorset!

..for a show day.
