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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

the Environment Minister to see This is a sand and gravel from back | :20:11. | :20:22. | |

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. | |

Higher up the table Preston North End kept their play-off hopes alive. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |

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! | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
