:00:16. > :00:19.They say they've gone over the crass insensitivity

:00:21. > :00:23.A former governor of this Oldham school says claims of an Islamic
:00:24. > :00:30.We weren't a part of any kind of ploy or plot

:01:16. > :01:19.hardliners to take over an old primary school. Claims about the
:01:20. > :01:23.so-called Trojan horse plot were made by the headteacher of Parkfield
:01:24. > :01:30.playboy who said she received death threats. -- Clarksfield Primary. We
:01:31. > :01:32.have been told that reports of the plot are not true.
:01:33. > :01:36.This from our social affairs correspondent Clare Fallon.
:01:37. > :01:39.On a backstreet in Oldham, a school at the centre of allegations.
:01:40. > :01:41.It's been claimed there was a Muslim take-over attempt here.

:01:44. > :01:49.Infiltration and intimidation which it is claimed that the headteacher

:01:56. > :01:57.to radicalise people, This is the man who some of the
:01:58. > :02:06.allegations are about. Nasim Ashraf was a governer
:02:07. > :02:14.at the school until 2013. He told BBC claims are fake news.
:02:15. > :02:22.Why do you think these claims are about you? That is a question for
:02:23. > :02:25.local authorities. In 2013, I left as a governor, Mike Jordan left
:02:26. > :02:32.then, we removed the children and put them into faith schools. -- my
:02:33. > :02:36.children left. All of my children go to church of England faith schools.
:02:37. > :02:44.Why and how are we still involved in that school? The headteacher claimed
:02:45. > :02:47.in December that there was a Trojan horse plot and threats made against
:02:48. > :03:04.her. Today the council confirmed... The report concluded... They took
:03:05. > :03:09.this very seriously and have done the right thing and concluded that
:03:10. > :03:16.there is no basis for suggesting that this particular primary school
:03:17. > :03:24.has been subject to a Trojan horse episode.
:03:25. > :03:27.Oldham council said that claims into other schools in the area have been
:03:28. > :03:31.looked at and they find no takeover attempts there either.

:04:01. > :04:03.short course and it's perhaps equivalent to somebody doing a first
:04:04. > :04:06.aid course and then expecting them to do a case that
:04:07. > :04:12.involves brain surgery. Police have been forced to close
:04:13. > :04:15.a road near a shale gas drilling site in Lancashire after protests
:04:16. > :04:19.by anti-fracking demonstrators. The activists chained themselves

:04:49. > :05:00.will be trained there. Unions fear that could lead
:05:01. > :05:03.to the closure of at least one of Vauxhall's UK factories -
:05:04. > :05:12.at either Ellesmere Port or Luton. A new training centre costing
:05:13. > :05:15.?25 million will be built at BAE Apprentices, who'll build
:05:16. > :05:17.the forthcoming Dreadnought-class nuclear deterrent submarines,
:05:18. > :05:19.will be trained there. The announcement was made
:05:20. > :05:21.by the defence secretary, Sir Michael Fallon,
:05:22. > :05:23.who was in Barrow today. The Business Secretary,
:05:24. > :05:24.Greg Clark, has told Ellesmere Port's MP Justin Madders
:05:25. > :05:27.that he and the Prime Minister will do all they can to protect jobs
:05:28. > :05:30.at Vauxhall's plants in the UK. It was in response to a question
:05:31. > :05:33.from Mr Madders about the possible takeover of the carmaker
:05:34. > :05:36.by the French company Peugeot. Unions fear that could lead
:05:37. > :05:38.to the closure of at least one of Vauxhall's UK factories at either
:05:39. > :05:41.Ellesmere Port or Luton. What would Britain have
:05:42. > :05:43.been like if the Germans It's a question asked in the latest
:05:44. > :05:47.BBC Sunday night drama, SS-GB. According to local tradition
:05:48. > :05:49.in Lancashire, Blackpool Hitler, it's said, had
:05:50. > :05:52.visited the resort He even ordered the Luftwaffe
:05:53. > :05:56.to avoid it during What if Dad's Army
:05:57. > :06:00.hadn't stopped the Germans? What if Hitler had goosestepped
:06:01. > :06:02.his way to Blackpool? German pilots are said
:06:03. > :06:04.to have used the Italian Gardens in Stanley Park -
:06:05. > :06:07.formed in the shape of a compass - to help them find their way
:06:08. > :06:10.back home after bombing But why didn't they obliterate
:06:11. > :06:12.the resort itself? Could Hitler have
:06:13. > :06:14.been protecting it? I think he saw it as the wonderful
:06:15. > :06:18.place it is and it was for his people from Germany to come
:06:19. > :06:20.and visit when this was part of the German Empire,
:06:21. > :06:23.which it was going to be, was it? So this would be a kind
:06:24. > :06:25.of recreation centre That's right, and for the Germans
:06:26. > :06:29.themselves, never mind In fact, on one occasion,
:06:30. > :06:34.eight people lost their lives But relatively speaking,
:06:35. > :06:39.the town did escape unscathed and, when it was all over,
:06:40. > :06:44.this travel was built -- and, when it was all over,
:06:45. > :06:47.this chapel was built in thanksgiving for
:06:48. > :06:49.Blackpool's survival. But the real reason Blackpool
:06:50. > :06:52.wasn't targetted, say historians, is that it simply wasn't
:06:53. > :06:55.important enough in terms But what about the enticing idea
:06:56. > :07:10.that Hitler himself visited Blackpool, strolled down the Prom,
:07:11. > :07:14.enjoyed a stick of Blacpool rock? # With my little stick
:07:15. > :07:30.of Blackpool rock. There is no evidence that Hitler
:07:31. > :07:36.ever came to Britain. There is a myth that says he came to Liverpool
:07:37. > :07:42.in the 1912, early 1913, but it's never been proven. In fact, it's
:07:43. > :07:44.been proven that he was paying rent and living at a main's hostel in
:07:45. > :07:47.Vienna, so it's one of those myths. Would the Germans have fallen
:07:48. > :07:49.in love with Blackpool Would they have braved the beach
:07:50. > :07:55.on a chilly February day? Well, that requires
:07:56. > :07:57.the true British spirit. Stuart Flinders,
:07:58. > :08:08.BBC North West Tonight, Blackpool. Red Nose Day is fast approaching
:08:09. > :08:11.and, since the last one in 2015, your donations have helped transform
:08:12. > :08:14.the lives of more than 40,000 people living
:08:15. > :08:18.with a mental health condition. Thanks to Comic Relief,
:08:19. > :08:23.Manchester Mind can provide counselling sessions
:08:24. > :08:26.for young people. We sent Manchester comedian
:08:27. > :08:28.Brennan Reece to meet them. Hello, I'm Brennan Reece
:08:29. > :08:30.and I've been doing Now, we're here today in Levenshulme
:08:31. > :08:36.at Manchester Mind to find out So, Dave, you've been coming
:08:37. > :08:50.here for a couple of years now. How come you've come
:08:51. > :08:58.here in the first place? I got referred to the counsellor
:08:59. > :09:01.upstairs at first and they suggested that I come here as that could help
:09:02. > :09:03.deal with anxiety. Where did the anxiety come
:09:04. > :09:06.from in the first place? I think that's when I lost
:09:07. > :09:09.my daughter a few years ago. I'm not sure 100%,
:09:10. > :09:11.but I assume it's from that. That must have been pretty tough?
:09:12. > :09:13.Horrendous! You know, it's the hardest thing
:09:14. > :09:18.I've been through, by far. Would you want to, um, weigh out
:09:19. > :09:24.300 grams of the self-raising flour? My mental health issues are,
:09:25. > :09:26.like, self harming, overdosing and trying to kill myself.
:09:27. > :09:30.I've been doing it for six years. So coming here must
:09:31. > :09:39.be able to leave? -- So coming here must
:09:40. > :09:41.be a real relief? I've not had as many thoughts
:09:42. > :09:45.as I did before coming here. And what would you do
:09:46. > :09:48.if this place didn't exist? To be honest, if this
:09:49. > :09:50.place wasn't existing, Young people who are very
:09:51. > :09:54.distrustful of mainstream services and so they're able to come
:09:55. > :09:57.here and trust us and we're able to provide counselling for them
:09:58. > :10:00.in a way that they find useful. And without the Comic Relief
:10:01. > :10:02.money, we simply wouldn't It's been an amazing
:10:03. > :10:07.and insightful afternoon. They do lots of brilliant things
:10:08. > :10:09.here at Manchester Mind. Comic Relief fund loads of brilliant
:10:10. > :10:31.amazing projects like this. So, Red Nose Day is only 24th of
:10:32. > :10:35.March, always good fun. I may even get my esteemed colleague to wear a
:10:36. > :10:37.red nose. Some might say I already do.
:10:38. > :10:39.Still to come on North West Tonight...
:10:40. > :10:46.How Fergie used the Fifth Beatle to show Beckham how not to behave.
:10:47. > :10:52.Wigan's winning performance on a Rugby League weekend to remember.
:10:53. > :10:55.It's massive, because they're the winning team, Australia,
:10:56. > :11:09.they're the best team and we've beaten them.
:11:10. > :11:11.Before all of that, we will talk about Ukip.
:11:12. > :11:15.the reasons given by two of Ukip's most senior officials in Liverpool,
:11:16. > :11:18.who resigned earlier today after a week where senior figures
:11:19. > :11:20.in their party have been in the news about Hillsborough.
:11:21. > :11:23.It's more bad news for the Ukip leader and North West MEP
:11:24. > :11:26.Paul Nuttall, who's now caught in a fight between the party's
:11:27. > :11:28.grassroots members, and one of its richest backers.
:11:29. > :11:34.Paul Nuttall is taking a battering, from his own corner.
:11:35. > :11:36.Just under three months into leading his party,
:11:37. > :11:39.he's already been dealt a blow by inaccurate comments
:11:40. > :11:40.on his website claiming he lost close friends
:11:41. > :11:46.But then came tweets by the influential Ukip donor
:11:47. > :11:48.Arron Banks, who wrote that he was
:11:49. > :11:52."sick to death" of hearing about Hillsborough, adding...
:11:53. > :11:58.It's about time people realised that sometimes life is unfair
:11:59. > :12:02.Tweets that made the party's most senior official
:12:03. > :12:07.in Merseyside feel his position was untenable.
:12:08. > :12:14.It's taken ten years to build Ukip Liverpool and it was destroyed in a
:12:15. > :12:20.matter of a day or so by Aaron Banks. So I thank you personally for
:12:21. > :12:21.actually completely destroying the future of Ukip in Liverpool and on
:12:22. > :12:24.Merseyside. The resignation was meant
:12:25. > :12:26.as an apology to the people of Liverpool, who turned out
:12:27. > :12:44.in their thousands to remember The crowds may have gone now but the
:12:45. > :12:47.sensitivity to comment on Hillsborough and Liverpool is just
:12:48. > :12:56.as role which is why this could be so damaging to the party. -- just as
:12:57. > :12:59.raw. Listening to that rubbish when it is all about the vote is
:13:00. > :13:05.scandalous and he should resign. If people have lost people in a
:13:06. > :13:09.disaster like that, he should have more common sense to say things.
:13:10. > :13:13.That was a genuine mistake. From what I've heard other people say
:13:14. > :13:18.about him, but his reaction to that, I think it was genuine. I think it
:13:19. > :13:26.is terminal for Ukip and difficult to see a way back from this. The
:13:27. > :13:27.comments from Aaron Banks about people milking the disaster are
:13:28. > :13:30.frankly disastrous for the party. Today's resignations are not a call
:13:31. > :13:32.for Paul Nuttall stand down. But it makes his position more
:13:33. > :13:35.precarious as he tries to become an MP in Stoke-on-Trent
:13:36. > :13:39.in just three days' time. One of the most talented
:13:40. > :13:57.and charismatic footballers The Manchester United
:13:58. > :14:02.star's fall from grace - and eventual death after years
:14:03. > :14:04.of alcohol abuse - are explored in a new documentary -
:14:05. > :14:07.which launches in cinemas this week. It includes interviews
:14:08. > :14:09.with both his wives. Earlier, I asked the film's
:14:10. > :14:11.director Daniel Gordon why It's a question I get asked so often
:14:12. > :14:16.and it's a question that I asked myself when I first started
:14:17. > :14:19.doing it - "What can you possibly do "about George Best that
:14:20. > :14:21.hasn't been done before?" And, for me, it was all
:14:22. > :14:24.about getting in deeper than anyone had gone in on before and talking
:14:25. > :14:27.to the people that knew him best and going into the archives
:14:28. > :14:30.and digging out all the archives Some of it has never
:14:31. > :14:33.been seen before. Some of it was shot back
:14:34. > :14:36.in the '60s, put back into a film can and only found again
:14:37. > :14:38.in the archives So, for me, the opportunity to do
:14:39. > :14:42.the full story of George, both the greatness of the football
:14:43. > :14:45.and the darker side, George Best isn't the only
:14:46. > :14:48.footballer who has come through, had a talent, who went
:14:49. > :14:50.off the rails. Do you think now he would've been
:14:51. > :14:53.better protected and they may have been able to keep him
:14:54. > :14:56.on the straight and narrow? He was the first, that
:14:57. > :14:58.was the big problem - he was the first and no-one knew
:14:59. > :15:01.what they were doing, and no-one knew to expect anything,
:15:02. > :15:03.and no-one knew the consequences Interestingly, when George
:15:04. > :15:07.was working at Sky, he went up to interview Sir Alex and asked him
:15:08. > :15:10.the question of, "What would you And he said, "I'm really embarrassed
:15:11. > :15:15.to tell you this to your face "and in front of the camera crew,
:15:16. > :15:18.but we use you as an example And so, you know, Beckham,
:15:19. > :15:22.The Class of '92, Ronaldo in the early part of his career,
:15:23. > :15:25.they drew on the experience, the terrible experience
:15:26. > :15:27.of what happened to George Best, in order to make them better people,
:15:28. > :15:29.better football players. Some people will always regard him
:15:30. > :15:32.as a fantastic footballer. Other people will feel sorry for
:15:33. > :15:35.him - a man who fought his demons and ultimately lost.
:15:36. > :15:37.Others will feel angry. He had a liver transplant,
:15:38. > :15:40.he was given a second chance, and he still drank
:15:41. > :15:45.themselves to death. -- chance, and he still
:15:46. > :15:47.drank himself to death. How did you feel about him
:15:48. > :15:49.at the end of this? He's not 100% saint
:15:50. > :15:53.and he's not 100% sinner. Um, and there's grades, shades
:15:54. > :15:56.in between, and I suspect though, if he was playing today,
:15:57. > :15:59.he may well have gone down the same I think he was that
:16:00. > :16:02.kind of character. I get why people just
:16:03. > :16:05.want to remember the football and admire that and I also
:16:06. > :16:08.understand why people get angry at, you know, the second chance
:16:09. > :16:11.he had that he threw away. Daniel Gordon, thank you.
:16:12. > :16:12.Thank you. George Best: All By Himself
:16:13. > :16:25.is released in cinemas on Friday. Sounds really interesting. It is and
:16:26. > :16:26.he said you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy it that is
:16:27. > :16:29.explored in the documentary. George Best: All By Himself
:16:30. > :16:38.is released in cinemas on Friday. Go on line and find out where it
:16:39. > :16:44.might be showing. Staying with sport, but other sport,

:16:49. > :16:59.are once again champions of the world? Yes! Wane's World! What a
:17:00. > :17:01.fantastic picture of them celebrating.
:17:02. > :17:04.Yes, for the first time since 1994, Wigan won the World Club Challenge
:17:05. > :17:06.and restored some much needed pride for Super League clubs
:17:07. > :17:08.when they beat the Cronulla Sharks 22-6 yesterday.
:17:09. > :17:11.The Aussies have easily had the better of it in recent seasons
:17:12. > :17:14.and there was a real concern that they were losing interest.
:17:15. > :17:16.But the Warriors turned the tables in terrific style and,
:17:17. > :17:19.with Warrington Wolves also beating Brisbane Broncos, it was a clean
:17:20. > :17:33.And to the Wigan Warriors, it means the world.
:17:34. > :17:39.The players have so much desire, so much guts and determination,
:17:40. > :17:47.to get these wins. This win is all for them.
:17:48. > :17:49.I'm delighted and everyone in Wigan is very excited about that.
:17:50. > :17:57.It's a great achievement, isn't it? The fourth time!
:17:58. > :17:59.Warriors fans certainly had plenty to cheer.
:18:00. > :18:05.Oliver Gildart's try, the Warriors' third,
:18:06. > :18:07.put them firmly in control and, after Cronulla responded,
:18:08. > :18:13.star winger Joe Burgess sealed it in style with his hat-trick.
:18:14. > :18:16.I'm glad to say, my first bit of silverware.
:18:17. > :18:21.Yeah, just memorable, very memorable.
:18:22. > :18:23.What do you think you can go on and achieve now?
:18:24. > :18:24.Everything! Win it all!
:18:25. > :18:29.Because I'm desperate for it, very desperate.
:18:30. > :18:32.On a fine weekend for Super League, Warrington Wolves also got
:18:33. > :18:36.the better of NRL opposition on Saturday night.
:18:37. > :18:38.Their excellent 27-18 win over Brisbane Broncos a sign
:18:39. > :18:47.It's massive, because, you know, they are the winning team,
:18:48. > :18:49.in Australia, the best team, and we've beat them
:18:50. > :18:52.and Tony beat them last night, so it's huge for our competition.
:18:53. > :18:59.They played well, they played tough and they took their opportunities.
:19:00. > :19:02.Wigan, who clinched the title on the locations in the '80s
:19:03. > :19:05.and '90s, are now the only club - English or Australian -
:19:06. > :19:09.to win the World crown four times, after a red letter day at the DW
:19:10. > :19:20.You can catch all the weekend's action on the Super League show

:19:48. > :19:50.this professional attitude with everybody, playing
:19:51. > :19:56.with focus and responsibility, we would be in real trouble.

:22:01. > :22:02.a worldwide audience after being Today in Liverpool, the BBC
:22:03. > :22:06.was showing what it does best to 700 delegates from around

:22:40. > :22:44.old Scouser, coming back at this showcase, it's a lovely chance for
:22:45. > :22:54.me to get nostalgic as well. A little bit of Jimmy, some Miles
:22:55. > :22:58.Davies thrown in. I was knocked out. This one from Nile Rodgers will be
:22:59. > :23:03.shown on BBC Four on April and was also showcased. One legend and the
:23:04. > :23:08.musician was the surprise guest tonight. I hope that I am trying to
:23:09. > :23:14.point out the videos moments that have happened throughout my life and
:23:15. > :23:19.see if maybe the viewer can associate with that and say the same
:23:20. > :23:22.thing happened to me, I just didn't know and didn't realise that is what
:23:23. > :23:25.was happening. The event is the largest
:23:26. > :23:31.international television market posted by E single by a single

:24:19. > :24:25.exports. This showcase is one way of making sure they are enjoyed around
:24:26. > :24:30.the world. There you go, spreading the world.
:24:31. > :24:34.The best of the BBC. Now to get the best of the weather.
:24:35. > :24:42.If this is the best of the weather...
:24:43. > :24:47.It's not worth having. We had a really miserable one even
:24:48. > :24:52.though the rest of the UK had some better weather. Good evening, the
:24:53. > :24:56.heatwave was not for us. And through this week some surprises in store.
:24:57. > :25:01.Some places had some limited spells of sunshine. But the mild weather
:25:02. > :25:06.sticks through tomorrow then look what happens, the cold air comes in
:25:07. > :25:11.and I'm afraid it will be very much the talking point as we head towards
:25:12. > :25:15.midweek and believe it or not, watching this sequence, some rain
:25:16. > :25:19.walking through tonight, some more tomorrow afternoon, that stays for
:25:20. > :25:25.your time on Wednesday. Another weather front coming through. But it
:25:26. > :25:29.is a change in weather direction, and we could have some snow in the
:25:30. > :25:34.midweek. Generally over highest levels but there could be some snow
:25:35. > :25:39.in the forecast. Snow could be possible for some
:25:40. > :25:46.places. But it is about that band of rain today, it brought a huge amount
:25:47. > :25:50.of cloud cover, such a dull day, and through this evening, in the rain
:25:51. > :25:53.should be dropping south. There could be some rakes in the cloud
:25:54. > :25:59.cover but those could be temporarily. This rain should drop
:26:00. > :26:04.south, not really for us, I think it is for the Midlands and North Wales,
:26:05. > :26:09.maybe just a spot of drizzle. Some breaks in the cloud cover but few
:26:10. > :26:13.and far between. Numbers good tonight, still relatively mild, and
:26:14. > :26:19.the best of the weather tomorrow will be about waiting for another
:26:20. > :26:24.weather front, but not until the end of the day, most of the day will be
:26:25. > :26:28.all right, then a lot of cloud cover, tonnes of sunshine across the
:26:29. > :26:33.Pennines, maybe sub rates bills here, but heading towards two or
:26:34. > :26:37.three o'clock towards tea-time, rain spreading everywhere and it will sit
:26:38. > :26:42.with us, and the colours of highest levels could mean some heavy bursts.
:26:43. > :26:49.Add the wind could pick up. We have mild air but the worst of everything
:26:50. > :26:55.going with it. The train goes through on Tuesday night, another
:26:56. > :26:56.front on Wednesday and some went conditions midweek. -- the rain goes
:26:57. > :27:04.through. I was not pleased with what you
:27:05. > :27:09.said. And remember Stuart Flinders was talking about Blackpool and it
:27:10. > :27:12.avoided the blitz because Hitler had a soft bot. Some of you had been in
:27:13. > :27:23.touch. Keith Tanner from Sale E
:27:24. > :27:25.mailed in to say... I visited Blackpool
:27:26. > :27:27.as a child at the time Whilst standing in front
:27:28. > :27:30.of the Tower we saw As it got closer we saw that
:27:31. > :27:34.but was a bat winged As it came in very low
:27:35. > :27:38.with its swasticas clearly visible people scattered in all directions,
:27:39. > :27:44.it circled around the Tower Thank you for that. And we had
:27:45. > :27:46.reaction from George Best. Thank you for that. Anyway, we will see you
:27:47. > :27:50.tomorrow. Goodbye.
