Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson

:00:00.:00:07.

and Annabel Tiffin. Our top story...

:00:08.:00:10.

Two Merseyside party officials quit over the Hillsborough row.

:00:11.:00:15.

They say they've gone over the crass insensitivity

:00:16.:00:19.

shown towards the disaster. Also tonight...

:00:20.:00:20.

A former governor of this Oldham school says claims of an Islamic

:00:21.:00:23.

We weren't a part of any kind of ploy or plot

:00:24.:00:30.

to take over the school, to radicalise people,

:00:31.:00:32.

The world's broadcasters fish for a BBC hit in Liverpool.

:00:33.:00:50.

because the Nazi leader had a soft spot for it?

:00:51.:01:09.

Counterterrorism police have been examining a plan by Moslem

:01:10.:01:15.

hardliners to take over an old primary school. Claims about the

:01:16.:01:19.

so-called Trojan horse plot were made by the headteacher of Parkfield

:01:20.:01:23.

playboy who said she received death threats. -- Clarksfield Primary. We

:01:24.:01:30.

have been told that reports of the plot are not true.

:01:31.:01:32.

This from our social affairs correspondent Clare Fallon.

:01:33.:01:36.

On a backstreet in Oldham, a school at the centre of allegations.

:01:37.:01:39.

It's been claimed there was a Muslim take-over attempt here.

:01:40.:01:41.

A Trojan horse plot, as it was described

:01:42.:01:43.

Infiltration and intimidation which it is claimed that the headteacher

:01:44.:01:49.

scared and facing death threats. We weren't a part of any

:01:50.:01:52.

kind of ploy or plot to take over the school,

:01:53.:01:55.

to radicalise people, This is the man who some of the

:01:56.:01:57.

allegations are about. Nasim Ashraf was a governer

:01:58.:02:06.

at the school until 2013. He told BBC claims are fake news.

:02:07.:02:14.

Why do you think these claims are about you? That is a question for

:02:15.:02:22.

local authorities. In 2013, I left as a governor, Mike Jordan left

:02:23.:02:25.

then, we removed the children and put them into faith schools. -- my

:02:26.:02:32.

children left. All of my children go to church of England faith schools.

:02:33.:02:36.

Why and how are we still involved in that school? The headteacher claimed

:02:37.:02:44.

in December that there was a Trojan horse plot and threats made against

:02:45.:02:47.

her. Today the council confirmed... The report concluded... They took

:02:48.:03:04.

this very seriously and have done the right thing and concluded that

:03:05.:03:09.

there is no basis for suggesting that this particular primary school

:03:10.:03:16.

has been subject to a Trojan horse episode.

:03:17.:03:24.

Oldham council said that claims into other schools in the area have been

:03:25.:03:27.

looked at and they find no takeover attempts there either.

:03:28.:03:31.

The Moors Murderer, Ian Brady, has been refused permission

:03:32.:03:44.

to launch a High Court fight to choose his own lawyer

:03:45.:03:47.

The 79-year-old wants to be moved from Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside

:03:48.:03:51.

to a prison where he would no longer be force fed.

:03:52.:03:53.

His solicitor said he would have no effective representation after the

:03:54.:03:55.

tribunal. The people on the Mental Health

:03:56.:03:58.

Review Tribunal panel for the Law Society do a relatively

:03:59.:04:00.

short course and it's perhaps equivalent to somebody doing a first

:04:01.:04:03.

aid course and then expecting them to do a case that

:04:04.:04:06.

involves brain surgery. Police have been forced to close

:04:07.:04:12.

a road near a shale gas drilling site in Lancashire after protests

:04:13.:04:15.

by anti-fracking demonstrators. The activists chained themselves

:04:16.:04:19.

to fencing at the site There were some arrests and police

:04:20.:04:31.

say they had to close Preston Murad. The company said work has not been

:04:32.:04:35.

affected. A new training centre costing

:04:36.:04:40.

?25 million will be built at BAE Apprentices, who'll build

:04:41.:04:46.

the forthcoming Dreadnought-class nuclear deterrent submarines,

:04:47.:04:48.

will be trained there. Unions fear that could lead

:04:49.:05:00.

to the closure of at least one of Vauxhall's UK factories -

:05:01.:05:03.

at either Ellesmere Port or Luton. A new training centre costing

:05:04.:05:12.

?25 million will be built at BAE Apprentices, who'll build

:05:13.:05:15.

the forthcoming Dreadnought-class nuclear deterrent submarines,

:05:16.:05:17.

will be trained there. The announcement was made

:05:18.:05:19.

by the defence secretary, Sir Michael Fallon,

:05:20.:05:21.

who was in Barrow today. The Business Secretary,

:05:22.:05:23.

Greg Clark, has told Ellesmere Port's MP Justin Madders

:05:24.:05:24.

that he and the Prime Minister will do all they can to protect jobs

:05:25.:05:27.

at Vauxhall's plants in the UK. It was in response to a question

:05:28.:05:30.

from Mr Madders about the possible takeover of the carmaker

:05:31.:05:33.

by the French company Peugeot. Unions fear that could lead

:05:34.:05:36.

to the closure of at least one of Vauxhall's UK factories at either

:05:37.:05:38.

Ellesmere Port or Luton. What would Britain have

:05:39.:05:41.

been like if the Germans It's a question asked in the latest

:05:42.:05:43.

BBC Sunday night drama, SS-GB. According to local tradition

:05:44.:05:47.

in Lancashire, Blackpool Hitler, it's said, had

:05:48.:05:49.

visited the resort He even ordered the Luftwaffe

:05:50.:05:52.

to avoid it during What if Dad's Army

:05:53.:05:56.

hadn't stopped the Germans? What if Hitler had goosestepped

:05:57.:06:00.

his way to Blackpool? German pilots are said

:06:01.:06:02.

to have used the Italian Gardens in Stanley Park -

:06:03.:06:04.

formed in the shape of a compass - to help them find their way

:06:05.:06:07.

back home after bombing But why didn't they obliterate

:06:08.:06:10.

the resort itself? Could Hitler have

:06:11.:06:12.

been protecting it? I think he saw it as the wonderful

:06:13.:06:14.

place it is and it was for his people from Germany to come

:06:15.:06:18.

and visit when this was part of the German Empire,

:06:19.:06:20.

which it was going to be, was it? So this would be a kind

:06:21.:06:23.

of recreation centre That's right, and for the Germans

:06:24.:06:25.

themselves, never mind In fact, on one occasion,

:06:26.:06:29.

eight people lost their lives But relatively speaking,

:06:30.:06:34.

the town did escape unscathed and, when it was all over,

:06:35.:06:39.

this travel was built -- and, when it was all over,

:06:40.:06:44.

this chapel was built in thanksgiving for

:06:45.:06:47.

Blackpool's survival. But the real reason Blackpool

:06:48.:06:49.

wasn't targetted, say historians, is that it simply wasn't

:06:50.:06:52.

important enough in terms But what about the enticing idea

:06:53.:06:55.

that Hitler himself visited Blackpool, strolled down the Prom,

:06:56.:07:10.

enjoyed a stick of Blacpool rock? # With my little stick

:07:11.:07:14.

of Blackpool rock. There is no evidence that Hitler

:07:15.:07:30.

ever came to Britain. There is a myth that says he came to Liverpool

:07:31.:07:36.

in the 1912, early 1913, but it's never been proven. In fact, it's

:07:37.:07:42.

been proven that he was paying rent and living at a main's hostel in

:07:43.:07:44.

Vienna, so it's one of those myths. Would the Germans have fallen

:07:45.:07:47.

in love with Blackpool Would they have braved the beach

:07:48.:07:49.

on a chilly February day? Well, that requires

:07:50.:07:55.

the true British spirit. Stuart Flinders,

:07:56.:07:57.

BBC North West Tonight, Blackpool. Red Nose Day is fast approaching

:07:58.:08:08.

and, since the last one in 2015, your donations have helped transform

:08:09.:08:11.

the lives of more than 40,000 people living

:08:12.:08:14.

with a mental health condition. Thanks to Comic Relief,

:08:15.:08:18.

Manchester Mind can provide counselling sessions

:08:19.:08:23.

for young people. We sent Manchester comedian

:08:24.:08:26.

Brennan Reece to meet them. Hello, I'm Brennan Reece

:08:27.:08:28.

and I've been doing Now, we're here today in Levenshulme

:08:29.:08:30.

at Manchester Mind to find out So, Dave, you've been coming

:08:31.:08:36.

here for a couple of years now. How come you've come

:08:37.:08:50.

here in the first place? I got referred to the counsellor

:08:51.:08:58.

upstairs at first and they suggested that I come here as that could help

:08:59.:09:01.

deal with anxiety. Where did the anxiety come

:09:02.:09:03.

from in the first place? I think that's when I lost

:09:04.:09:06.

my daughter a few years ago. I'm not sure 100%,

:09:07.:09:09.

but I assume it's from that. That must have been pretty tough?

:09:10.:09:11.

Horrendous! You know, it's the hardest thing

:09:12.:09:13.

I've been through, by far. Would you want to, um, weigh out

:09:14.:09:18.

300 grams of the self-raising flour? My mental health issues are,

:09:19.:09:24.

like, self harming, overdosing and trying to kill myself.

:09:25.:09:26.

I've been doing it for six years. So coming here must

:09:27.:09:30.

be able to leave? -- So coming here must

:09:31.:09:39.

be a real relief? I've not had as many thoughts

:09:40.:09:41.

as I did before coming here. And what would you do

:09:42.:09:45.

if this place didn't exist? To be honest, if this

:09:46.:09:48.

place wasn't existing, Young people who are very

:09:49.:09:50.

distrustful of mainstream services and so they're able to come

:09:51.:09:54.

here and trust us and we're able to provide counselling for them

:09:55.:09:57.

in a way that they find useful. And without the Comic Relief

:09:58.:10:00.

money, we simply wouldn't It's been an amazing

:10:01.:10:02.

and insightful afternoon. They do lots of brilliant things

:10:03.:10:07.

here at Manchester Mind. Comic Relief fund loads of brilliant

:10:08.:10:09.

amazing projects like this. So, Red Nose Day is only 24th of

:10:10.:10:31.

March, always good fun. I may even get my esteemed colleague to wear a

:10:32.:10:35.

red nose. Some might say I already do.

:10:36.:10:37.

Still to come on North West Tonight...

:10:38.:10:39.

How Fergie used the Fifth Beatle to show Beckham how not to behave.

:10:40.:10:46.

Wigan's winning performance on a Rugby League weekend to remember.

:10:47.:10:52.

It's massive, because they're the winning team, Australia,

:10:53.:10:55.

they're the best team and we've beaten them.

:10:56.:11:09.

Before all of that, we will talk about Ukip.

:11:10.:11:11.

the reasons given by two of Ukip's most senior officials in Liverpool,

:11:12.:11:15.

who resigned earlier today after a week where senior figures

:11:16.:11:18.

in their party have been in the news about Hillsborough.

:11:19.:11:20.

It's more bad news for the Ukip leader and North West MEP

:11:21.:11:23.

Paul Nuttall, who's now caught in a fight between the party's

:11:24.:11:26.

grassroots members, and one of its richest backers.

:11:27.:11:28.

Paul Nuttall is taking a battering, from his own corner.

:11:29.:11:34.

Just under three months into leading his party,

:11:35.:11:36.

he's already been dealt a blow by inaccurate comments

:11:37.:11:39.

on his website claiming he lost close friends

:11:40.:11:40.

But then came tweets by the influential Ukip donor

:11:41.:11:46.

Arron Banks, who wrote that he was

:11:47.:11:48.

"sick to death" of hearing about Hillsborough, adding...

:11:49.:11:52.

It's about time people realised that sometimes life is unfair

:11:53.:11:58.

Tweets that made the party's most senior official

:11:59.:12:02.

in Merseyside feel his position was untenable.

:12:03.:12:07.

It's taken ten years to build Ukip Liverpool and it was destroyed in a

:12:08.:12:14.

matter of a day or so by Aaron Banks. So I thank you personally for

:12:15.:12:20.

actually completely destroying the future of Ukip in Liverpool and on

:12:21.:12:21.

Merseyside. The resignation was meant

:12:22.:12:24.

as an apology to the people of Liverpool, who turned out

:12:25.:12:26.

in their thousands to remember The crowds may have gone now but the

:12:27.:12:44.

sensitivity to comment on Hillsborough and Liverpool is just

:12:45.:12:47.

as role which is why this could be so damaging to the party. -- just as

:12:48.:12:56.

raw. Listening to that rubbish when it is all about the vote is

:12:57.:12:59.

scandalous and he should resign. If people have lost people in a

:13:00.:13:05.

disaster like that, he should have more common sense to say things.

:13:06.:13:09.

That was a genuine mistake. From what I've heard other people say

:13:10.:13:13.

about him, but his reaction to that, I think it was genuine. I think it

:13:14.:13:18.

is terminal for Ukip and difficult to see a way back from this. The

:13:19.:13:26.

comments from Aaron Banks about people milking the disaster are

:13:27.:13:27.

frankly disastrous for the party. Today's resignations are not a call

:13:28.:13:30.

for Paul Nuttall stand down. But it makes his position more

:13:31.:13:32.

precarious as he tries to become an MP in Stoke-on-Trent

:13:33.:13:35.

in just three days' time. One of the most talented

:13:36.:13:39.

and charismatic footballers The Manchester United

:13:40.:13:57.

star's fall from grace - and eventual death after years

:13:58.:14:02.

of alcohol abuse - are explored in a new documentary -

:14:03.:14:04.

which launches in cinemas this week. It includes interviews

:14:05.:14:07.

with both his wives. Earlier, I asked the film's

:14:08.:14:09.

director Daniel Gordon why It's a question I get asked so often

:14:10.:14:11.

and it's a question that I asked myself when I first started

:14:12.:14:16.

doing it - "What can you possibly do "about George Best that

:14:17.:14:19.

hasn't been done before?" And, for me, it was all

:14:20.:14:21.

about getting in deeper than anyone had gone in on before and talking

:14:22.:14:24.

to the people that knew him best and going into the archives

:14:25.:14:27.

and digging out all the archives Some of it has never

:14:28.:14:30.

been seen before. Some of it was shot back

:14:31.:14:33.

in the '60s, put back into a film can and only found again

:14:34.:14:36.

in the archives So, for me, the opportunity to do

:14:37.:14:38.

the full story of George, both the greatness of the football

:14:39.:14:42.

and the darker side, George Best isn't the only

:14:43.:14:45.

footballer who has come through, had a talent, who went

:14:46.:14:48.

off the rails. Do you think now he would've been

:14:49.:14:50.

better protected and they may have been able to keep him

:14:51.:14:53.

on the straight and narrow? He was the first, that

:14:54.:14:56.

was the big problem - he was the first and no-one knew

:14:57.:14:58.

what they were doing, and no-one knew to expect anything,

:14:59.:15:01.

and no-one knew the consequences Interestingly, when George

:15:02.:15:03.

was working at Sky, he went up to interview Sir Alex and asked him

:15:04.:15:07.

the question of, "What would you And he said, "I'm really embarrassed

:15:08.:15:10.

to tell you this to your face "and in front of the camera crew,

:15:11.:15:15.

but we use you as an example And so, you know, Beckham,

:15:16.:15:18.

The Class of '92, Ronaldo in the early part of his career,

:15:19.:15:22.

they drew on the experience, the terrible experience

:15:23.:15:25.

of what happened to George Best, in order to make them better people,

:15:26.:15:27.

better football players. Some people will always regard him

:15:28.:15:29.

as a fantastic footballer. Other people will feel sorry for

:15:30.:15:32.

him - a man who fought his demons and ultimately lost.

:15:33.:15:35.

Others will feel angry. He had a liver transplant,

:15:36.:15:37.

he was given a second chance, and he still drank

:15:38.:15:40.

themselves to death. -- chance, and he still

:15:41.:15:45.

drank himself to death. How did you feel about him

:15:46.:15:47.

at the end of this? He's not 100% saint

:15:48.:15:49.

and he's not 100% sinner. Um, and there's grades, shades

:15:50.:15:53.

in between, and I suspect though, if he was playing today,

:15:54.:15:56.

he may well have gone down the same I think he was that

:15:57.:15:59.

kind of character. I get why people just

:16:00.:16:02.

want to remember the football and admire that and I also

:16:03.:16:05.

understand why people get angry at, you know, the second chance

:16:06.:16:08.

he had that he threw away. Daniel Gordon, thank you.

:16:09.:16:11.

Thank you. George Best: All By Himself

:16:12.:16:12.

is released in cinemas on Friday. Sounds really interesting. It is and

:16:13.:16:25.

he said you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy it that is

:16:26.:16:26.

explored in the documentary. George Best: All By Himself

:16:27.:16:29.

is released in cinemas on Friday. Go on line and find out where it

:16:30.:16:38.

might be showing. Staying with sport, but other sport,

:16:39.:16:44.

the other shaped ball. Richard is here and after a long wait, Wigan

:16:45.:16:48.

are once again champions of the world? Yes! Wane's World! What a

:16:49.:16:59.

fantastic picture of them celebrating.

:17:00.:17:01.

Yes, for the first time since 1994, Wigan won the World Club Challenge

:17:02.:17:04.

and restored some much needed pride for Super League clubs

:17:05.:17:06.

when they beat the Cronulla Sharks 22-6 yesterday.

:17:07.:17:08.

The Aussies have easily had the better of it in recent seasons

:17:09.:17:11.

and there was a real concern that they were losing interest.

:17:12.:17:14.

But the Warriors turned the tables in terrific style and,

:17:15.:17:16.

with Warrington Wolves also beating Brisbane Broncos, it was a clean

:17:17.:17:19.

And to the Wigan Warriors, it means the world.

:17:20.:17:33.

The players have so much desire, so much guts and determination,

:17:34.:17:39.

to get these wins. This win is all for them.

:17:40.:17:47.

I'm delighted and everyone in Wigan is very excited about that.

:17:48.:17:49.

It's a great achievement, isn't it? The fourth time!

:17:50.:17:57.

Warriors fans certainly had plenty to cheer.

:17:58.:17:59.

Oliver Gildart's try, the Warriors' third,

:18:00.:18:05.

put them firmly in control and, after Cronulla responded,

:18:06.:18:07.

star winger Joe Burgess sealed it in style with his hat-trick.

:18:08.:18:13.

I'm glad to say, my first bit of silverware.

:18:14.:18:16.

Yeah, just memorable, very memorable.

:18:17.:18:21.

What do you think you can go on and achieve now?

:18:22.:18:23.

Everything! Win it all!

:18:24.:18:24.

Because I'm desperate for it, very desperate.

:18:25.:18:29.

On a fine weekend for Super League, Warrington Wolves also got

:18:30.:18:32.

the better of NRL opposition on Saturday night.

:18:33.:18:36.

Their excellent 27-18 win over Brisbane Broncos a sign

:18:37.:18:38.

It's massive, because, you know, they are the winning team,

:18:39.:18:47.

in Australia, the best team, and we've beat them

:18:48.:18:49.

and Tony beat them last night, so it's huge for our competition.

:18:50.:18:52.

They played well, they played tough and they took their opportunities.

:18:53.:18:59.

Wigan, who clinched the title on the locations in the '80s

:19:00.:19:02.

and '90s, are now the only club - English or Australian -

:19:03.:19:05.

to win the World crown four times, after a red letter day at the DW

:19:06.:19:09.

You can catch all the weekend's action on the Super League show

:19:10.:19:20.

Now, Manchester United will travel to league leaders Chelsea in

:19:21.:19:25.

the FA Cup quarter final after battling past Blackburn Rovers.

:19:26.:19:27.

Rovers took the lead through Danny Graham before goals

:19:28.:19:31.

from Marcus Rashford and then a winner from substitute Zlatan

:19:32.:19:34.

Jose Mourinho said his side really had to work to get past Rovers.

:19:35.:19:43.

They had a brilliant attitude and if we didn't have

:19:44.:19:47.

this professional attitude with everybody, playing

:19:48.:19:50.

with focus and responsibility, we would be in real trouble.

And Lancashire skier Dave Ryding equalled the best world championship

performance by a British man when he finished 11th

Ryding had been in with a chance of a medal after finishing

Despite slipping down the field on his second,

the Pendle skier described his 11th as "very respectable".

More than that, it is a brilliant performance.

Watch Mourinho's reaction when the mascot tells referee

:21:11.:21:14.

It is brilliant! It's really good. So he says, give red and yellow

cards to... Only to United. Brilliant! I think that is the

me to get nostalgic as well. A little bit of Jimmy, some Miles

point out the videos moments that have happened throughout my life and

see if maybe the viewer can associate with that and say the same

The best of the BBC. Now to get the best of the weather.

:24:31.:24:34.

If this is the best of the weather...

:24:35.:24:42.

It's not worth having. We had a really miserable one even

:24:43.:24:47.

though the rest of the UK had some better weather. Good evening, the

:24:48.:24:52.

heatwave was not for us. And through this week some surprises in store.

:24:53.:24:56.

Some places had some limited spells of sunshine. But the mild weather

:24:57.:25:01.

sticks through tomorrow then look what happens, the cold air comes in

:25:02.:25:06.

and I'm afraid it will be very much the talking point as we head towards

:25:07.:25:11.

midweek and believe it or not, watching this sequence, some rain

:25:12.:25:15.

walking through tonight, some more tomorrow afternoon, that stays for

:25:16.:25:19.

your time on Wednesday. Another weather front coming through. But it

:25:20.:25:25.

is a change in weather direction, and we could have some snow in the

:25:26.:25:29.

midweek. Generally over highest levels but there could be some snow

:25:30.:25:34.

in the forecast. Snow could be possible for some

:25:35.:25:39.

places. But it is about that band of rain today, it brought a huge amount

:25:40.:25:46.

of cloud cover, such a dull day, and through this evening, in the rain

:25:47.:25:50.

should be dropping south. There could be some rakes in the cloud

:25:51.:25:53.

cover but those could be temporarily. This rain should drop

:25:54.:25:59.

south, not really for us, I think it is for the Midlands and North Wales,

:26:00.:26:04.

maybe just a spot of drizzle. Some breaks in the cloud cover but few

:26:05.:26:09.

and far between. Numbers good tonight, still relatively mild, and

:26:10.:26:13.

the best of the weather tomorrow will be about waiting for another

:26:14.:26:19.

weather front, but not until the end of the day, most of the day will be

:26:20.:26:24.

all right, then a lot of cloud cover, tonnes of sunshine across the

:26:25.:26:28.

Pennines, maybe sub rates bills here, but heading towards two or

:26:29.:26:33.

three o'clock towards tea-time, rain spreading everywhere and it will sit

:26:34.:26:37.

with us, and the colours of highest levels could mean some heavy bursts.

:26:38.:26:42.

Add the wind could pick up. We have mild air but the worst of everything

:26:43.:26:49.

going with it. The train goes through on Tuesday night, another

:26:50.:26:55.

front on Wednesday and some went conditions midweek. -- the rain goes

:26:56.:26:56.

through. I was not pleased with what you

said. And remember Stuart Flinders was talking about Blackpool and it
