Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Stuart Flinders

:00:00.:00:00.

Misery for commuters as rail workers vote to strike

:00:00.:00:07.

Unfortunately, whenever there is a dispute in transport,

:00:08.:00:14.

The train companies say the new system is safe.

:00:15.:00:22.

The Blackpool couple murdered by a terrorist gunman in Tunisia -

:00:23.:00:26.

now their family aims to sue the holiday company.

:00:27.:00:34.

It's not a day goes by when you do not think about them. They are

:00:35.:00:39.

always in your thoughts and your heart.

:00:40.:00:41.

Our Brexit road trip reaches Liverpool, which was among

:00:42.:00:43.

The teenager with learning difficulties who's overcome big

:00:44.:00:50.

Tens of thousands of passengers are facing disruption as rail

:00:51.:01:09.

workers at two North West rail companies vote for strike action.

:01:10.:01:14.

Workers at Merseyrail and Northern will walk out in a dispute

:01:15.:01:18.

Strike action is planned for the 13th March.

:01:19.:01:23.

In a moment we'll here from the RMT Union, but first Steve Saul explains

:01:24.:01:26.

This row is about driver only trains - an issue that's brought misery

:01:27.:01:32.

to passengers in London and the South East for

:01:33.:01:35.

Now, in a major escalation of the dispute, members of the RMT

:01:36.:01:40.

rail union have voted overwhelmingly to strike on Northern trains run

:01:41.:01:43.

by Arriva Rail North, and on Merseyrail.

:01:44.:01:46.

The first 24-hour strike is due to take place on March the 13th.

:01:47.:01:57.

We are incredibly disappointed that the RMT have taken this premature

:01:58.:02:03.

action. We are 12 months away from considering any changes.

:02:04.:02:05.

Although they plan to remove safety-trained guards

:02:06.:02:07.

from the trains, both companies say they will still have a ticket

:02:08.:02:10.

collector on many trains to help the public.

:02:11.:02:12.

They say the only difference will be that in future the driver will be

:02:13.:02:15.

responsible for opening and closing the doors.

:02:16.:02:16.

Merseyrail is spending ?460 million on new driver-only trains.

:02:17.:02:19.

They'll have CCTV in the driver's cab showing the full

:02:20.:02:22.

length of the train, a sliding safety step

:02:23.:02:25.

They say they won't make anyone redundant and

:02:26.:02:29.

The trains adopt all of the latest technology when it comes to suburban

:02:30.:02:43.

Metro trains and they operate safely. The safety regulator has

:02:44.:02:47.

said they are safe as well. That's what we are looking to do on the

:02:48.:02:52.

Merseyrail network. It's no different to what happens on the

:02:53.:02:55.

London Underground every day and they have been operating without

:02:56.:02:56.

guards for 17 years. The fear now for rail passengers

:02:57.:02:58.

is that the dispute could become as long as bitter as the series

:02:59.:03:01.

of strikes which has often paralysed Regular commuters will be hoping

:03:02.:03:04.

that the two sides can somehow reach Most people are sympathetic but the

:03:05.:03:14.

rail strikes have gone on a long time and the only people suffering

:03:15.:03:18.

are ordinary workers. Everybody is in trouble because they need to get

:03:19.:03:19.

to work. Earlier I spoke to John Tilley,

:03:20.:03:26.

the regional organiser I asked him about his members'

:03:27.:03:42.

concerns. The proposals are that we remove the card from the train and

:03:43.:03:45.

the passengers are going to be left on their own with only a driver

:03:46.:03:51.

locked in his cab or her cab at the front of the train. The passengers

:03:52.:03:56.

don't want that. A lot of these services will have other people on

:03:57.:04:01.

board, these customer services role on board. That is an extra person,

:04:02.:04:06.

isn't it? It depends which company you are talking about. On

:04:07.:04:16.

Merseyrail, they are proposing that there will be a second customer

:04:17.:04:22.

service person on 25 per cent of the trains. That means 75% of the trains

:04:23.:04:27.

won't have a second person. And even the 25% who do, they would be a

:04:28.:04:32.

safety trained, safety qualified person who is able to deal with an

:04:33.:04:35.

incident should the driver be incapacitated. Are your members

:04:36.:04:42.

prepare for a long and protracted strike? If you take the example of

:04:43.:04:47.

Southern rail, are you prepared for that appear? I think the ballot

:04:48.:04:54.

result gives you the answer to that. We have had massive yes votes from

:04:55.:04:58.

our members in an independent postal ballot. But your members might be

:04:59.:05:05.

prepared for that but what about the passengers? Will they be prepared

:05:06.:05:10.

for a summer of strikes? Unfortunately, whenever there is a

:05:11.:05:15.

dispute in transport, the passengers are affected by that. I understand

:05:16.:05:21.

that. Here is the real issue. As we stand at the moment, our members'

:05:22.:05:26.

industrial action is the only thing standing between driver only

:05:27.:05:30.

operated trains and the passengers themselves. We are their last line

:05:31.:05:34.

of protection. We have campaigned, we have spoken to MPs but they

:05:35.:05:40.

haven't listened and we are now the last line of defence on behalf of

:05:41.:05:43.

the passengers for the less safe railway. In a word, are you prepared

:05:44.:05:50.

to strike until you get the deal you want, no matter how long that is? We

:05:51.:05:56.

will defend the safety operational role of the Garda. The dispute is

:05:57.:06:01.

now two weeks away. There is a window of opportunity for the

:06:02.:06:03.

employers to speak to us about how we retain guards. Not surrender

:06:04.:06:08.

talks about how we get rid of them, talks about how we keep them. That

:06:09.:06:11.

should be utilised by the bosses. The family of a Blackpool couple

:06:12.:06:14.

shot dead by a terrorist in Tunisia two years ago say their pain

:06:15.:06:17.

will never go away. Denis and Elaine Thwaites were among

:06:18.:06:21.

38 people killed when an Islamist Today a coroner said the response

:06:22.:06:24.

by Tunisian police had been Relatives say they're furious

:06:25.:06:30.

at the security failures, and are also planning to sue

:06:31.:06:35.

the holiday company. Our reporter Ian Haslam

:06:36.:06:39.

was at the High court in London. The inquest here at the Royal Courts

:06:40.:06:44.

of Justice began just over six weeks ago with a coroner today ruling

:06:45.:06:49.

that the 38 victims were "unlawfully killed" by a gunman at a hotel

:06:50.:06:52.

in Sousse in June 2015. Among those who lost their lives

:06:53.:07:05.

were Denis and Elaine Thwaites. They were genuinely lovely people.

:07:06.:07:30.

They would light up any room they walked in. They had hearts of gold

:07:31.:07:34.

and they would dearly love by friends and family. The last 18

:07:35.:07:38.

months have been pretty much horrendous. To say the least. Every

:07:39.:07:48.

day, it is just a struggle. They had lived in Blackpool for many years.

:07:49.:07:55.

In retirement, they loved to go on holiday but in June 20 15, two days

:07:56.:08:01.

after arriving in Sousse, they were shot dead along with 36 other

:08:02.:08:05.

people. An Islamist gunmen opened fire as people relaxed on some

:08:06.:08:10.

lounges. When people go on holiday, they should feel safe. At this

:08:11.:08:15.

moment in time, yes, we are quite angry as a family and a group of

:08:16.:08:20.

people, we don't think throughout the inquest process that enough has

:08:21.:08:25.

really come to the surface. We've had to put quite a lot to bring

:08:26.:08:31.

evidence in front of the coroner. Today the coroner described the

:08:32.:08:34.

police response as at best shambolic and at worst cowardly. I think it

:08:35.:08:43.

was cowardly. I don't know what went through their heads at the time.

:08:44.:08:47.

Obviously it is a horrifying situation but that is what they are

:08:48.:08:51.

trained for. The families of those killed wanted the coroner to

:08:52.:08:54.

consider whether neglect by the holiday firm was a factor in their

:08:55.:09:00.

relatives' deaths but he rejected a finding of neglect. We will now be

:09:01.:09:04.

preparing to commence civil proceedings. The inquest was about

:09:05.:09:08.

those who tragically lost their lives. They must never be forgotten.

:09:09.:09:13.

The company denies it was neglectful. I think the travel

:09:14.:09:21.

companies could have done more. When you look at travel advice and give

:09:22.:09:24.

that to your customer, when you are booking online, they should have

:09:25.:09:28.

been more information out there. At the time there wasn't. What do you

:09:29.:09:35.

feel now towards Tunisian police? Very angry that they could not get

:09:36.:09:39.

there quickly enough. However, you can't just look at that person, you

:09:40.:09:44.

look at the training they've had all stop the amount of love and support

:09:45.:09:50.

messages we have had keeps us going. They later told me that today is

:09:51.:09:54.

their third wedding anniversary, pointing out that they want --

:09:55.:09:58.

wedding day was the happiest day of their lives while this is one of

:09:59.:10:00.

their very worst. As we heard in the report,

:10:01.:10:06.

the couple, along with other families, will now sue the tour

:10:07.:10:08.

operator who, as mentioned, And Danny and Lindsey say they'll

:10:09.:10:11.

now, with the other families, do all they can to prevent a similar

:10:12.:10:14.

tragedy ever happening again. Police investigating a fire

:10:15.:10:19.

in Manchester's Chinatown in which two homeless men died

:10:20.:10:22.

:10:32.:10:36.

has gone on trial accused of causing grievous bodily harm to ten patients

:10:37.:10:40.

by carrying out unnecessary The jury was told that Ian Paterson

:10:49.:10:51.

all the charges against him. The trial is expected

:10:52.:10:56.

to last ten weeks. Liverpool's bid to host

:10:57.:11:00.

the Commonwealth Games could be The city intended to bid

:11:01.:11:03.

for the 2026 games but after it emerged that Durban may be unable

:11:04.:11:09.

to remain as host in 2022 because of financial constraints,

:11:10.:11:13.

Liverpool's thrown its hat Talks between the council,

:11:14.:11:16.

the government and the Commonwealth Games organisers

:11:17.:11:20.

are in the very early stages. Details have been released about how

:11:21.:11:22.

you can pay the tolls The Mersey Gateway Bridge is due

:11:23.:11:25.

to open in the autumn. Motorbikes and local

:11:26.:11:29.

buses won't have to pay. But it'll cost ?2 for cars and ?8

:11:30.:11:31.

for the heaviest HGVs. There are discounts for local people

:11:32.:11:34.

and local businesses. Even in rotten weather,

:11:35.:11:36.

work on the new bridge carries on. Today saw the launch of the company

:11:37.:11:42.

that will run the tolls. It's called Merseyflow and it

:11:43.:11:45.

will use toll booths. It's called Merseyflow and it

:11:46.:11:57.

will not use toll booths. There will be no barriers,

:11:58.:11:59.

you will just drive straight across and the technology

:12:00.:12:03.

on the gantries will read your license plate or the sticker

:12:04.:12:05.

of your registry user. The website went live today

:12:06.:12:08.

with advice on payment options. There was talk of people

:12:09.:12:11.

from Warrington and Cheshire West being exempt from charges but only

:12:12.:12:14.

people living in Holton, the borough that straddles

:12:15.:12:17.

the river here, will be. What we've tried to do is put

:12:18.:12:21.

together a scheme that pays the bills but is fair and that

:12:22.:12:25.

enables people to take advantage of what is a fabulous

:12:26.:12:28.

piece of infrastructure. The tolls range from ?2

:12:29.:12:31.

for cars to ?8 for HGVs, travel free if they pay an annual

:12:32.:12:35.

?10 registration fee. Blue badge holders are also exempt

:12:36.:12:42.

if they pay a one-off ?5 fee. And there are various

:12:43.:12:47.

pre-pay and travel pass If you don't register

:12:48.:12:49.

for any of the schemes, automatic number plate cameras

:12:50.:12:54.

will know when your vehicle You'll then have until midnight

:12:55.:12:58.

the next day to pay the ?2 and if you don't, penalties

:12:59.:13:04.

will start to kick in and that When the new bridge opens,

:13:05.:13:08.

the old Silver Jubilee Bridge When it reopens it

:13:09.:13:14.

too will be tolled. The local business forum says some

:13:15.:13:20.

smaller companies are worried. I think they are worried

:13:21.:13:24.

about the impact on their bottom line but we are here to help

:13:25.:13:27.

support our members through any difficult times that they may

:13:28.:13:30.

be feeling right now. Others say the long-term

:13:31.:13:34.

advantage is worth it. Hours in traffic jams,

:13:35.:13:37.

it adds stress to the employers, stresses to the people you're

:13:38.:13:41.

meeting with, so people would rather know with certainty they can get

:13:42.:13:44.

to their appointment times Registration for the discount

:13:45.:13:48.

schemes opens this summer. A bit bleak out there tonight.

:13:49.:14:10.

Diane will be here later to tell us if it's going to get any better.

:14:11.:14:16.

Still to come, our Brexit Road trip arrives in Liverpool as the

:14:17.:14:19.

government prepares to trigger Brexit.

:14:20.:14:25.

And could Katie be skating for gold? The teenager with learning

:14:26.:14:28.

difficulties who has overcome big challenge is to represent her

:14:29.:14:31.

country. For somebody who suffered a stroke

:14:32.:14:35.

as a tiny baby to come this far is amazing. I wouldn't think I would be

:14:36.:14:37.

here today. As Brexit Britain gets

:14:38.:14:40.

ready to leave the EU, this week we're on a road trip

:14:41.:14:43.

of the region to get a sense of how Last night we heard

:14:44.:14:47.

from the Eurosceptics in Blackpool, who told us they're experiencing

:14:48.:14:52.

a Brexit bounce when Tonight though we're

:14:53.:14:54.

with the Europhiles of Liverpool, who aren't so optimistic

:14:55.:14:58.

about the process. Here's our social affairs

:14:59.:15:00.

correspondent Clare Fallon. With the first stop on our big

:15:01.:15:21.

Brexit tour ticked off, we have left Blackpool and are heading south.

:15:22.:15:29.

Next up is a city where, based on the referendum result, they would

:15:30.:15:32.

like to be doing a U-turn right now because 58% of those who voted in

:15:33.:15:35.

Liverpool voted to remain. At this design company in the city

:15:36.:15:46.

centre, they are pretty good at looking into the future when it

:15:47.:15:50.

comes to technology. Their office feels like a mad science lab. With

:15:51.:15:56.

global clients and international workforce, Brexit is not the future

:15:57.:16:04.

the boss wanted. Our team is 20% International, we've probably got

:16:05.:16:08.

eight or nine people from Europe and our ability to attract and then

:16:09.:16:16.

employ those European members of staff is definitely a concern for

:16:17.:16:21.

me. I suppose there will be some people, when you talk about

:16:22.:16:25.

employing people from EU countries, who will think, why don't you just

:16:26.:16:29.

hire British people? I think it is a fair point but in our business there

:16:30.:16:36.

is a huge skills gap. Liverpool sees itself as a global player and sells

:16:37.:16:40.

itself as a gateway to the rest of the world. Another Brexit sceptic

:16:41.:16:46.

business leader told me there is still nervousness about what comes

:16:47.:16:53.

next. Gary Pugh -- very few of the people campaigning said we would

:16:54.:16:57.

come out of the single market. It now transpires that part of this

:16:58.:17:02.

deal is out of the single market and out of the customs union. What

:17:03.:17:05.

impact that has on people who import and export is still unclear. Next

:17:06.:17:10.

few ordinary people who live here. With our caravan park at the Pier

:17:11.:17:15.

head, we invited them to talk about Brexit. The younger generation

:17:16.:17:20.

probably were fearful of what would come because that is all they've

:17:21.:17:26.

known. They are scared about immigration and the NHS and things

:17:27.:17:32.

like that. It would be nice to have the freedom to go and work in the

:17:33.:17:38.

European Union. But I guess the country has spoken. Spoken, yes, but

:17:39.:17:45.

the deal itself is not yet done and that means there is time for

:17:46.:17:50.

pitching and lobbying. A professor from Liverpool University is calling

:17:51.:17:52.

for measures to make sure poorer students don't miss out. You can at

:17:53.:17:56.

the moment make it very easy for students who come from less affluent

:17:57.:18:02.

backgrounds to get an overseas experience but if we are stretching

:18:03.:18:07.

our institutional resource very thin in order to support students

:18:08.:18:10.

travelling abroad for part of their period of steady, then necessarily

:18:11.:18:16.

opportunities will be limited. As stadiums tonight, we have one final

:18:17.:18:23.

Place to stop in Liverpool. Since the referendum, there has been a

:18:24.:18:28.

stampede of Irish Brits applying for Irish passports, though even here at

:18:29.:18:32.

the city's Irish centre, not everyone is on the same song sheet.

:18:33.:18:36.

My husband is Irish and he voted to leave and I had a terrible argument

:18:37.:18:41.

about it. On the day it happened, I wouldn't even speak to him and my

:18:42.:18:46.

daughter wouldn't speak to him. Our relationship with Ireland is

:18:47.:18:50.

extremely important and the problems it will cause with Northern Ireland

:18:51.:18:54.

are really worrying. The nation made the wrong decision but that will be

:18:55.:18:57.

borne out in what happens in the next few years, of course. Right or

:18:58.:19:04.

wrong, like it or not, the destination has been set. The next

:19:05.:19:08.

step will be figuring out the route to Brexit.

:19:09.:19:14.

A fascinating series. We will find out tomorrow with the caravan is

:19:15.:19:17.

going to be. It has really divided whole

:19:18.:19:18.

families. The body that oversees

:19:19.:19:19.

boxing is investigating David Haye's threat to put

:19:20.:19:21.

Merseyside's Tony The two heavyweights meet

:19:22.:19:23.

in the ring this weekend. Haye launched into an astonishing

:19:24.:19:27.

foul-mouthed rant at a news conference in Liverpool,

:19:28.:19:29.

describing the city's Tony Bellew described

:19:30.:19:34.

the comments as distasteful. There is flash photography from the

:19:35.:19:48.

start. The fight, scheduled

:19:49.:19:51.

for the O2 Arena in London this Saturday, almost started early

:19:52.:19:53.

as Haye and Bellew Tony Bellew, an Everton

:19:54.:19:55.

fan, was on home ground and the audience let Haye know

:19:56.:19:59.

where its sympathies lay. Haye continued in the

:20:00.:20:02.

same vein afterwards. When I throw a body

:20:03.:20:23.

shot, I am trying to break your ribs, when I throw a shot

:20:24.:20:25.

round the side, I'm trying to perforate your eardrum, if I'm

:20:26.:20:28.

punching down the middle, I'll rupture your eye socket, I'll

:20:29.:20:30.

punch your teeth down your throat. The British Boxing Board

:20:31.:20:33.

of Control has the job Its general secretary

:20:34.:20:37.

told us today, "We're not happy.

:20:38.:20:41.

The comments are inappropriate. "It will be discussed

:20:42.:20:43.

at our board meeting next week." Tony Bellew took

:20:44.:20:45.

it all in his stride. Very distasteful and wrong

:20:46.:20:48.

to say these things. I'm going to be totally honest

:20:49.:20:51.

and say, I'm not in a ring to hurt I am in a ring so the referee can

:20:52.:20:54.

just count to ten Is there genuine

:20:55.:21:00.

animosity between them? Do they do it just for PR and why

:21:01.:21:10.

does it have to be so extreme? Jurgen Klopp said his Liverpool team

:21:11.:21:28.

were poor in the beginning, the middle and the end of their 3-1

:21:29.:21:31.

defeat at Leicester City last night. Danny Drinkwater, with this cracker,

:21:32.:21:35.

and Jamie Vardy did the damage before Phillipe Coutinho grabbed

:21:36.:21:38.

a late consolation goal. Rugby union, and Sale Sharks have

:21:39.:21:45.

announced the signing of Scottish The back row forward,

:21:46.:21:49.

currently with Glasgow Warriors, has signed a three year deal

:21:50.:21:52.

Stephanie Gott from Runcorn will be competing in

the Special Olympics As a baby, a stroke left her

:22:09.:22:10.

with learning difficulties and restricted movement

:22:11.:22:16.

in her arms and legs. But she's overcome those

:22:17.:22:19.

challenges and now has real Final preparations for what Steph

:22:20.:22:22.

hopes will be a gold-medal routine. When you see this, it's hard

:22:23.:22:36.

to believe she only began I started and I took to it

:22:37.:22:39.

like a duck to water. For somebody who's got a very weak

:22:40.:22:45.

leg and a poorly arm who suffered a stroke as a tiny baby

:22:46.:22:48.

to come this far is amazing. I wouldn't think I

:22:49.:22:53.

would be here today. She is amazing and what she's

:22:54.:22:56.

achieved is incredible. She was so poorly when she was

:22:57.:22:59.

a baby and now she's amazing. Her coach Pam has been helping

:23:00.:23:05.

prepare Steph to take on the world. She's worked really, really hard,

:23:06.:23:13.

she is very determined and because of that I am just really

:23:14.:23:16.

pleased for her and I hope that I can help her release her potential

:23:17.:23:21.

when she's in Austria. In Austria, Steph will be one

:23:22.:23:29.

of 20 British athletes, competing against 3,000 from around

the world in the Special Olympics Winter Games for athletes

with intellectual disabilities. Steph has been training four times

:23:38.:23:43.

a week here on the ice to prepare for Austria and she's been given

:23:44.:23:47.

even greater inspiration by Britain's if not the world's

:23:48.:23:50.

most famous ice skaters. Steph has already met Torvill

:23:51.:23:54.

and Dean and they will be travelling out to Austria to support

:23:55.:23:58.

the British team. Steph is firmly on track

:23:59.:24:05.

to achieve her goal of gold. We woke up to a bit of a covering

:24:06.:24:43.

this morning. Our weather watchers really did

:24:44.:24:56.

manage to catch at around the region. If it lingered where you

:24:57.:25:01.

work, mainly it was over the highest levels. Over the next couple of days

:25:02.:25:06.

we could see a little bit more of this. We are firmly in the cold air.

:25:07.:25:11.

If you look at the arrows, that is the way the wind is blowing. It is

:25:12.:25:16.

sticking with us until the weekend. There will be subtle changes in the

:25:17.:25:19.

forecast but these weather fronts allowed the rain to fall and as we

:25:20.:25:24.

have the cold air there will be some snow falling again. Perhaps we will

:25:25.:25:28.

see some tomorrow night. By the time you get through to Sunday it will be

:25:29.:25:32.

less cold and temperatures could be creeping back in to double figures.

:25:33.:25:37.

Plenty of wet weather. You will have seen plenty of rain this afternoon.

:25:38.:25:43.

Quite unpleasant day for all of us. Nothing in the way of brightness.

:25:44.:25:48.

Tomorrow is a better day in terms of brightness. This is our latest radar

:25:49.:25:53.

picture. They could be one or two hailstorms. It could be quite lively

:25:54.:25:57.

for a short while but it is dying away and over the next couple of

:25:58.:26:01.

hours it should all start to drop south. But the story is, the showers

:26:02.:26:07.

will die away. You will see is unclear whether but there is a

:26:08.:26:10.

strong enough breeze to make sure it is not quite as cold as it was last

:26:11.:26:15.

night. It could be two or three in the towns and cities. Any showers

:26:16.:26:21.

that fall shouldn't be too wintry in nature. Along the coast you will be

:26:22.:26:27.

up at around 4 degrees. Tomorrow, from the word go there should be

:26:28.:26:30.

some reasonable spells of sunshine and that's how it stays. We have

:26:31.:26:35.

showers and they could be wintry but for most of us there will be showers

:26:36.:26:41.

but through the afternoon they will die off and the sunshine will be the

:26:42.:26:45.

main feature of the weather. The breeze is not too strong but you can

:26:46.:26:49.

see what's happening behind me, the next line of rain is coming through

:26:50.:26:52.

behind me and that will appear tomorrow night. They could be a

:26:53.:26:56.

little bit more snow in the forecast tomorrow night.

:26:57.:27:02.

It always gets better in March, doesn't it? But we are going into

:27:03.:27:06.

March. Have you ever seen a parrot

:27:07.:27:09.

eat using a fork and He lives with his owner in Urmston

:27:10.:27:13.

and has learned to eat bird food, as well as ham

:27:14.:27:20.

and chicken, using cutlery. He also enjoys with taking the tops

:27:21.:27:22.

off beer bottles with his beak, watching football and taking trips

:27:23.:27:25.

to the pub. A very useful parrot!

:27:26.:27:35.

But can he toss a pancake? No. Goodbye.

:27:36.:27:50.
