:11:22. > :11:26.Farren from the Lib Dems there, what do Labour say? Labour have been
:11:27. > :11:29.critical of the announcement of ?2 billion for social care. In parts of
:11:30. > :11:35.Lancashire, Merseyside, they feel they are close to failing the public
:11:36. > :11:40.in terms of social care. I spoke to the Labour MP for Salford, she said
:11:41. > :11:43.that ?2 billion across the country is insulting. The Chancellor doesn't

:12:29. > :12:31.should have been highly trained, used to dealing with the most
:12:32. > :12:34.dangerous situation. Now we have learned that two of them had failed
:12:35. > :12:41.a training course in the weeks before. One of them, only known as Z
:12:42. > :12:45.15 had made such serious safety breaches on that training exercise,
:12:46. > :12:51.it could have ended his career as a firearms officer. The other who
:12:52. > :12:55.failed, X seven, was the most senior firearms officer here when Anthony
:12:56. > :12:59.Grainger was shot dead, effectively running the operation on the ground.
:13:00. > :13:05.Having heard the details during today's hearing, Anthony Grainger's
:13:06. > :13:07.Palmer told me that she finds these revelations deeply upsetting.
:13:08. > :13:12.Concerning. Concerning evidence, all of it. It is quite shocking. How
:13:13. > :13:16.difficult is that for you to sit through and hear all of those
:13:17. > :13:24.details? Hard. Hard and emotional draining. We just want some answers.
:13:25. > :13:28.We want to find out what really happened that night and why Anthony
:13:29. > :13:33.is not here. Giving evidence today, Michael Lawlor. He is now retired,
:13:34. > :13:36.but at the time, he was head of firearms and heavily involved in
:13:37. > :13:39.planning the Greater Manchester Police operation which ended in
:13:40. > :13:44.Anthony Grainger's death. He told the enquiry that he didn't think the
:13:45. > :13:48.police force knew that they had felt that course until after the event
:13:49. > :13:51.and that he had destroyed a book containing some of his notes about
:13:52. > :14:02.the operation when he left the police force. He said... The enquiry
:14:03. > :14:05.is still to hear from the police officer who shot Anthony Grainger.
:14:06. > :14:11.The public hearing is scheduled to last a few more weeks.
:14:12. > :14:17.For the past three days we've been looking at the issue of air
:14:18. > :14:19.pollution, which affects the health of thousands of people
:14:20. > :14:24.Vehciles are thought to be the biggest problem.
:14:25. > :14:26.In a moment, we'll be speaking to James Noakes,
:14:27. > :14:28.from Liverpool City Council, about plans to create
:14:29. > :14:31.But first our Environment Correspondent Judy Hobson has been
:14:32. > :14:34.to Switzerland and Germany to see how two cities have managed

:14:39. > :14:41.it welcomes shoppers, bankers and tourists, but not cars.
:14:42. > :14:44.Parking places are scarce and expensive.
:14:45. > :14:55.It's a deliberate policy to cut air pollution.
:14:56. > :14:57.We don't believe in bullying people and don't say you must
:14:58. > :15:02.leave your car at home, otherwise you are a bad person.
:15:03. > :15:06.But we say we have another option that is really good.
:15:07. > :15:13.By that, he means cheap and efficient public transport.
:15:14. > :15:16.By law, every city centre resident has to live within 500 metres
:15:17. > :15:20.Half the urban population don't own a car.
:15:21. > :15:31.When I for example go eating and drinking,
:15:32. > :15:42.This square used top be full of parking places.
:15:43. > :15:47.Now cars are banned and its measures like this that have
:15:48. > :15:49.helped dissuade people from bringing their vehicles
:15:50. > :15:52.As a result, pollution levels have dropped
:15:53. > :15:57.dramatically over the past ten years.
:15:58. > :16:00.A two hour train ride away is Freigburg in Germany,
:16:01. > :16:05.The most popular way to commute is by bicycle.
:16:06. > :16:12.One area has been built and designed for people not to need cars.
:16:13. > :16:15.This is the district of Vauban, a sustainable area.
:16:16. > :16:24.You can have a car, but you have to pay 18,000 euros
:16:25. > :16:28.You can have a car, but you have to pay 18,000 euros just
:16:29. > :16:31.All the shops are nearby, so day-to-day life is not very
:16:32. > :16:35.Especially for kids, it is fantastic.
:16:36. > :16:37.In summer, you see all the streets are in the
:16:38. > :16:39.street and they are playing together.
:16:40. > :16:41.I would have loved to live here as a kid.
:16:42. > :16:43.Like Zurich, it's an efficient public transport system which has
:16:44. > :16:49.helped make a difference, but also careful own planning.
:16:50. > :16:53.We don't have big shops at the border of the city,
:16:54. > :16:55.where you can buy milk and a television.
:16:56. > :17:10.We have shops in every residential area so you can

:17:14. > :17:17.Even here, more l needs to be done to further reduce emissions,
:17:18. > :17:20.but Freigburg and Zurich show how urban air pollution can be reduced.
:17:21. > :17:22.It shows policies in places like Manchester
:17:23. > :17:26.much further, if we're to have any chance of cleaning up
:17:27. > :17:34.Last week, Liverpool City Council published its proposals to cut
:17:35. > :17:42.pollution, including restricting diesel vehicles by 2022.
:17:43. > :17:45.But last year when the government announced five cities would be given
:17:46. > :17:51.the powers to create "clean air zones", Liverpool was missed out.
:17:52. > :17:55.Earlier I spoke to James Noakes, from the council, and asked him
:17:56. > :17:58.without the legal powers how could they implement any changes?
:17:59. > :18:01.Well, I think that it's clear the direction of travel that the
:18:02. > :18:04.Government and cities are going on here in the UK.
:18:05. > :18:07.Last year, the Government was taken to court and
:18:08. > :18:15.had to admit that its own policies and its own
:18:16. > :18:17.approach was illegal, so it is having to respond
:18:18. > :18:22.to that and as part of that, it is having
:18:23. > :18:25.to that and as part of that, it is having to give
:18:26. > :18:29.Liverpool is quite confident that some of the ideas that we will bring
:18:30. > :18:31.forward and approaches we want to take will help
:18:32. > :18:33.tackle inequalities where the Government has failed.
:18:34. > :18:35.You can't for instance ban diesel cars
:18:36. > :18:37.or introduce congestion charge, can you?
:18:38. > :18:41.At the moment, what we want to do is explore what the options are
:18:42. > :18:44.To do that, we want to have a genuine conversation
:18:45. > :18:52.with the people of the city, with people such as taxi drivers, bus
:18:53. > :18:57.operators, others who contribute towards the issues that we see with
:18:58. > :19:01.Then we will put forward proposals for the mayor
:19:02. > :19:04.to take on board, working in conjunction with not just the rest
:19:05. > :19:06.of the city, that the city region as well.
:19:07. > :19:09.Part of that will inevitably be how we put pressure on Government
:19:10. > :19:15.Do you think there comes a time when people in Liverpool should
:19:16. > :19:16.think again before buying a diesel car?
:19:17. > :19:20.As a diesel car owner myself, I know the situation that many people
:19:21. > :19:26.Of considering that they thought they had done the right
:19:27. > :19:29.thing, maybe they did in terms of carbon emissions, but it has added
:19:30. > :19:32.to a different problem in terms of our air quality.
:19:33. > :19:35.What we want to do in the city is to bring those people
:19:36. > :19:38.We don't want to be particularly punitive with people,
:19:39. > :19:42.we want to have a conversation with those people to come up with ideas
:19:43. > :19:47.One of the things that the mayor has already said is that we want to join
:19:48. > :19:50.with London and other cities to call for the Government to introduce a
:19:51. > :19:53.Those people who have invested in good faith in
:19:54. > :19:56.diesel vehicles can find a different way of getting an alternative
:19:57. > :20:15.Talking about me then. People who invested in a diesel car thinking

:20:21. > :20:22.so on. Didn't do much wrong with the air pollution in Liverpool today, it

:20:27. > :20:32.the Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has
:20:33. > :20:37.criticised the pitch. And Mourinho says the pitch
:20:38. > :20:40.is so bad he doesn't know It is hard for me to believe
:20:41. > :20:44.that we are going to play tomorrow on that field,
:20:45. > :20:51.if you can call it a field. He must've done that interview in
:20:52. > :21:02.the bathroom, honestly. In the Championship Wigan Athletic
:21:03. > :21:04.boosted their chances of avoiding relegation,
:21:05. > :21:06.with a hard-earned victory Dan Burn scored the only
:21:07. > :21:09.goal of the game. It was the Latics' first win in five
:21:10. > :21:12.league matches and lifts them And in League two, Blackpool came

:21:33. > :21:37.confident he will win. The pair will meet in the ring
:21:38. > :21:43.in Auckland on May the 6th. Wigan will be celebrating
:21:44. > :21:45.one of its most famous George Orwell's book
:21:46. > :21:52.The Road to Wigan Pier It exposed the grimness of life
:21:53. > :21:59.there and in other Northern Towns And, as Dave Guest reports,
:22:00. > :22:02.it earned Wigan a place It is 1936 and a young writer
:22:03. > :22:08.is aboard a train reflecting on his "The train bore me away
:22:09. > :22:20.through the monstrous "scenery of slack heaps, chimneys,
:22:21. > :22:22.piled scrap iron, foul canals, paths of cindery mud crisscrossed
:22:23. > :22:24.by the prints of clogs. That young writer was Eric Blair
:22:25. > :22:27.and the journey was to inspire this, The Road To Wigan
:22:28. > :22:30.Pier, a book published the following year under his pen
:22:31. > :22:34.name of George Orwell. He wasn't there to write a travel
:22:35. > :22:37.brochure, he was there to tell people this is not right
:22:38. > :22:40.and something should be done. I think it was a massive
:22:41. > :22:42.friend to Wigan and He actually took well
:22:43. > :22:45.to the people here. And experienced the life
:22:46. > :22:48.as best he could as they He did that by taking a room
:22:49. > :22:51.above a tripe shop on Darlington street is still
:22:52. > :22:58.here, sadly number 22 What he experienced here
:22:59. > :23:01.was to form the basis of a Orwell's book detailed the squalor
:23:02. > :23:07.and poverty in the industrial wastelands of the Midlands and
:23:08. > :23:10.the north which he taught during the This is the pier that
:23:11. > :23:18.all the fuss was about. In fact, it is a replica
:23:19. > :23:21.of the original coal tip. After years of trying
:23:22. > :23:28.to live down the Orwellian image, Wigan decided
:23:29. > :23:31.to embrace its industrial past as It is 1986 and the Queen
:23:32. > :23:34.is opening a new When it opened this place was truly
:23:35. > :23:47.ground-breaking. It is one of the first
:23:48. > :23:49.interactive museums where visitors could truly immerse
:23:50. > :23:51.themselves in past times. Of course, times change,
:23:52. > :23:53.fashions change, the museum is no more and they are
:23:54. > :23:56.looking for a new use for this The council is convinced it
:23:57. > :24:00.will find someone willing to take it It is an iconic address, I imagine
:24:01. > :24:05.if you were a business with Wigan Pier as your address,
:24:06. > :24:07.everyone would know where it is. For that, we can can thank
:24:08. > :24:23.an author whose book was Interesting. Very interesting. It
:24:24. > :24:28.looks as we said earlier, Liverpool looked very nice to date, Wiggin
:24:29. > :24:31.didn't look very nice in those pictures, but to date, Simon? We
:24:32. > :24:34.could taste it, can we? A little bit of spring in the air today.
:24:35. > :24:43.nice for all of us. We started off with a fair amount of cloud, but you
:24:44. > :24:48.can see as that cloud melts away, glorious sunshine. The Manchester
:24:49. > :24:52.area, Merseyside and Cheshire as well. This lovely picture that comes
:24:53. > :25:01.from Cumbria today. Clear blue skies. Not too bad either in
:25:02. > :25:08.Cheshire. Nice to walk the dog. This evening, clear spells. Chance of a
:25:09. > :25:11.shower or two in the Isle of Man, up towards Cumbria, perhaps north
:25:12. > :25:15.Lancashire. A dry night. Wind picking up into the early hours of
:25:16. > :25:18.Thursday morning, temperatures overnight down to about seven or 8
:25:19. > :25:26.degrees. For Thursday, another glorious days is expected. A strong
:25:27. > :25:32.breeze. That breeze will blow those clouds away and look at this, barely
:25:33. > :25:40.a cloud in the sky as we go into lunchtime and early afternoon. Once
:25:41. > :25:44.again getting into double figures. Again, lots of sunshine. It is going
:25:45. > :25:48.to feel like spring. Going through Thursday into Friday, look at this
:25:49. > :25:52.area of low pressure in the Atlantic that is throwing this weather fronts
:25:53. > :25:56.towards the UK. But it is also bringing with it some mild air and
:25:57. > :26:00.quite a bit of cloud. On Friday, it will be a cloudy day. Outbreaks of
:26:01. > :26:06.rain on and off. Particularly over higher ground. Despite the cloud,
:26:07. > :26:10.and the rain, temperatures are still getting into double figures. They
:26:11. > :26:15.go. Ten or 11 Celsius on Friday. Into the weekend, a bit mixed. On
:26:16. > :26:19.Saturday, sunny spells and showers. Sunday, heavier rain around.
:26:20. > :26:24.Ambridge is again just about in double figures. Not bad at all. You
:26:25. > :26:30.can come again. We like that. Very much. I love that beginning bit of
:26:31. > :26:33.spring, you know when it is just still coming and the daffodils
:26:34. > :26:37.coming up. It gives you hope for a good summer. We are not going to pin
:26:38. > :26:41.you down on that one yet. Definitely not. Bags were watching, Simon and I
:26:42. > :26:44.will be back for the late news at 1030. See them. In -- thanks for
:26:45. > :27:23.watching. Let's Sing And Dance exploded onto
:27:24. > :27:26.our screens, setting the stage
:27:27. > :27:29.alight...literally. Stars were a-swinging...
:27:30. > :27:34.Could somebody help me? Join the party,
:27:35. > :27:40.as new stars perform on...
