:02:40. > :02:55.that is when he heard the gunshot go off. It was the emergency vehicles
:02:56. > :03:02.heading to the chamber. We were told to get out and we did. The immediate
:03:03. > :03:09.thing is you think about the other people, my children and my wife. You
:03:10. > :03:16.think how important it is that we all stay safe. It seems at this
:03:17. > :03:23.stage that all our MPs are safe. As far as I know. I haven't heard
:03:24. > :03:28.anything different. What has been striking about their accounts and
:03:29. > :03:32.how things have unfolded was how calm and collected everybody was and
:03:33. > :03:37.how well they said the security services dealt with the events.
:03:38. > :03:45.Sadly because they have been expecting like this for some time.

:04:54. > :05:03.One student from Edge Hill was taken to hospital. He was once a
:05:04. > :05:10.candidate. -- what are they saying tonight? Travis was a group of 13
:05:11. > :05:13.students and a lecture on their first day of a two-day visit to the
:05:14. > :05:18.Houses of Parliament when they got caught up in what has been described
:05:19. > :05:24.by police as a terrorist incident. With me I have the Vice Chancellor
:05:25. > :05:30.of Edge Hill University. What can you tell us about what happened to
:05:31. > :05:34.your students? We had a group of public relations students down for
:05:35. > :05:38.Prime Minister Question Time and meeting with MPs. They have finished

:05:51. > :05:54.incident you have described. We understand there are two students
:05:55. > :06:03.who have been taken into hospital but one is with a whist injury and
:06:04. > :06:10.the other, a head injury. The other students are back in a hostel
:06:11. > :06:14.receiving support and will return to the north-west tomorrow. This took
:06:15. > :06:19.place on Westminster Bridge. What do you know about what happened to the
:06:20. > :06:24.students injured? The details are hazy. Our assumption is they were
:06:25. > :06:29.either knocked down by other people awestruck by the vehicle. All of
:06:30. > :06:36.them would have been traumatised by what they have seen. Travis Frain
:06:37. > :06:44.suffered a minor student but two other students were injured more
:06:45. > :06:49.severely. One student has a head injury and the other has a broken
:06:50. > :06:54.wrist. They are being treated in accident and emergency but not
:06:55. > :06:58.serious cases. You are trying to support the family. There is a
:06:59. > :07:08.helpline as well. We restricting that a family. We have contacted all
:07:09. > :07:13.14 of the students including the member of staff and we are providing
:07:14. > :07:19.them with any support and there will be counselling available when they
:07:20. > :07:32.return. BAT member of staff is still in there. The Chuter stayed with the
:07:33. > :07:39.MPI little longer. -- -- the Chuter stayed with the MP a little longer.
:07:40. > :07:47.Thank you very much for your time today and we will keep you updated
:07:48. > :07:49.with developments as we get there. Goods news that the students are
:07:50. > :07:52.safe and well. Liverpool's Mayor has appealed
:07:53. > :07:55.for rail workers to abandon plans Joe Anderson says many people
:07:56. > :07:59.support their campaign to keep But the Mayor is urging the RMT
:08:00. > :08:03.union not to disrupt Hoteliers say it'll harm the city's
:08:04. > :08:06.image with visitors. Here's our Chief
:08:07. > :08:11.Reporter, Dave Guest. It's the day when Liverpool
:08:12. > :08:13.is on show to the world. Tens of thousands head to Aintree
:08:14. > :08:31.for the Grand National. They think one in three people will
:08:32. > :08:35.travel by Merseyrail train and 30,000 will pass through the station
:08:36. > :08:37.because the world-famous racecourses right across the road.
:08:38. > :08:40.But this year they may not be able to travel here by train.
:08:41. > :08:43.The RMT union is in dispute with Merseyrail over plans
:08:44. > :08:46.It's called its latest strike for Grand National Day.
:08:47. > :08:48.The Mayor of Liverpool says he understands their concerns
:08:49. > :08:55.but is urging them to call off the strike.
:08:56. > :09:02.I think they don't need to do this type of thing to emphasise their
:09:03. > :09:04.point. We all get the message that they believe gods should be on
:09:05. > :09:06.trains. The boss of Merseyrail
:09:07. > :09:15.says he's disappointed I have spoke to many staff that
:09:16. > :09:22.think the union has gone too far to affect the jewel in the Crown of the
:09:23. > :09:31.month's event. We have negotiations on Monday. Were you present at those
:09:32. > :09:37.talks? I was standing outside the talks. Should you not have been
:09:38. > :09:40.there as a boss of the company? I am better as the next escalation level.
:09:41. > :09:41.This dispute isn't about pay or jobs.
:09:42. > :09:45.Merseyrail believes new trains could be operated by the driver alone.
:09:46. > :09:47.The Union says it takes two people to ensure
:09:48. > :10:01.We have had a number of safety incidents where the guard has had to
:10:02. > :10:05.evacuate trains. This is the day when Liverpool is on show and you
:10:06. > :10:10.will betray an image that this is the bad days of Liverpool. What will
:10:11. > :10:18.it be like in three years' time? If some people get the day and the
:10:19. > :10:20.Merseyrail trains will have a one-man train, it would be a
:10:21. > :10:23.paradise. Hoteliers are more concerned
:10:24. > :10:25.about the immediate effects of a strike on one
:10:26. > :10:33.of their busiest We encourage people to use the
:10:34. > :10:35.trains and it is a fundamental problem.
:10:36. > :10:36.Race goers can only hope the two sides
:10:37. > :10:40.resolve their differences before the big day on April 8th.
:10:41. > :10:42.Greater Manchester Police has apologised for long delays
:10:43. > :10:45.in providing evidence to an inquiry into the shooting dead
:10:46. > :10:50.The Anthony Grainger Inquiry is looking at the actions
:10:51. > :10:53.of the police in 2012 - when the father of two
:10:54. > :10:55.was shot while sitting in a car in Warrington.
:10:56. > :10:57.The force has now drafted in twelve officers working
:10:58. > :10:59.twelve hours a day to sift through potentially
:11:00. > :11:07.Works to re-open a bridge in South Cumbria which provides
:11:08. > :11:09.the main route through a village are taking longer than expected.
:11:10. > :11:11.The Old Gowan bridge in Staveley near Kendal
:11:12. > :11:14.is being rebuilt after being damaged by Storm Desmond in 2015.
:11:15. > :11:16.It was hoped the bridge would re-open by Easter
:11:17. > :11:33.Tributes have been flooding in for one of Liverpool Football Club's
:11:34. > :11:37.Former player and coach Ronnie Moran has died, at the age of 83.
:11:38. > :11:40.He was at the heart of his hometown club for almost half
:11:41. > :11:42.a century, part of the famous Boot Room.
:11:43. > :11:44.Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said today...
:11:45. > :11:47.The reason our club has a fantastic history is because of
:11:48. > :11:57.Richard Askam reports on the passing of an Anfield icon.
:11:58. > :12:03.He joined the club as a teenager in the late 1940's and five decades
:12:04. > :12:12.later left as the club's longest serving member of staff.
:12:13. > :12:20.When I look back, it has flown by. I remember coming to the club as a
:12:21. > :12:21.15-year-old and started training. I was fortunate that I was with a
:12:22. > :12:24.great club. Ronnie made 379
:12:25. > :12:26.appearances as a player. He went on to become captain,
:12:27. > :12:28.winning seven major trophies. Including the league
:12:29. > :12:34.title in 1964 and 66. Before becoming part of the famous
:12:35. > :12:36.boot room of coaches alongside the likes of Bob Paisley,
:12:37. > :12:51.Joe Fagan and Roy Evans. Sorry to lose what I would call a
:12:52. > :12:53.great man. His career at Liverpool was phenomenal.
:12:54. > :12:56.Ronnie Moran was a no-nonsense football man who was trusted
:12:57. > :12:59.Standing in as caretaker boss on a couple of occasions.
:13:00. > :13:02.And even having the honour of leading the team out at Wembley
:13:03. > :13:20.was a player, captain, coach, assistant manager, caretaker
:13:21. > :13:26.manager. What does that say about him? Every player knows his voice.
:13:27. > :13:32.It is like the schoolteacher, Sergeant Major that he was. He did
:13:33. > :13:33.great things for our football club and we should pay our greatest
:13:34. > :13:36.respects to him. to win 11 league titles
:13:37. > :13:44.and four European Cups. Long after his retirement
:13:45. > :13:47.Ronnie remained a strong presence and influence
:13:48. > :13:59.at the training ground. His Liverpool career spanned five
:14:00. > :14:09.decades and that made him very respected by the supporters. Seeing
:14:10. > :14:10.the tributes come in shows a lot. Sun-macro the greatest we have ever
:14:11. > :14:15.had. One of the club's most respected
:14:16. > :14:18.figures thanks to a lifetime Inside the free school aiming
:14:19. > :14:32.for the Premier League. How Everton Football Club is trying
:14:33. > :14:42.to give pupils the best start. How Sergeant Pepper will be
:14:43. > :14:48.revisited 50 years on. Millions of voters will soon get
:14:49. > :14:51.poll cards for forthcoming mayoral elections in Merseyside and Greater
:14:52. > :14:55.Manchester. Today, in the second of our reports,
:14:56. > :14:59.we're looking at some of the issues Our reporter Mark Edwardson asked
:15:00. > :15:26.a Manchester mechanic to examine We are doing a prim mayoral election
:15:27. > :15:37.and Moti looking at the three issues identified as the most important by
:15:38. > :15:42.the think tank, Centre Facilities. At least we will get to see where
:15:43. > :15:44.some of our business and council tax increases are being spent. One of
:15:45. > :15:47.those areas is social care. As financial pressures increase,
:15:48. > :15:49.the Centre for Cities says the new mayor should develop
:15:50. > :16:09.a sustainable social care What people are wanting isn't
:16:10. > :16:14.necessarily fortune spent upon them but it is about good quality
:16:15. > :16:18.outcomes. I guess the challenge for the mayor will be within the
:16:19. > :16:22.financial envelope you've got. How can you make sure that money reaches
:16:23. > :16:29.the people and provides the best possible outcome for those
:16:30. > :16:31.individuals? It is quick win and it will create certainty of a
:16:32. > :16:33.development across greater Manchester.
:16:34. > :16:35.The ten boroughs of Greater Manchester already have plan
:16:36. > :16:38.for industrial development and housing, some of it very
:16:39. > :16:41.The think-tank says the new mayor should simply get
:16:42. > :16:55.The big challenge is to work around the constellation of towns around
:16:56. > :17:00.Greater Manchester and to find a completely renewed purpose for those
:17:01. > :17:03.places. One of the big issues that sparked debate is the congestion
:17:04. > :17:06.charge. The new mayor will be encouraged to fly the flag for it.
:17:07. > :17:08.Controversial and rejected in a 2008 referendum.
:17:09. > :17:10.Some say it's the key to public transport's future development
:17:11. > :17:26.I think it is the number one issue for the Greater Manchester mayor. To
:17:27. > :17:32.find a way of solving the transport crisis because I think there is a
:17:33. > :17:38.transport crisis the Manchester. It is affecting business, trade, it is
:17:39. > :17:46.affecting everybody's live -- life. Boaters get their say on May four.
:17:47. > :17:47.-- voters get their say on May the 4th.
:17:48. > :17:49.And the Greater Manchester Mayoral Candidate for the English Democrats
:17:50. > :17:54.Stephen Morris says he'd make public transport a priority,
:17:55. > :17:58.and is advocating universal early cancer screening.
:17:59. > :18:00.He's also calling for legally-binding green
:18:01. > :18:14.Companies will have to build underneath the units. We need to
:18:15. > :18:18.make use of our brown field sites, no building on green field. They
:18:19. > :18:22.will have to have solar panels on the roofs of those units, industrial
:18:23. > :18:24.estates will have to have a localised wind turbine.
:18:25. > :18:26.Everton Free School, the first in the country linked
:18:27. > :18:29.to a Premier League Football Club, says it's achieving encouraging
:18:30. > :18:31.results with some of Merseyside's most challenging pupils.
:18:32. > :18:33.Many have been excluded from mainstream education.
:18:34. > :18:39.Some have family members involved in drugs
:18:40. > :18:42.Others, like 15-year-old Liam whom you're about to meet,
:18:43. > :18:45.The Victoria Derbyshire Show was given exclusive access
:18:46. > :18:48.to the school, set up in 2012 at a cost of ?4.2 million.
:18:49. > :19:07.Angry, kicked out and written off. Some of them missed years of
:19:08. > :19:10.education. All of them in danger of vanishing from education system
:19:11. > :19:14.altogether. These peoples and Liverpool have found a way back in.
:19:15. > :19:24.And it's all thanks to their local football club. Lee has attention
:19:25. > :19:31.deficit disorder and autism. It was hard to get the work done because
:19:32. > :19:37.I'd always need them one-on-one. It would be hard to complete a task.
:19:38. > :19:42.Liam wasn't happy going to school. It was very anxious for me as a
:19:43. > :19:47.parent knowing I was having to go to work all day and do and -- and he
:19:48. > :19:54.was somewhere where he hated being. He was getting bullied. I was always
:19:55. > :19:59.worried if he was going to get hit or if they will be waiting for him
:20:00. > :20:05.after school. That is when Everton Free School came up. It was like,
:20:06. > :20:10.this is an option. Children are often sent by mainstream schools
:20:11. > :20:15.that can't cope with them. It is an alternative to a pupil referral
:20:16. > :20:20.unit. It is run independent from the national curriculum. Chloe is 15 and
:20:21. > :20:28.has behavioural problems. I was naughty and used to do nothing at
:20:29. > :20:35.school. I used to argue and fight. People used to go around carrying
:20:36. > :20:38.knives. Here, it is not so bad. There was too many people in the
:20:39. > :20:48.classes and I couldn't get my head down and learn properly. It is good
:20:49. > :20:55.that we can go up and sit in the box and have a chill and do work in
:20:56. > :21:01.there. No other school does that. Every term, there is a classroom
:21:02. > :21:05.visit from an Everton Blair. Today, it is the captain helping in a
:21:06. > :21:09.science lesson. Bees are going to be young men and women in a couple of
:21:10. > :21:18.years and we can give them a decent four hole to get there. -- foot
:21:19. > :21:24.hole. Hats off to the club. On a Monday afternoon, we come up here
:21:25. > :21:30.and coach these. It is great the School trust me and they have the
:21:31. > :21:35.trust in me. If they can trust you, you can trust them. You are wearing
:21:36. > :21:41.Everton Badlands getting to play football. I am living the dream.

:22:04. > :22:09.years. Many different events are being held

:22:53. > :22:56.And one of the Beatles' most influential.
:22:57. > :23:03.It will offer the album to a different generation of young people
:23:04. > :23:07.and let them see what a talented generational people they were. Not
:23:08. > :23:10.only writing the songs but the album itself as a piece of art.
:23:11. > :23:13.Across two weeks in May and June there'll be 13 world premieres

:23:27. > :23:34.I'm 25 but when I was 18 and I left home, when I listened to the song,
:23:35. > :23:37.it really hit me because my mum must have been so upset. As a kid, you
:23:38. > :23:41.are like, "Get me out of here." A Turner Prize winning artist has
:23:42. > :23:44.arranged two as yet secret works about With a Little Help
:23:45. > :23:55.from my friends. I am doing two things. One thing I
:23:56. > :23:56.can tell you about that the other is based around the life and character
:23:57. > :24:01.of Brian Eckstein. And an Indian art group
:24:02. > :24:13.will reflect George Harrison's Our involvement in the project will
:24:14. > :24:21.have the idea of bringing Indian classical music to a new audience.
:24:22. > :24:23.BBC Radio Merseyside is having 64 choirs doing a live radio singalong
:24:24. > :24:28.of When I Am 64. The organisers hope all will be
:24:29. > :24:47.an unforgettable day Great. After what I just heard while
:24:48. > :24:53.you were watching that report. Singing. Maybe you should be signing
:24:54. > :24:58.up. 8th of June they are doing that big singalong. Maybe they could sign
:24:59. > :25:05.you up. If they have any sense, they won't. How is your voice today?
:25:06. > :25:12.Like a cat on a bin. We promised you a wet day and it is how it turned
:25:13. > :25:17.out. For most of us, the rain kept on coming. The best place was across
:25:18. > :25:22.Merseyside and Cheshire were initially it was fairly wet. Radar
:25:23. > :25:33.isn't always indicative of what has happened. This is our latest
:25:34. > :25:41.picture. The area of low pressure drops south. Tomorrow will be an
:25:42. > :25:45.entirely different kind of day. As we have through the weekend,
:25:46. > :25:50.high-pressure sticks with us and as we go through the next week, we are
:25:51. > :25:53.in a very settled spell. As we head towards the weekend, the picture
:25:54. > :25:58.looks remarkably different. This is what is going to happen. It
:25:59. > :26:04.continues to curl around but it is leaving southern parts and pulls
:26:05. > :26:08.away. We will see some drier spells coming in towards dawn. You can see
:26:09. > :26:13.that line of showers coming towards us from the other side of the
:26:14. > :26:19.Pennines. The Pennines will kill most of them off. You will be really
:26:20. > :26:25.unlucky if you catch one. Overnight period, temperatures not as low as
:26:26. > :26:30.they have been. It has got quite cold. Tonight, three to five Celsius
:26:31. > :26:35.is where most of us will be. Watch that line of showers. Killed off
:26:36. > :26:39.relatively quickly. By the time you get to eight o'clock, it should be
:26:40. > :26:43.gone and the sun is up around six o'clock and the sun will work its
:26:44. > :26:47.magic tomorrow. Through most of daylight hours, it will be dry. You
:26:48. > :26:53.will have 11 to 12 hours of sunshine. Through the afternoon,
:26:54. > :26:58.even though the wind direction is coming from East, it is not
:26:59. > :27:04.brilliant. You will get the benefit of those hours of sunshine. Through
:27:05. > :27:11.the day, your temperatures will rise to 11 Celsius. A different data
:27:12. > :27:13.today. After that, we have high-pressure and it is dry and fine
:27:14. > :27:24.with good spells of sunshine. That is a much prettier picture.
:27:25. > :27:28.Look at that lovely yellow hanging over the British Isles. You will see
:27:29. > :27:33.the sunshine. We will be back a little bit later than usual to my
:27:34. > :27:35.because of events in London. Just before 11 o'clock. Have a lovely
