:04:14. > :04:21.who was effectively running the operation on the ground?
:04:22. > :04:28.Yes, that's right. We have heard several different versions of what
:04:29. > :04:33.happened that night in 2012 and Anthony Grainger, an unarmed man,
:04:34. > :04:38.was shot dead by police who are part of an operation designed to shock a
:04:39. > :04:42.suspected armed robbery. Today we heard from the police officer we
:04:43. > :04:46.know as X7, the most senior police officer who was there when all of
:04:47. > :04:50.this happen and I think it is there to save some of his evidence today
:04:51. > :04:54.did the evidence we heard last week from the police officer who pulled
:04:55. > :05:00.the trigger. X7 told the enquiry that he shouted at Anthony Grainger,
:05:01. > :05:04.armed police, show me your hands! And that Anthony Grainger did what
:05:05. > :05:09.he has told, put his hands up and surrendered. X7 was asked by the
:05:10. > :05:13.lawyer representing the Grainger family, if Anthony Grainger was
:05:14. > :05:17.complying with your instructions, you could not see any reason why you
:05:18. > :05:22.were there to justify shooting Anthony? And the response to that
:05:23. > :05:26.was, no, sir, he agreed that he could not see any justification. But
:05:27. > :05:30.important to point out that there is some disagreement about the exact
:05:31. > :05:33.chronology of what happened and some questions about whether Anthony
:05:34. > :05:40.Grainger had already been shot by the point officer X7 had his eyes on
:05:41. > :05:45.the situation. The enquiry has already heard that X7 had failed a
:05:46. > :05:52.firearms course not long before this had happened. Yes, that is a
:05:53. > :05:55.training course for specialist firearms officers, run by the
:05:56. > :05:59.Metropolitan Police down in London, and it was a couple of weeks ago
:06:00. > :06:03.when we were told that X7 had failed that course, that concerns had been
:06:04. > :06:07.raised about him becoming overloaded when under pressure, that was the
:06:08. > :06:11.phrase that was used about the impact that it had upon his
:06:12. > :06:15.decision-making. X7 was asked about those concerned today and said he
:06:16. > :06:19.thought the criticisms were unfair, he said, I do not think it is
:06:20. > :06:24.correct, I think I handle pressure well. The public hearings that form

:10:31. > :10:33.payment -- pavements around his are inaccessible, which means he has to
:10:34. > :10:40.use the road. Could you not use the pavement to get to this position?
:10:41. > :10:48.No, because at the end of it is a massive curve that is on a slant, so
:10:49. > :10:53.you can see a peer -- kerb, but if I came off that, it would be too
:10:54. > :10:57.dangerous. The problem, he says, is not enough dropped kerbs for
:10:58. > :11:01.wheelchair access. This is a long-running problem. I feel like we
:11:02. > :11:05.are in the forgotten character dubbed category, we are not high
:11:06. > :11:10.priority. But in actual fact, we are, because we do struggle. And we
:11:11. > :11:16.want to be independent as much as we can. So, the teenager has cultivated
:11:17. > :11:20.friends in high places. He seems like a young man who could change
:11:21. > :11:25.the world. I think the world had better watch out because Cameron is
:11:26. > :11:29.on his way! Local MP Cat Smith has joined the campaign and says it has
:11:30. > :11:32.struck a nerve. I have since been approached by other wheelchair users
:11:33. > :11:35.who have told me about other problems they have and also saying
:11:36. > :11:39.that the problem is Cameron has violated by the problems they face
:11:40. > :11:44.daily so he has really got people talking locally about disability
:11:45. > :11:49.access. The campaign is not confined to pavement issues. Tick the city's
:11:50. > :11:51.bus station, designed to meet disability legislation, but even
:11:52. > :11:57.here he can struggle to complete his journey. It is mainly embarrassing,
:11:58. > :12:02.because you do not want always help, but then, you want to be as
:12:03. > :12:07.independent as much as you can, and that is not the case. Lancaster City
:12:08. > :12:12.Council says the bus station was built to comply with the disability
:12:13. > :12:15.discrimination act. There appear to be some isolated issue with the
:12:16. > :12:20.smaller bosses that use the station. It says it is working with

:12:31. > :12:34.priority. Better watch out, Cameron is coming!
:12:35. > :12:39.It is interesting, if you're lucky enough to not need the dropped kerbs
:12:40. > :12:43.Laika you do not notice. But for someone like Cameron, you
:12:44. > :12:49.do. As a child of the 1980s, you will

:13:09. > :13:11.and Manchester Airport will be able to hail a driverless car
:13:12. > :13:14.by using an app on their phone. Driverless pods like these could
:13:15. > :13:20.one day be taking you from your car to the terminals
:13:21. > :13:23.at Manchester Airport. This was how the Government's
:13:24. > :13:26.?100 million investment in low-carbon, autonomous vehicles
:13:27. > :13:33.was launched in London. And this was how they announced
:13:34. > :13:36.the Manchester project. They are doing something called
:13:37. > :13:39.platooning, so they are driving So, automatically, that is using
:13:40. > :13:43.a lot less road space. As well as the pods
:13:44. > :13:46.at the airport, it's hoped cars like this will take
:13:47. > :13:48.passengers to the airport. These petrol sports cars
:13:49. > :13:50.still required drivers as they tested out the new A6

:14:09. > :14:12.this isn't very safe, but if you go to race tracks
:14:13. > :14:15.all over the world, you see that this is actually
:14:16. > :14:17.happening on a regular basis. Are you talking about turning
:14:18. > :14:20.the A6 into a race track? So, the technology that we are
:14:21. > :14:24.looking at here is to reduce congestion, and to try
:14:25. > :14:29.and improve the air. Driverless cars are already
:14:30. > :14:32.on the roads in the US. But their involvement in several
:14:33. > :14:34.accidents has hit the headlines, leaving some motorists with concerns
:14:35. > :14:38.about their safety. Well, the vehicles themselves
:14:39. > :14:41.have a lot of very sophisticated equipment on them, including
:14:42. > :14:44.sensors, radar, that kind of thing, so they are able to react much
:14:45. > :14:49.quicker than a person would. We appreciate that they are
:14:50. > :14:52.sports cars, and that might not look super accessible,

:16:30. > :16:32.Cunningham is against rivals The first thing he did was to ring
:16:33. > :16:40.up and make sure that the players went out and trained and got
:16:41. > :16:43.prepared as best they can to win the game on Friday night,
:16:44. > :16:45.because there will be no-one cheering louder in St Helens
:16:46. > :16:47.than Kieron Cunningham, he's a St Helens supporter,
:16:48. > :16:50.he is passionate about the club, he wants just to win
:16:51. > :16:52.and be successful. Regardless of his situation,
:16:53. > :16:54.he wants his group to Well, that Saints-Wigan game is one
:16:55. > :17:02.of three derbies this week. and then Salford host Leigh
:17:03. > :17:05.on Good Friday. To discuss all that,
:17:06. > :17:13.we've got Warrington captain and Great Britain international
:17:14. > :17:20.Chris Hill with us this evening. What is your reaction to the Keiron
:17:21. > :17:25.Cunningham News? It was a bit of a shock. I thought
:17:26. > :17:31.they might have given him until after Easter. But it is the nature
:17:32. > :17:35.of the beast, we're not getting results, so he goes first as the
:17:36. > :17:39.coach. I thought they might have given the Easter period to get maybe
:17:40. > :17:44.two wins. Let's move on to talking about Warrington. The shield winners
:17:45. > :17:49.last year, two finals, it has not gone to plan this year, what has
:17:50. > :17:54.gone wrong? It has not gone too well at all. We couldn't put our finger
:17:55. > :17:57.on it. We just were not quitting. The boys have stuck to it, been
:17:58. > :18:03.working hard in the gym and on the field, doing longer days than usual.
:18:04. > :18:09.But I think the second half of that game as may be given us the cake we
:18:10. > :18:14.needed. You can see you turning it around against Leeds. You have
:18:15. > :18:21.Widnes on Thursday, bottom two, these sides, so it is a tough game.
:18:22. > :18:28.Yes, it is. It probably makes it more important, we are sitting on
:18:29. > :18:32.the same points. I do not think we are bringing too much form into the
:18:33. > :18:41.game, so hopefully we will both turn it round on the day. How do you see
:18:42. > :18:45.Wigan against Saints? When you lose a coach it is going to go one way or
:18:46. > :18:52.the other. I could see it being a close game. But I should imagine
:18:53. > :18:56.Wigan will get it. Then softened against Leigh, two sides who have
:18:57. > :19:02.probably exceeded expectations. -- Salford. They had a great result
:19:03. > :19:06.against us and Saints and they have been through a bad patch over the
:19:07. > :19:10.last couple of weeks. They will be more than determined to turn it
:19:11. > :19:15.round against a good Salford side at the minute. I would have to say I
:19:16. > :19:20.would go with Leigh at home as well. I live in the Leigh area as well!
:19:21. > :19:25.You have got to go for them! But Salford have impressed. We went to
:19:26. > :19:31.their place and they beat us convincingly. I played with the
:19:32. > :19:35.coach and he is a very good man manager as well as coach so he will
:19:36. > :19:40.have them drilled every week, and that is what he seems to be doing. I
:19:41. > :19:45.will bring in these to know because they want to talk about the other
:19:46. > :19:48.Laika we are not going to ask you about your sport, but you have
:19:49. > :19:55.another business, a plumbing business, how do you fit it all in?
:19:56. > :19:59.That's my life! No, it is quite tough to clock in with my other job,
:20:00. > :20:04.and my kids, but that is how I want to do something after rugby. So this
:20:05. > :20:08.is your long-term plan? So you are a bit like Tom Finney
:20:09. > :20:14.used to be when he turned up in Preston and went to peace -- six
:20:15. > :20:21.people's sinks? You will not get me on-the-job match! -- on the job
:20:22. > :20:30.much. That's a shame I have got a leaking tap.
:20:31. > :20:35.You must have gone to a Warrington town Bob Monkhouse and they have
:20:36. > :20:39.said, you have turned up... You do get some strange looks when you
:20:40. > :20:43.knock-on the door. But I do enjoy it, it is something different and
:20:44. > :20:47.hopefully when the rugby career is finished and the business is up and
:20:48. > :20:48.running I can just settle into that. Good for you, thanks so much for
:20:49. > :20:50.coming in. Sam Jones from Manchester
:20:51. > :20:51.started making films His idol is director Danny Boyle,
:20:52. > :20:56.from Radcliffe, and those in the know in the film-making world
:20:57. > :20:59.say Sam has the talent At 16, the British Film Institute
:21:00. > :21:05.gave him a grant to make at an Oscar-qualifying
:21:06. > :21:08.film festival. Our reporter Abbie Jones
:21:09. > :21:10.has been to meet him. Manchester's magnificent
:21:11. > :21:12.Victoria Baths. Spectacular in the sunlight,
:21:13. > :21:14.but more eerie and gritty as the setting for Sam Jones's
:21:15. > :21:24.award-winning short film. Sam made Lifeline while
:21:25. > :21:28.doing his A-levels. Shot in five days, it tells
:21:29. > :21:31.the story of the lengths The teenager beat off 1,500
:21:32. > :21:49.other young film-makers I really wanted to film here because
:21:50. > :21:54.it is so cinematic, so haunting but beautiful at the same time.
:21:55. > :21:59.Something I wanted to get onto film. And how do you feel about this buzz
:22:00. > :22:04.around you? It is great to get recognition from festivals because
:22:05. > :22:09.people see the festival and they take a bit more notice. Matt Lucas
:22:10. > :22:10.tweeted me, which was kind of unbelievable.
:22:11. > :22:14.Sam's been storyboarding films from his bedroom in Altrincham
:22:15. > :22:17.His inspiration is Trainspotting director Danny Boyle,
:22:18. > :22:26.Those in the know say Sam could be just as big.
:22:27. > :22:32.I got no doubt at all that Sam will be collecting more awards in future.
:22:33. > :22:36.He is one of the most talented young film-makers we have come across in
:22:37. > :22:40.recent years. His films are beautiful looking, he tells
:22:41. > :22:43.ambitious stories and knows how to work with a team so I am positive he
:22:44. > :22:45.will make it in professional film-making.
:22:46. > :22:47.Sam's latest film, Big Night, set in a Manchester nightclub,
:22:48. > :22:50.was made for a fifth of the budget of Lifeline,
:22:51. > :23:03.We did not have any of the great support from the BFI for this one so
:23:04. > :23:05.I had a screening at home in Manchester, invited family and
:23:06. > :23:09.friends to come along so they donated the money and clubbed
:23:10. > :23:13.together, I always try and find people who are as excited to make
:23:14. > :23:14.the film as I am and I think that does come across in the film in the
:23:15. > :23:14.end. Sam's already started
:23:15. > :23:16.work on a new film. It's a passion -
:23:17. > :23:19.but with his success so far, he hopes it will now
:23:20. > :23:29.become a career. I think we need to keep our eye on
:23:30. > :23:32.him! Sam Jones, you heard it here first,
:23:33. > :23:40.when he picks up one of those Oscars.
:23:41. > :23:42.Yesterday, we brought you the story of the poets from
:23:43. > :23:45.the Young Identity Initiative - a poetry project encouraging people
:23:46. > :23:47.living in inner city areas to express themselves through verse.
:23:48. > :23:49.They're so good, they've now been asked to perform
:23:50. > :23:52.at the the Hay Festival - one of the country's most
:23:53. > :23:55.And we'll be featuring the poets' individual stories every day
:23:56. > :24:11.So you will be able to see lots more of them there on her Facebook page.
:24:12. > :24:16.How about the weather forecast? It has not been too bad today.
:24:17. > :24:22.This week it is all about the temperature profile. On Sunday, all
:24:23. > :24:27.of this yellow, it was so warm, by the time it got to about five p.m.,
:24:28. > :24:31.it will be dropped, and this week you can see the cool air pushing in,
:24:32. > :24:35.and it stays with us all the way through. It looks like it will be
:24:36. > :24:40.fairly cool through the weekend as well. But fine and dry weather to
:24:41. > :24:44.offer us, our weather watchers cut this in Cheshire, plenty of
:24:45. > :24:48.sunshine, but right now, a little sunshine to end the day, but the
:24:49. > :24:52.story tonight is about a weather front coming towards us. We will see
:24:53. > :24:56.a few more of these over the next couple of days. The high pressure
:24:57. > :25:01.kills of the activity within the weather front so while they get to
:25:02. > :25:04.us the ballot there should not be that much rain. But the one that
:25:05. > :25:09.comes through in the early hours could bring her some heavy rain.
:25:10. > :25:13.Let's concentrate on the evening. You have some time to enjoin that
:25:14. > :25:24.fine weather. The cloud will build, but we have 99.6% of a full mind
:25:25. > :25:27.tonight. -- full moon. But the cloud keeps coming through and as we head
:25:28. > :25:30.towards the early hours of the morning, the first signs of rain
:25:31. > :25:35.stopped to come into part of Cumbria and Isle of Man. The strong breeze
:25:36. > :25:39.we had today which has kept things chilly stays with us through the
:25:40. > :25:42.night. Overnight, it is a much better thing because it gives the
:25:43. > :25:46.temperatures up, so with a stiff breeze and cloud cover the numbers
:25:47. > :25:51.will be pretty good. Seven or eight Celsius, nine here and there.
:25:52. > :25:54.Tomorrow, the first spots of rain will stop to push everywhere.
:25:55. > :25:59.Through breakfast and the rush hour, the rain pushes in. It could be
:26:00. > :26:04.heavily from time to time but it does not last too long. By the time
:26:05. > :26:11.we get to lunchtime, it will be gone. The sun comes out, brighter
:26:12. > :26:15.skies developing into the afternoon. Every now and then, the small chance
:26:16. > :26:19.of a shower but the area of high pressure should kill off many of
:26:20. > :26:24.them. Sunny spells and scattered showers, you will be unlucky if you
:26:25. > :26:28.catch more than 12 showers. But once again, the wind coming from the
:26:29. > :26:38.North West, 2220 files mph along along the coast. -- 20 to 25 mph. It
:26:39. > :26:42.is going to feel cooler and fresher in the afternoon. The sunshine will
:26:43. > :26:46.be there but it will not feel brilliant. It will look OK hand over
:26:47. > :26:47.the next couple of days, lots of dry weather, but temperatures fairly
:26:48. > :26:54.low. There is nothing at all off-putting
:26:55. > :26:57.about having people cheering in your ear!
:26:58. > :27:02.I'm surprised you have walked over in this direction rather than going
:27:03. > :27:07.the other way because Chris Hill is still in the room, and Dianne is
:27:08. > :27:09.desperate to meet him! Stage where you are, Chris!
:27:10. > :27:38.Goodbye. -- stay. There have never been
:27:39. > :27:41.so many people in work -
