:06:42. > :06:45.to understand what family goes through in a situation like that
:06:46. > :06:47.and I think they wanted those responsible for the murder
:06:48. > :06:53.One little detail, and I'm not betraying confidence because it's
:06:54. > :07:02.in the finished piece, but I was with Melanie and Stephen
:07:03. > :07:05.and Steve went out to make a cup of coffe and she just lent
:07:06. > :07:08.across and said you do know we split for a while?
:07:09. > :07:11.I was astonished because they are such a tight,
:07:12. > :07:15.close couple but the pressure of the grief and coping
:07:16. > :07:17.with everything that happened even drove them apart briefly
:07:18. > :07:37.I'll do my utmost to get whoever did this and anyone
:07:38. > :07:43.I have watched the first episode and I had to be honest,
:07:44. > :07:46.I found it quite harrowing, I found it a very difficult
:07:47. > :07:48.watch and at times I was in tears watching it.
:07:49. > :07:52.I just wonder, have they been able to watch, have Melanie and Steve
:07:53. > :08:00.Yes, they have now watched all four episodes, they wanted
:08:01. > :08:02.to watch at their own pace, in their own privacy
:08:03. > :08:05.but they watched them all back to back and there were a lot
:08:06. > :08:09.of tears but it was, my strong impression
:08:10. > :08:14.Melanie said that she was glad she had done it, she was glad this
:08:15. > :08:19.Thank you very much for telling us about it and Little Boy Blue
:08:20. > :08:35.A very powerful watch. That was the right of speaking to me a short time
:08:36. > :08:38.ago. Bowel cancer is treatable
:08:39. > :08:40.and curable especially if it diagnosed early,
:08:41. > :08:42.but nearly half of people in the North West are putting
:08:43. > :08:45.their lives at risk by ignoring a simple test that's the warning
:08:46. > :08:52.from Bowel Cancer UK which wants more people that are sent
:08:53. > :08:54.a screening test to use it. Today, Ben Ashworth,
:08:55. > :08:56.who's we've featured a number of times on our programme
:08:57. > :08:59.because of the his fight against bowel cancer,
:09:00. > :09:01.took to the airwaves to urge The latest step in what Ben Ashworth
:09:02. > :09:13.calls his cancer journey - five years ago he was told he had
:09:14. > :09:16.bowel cancer and shortly afterwards Today he was trying to raise
:09:17. > :09:32.awareness of his illness. I have lost so many friends to
:09:33. > :09:38.cancer, it is horrible and I think the more that can be done to raise
:09:39. > :09:39.awareness of Saint 's... -- of symptoms.
:09:40. > :09:42.and since diagnosis he's completed 24 marathons.
:09:43. > :09:45.He was training for one when he first experienced symptoms
:09:46. > :09:49.such as loose stools and unexpected weight loss.
:09:50. > :09:59.If we can try and help other people understand how cancer symptoms, the
:10:00. > :10:01.earlier people are diagnosed, in 90% of cases, people can be cured.
:10:02. > :10:03.Bowel cancer is the nations second biggest cancer killer,
:10:04. > :10:06.If you're registered with a GP and aged 60-74, you will
:10:07. > :10:08.receive a test in the post for free every two years,
:10:09. > :10:11.but here in the Nortn West On average only 53% of people
:10:12. > :10:24.People might be embarrassed to do the test, people might feel well so
:10:25. > :10:26.there is no need to do the test and people might be afraid and not want
:10:27. > :10:27.to know. He's currently undergoing further
:10:28. > :10:40.treatment to prolong his life. He has defied all statistics because
:10:41. > :10:44.normally statistics for stage four disease is about four and half years
:10:45. > :10:48.has doubled his statistics and one of the main reasons it is
:10:49. > :10:52.positivity. We want to make sure other people enjoy their lives and
:10:53. > :10:54.don't have to be facing five-year battle with stage four cancer.

:14:01. > :14:03.a Metro Mayor for the first time. But what do you know
:14:04. > :14:05.about the candidates Tonight and tomorrow we'll be
:14:06. > :14:10.hearing from the candidates In just over a week,
:14:11. > :14:21.voters from across the Liverpool city region will be heading
:14:22. > :14:26.to the ballot box to choose From Crosby to Croxteth,
:14:27. > :14:29.from Huyton to Haydock, from Litherland to Liverpool,
:14:30. > :14:32.representing 1.5 million people across the city will be one of
:14:33. > :14:38.the new Mayor's biggest challenges. I'm off to find out
:14:39. > :14:41.if the candidate are up to the job. We've had a lot of projects in Kirby
:14:42. > :14:55.over the past few years and none We need loads of things
:14:56. > :15:02.to improve in Kirby, Everything is shutting
:15:03. > :15:06.and there's nothing here. They say they are going to improve
:15:07. > :15:09.everything and they are just taking I want to build a city region that
:15:10. > :15:17.works for everybody, Being from outside of the city
:15:18. > :15:23.originally I understand how important it is for all residents
:15:24. > :15:26.of all of the authorities around the city region to make sure
:15:27. > :15:29.they get their fair share Issues like directing
:15:30. > :15:32.industrial development, all of those kind of things
:15:33. > :15:36.will help make people in the regions like Saint Helens,
:15:37. > :15:39.the Wirral and the other outlying boroughs feel as though
:15:40. > :15:42.they are part of this project, How do you represent fairly areas
:15:43. > :15:48.of social deprivation, which sit very near areas
:15:49. > :15:50.of huge wealth? The Mayor has got to be
:15:51. > :15:53.a Mayor for all the people, from all of the candidates,
:15:54. > :15:56.we represent the whole of the city region but the city region
:15:57. > :15:59.is so diverse it makes it almost an impossible task but nonetheless
:16:00. > :16:01.it is a task they have I think we can get investment,
:16:02. > :16:05.I think we can get economic growth. I think we can do stuff on skills
:16:06. > :16:09.and housing and transport and all sorts of things but the main
:16:10. > :16:12.thing is trying to get us all working together,
:16:13. > :16:16.pulling in the same direction. Every year we lose ?23 billion
:16:17. > :16:20.because of the gender pay gap and that is just not people's
:16:21. > :16:23.salaries but all of the unaffordable childcare, all of the challenges

:16:57. > :17:03.go to bbc.co.uk forward and Liverpool Mayoral
:17:04. > :17:18.election, go to... Richard's here now with a look
:17:19. > :17:22.at the sport and not the weekend, or even the season, we anticipated
:17:23. > :17:24.for Manchester City No, there won't be a trophy
:17:25. > :17:30.in Pep Guardiola's first season in charge after the blues
:17:31. > :17:33.lost their FA Cup semifinal City lost 2-1 in extra
:17:34. > :17:42.time to Arsenal. There was so much optimism wasn't
:17:43. > :17:45.there when the Blues went on that long unbeaten run at the start
:17:46. > :17:47.of the season. But it's been a frustrating campaign
:17:48. > :17:50.overall, with a top four finish in the Premier League
:17:51. > :17:52.by no means guaranteed. So what does Guardiola
:17:53. > :17:54.need to do now? I've been sounding out some
:17:55. > :17:59.of the Blues faithful and one Disappointment after a match, which
:18:00. > :18:05.at one point looked like Manchester city's for the taking. COMMENTATOR:
:18:06. > :18:14.And he lifts the ball over the goalkeeper to score! Arsenal found a
:18:15. > :18:17.winner in extra time. Manchester city did not have the rub of the
:18:18. > :18:20.green. They disallowed goal should have stood and they hit the woodwork
:18:21. > :18:27.more than once but the manager had no excuses. I don't have regrets. It
:18:28. > :18:31.leaves him without a trophy in his first season and the fans with
:18:32. > :18:41.plenty on their minds. We should have won. He hasn't done and -- as
:18:42. > :18:49.good as he should have done. I don't like the goalkeeper. It just doesn't
:18:50. > :18:51.work. It is the defence. Howell Pep Guardiola approach the task ahead?
:18:52. > :18:58.Former Manchester city starred Dennis chew it has studied his
:18:59. > :19:04.method closely? I think he will be better this season than -- better
:19:05. > :19:11.next season than this season. I think things have surprised. He
:19:12. > :19:15.needs to look at his backline. How important is this, in terms of Pep
:19:16. > :19:21.Guardiola building the team he wants? If you look at what he has
:19:22. > :19:25.done at Barcelona and why in Munich comedy has developed them, bought a
:19:26. > :19:28.lot of young players into our squad and we need to see who could take us
:19:29. > :19:34.to the next level. I want the Sergio Aguero next year. Do you think he
:19:35. > :19:40.will be? I do. It would be nice if we had an option of a plan B, maybe
:19:41. > :19:45.a bigger striker. If he does finish in the top four without a trophy is
:19:46. > :19:50.that an acceptable season would you say? I think it we finish fourth and
:19:51. > :19:54.missing out on the domestic trophies, I think as a learning
:19:55. > :19:59.process he will be happy with that. The focus for that Guardiola is to
:20:00. > :20:01.pick his team up ahead of a huge Manchester derby against Manchester
:20:02. > :20:03.United on Thursday. Two of City's north west rivals
:20:04. > :20:06.were also in action yesterday and experienced differing fortunes
:20:07. > :20:09.in their push for a top four finish Phillipe Countinho's stunning free
:20:10. > :20:13.kick gave Liverpool the lead at home to Crystal Palace
:20:14. > :20:16.but it was all downhill from there. Former Reds striker
:20:17. > :20:18.Christian Benteke scored twice as the Londoners came back
:20:19. > :20:20.to win 2-1. Manchester United are now just three
:20:21. > :20:24.points behind Jurgen Klopp's men after goals from Anthony Martial
:20:25. > :20:26.and Wayne Rooney were enough to see off Burnley, 2-0
:20:27. > :20:29.the final score at Turf Moor. It's now just one win
:20:30. > :20:34.in twelve for The Clarets. In the Championship,
:20:35. > :20:38.Wigan and Blackburn remain deep in relegation trouble after both
:20:39. > :20:40.were held to draws at the weekend. One more point should be enough
:20:41. > :20:43.to see Bolton promoted from League One after they won 2-0
:20:44. > :20:46.at Port Vale. If Wanderers slip up,
:20:47. > :20:59.Fleetwood can still pip them after an injury time winner secured
:21:00. > :21:02.a 3-2 success at Gillingham. James Vaughan made it 24
:21:03. > :21:05.for the season as Bury closed While In League Two,
:21:06. > :21:08.Blackpool consolidated their place in the play off positions with a win
:21:09. > :21:16.at home to Cheltenham. Lancashire's cricketers have staged

:22:03. > :22:07.that we mentioned Kirkby Lonsdale's attempts to win every match
:22:08. > :22:10.of their North West One They beat Blackburn on Saturday
:22:11. > :22:22.to make it 26 wins from 26 games, picking up 25 try-scoring bonus
:22:23. > :22:24.points along the way, meaning they finish just one point
:22:25. > :22:27.shy of the absolute maximum. It's believed to be the best record
:22:28. > :22:31.in the country this season. Thank you very much. And utterly
:22:32. > :22:39.ridiculous story now! This is Hamish the ram,
:22:40. > :22:41.a sheep on Ian and Emma's farm Except he doesn't seem
:22:42. > :22:48.to think he's a sheep. Yes, Hamish is having something
:22:49. > :22:52.of an identity crisis and has forsaken his flock
:22:53. > :22:57.in favour of a herd. Hamish the Hampshire
:22:58. > :23:01.Down is a rare breed. After arriving at Lower
:23:02. > :23:10.Gazegill Farm two years ago, he decided to bid farewell
:23:11. > :23:18.to his flock. I think he truly thinks he belongs
:23:19. > :23:28.with them. He wanders around with them. If a cow gives him a nudge, he
:23:29. > :23:29.gives one back. I think he prefers the company.
:23:30. > :23:32.with his bovine brethren, he joins them for milking.
:23:33. > :23:43.He is him morning and night without fail. It drives me a bit mad because
:23:44. > :23:56.he is taking up the space of a cow but he is part of the team! Does he
:23:57. > :24:02.drive you baa-my?! Yes! But something a bit different is nice.
:24:03. > :24:08.This is not unusual for this farm, however. They have also had eight
:24:09. > :24:13.cake who thought he was a dog. -- they also had a pig who thought he
:24:14. > :24:14.was a dog. Just why he's chosen to cosy up
:24:15. > :24:29.to the cows remains one of life's That Cal gave him a right good butt!
:24:30. > :24:32.All of life is here! Let's have a look at the weather.
:24:33. > :24:41.We had a sunny weekend but quite chilly. The air was quite cool. The
:24:42. > :24:45.air has got cooler as we have gone through the day-to-day. The pictures
:24:46. > :24:51.show cloud cover this morning. That was a cold front that dropped south.
:24:52. > :24:56.Behind it there was much colder and we stay in that cold air as we go
:24:57. > :24:59.through to Wednesday. I would not say we are warmer but we are less
:25:00. > :25:03.cold through Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. At the weekend it will go
:25:04. > :25:08.one way or the other so don't ask me yet! The detail is a lucid. The
:25:09. > :25:14.story tonight is cold temperatures. Two Celsius for the most part, so
:25:15. > :25:19.quite a few degrees colder in rural areas. At the minute it looks funny.
:25:20. > :25:22.A lot of clear whether around but there will be one or two macro
:25:23. > :25:26.showers working their way through. They could be a little bit wintry in
:25:27. > :25:31.nature. It will not amount to anything at all. The story for most
:25:32. > :25:33.of us is that cold air is sending everywhere and those temperatures
:25:34. > :25:38.when you get up first thing tomorrow morning will be quite chilly. We go
:25:39. > :25:42.into Tuesday and from the word go the sun will be there but if you
:25:43. > :25:46.look at the blue on the map if you watch the timeline it will take some
:25:47. > :25:50.time for the day to warm up but that sunshine is valuable, it will do its
:25:51. > :25:54.thing. However as you go through the day here come the shower. They are
:25:55. > :25:57.coming to us from the other side of the Pennines, the Pennines will take
:25:58. > :26:02.most of them out but across the region there could be sleet, snow or
:26:03. > :26:05.hail. In other places a few spots of rain from time to time but at two
:26:06. > :26:09.that a wind chill with that northerly wind biting and
:26:10. > :26:13.temperatures might look not too bad at nine or 10 Celsius but it will
:26:14. > :26:18.feel a lot colder than that, especially when the showers coming.
:26:19. > :26:21.It could fall by five Celsius. When we get towards summit wed be warmer
:26:22. > :26:29.or hotter, it will just be less cold! No, it will be warm! For the
:26:30. > :26:31.weekend we are not sure what is going to happen! Thank you, we will
:26:32. > :26:55.be back later. There are times in the life
:26:56. > :26:58.of a nation when the choices we make define
:26:59. > :27:02.the character of our country, times when people stand up
:27:03. > :27:12.and demand real, significant change. we have the chance to shape
:27:13. > :27:17.a brighter future for Britain
