:00:00. > :00:10.Ian Brady's lawyer says the serial killer's ashes will definitely NOT
:00:11. > :00:16.Brady's body will be released tomorrow afternoon.
:00:17. > :00:24.Fury as a woman who conned a special needs charity out of ?25,000 is told

:00:38. > :00:43.actor Christopher Eccleston calls for more awareness of the illness.
:00:44. > :01:06.And we saw this wonderful personality stripped away.
:01:07. > :01:09.The lawyer who represented Ian Brady today said that
:01:10. > :01:10.suggestions his ashes might be scattered on Saddleworth
:01:11. > :01:23.The confirmation came today as the inquest into his death resumed. His
:01:24. > :01:24.lawyer complained about speculation that was started by the coroner
:01:25. > :01:32.yesterday. Yunus, has Brady's
:01:33. > :01:44.body been released? Can you can clear up the confusion
:01:45. > :01:50.about the stories over what will happen to Brady's remains? What we
:01:51. > :01:54.have is a coroner by his own admission, he did not have the legal
:01:55. > :01:58.authority, but he felt he had a moral duty to ask for assurances
:01:59. > :02:02.over the ashes of Ian Brady and particularly they would not be
:02:03. > :02:05.scattered on the moor. But by doing that is what he did was lead to
:02:06. > :02:12.speculation that somehow this was his last wish. Brady's solicitor and
:02:13. > :02:16.the executor of his well has written to the coroner to say that he was
:02:17. > :02:21.deeply unhappy about those comments come. He says there is no likelihood
:02:22. > :02:26.that those ashes will be spread across the moor and he wanted to
:02:27. > :02:30.make that clear. He also said today that as far as he was concerned the
:02:31. > :02:36.contents of the will will remain private because it is private
:02:37. > :02:44.document. And we've heard that Brady's buddy is still under police
:02:45. > :02:48.guard. -- body. Let me take you back to what happened to my red Hendley.
:02:49. > :02:56.When she died the pill the service at real problem is finding someone
:02:57. > :03:00.to take her body. So the coroner wanted assurances that somebody
:03:01. > :03:06.would take Brady's body. We hurt from the police today who said that
:03:07. > :03:12.as far as they were aware that those assurances had not been made and the
:03:13. > :03:14.coroner has now agreed that the release of the body will be delayed.
:03:15. > :03:16.Yunus, we know Brady died of natural causes,
:03:17. > :03:18.so does there need to be a full inquest?
:03:19. > :03:27.The lawyer wanted the interest to conclude today but the coroner said
:03:28. > :03:32.that because Brady had spent 50 years in custody he wanted a full,
:03:33. > :03:38.Frank and fearless enquiry into his death. He also said that people may
:03:39. > :03:43.wonder about his human rights because when he was alive he did not
:03:44. > :03:47.care about the human rights of other people, so the inquest would in fact
:03:48. > :03:49.happen, there will be a full inquest, at the end of June. Thank
:03:50. > :03:50.you very much. A public inquiry has heard claims
:03:51. > :03:52.the Greater Manchester Police force is 'rotten to the core' and tried
:03:53. > :03:55.to cover up its failings after an unarmed man was shot dead
:03:56. > :03:59.by a firearms officer. The fierce criticism came
:04:00. > :04:01.from the barrister representing Anthony Grainger was at
:04:02. > :04:05.the wheel of a stolen car - parked up in the village
:04:06. > :04:08.of Culcheth near Warrington - At the inquiry for us is our social
:04:09. > :04:12.affairs correspondent, Clare Fallon, and we're now in the final stages
:04:13. > :04:21.of these public hearings. Some controversial allegations today
:04:22. > :04:27.as the barristers in this enquiry made their closing rock remarks.
:04:28. > :04:31.That is right. Those scathing criticisms came as this enquiry
:04:32. > :04:35.reaches the final stages of the public hearings, with the lawyers
:04:36. > :04:39.representing the various parties making their closing statements. The
:04:40. > :04:42.aim of this public enquiry is to establish exactly what happened when
:04:43. > :04:52.Anthony Grainger, and on armed man was shot Dowell dead. At the time
:04:53. > :04:57.the police said they thought he was part of a plan to carry out an armed
:04:58. > :05:00.robbery, but of course no weapon was found. So today the fierce
:05:01. > :05:06.criticisms came from the lawyer who is representing the victim's family.
:05:07. > :05:11.Of the police operation itself he said this was more like a kamikaze
:05:12. > :05:12.cavalry than a restrained and professional approach that should
:05:13. > :05:48.After today's hearing I spoke to the victim's partner and asked her with
:05:49. > :05:51.the enquiry reaching its final station, what she hoping for?
:05:52. > :07:06.A 62-year-old man, from North Wales and a 55-year-old from Wirral
:07:07. > :07:09.are being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to commit arson
:07:10. > :07:17.An inquest has concluded that a man who was crushed to death by a bale
:07:18. > :07:19.of carpet that fell on him at a Widnes recycling plant,
:07:20. > :07:23.The jury said though that the storage of the bales
:07:24. > :07:26.at Fresco Environmental Ltd "contributed" to
:07:27. > :07:33.A man was rescued from the sea off the Fylde coast this morning
:07:34. > :07:36.after being spotted up to his neck in the waves.
:07:37. > :07:39.An RNLI inshore lifeboat was launched to pull the man out
:07:40. > :07:45.He was treated for the effects of the cold.
:07:46. > :07:49.Unemployment in the North West fell by 24,000 in the last quarter.
:07:50. > :07:52.The number of jobless in the region now stands at 154,000,
:07:53. > :08:02.Visitors to the Isle of Man TT races are being told not
:08:03. > :08:04.to treat the island's roads like a race track.
:08:05. > :08:08.Thousands of bikers travel to Manx motorsport events and each year
:08:09. > :08:11.people die in crashes that aren't connected to the racing.
:08:12. > :08:16.22-year-old Lewis Clerk was killed when he was hit by another biker
:08:17. > :08:19.who was riding on the wrong side of the road - his image
:08:20. > :08:25.is being used in a new safety campaign which launched today.
:08:26. > :08:27.People, when they are out and about, need to be sharp
:08:28. > :08:32.They need to stay within their own limits and their
:08:33. > :08:36.And they simply just need to treat the place
:08:37. > :08:43.A fraudster who stole almost ?25,000 from a Preston charity has been told
:08:44. > :08:49.The ruling has outraged staff at Space Centre which caters
:08:50. > :08:52.for people with complex special needs.
:08:53. > :08:55.Fund raiser Fiona Barnes was jailed after admitting she stole cash
:08:56. > :09:00.But a proceeds of crime hearing was told she now has no assets.
:09:01. > :09:04.Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story.
:09:05. > :09:07.The Space Centre in Preston is a sanctuary for people
:09:08. > :09:20.She was opposed to raising funds to keep it going. In reality she was
:09:21. > :09:26.pocketing cash which should have gone to the charity. She stole
:09:27. > :09:29.almost ?25,000 in all. It was devastating. We really thought we
:09:30. > :09:33.would going to close. It was only through the good nature of the
:09:34. > :09:38.building contractors that we didn't. What did you think of her? When I
:09:39. > :09:44.knew her I thought she was marvellous, a friend, a great
:09:45. > :09:46.colleague. But she was so calculating, she came in new exactly
:09:47. > :09:50.what she was going to do. She knew it would probably ruin us. She
:09:51. > :09:56.admitted stealing the money in court. She was changed jailed for 15
:09:57. > :09:59.months for what she did. Yesterday a hearing was held to decide how much
:10:00. > :10:04.of her ill gotten gains she would have to pay back. But the judge was
:10:05. > :10:09.told financial assets now amount to zero and so ordered she should just
:10:10. > :10:14.pay back ?1 and that could be paid over seven days. The here is
:10:15. > :10:21.outraged. To think she admitted she had taken nearly ?25,000 only to
:10:22. > :10:24.have to pay ?1 back. I find it absolutely disgraceful. Of course it
:10:25. > :10:34.is common practice for the authority to seize assets from convicted
:10:35. > :10:40.Reynolds. Police killer, had his home sold. A career criminal amassed
:10:41. > :10:44.a ?2 million fortune, he died in 2012 but last year his family were
:10:45. > :10:49.forced to surrender the money. But assets to be seized they have two B
:10:50. > :10:53.assets in the first place. When a court finds that someone has no
:10:54. > :11:00.assets, they may make a nominal order of ?1 like they have in this
:11:01. > :11:03.case to be paid immediately or initial time. After this the Crown
:11:04. > :11:06.Prosecution Service can make a further application should the
:11:07. > :11:08.defendant come into money. So there is still just a chance the centre
:11:09. > :11:16.may still get back what it lost. Lancashire Police say they've
:11:17. > :11:18.arrested over 130 anti-fracking protesters at a shale gas
:11:19. > :11:20.exploration site near Little Plumpton since January -
:11:21. > :11:22.and are also it's investigating over 30 complaints about it's
:11:23. > :11:27.officers by protesters. It comes as a silent vigil
:11:28. > :11:30.by campaigners against so called "aggressive policing"
:11:31. > :11:31.at the Preston New Road site, decended into
:11:32. > :11:33.confrontation with officers. This, say anti-fracking groups,
:11:34. > :11:40.is proof that Lancashire Police are using increasingly aggressive
:11:41. > :11:46.tactics to crackdown on protesters. Today the response from campaigners
:11:47. > :11:51.was a vigil outside Kirkham police station - no confrontation,
:11:52. > :11:57.no shouting, just near silence. I'm disappointed that
:11:58. > :12:03.the police can't cope with emotion without resorting
:12:04. > :12:05.to shoving people. Are you disappointed
:12:06. > :12:07.with the way it's panned out? I am a little bit
:12:08. > :12:09.because obviously we wanted it to be a silent protest
:12:10. > :12:16.but unfortunately feelings run high. Scenes like this have become
:12:17. > :12:23.a regular sight at Preston New Road since energy firm Quadrilla began
:12:24. > :12:26.to prepare the site for Shell gas Last month one of its
:12:27. > :12:29.suppliers pulled out amid claims of bullying and
:12:30. > :12:31.intimidation by protesters. There is a real concern,
:12:32. > :12:33.genuine concern, about the You say that, but there
:12:34. > :12:36.have been people here today who are maybe slightly
:12:37. > :12:38.aggressive towards police. People were shouting,
:12:39. > :12:40.people were shouting They were going right
:12:41. > :12:42.up into the police That is true but the point
:12:43. > :12:46.being is that this is not something that has happened
:12:47. > :12:48.completely from isolation. Lancashire Police
:12:49. > :12:49.say around a hundred officers are needed
:12:50. > :12:51.at the site each day, which is costing
:12:52. > :12:55.close to half ?1 million a month. But have they been overly
:12:56. > :12:56.aggressive towards protesters? We took the footage
:12:57. > :13:00.to a senior officer. Do these videos show
:13:01. > :13:02.police wrongdoing? Well, clearly, I can't comment
:13:03. > :13:06.on specific incidents. A number of complaints
:13:07. > :13:08.have been made about police behaviour and they will be
:13:09. > :13:11.properly investigated. There's approximately 30 complaints
:13:12. > :13:17.been made about police behaviour. On the flip side I would say that
:13:18. > :13:20.134 arrests have been made in direct connection
:13:21. > :13:28.with the development of the quick, And those arrests, I feel,
:13:29. > :13:32.have all been appropriate, Following today's
:13:33. > :13:34.exchange, protest groups handed police a letter
:13:35. > :13:36.signed by over 300 people. They're asking the incoming
:13:37. > :13:39.Chief Constable of Lancashire Police to join them
:13:40. > :13:41.in an open meeting where they'll ask him to hear their concerns
:13:42. > :13:46.about the way police are handling the situation
:13:47. > :13:48.at the site and Preston New Road. In the meantime anti-fracking groups
:13:49. > :14:08.say their protests will continue. My Brave dad's struggle with
:14:09. > :14:12.dementia, the actors Christopher Ecclestone calls for more awareness
:14:13. > :14:17.of the illness. And boxing clever, Natasha Jonas and balancing her
:14:18. > :14:20.ambitions with motherhood. A new wind farm off the Merseyside
:14:21. > :14:23.coast boasting the world's biggest wind turbines
:14:24. > :14:38.was officially launched today. Each of the 32 binds -- turbines is
:14:39. > :14:42.taller than the Blackpool Tower. It is hoped they would generate enough
:14:43. > :14:43.electricity to power a medium-sized town.
:14:44. > :14:45.Our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, has been taking
:14:46. > :14:48.This morning, we took a helicopter over Liverpool Bay
:14:49. > :14:51.with the Danish energy firm, Dong, who run the new wind farm.
:14:52. > :14:54.Each of the turbines is nearly 200 metres tall,
:14:55. > :14:56.that's more than 600 feet in old money.
:14:57. > :15:01.Each of the blades are as long as nine double-decker buses.
:15:02. > :15:05.The innovative technology embedded in these machines mean that
:15:06. > :15:08.we can harness more electricity at low wind speeds,
:15:09. > :15:12.and therefore generate higher electricity as well
:15:13. > :15:15.for the homes around the north-west Merseyside region.
:15:16. > :15:18.Overall, the Burbo Bank extension can produce enough
:15:19. > :15:21.electricity to power 230,000 homes a year.
:15:22. > :15:23.The power which the turbines generate
:15:24. > :15:29.It then goes down 25km of undersea cables
:15:30. > :15:33.to an onshore station in north Wales.
:15:34. > :15:35.When you get close up to these turbines,
:15:36. > :15:38.you realise just how colossal they are.
:15:39. > :15:44.One turn of the blades on just one of the turbines produces enough
:15:45. > :15:50.electricity to power the average home for more than a day.
:15:51. > :15:52.The facility inaugurated today is an extension of one
:15:53. > :15:55.built ten years ago, though the original only has a
:15:56. > :16:01.Further up the coast five sites near Barrow of producing enough
:16:02. > :16:15.They had a posh do at Anfield to launch
:16:16. > :16:18.So will the world's tallest turbines be
:16:19. > :16:22.Whenever we saw a new type of turbine arising we always kind of
:16:23. > :16:24.looked at each other and said, "Well, it can't
:16:25. > :16:27.And the only lesson learned from that is
:16:28. > :16:29.it always got bigger and it got massively bigger.
:16:30. > :16:31.So I don't think the journey will stop.
:16:32. > :16:33.And among the investors in Liverpool Bay, the
:16:34. > :16:36.The idea is that it generates as much renewable
:16:37. > :16:39.energy as it uses in its factories and shops.
:16:40. > :16:42.Everything we use in our factories, in our offices, in our
:16:43. > :16:44.shops, locally as well - we have a Lego shop

:17:07. > :17:09.He's famous for playing Doctor Who and starring in many
:17:10. > :17:11.other TV dramas and films, but the actor Christopher Eccleston

:17:38. > :17:41.reader, you would have gone here. And it's all about their dignity, so
:17:42. > :17:42.my dad would approve. Close to home, and
:17:43. > :17:44.close to his heart. Christopher Eccleston has a personal
:17:45. > :17:59.interest in the new hub My dad was and is my hero. He was a
:18:00. > :18:08.lovely man. He could be a swine as my mum would say, as I can be, as we
:18:09. > :18:13.all can be. And sadly, for the last 12, 14 years of his life, you lived
:18:14. > :18:14.with dementia. And we saw this wonderful personality stripped away.
:18:15. > :18:17.The aim of this centre is to be somewhere where people with dementia
:18:18. > :18:20.can come and share their experiences - not just with each other,
:18:21. > :18:23.but somewhere where they can pass on their advice to academics
:18:24. > :18:25.Dementia affects two in three people.
:18:26. > :18:28.So one in three of us are likely to have dementia,
:18:29. > :18:31.and one in three of us will be supporting someone with dementia.
:18:32. > :18:33.So actually, yes, dementia now touches more people than it
:18:34. > :18:39.The priority is how we support people who have
:18:40. > :18:41.dementia now to live well in the community,
:18:42. > :18:43.as independently as possible for as long as possible.
:18:44. > :18:45.It's been designed in consultation with people
:18:46. > :19:02.I was 49, and I was nursing, I was looking after people with dementia.
:19:03. > :19:06.And I found myself being very clumsy, I would put things down on a
:19:07. > :19:13.surface too heavy and they would break. Or I would be tripping over
:19:14. > :19:19.things, and then I was not recognising people. Later on in the
:19:20. > :19:23.journey, things can get tough, and directed lies that. But until such
:19:24. > :19:27.time we can help people live well, whether they are in a nursing home,
:19:28. > :19:33.or their own home, thereof things that each of us can do. I can prompt
:19:34. > :19:36.this because I know what I am talking about, not as much as my mum
:19:37. > :19:37.does... Christopher Eccleston's mum,
:19:38. > :19:38.Elsie cared for his Dad Today she joined him as the new hub
:19:39. > :19:42.was officially opened. It's hoped this will be
:19:43. > :19:45.a valuable resource, not just for academic research,

:22:09. > :22:08.up her baby. Natasha first came to prominence
:22:09. > :22:11.as one of the stars of Britain's Where she lost out to the eventual
:22:12. > :22:16.gold medal winner Katie Taylor. And she's now determined to prove
:22:17. > :22:30.herself in the professional game. As well as I did as an amateur I
:22:31. > :22:35.feel like I underachieved a bit. I want to make sure I walk away with
:22:36. > :22:40.no regrets. Her mind is totally set on being a world champion and giving
:22:41. > :22:41.it her best shot. Do you think she can do that? 100%.
:22:42. > :22:48.Making sure her daughter is cared for - this was the two
:22:49. > :22:52.And of course honing her skills in the gym.
:22:53. > :22:57.But with a big supportive family behind her she says it works well.
:22:58. > :23:07.Boxing is a dangerous profession. Having such a young daughter, is
:23:08. > :23:12.that on your mind? You never want to think about not coming home. But
:23:13. > :23:17.that could be the same for a race car driver or any dangerous sport.
:23:18. > :23:23.She is my motivation to do anything. I want her to see success. I
:23:24. > :23:26.strongly believe that success breeds success.
:23:27. > :23:29.Her mum is very much on track to make her professional debut,
:23:30. > :23:38.She's going to be fit, running around after a toddler and going to
:23:39. > :23:41.the gym. Shall we look at the weather? It
:23:42. > :23:54.rained. Even when the rain turned up it was
:23:55. > :24:02.later than we anticipated, but it hasn't been as bad. This picture
:24:03. > :24:06.shows just a little tins of sunshine every now and then. Some nice
:24:07. > :24:09.pictures coming in. This is a lovely one. As we head to the next couple
:24:10. > :24:15.of days we are cooling down a little, the air will become cooler
:24:16. > :24:21.and fresher. There is low-pressure close to us, forcing whether France
:24:22. > :24:25.towards us, so I think we will see some showers and outbreaks of rain
:24:26. > :24:28.in the next few days. This is how it is panning out. Some sunshine every
:24:29. > :24:37.now and then and the temperatures are neither one nor cold. Today here
:24:38. > :24:41.is the rain. Parts of Merseyside and Cheshire haven't seen the rain. As
:24:42. > :24:44.we speak it is pulling away, you can see it moving over the other side of
:24:45. > :24:48.the Pennines, and will clear to the North Sea in the next couple of
:24:49. > :24:53.hours. From here onwards it improves. It gets dry and clear and
:24:54. > :24:58.as the weather front pulls through we will start to feel the benefit of
:24:59. > :25:02.the cooler air coming in. The overnight temperatures have been in
:25:03. > :25:05.double figures and mid-teens earlier this week. I think tonight will be
:25:06. > :25:12.more realistic. Some places will fall to around eight degrees.
:25:13. > :25:16.Remember, on the chart are minimum temperatures. Some places will still
:25:17. > :25:21.be around nine or ten. Tomorrow is a bit hit and miss. There will be some
:25:22. > :25:23.showers but also some sunshine. The showers are not that widespread but
:25:24. > :25:27.where they turn up they could be fairly heavy and there could be some
:25:28. > :25:31.thunder. That is the exception rather than the rule but you can see
:25:32. > :25:34.them working through Cumbria, down the Pennines, that is where they
:25:35. > :25:40.could be at their liveliest. Elsewhere, good, long spells of
:25:41. > :25:45.sunshine, a light breeze. It will be cooler and fresher, at maybe 15, 16,
:25:46. > :25:50.17 if you are lucky. Someone picking me up and the lack
:25:51. > :25:54.of football knowledge! Just before we go -
:25:55. > :25:57.we ran a story last night about the auction for the legendary
:25:58. > :26:00.Hilda Ogden's even more legendary pinny, curlers and headscarf .Well
:26:01. > :26:05.the auction was held this afternoon in Southport and the items
:26:06. > :26:10.were snapped up for ?4,200. They were bought by advertising
:26:11. > :26:23.executive Trevor Beattie. I don't know what he's going to do
:26:24. > :26:52.with them. Thanks for watching. Have a lovely evening.
:26:53. > :26:56.The choice you now face is all about the future.
:26:57. > :27:01.Whoever wins on the 8th of June will face one overriding task -
:27:02. > :27:06.to get the best possible deal for this United Kingdom from Brexit,
:27:07. > :27:12.because making Brexit a success is central to our national interest
:27:13. > :27:17.and it is central to your own security and prosperity.
:27:18. > :27:20.Because, while there is enormous opportunity for Britain
:27:21. > :27:27.if we do not get this right, the consequences will be serious
:27:28. > :27:33.and they will be felt by ordinary working people across the country.
