0:00:00 > 0:00:00day on Sunday. That chilly weather is set to continue into
0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's all from the BBC News at Six.
0:00:02 > 0:00:04Good evening.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Welcome to North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Our top story: Record rainfall as floods cause havoc
0:00:09 > 0:00:12in Lancashire and Cumbria.
0:00:12 > 0:00:1970 houses are evacuated.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22My housemate went to get his wellies and had to climb out the window
0:00:22 > 0:00:26because he tried opening the front door and water came through like a
0:00:26 > 0:00:27tsunami. It was like a film.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The coastguard joined other emergency services
0:00:29 > 0:00:35rescuing stranded residents.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38James Bulger's mum hits out - as one of his killers is jailed
0:00:38 > 0:00:39for possessing child pawn.
0:00:39 > 0:00:45for possessing child porn.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48A blast from the past - the strike that went
0:00:48 > 0:00:49on for over a year.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Putting their backs into it - the local teachers who went
0:00:51 > 0:00:57to Zambia to get a lesson of their own.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And picking up a hard back -
0:00:59 > 0:01:01but is it fantasy or fiction?
0:01:01 > 0:01:12Why they are limbering up at the library.
0:01:12 > 0:01:22Floods have once again struck the region.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29North Lancashire saw Maureen than storm Desmond two years ago --
0:01:29 > 0:01:36sought more rain -- saw more rain.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Flood warnings and flood alerts remain in place tonight
0:01:38 > 0:01:40in Lancashire and Cumbria as the clean-up goes on.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Beccy Barr is in Galgate for us this evening.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49Galgate is really was a huge amount of flood damage overnight. Serious
0:01:49 > 0:01:56flood warnings are still in place include Ecclestone and Keswick in
0:01:56 > 0:02:01Cumbria. In those areas, people are told to prepare for floods. The
0:02:01 > 0:02:05alert is still in place which means of flooding is possible across
0:02:05 > 0:02:13various parts of Lancashire and Cumbria share.... In Galgate and
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Lancaster, it was last night when the floods really hit and today I've
0:02:16 > 0:02:20been looking around the area, speaking to people affected to find
0:02:20 > 0:02:22out about their experiences.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Another flash flood, another clean-up, this
0:02:23 > 0:02:27time in the Lancashire village of Galgate.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Just up the road at Lancaster University, the weather station
0:02:29 > 0:02:32recorded its greatest ever rainfall in a 24-hour period.
0:02:32 > 0:02:41The deluge caused the River Condor to overtop its banks.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It was relatively quickly at that point then came through the back
0:02:44 > 0:02:47door as well. Through the back door, it properly flew into the house and
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Roseberry quickly from then until about one in the morning. -- is very
0:02:53 > 0:02:56quickly. My housemate went to get his wellies from the car and had to
0:02:56 > 0:03:00climb through the window because he opened the front door and water came
0:03:00 > 0:03:01in the tsunami. It was like a film.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04On Hala in nearby Lancaster, a beck flooded Lentworth Drive so severely,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06the coast guard were brought in to search properties.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09There were power outages, trainlines and roads were closed
0:03:09 > 0:03:15and schools were shut.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Emergency services received 500 calls overnight. Dozens of people
0:03:19 > 0:03:26and animals were rescued as floodwaters rose. High volume pumps
0:03:26 > 0:03:30and Lancaster kept businesses dry, which otherwise would have flooded,
0:03:30 > 0:03:36but today the operation turns to a clean-up job.Here in Galgate,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39basements are being pumped out and this operation is likely to continue
0:03:39 > 0:03:39for some time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It's only two years since Storm Desmond in North Lancashire
0:03:42 > 0:03:44and South Cumbria caused devastation to homes, businesses and
0:03:44 > 0:03:46infrastructure in these same areas.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50There have been floods on a smaller scale since then too and it's tough
0:03:50 > 0:03:51for small businesses.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Go Burrito in Lancaster shut for weeks after the 2015 floods.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56As these pictures show, July brought flash floods, too.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59And again last night.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Go Burrito has invested in flood defences so they were
0:04:02 > 0:04:04back up and running, but the Environment Agency warns
0:04:04 > 0:04:12this is an ongoing trend.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Year in year out, we're seeing more and more extreme events and this is
0:04:15 > 0:04:21our cause of the change in the climate so we're seeing sharp
0:04:21 > 0:04:24rainstorms coming in over the last couple of days.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27That is cold comfort to those living in these flood risk areas.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30It's only November and for people here it looks like a long,
0:04:30 > 0:04:32hard winter ahead.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40I'm joined by Kat Smith, the MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood and in whose
0:04:40 > 0:04:44constituency we are now. Thanks for joining us. There have been
0:04:44 > 0:04:49questions recently over the council's maintenance of gullies and
0:04:49 > 0:04:54rivers. Do you think there is any accountability in this instance to
0:04:54 > 0:04:57the local council?Following last night, they will be investigations
0:04:57 > 0:05:04into what the causes were for the mass flooding, particularly here in
0:05:04 > 0:05:11Galgate. I want to see what impact the council's funding cuts have had.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I have had constituents raising with me concerns about trains being
0:05:14 > 0:05:19blocked with leaves and debris and not being cleared by the council
0:05:19 > 0:05:22regularly. It's something I oppose Lancashire County Council about
0:05:22 > 0:05:25recently and asked them to maintain the maintenance, and I have not
0:05:25 > 0:05:30heard back about it so there will be serious questions for the council
0:05:30 > 0:05:33but also questions for the Environment Agency who faced huge
0:05:33 > 0:05:39budget cuts and by what maintenance of the rivers and gullies and dikes
0:05:39 > 0:05:42around this area have been because local farmers have been raising
0:05:42 > 0:05:46concerns with me about the maintenance of them as well.the
0:05:46 > 0:05:50result was going to be a political element to this in a Labour
0:05:50 > 0:05:55constituency with the Conservative controlled council but the council
0:05:55 > 0:05:58today said that it's just sheer volume of rain. We did have a huge
0:05:58 > 0:06:02amount of rain yesterday will stop sometimes these things happen.There
0:06:02 > 0:06:06is no doubt the climate is changing and we should expect wetter and
0:06:06 > 0:06:09wetter weather and I'm not trying to score political points as I think
0:06:09 > 0:06:14the Government has a lot to answer for in terms of funding because it
0:06:14 > 0:06:18is struggling to keep up with the needs of adult social care and
0:06:18 > 0:06:23maintenance of gullies and dikes. There housing developments in this
0:06:23 > 0:06:28area. Should this have an impact on those decisions?The Garden village
0:06:28 > 0:06:33is closed for this area. If there was any evidence that this would
0:06:33 > 0:06:36make the flooding issues worse, I think it should be stopped in its
0:06:36 > 0:06:39tracks. The housing development is needed and I had constituents
0:06:39 > 0:06:42waiting for housing but it has to take into account the flooding risk
0:06:42 > 0:06:49to the local area.We did have a 500 homes across Lancashire without
0:06:49 > 0:06:54power, 250 of those have now been restored, 250 still to be restored
0:06:54 > 0:06:58but the authorities are working on that, too. Back to the studio for
0:06:58 > 0:07:00now.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04One of the killers of toddler James Bulger has been recalled
0:07:04 > 0:07:07to prison suspected of having child abuse images on his computer.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It is the second time Jon Venables has been sent back to jail under
0:07:10 > 0:07:20similar circumstances.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He killed James Bulger with his friend in 1983.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26He was released in 2001 on licence, after serving eight years
0:07:26 > 0:07:28for the murder of two-year-old James in 1993.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill, has been following this story
0:07:30 > 0:07:33and joins us from our Liverpool newsroom now.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Jon Venables, who's now 35, was recalled to prison last week.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It was because he was suspected of having images of child abuse
0:07:38 > 0:07:42on a computer linked to him.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45He hasn't been charged, but an unnammed police force is now
0:07:45 > 0:07:46carrying out an inquiry.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Venables and Robert Thompson were just 10 when they abducted
0:07:49 > 0:07:52two-year-old James Bulger from the Strand shopping centre
0:07:52 > 0:07:56in Bootle and murdered him on a railway line in Liverpool.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Both killers were released on licence after serving eight
0:07:58 > 0:08:00years of life sentences.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02A legal ruling gave them lifelong anonimity.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03But in 2010 Venables, admitted downloading indecent images
0:08:03 > 0:08:08of children and given a further sentence.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13He was released again in 2013 with a second new identity.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Whether and when he's released for a third time will depend
0:08:17 > 0:08:20on the parole board, who'll no doubt take into account
0:08:20 > 0:08:23that he seems to be re-offending in simlar way to 2010.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25We've had a statement from James Bulger's
0:08:25 > 0:08:28mother, Denise Fergus.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I saw a tweet from his mother last night, saying, here we go again. Has
0:08:45 > 0:08:48there been any further statement from the family?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49We've had a statement from James Bulger's
0:08:50 > 0:08:53mother, Denise Fergus.
0:08:53 > 0:08:53In it, she says:
0:09:04 > 0:09:13James's father Ralph Bulger also issued a statement expressing
0:09:13 > 0:09:16concern that some media have made reference to the current
0:09:16 > 0:09:18whereabouts of Jon Venables, something that's forbidden by law
0:09:18 > 0:09:20under the court order which accompanied his
0:09:20 > 0:09:26and Thompson's original release.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Mr Bulger goes on to say that on legal advice he will not be
0:09:29 > 0:09:37making any comments on what has been reported by the media.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39An application by the Hillsborough match commander David Duckenfield
0:09:39 > 0:09:42to have his legal costs paid by South Yorkshire Police
0:09:42 > 0:09:45has been rejected.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The former Chief Superintendent wants the courts to uphold a judge's
0:09:47 > 0:09:49previous ruling that he should not be prosecuted again.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52But the Crown Prosecution Service plans to get the order lifted so it
0:09:53 > 0:09:54can charge him with manslaughter.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner turned down
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Mr Duckenfield's request for public funding.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02A High Court Judge has continued an injunction obtained
0:10:02 > 0:10:03by energy company Ineos.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It prohibits unlawful activities such as trespass and obstruction
0:10:05 > 0:10:08at its shale gas sites.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10The company wants to avoid the kinds of scenes seen
0:10:10 > 0:10:12at Cuadrilla's Preston New Road site in Lancashire.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Campaigners had challenged the injunction, said it will limit
0:10:14 > 0:10:24the right of people to protest.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31The inquest into the Manchester Arena bombing will go ahead after an
0:10:31 > 0:10:35error on a website which said it would be postponed. It has been six
0:10:35 > 0:10:36months since 22 people were killed.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Arriva bus drivers across the North West have rejected
0:10:38 > 0:10:40the company's revised pay offer.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It means drivers look likely to strike on nine days in december,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45including a four day walk-out in the run up to Christmas Eve.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49The Company's calling for more talks between both sides at ACAS.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51A group of fire cadets from Cheshire who've been
0:10:51 > 0:10:54rebuilding a school in Nepal, say the experience has changed them.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57More than a dozen teenagers made the trip to an earthquake damaged
0:10:57 > 0:10:58region of the Hymalayan country.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01They raised tens of thousands of pounds to pay for it
0:11:01 > 0:11:05and they've just returned.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I thought we were building a small school but it is an amazing high
0:11:08 > 0:11:11school which will benefit loads of people in the future.It made me
0:11:11 > 0:11:16really happy to know that I have contributed to their happiness.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Labour have announced that they've suspended the Bury South MP
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Ivan Lewis from the party.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28It is over sexually inappropriate behaviour. Nina, what do we know
0:11:28 > 0:11:32about these allegations?This came to light last week that at a Labour
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Party event in 2010, Ivan Lewis touched a woman's leg and invited
0:11:35 > 0:11:41her to his house. The berry South MP who stood for mayor earlier this
0:11:41 > 0:11:46year said he never sexually harassed anyone but was sorry if his
0:11:46 > 0:11:49behaviour made anyone feel awkward. The party then consider the
0:11:49 > 0:11:53allegation and that led to a suspension today. The party told us
0:11:53 > 0:11:58it takes all allegations of sexual harassment extremely seriously. He
0:11:58 > 0:12:05remains the MP and denies the allegations ever took place and is
0:12:05 > 0:12:09fully cooperating with the inquiry. That takes the number to 12 of MPs
0:12:09 > 0:12:13facing investigation or suspension relating to sexual assault or
0:12:13 > 0:12:19harassment.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21It was one of the longest workers' strikes in history.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23For nearly eighteen months, machine-makers at a factory
0:12:23 > 0:12:25in Stockport took on the company's American owners.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28In 1967, 30,000 engineering workers elsewhwere in the North West walked
0:12:28 > 0:12:31out in their support.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And there were violent scenes as thousands joined the picket line.
0:12:34 > 0:12:3750 years on, Stuart Flinders has been talking to some
0:12:37 > 0:12:42of those who were there.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48Harold Wilson was Prime Minister.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Jimi Hendrix burnt his guitar.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53And if there was a summer of love going on somewhere,
0:12:53 > 0:12:59it wasn't in Stockport.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Roberts Arundel, a textile machinery factory in Chestergate,
0:13:01 > 0:13:07was at the centre of a bit of dispute.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Betty Ridgeway's husband, Deborah's father was one of the strikers.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Malcolm Hopwood was on the strike committee.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13The site's changed hands.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18The memories are as strong as ever.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24I had just come out of my apprenticeship. Suddenly I was in
0:13:24 > 0:13:30the middle of a big strike. It was horrendous. I had also signed up for
0:13:30 > 0:13:34my first house.The police were really violent with them.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38The factory had been bought by an American firm,
0:13:38 > 0:13:39determined to modernise, but with little time
0:13:39 > 0:13:40for local union agreements.
0:13:40 > 0:13:49When 150 workers went on strike, they were sacked.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53They have set a plan to break trade unionism in that firm. The North
0:13:53 > 0:13:58West is a strong area of the country and if they break it here, they
0:13:58 > 0:13:59break it for the whole country.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01There were sympathy strikes across the country.
0:14:01 > 0:14:11And those defying the picket line were given a hard time.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20This area was Old Trafford -- was like Old Trafford. You could not see
0:14:20 > 0:14:27foreheads. Helmets would fly, fists would fly -- you could not see for
0:14:27 > 0:14:37heads.We want to make it clear to everybody but we depreciate
0:14:37 > 0:14:43interference with the police at an industrial dispute.Bricks flew, the
0:14:43 > 0:14:50windows got put in on the factory. The police attacked the pickets.
0:14:50 > 0:15:01Three picketers received over thousand pounds worth of
0:15:01 > 0:15:04compensation from the police after being arrested.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08A levy on engineering union members across the country meant strikers
0:15:08 > 0:15:10continued to have an income while the dispute lasted.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11But the American owner, Robert Pomerantz, wasn't
0:15:11 > 0:15:17for giving in either.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22In the end, after 18 months of strike action, Robert simply shut
0:15:22 > 0:15:29the factory down. The dispute has cost his factory about £1 million
0:15:29 > 0:15:34and cost the workers their jobs.It was a victory for the men on strike,
0:15:34 > 0:15:39but the factory closed down, so whose victory was it? It wasn't
0:15:39 > 0:15:46really a victory because everyone lost their jobs.Although the
0:15:46 > 0:15:49factory closed, it wasn't the case that people stayed out of work as a
0:15:49 > 0:15:58result. It stopped what have a union town and for me, that is a victory
0:15:58 > 0:16:07-- it meant Stockport remained a union town.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Staying with people making a difference around the world
0:16:10 > 0:16:14and two teachers from the Channel 4 series Educating Greater
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Manchester have travelled 5000 miles to see how different
0:16:16 > 0:16:19teaching can be when you don't have access to even the most
0:16:19 > 0:16:20basic of facilities.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Alicia Shanks and Simon Humphries swapped Harrop Fold in Salford
0:16:22 > 0:16:25for a school in Zambia that had no running water and only
0:16:25 > 0:16:26two makeshift toilets.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32Alicia and Simon are with us tonight but first let's see how they got on
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Students leaving school to walk to find clean water
0:16:36 > 0:16:45should not be normal, but sadly, here it is.
0:16:45 > 0:16:55They can aspire all they want, but they've not got the basics.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59So you go in the hole and once it's full after months...?
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Oh, my God.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02It's really important for the benefit of education
0:17:02 > 0:17:05for these students that we do get on board with it and do something
0:17:05 > 0:17:08about it, not just sit there and let this happen,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11because it is happening and just because you can't see it does
0:17:11 > 0:17:12mean is not happening.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Today we have arrived at the school, a different school
0:17:14 > 0:17:21to yesterday.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25We're here to look at the difference and the impact Water Aid has had
0:17:25 > 0:17:28as this school has recently received help from Water Aid.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Flushing toilet, let's try it.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Brilliant.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36So much cleaner to what you had.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's only 20 minutes away from the school we have visited
0:17:38 > 0:17:41in the past few days, but that 20 minutes
0:17:41 > 0:17:42feels like a world away.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46The two can't even compare to each other, it's so different.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55Thank you for coming in. We saw there at the end of the school that
0:17:55 > 0:17:58has had Water Aid and what a difference it makes but the original
0:17:58 > 0:18:04school, Simon, when you say it was basic, how basic?Incredibly. We got
0:18:04 > 0:18:12there on the first day. And they did warn us to say, it is incredibly
0:18:12 > 0:18:17basic, and we got there, there is no toilet at all, no running water, the
0:18:17 > 0:18:22hygiene is quite poor as you can imagine and that affect attendance
0:18:22 > 0:18:27because the pupils at school and it has a domino effect on the local
0:18:27 > 0:18:29community, leaving school without qualifications, the lack of progress
0:18:29 > 0:18:36and it means shops are affected, it makes a big difference.Alicia, you
0:18:36 > 0:18:41come from a school that lots of people have seen on television, but
0:18:41 > 0:18:44it must make you realise whatever problems you think you have in an
0:18:44 > 0:18:51urban school in this country, it's a world away, isn't it?Yes, it really
0:18:51 > 0:18:56opened my eyes and the fact that we add in the same world, sometimes you
0:18:56 > 0:18:59don't realise that sometimes what's going on, even when we sat here now
0:18:59 > 0:19:03and I think about the children and the stab at that school in Zambia
0:19:03 > 0:19:07and what their life is like.Do you think the children their treasure
0:19:07 > 0:19:13the education more?Yes, that was really evident when we were there.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17We asked what they wanted to do when they left school and was teachers,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21nurses, doctors. One said she wanted to be a history teacher or the
0:19:21 > 0:19:26president and she was very set on that. They do have high aspirations.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Over here, we take it for granted and over there they don't have that
0:19:29 > 0:19:32and they understand that a lot of pupils around them don't go to
0:19:32 > 0:19:37school at all so they really are respectful for what they have.What
0:19:37 > 0:19:45effect has this had on your pupils? We have said, look what you've got,
0:19:45 > 0:19:49you've got the world in front of you, you got everything you need to
0:19:49 > 0:19:53get to where you want to be and please understand that a respected
0:19:53 > 0:19:58because pupils over there, if they had that, they would grasp the
0:19:58 > 0:20:02opportunity.Water Aid is the charity, tell us exactly what it
0:20:02 > 0:20:06does and what the idea is.The reason I was really interested in
0:20:06 > 0:20:10the first place was I always assumed that charities like Water Aid
0:20:10 > 0:20:17withdrawn help and then leave -- would go and help and then leave.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23But there is also education, they don't just put the facilities in and
0:20:23 > 0:20:26leave, you saw the children singing, that is the hygiene club so they
0:20:26 > 0:20:29learn about hygiene and what it means about why hygiene is important
0:20:29 > 0:20:35like washing your hands. It is long-term solutions and then we
0:20:35 > 0:20:38talked to a student called Ruth who said she goes back home to her
0:20:38 > 0:20:44community and teaches the elders the importance of hygiene.People who
0:20:44 > 0:20:47are interested can go to the Water Aid website and find out how they
0:20:47 > 0:20:57can be made. The Government will match donations. As the programme
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Educating Greater Manchester changed your school?A lot of teachers have
0:21:02 > 0:21:06reflected and changed the way they teach. It has been really useful.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09People see the weaknesses but also the strengths and it has given us as
0:21:09 > 0:21:14a school a real boost to think, we do everything we can and we had a
0:21:14 > 0:21:20great community.It has given us a platform to do work for charities
0:21:20 > 0:21:28like Water Aid and if we can help in any way.Congratulations on all what
0:21:28 > 0:21:32you have done.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Football, and Everton host Atalanta in the Europa League tonight,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36but regardless of the result, can't progress further
0:21:36 > 0:21:39in the competition.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Last night in the Champions League Manchester United failed
0:21:41 > 0:21:44to book their place in the knockout stages, after losing
0:21:44 > 0:21:46one-nil in Basel.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50A point from their final group match will guarantee qualification.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Bury presented their new manager to the media today
0:21:52 > 0:21:58and Chris Lucketti says his appointment feels like a homecoming.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The former defender made close to 300 appearances for the club
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and since last year had been assistant manager
0:22:02 > 0:22:03at Scunthorpe United.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Bury are currently bottom of League One.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10It means everything to me.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The most successful time I had in my career was at Bury Football Club,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16especially when we took the club from the bottom of the Fourth
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Division into a Championship club.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20The impressions that I've got off the lads have been positive
0:22:20 > 0:22:24and the calibre we've got is more than enough to stay in this
0:22:24 > 0:22:31league and that has got to be our first port of call.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33You might think libraries are for reading in, but this weekend
0:22:33 > 0:22:35performers will be dancing around the shelves of Manchester's
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Central Library.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Illuminate combines dance, music and light art in the reading
0:22:42 > 0:22:45rooms and on the staircases of one of the city's most famous buildings.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The dancers have been rehearsing this week,
0:22:47 > 0:22:48weaving among the somewhat-surprised library users.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Naomi Cornwell reports.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58A quiet afternoon in one of Manchester's historic buildings
0:22:58 > 0:23:00takes a colourful turn as the staircases and
0:23:00 > 0:23:07shelves become a stage.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I just didn't expect to see two partially naked men fighting
0:23:10 > 0:23:12or whatever they were doing covered in glitter in the library.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14It not what you'd expect see.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15I think it's great.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I think anything that gets people into the library
0:23:18 > 0:23:22is brilliant and I love the idea of using the different spaces.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It's a promenade performance, moving around the building
0:23:24 > 0:23:27from the Corinthian columns to the main Reading Room.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It's very, very good, we just saw something was happening
0:23:30 > 0:23:32so we came in to see what it is.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's a lovely idea to attract people in, isn't it?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's a beautiful building anyway and you should come
0:23:36 > 0:23:38in to see what it's like.
0:23:38 > 0:23:48I found seven different spaces within the library and a duty one
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I found seven different spaces within the library
0:23:50 > 0:23:51and I created each one
0:23:51 > 0:23:53of these stories so, in essence, what the audience will
0:23:53 > 0:23:57do is stand outside of the library, they will see one of the stories
0:23:57 > 0:24:00happening and then they will go on a journey as they walk
0:24:00 > 0:24:03through the library and they will just happen upon each one of these
0:24:03 > 0:24:04stories taking place.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Inspired by seven themes that underpin literature,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Illuminate uses 50 dancers to bring to life the stories and characters
0:24:10 > 0:24:20living in the library's books.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29When we are on the stairs, you really need to be careful
0:24:29 > 0:24:33of what is around you.
0:24:33 > 0:24:42The audience is going to be interesting,
0:24:42 > 0:24:44because they are active, they have to walk in the building,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46so that's going to be interesting.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's really strange to see almost a really weird divide
0:24:48 > 0:24:51like you see people getting on with their ordinary lives
0:24:51 > 0:24:53then there's all of this mayhem in the background!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Tickets are free, but must be booked online ahead of the performances
0:24:56 > 0:25:03tomorrow and Saturday night.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11It's very impressive. It made us laugh that people were still doing
0:25:11 > 0:25:19their photocopying, totally oblivious!
0:25:23 > 0:25:31The weather now with Dianne.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42It was really bad 24 hours ago and coast all sorts of problems. Rivers
0:25:42 > 0:25:45cannot react to the volume of rain when it falls in such a short space
0:25:45 > 0:25:51of time. There was a huge amount in just two hours in Lancashire and it
0:25:51 > 0:25:56is the water can go other than over the side of the rivers. From here
0:25:56 > 0:26:00onwards, the picture does change. This is a beautiful shot from one of
0:26:00 > 0:26:02our weather Watchers, stunning rainbows across the North West of
0:26:02 > 0:26:09England. Scattered showers and a chill in the air. The showers have
0:26:09 > 0:26:13kept coming across the northwest of England and have added to the
0:26:13 > 0:26:16problems in some places but the story over the next couple of days
0:26:16 > 0:26:20about the drop in temperature, you can clearly see the wind direction
0:26:20 > 0:26:23dragging in that cool air and we stay like this all the way through
0:26:23 > 0:26:27the weekend so you will have to get used to low daytime temperatures at
0:26:27 > 0:26:31quite cold overnight and that starts tonight. Because we got so much
0:26:31 > 0:26:38moisture on the ground, we got low temperatures already and a warning
0:26:38 > 0:26:41for ice on untreated surfaces. Mainly for the north of the region
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but we could be at risk from time to time. The showers will keep on
0:26:44 > 0:26:50coming, we will bump into the cold air and it could be a bit of sleet.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Not expecting any problems but temperatures overnight
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Not expecting any problems but temperatures overnight are
0:26:53 > 0:26:59significant. We will be down 2-2 and minus three Celsius. Frost first
0:26:59 > 0:27:08thing tomorrow morning. The sun will be there from the word go, but it is
0:27:08 > 0:27:13cold if you're out and about all stop showers continue. Temperatures
0:27:13 > 0:27:18through the afternoon. At the start of the week we saw 17 Celsius.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Tomorrow at best, most places will struggle to 78 Celsius tomorrow
0:27:21 > 0:27:24night there could be some snow which could be around first thing on
0:27:24 > 0:27:30Saturday morning. -- seven or eight Celsius.
0:27:35 > 0:27:46At least the cold might kill Roger's Jams! -- germs.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Thanks for watching. Good night. Bye-bye.
