:00:00. > :00:13.Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.

:00:14. > :00:19.A public inquiry into the death of a man who was shot by police has

:00:20. > :00:22.heard there were serious failings in the police operation.

:00:23. > :00:25.Anthony Grainger - a father of two - was shot by a firearms officer from

:00:26. > :00:32.Clare Fallon has been following today's proceedings.

:00:33. > :00:38.In a Cheshire village, a car park is locked

:00:39. > :00:40.down by investigators. Police had shot and killed

:00:41. > :00:43.an unarmed man as he sat at the wheel of this red Audi.

:00:44. > :00:49.Arriving for the start of the enquiry, Anthony Grainger's family.

:00:50. > :00:52.For years, they have lobbied for this and on the first day,

:00:53. > :00:56.they heard about failings in the police operation.

:00:57. > :01:02.John Beer QC told the enquiry almost all the officers in charge did not

:01:03. > :01:13.The hearing was also told about serious criticisms

:01:14. > :01:20.the IPCC - which found that out-of-date intelligence was used

:01:21. > :01:24.and officers were briefed with inaccurate information.

:01:25. > :01:27.But even though this is a public enquiry,

:01:28. > :01:31.Anthony Grainger's family won't hear everything.

:01:32. > :01:34.15 witnesses will be allowed to give their evidence

:01:35. > :01:40.It's a natural feeling that it is quite frustrating that

:01:41. > :01:42.I'm not going to get to hear the evidence.

:01:43. > :01:45.My legal team will not get to hear all the evidence.

:01:46. > :01:50.And if it is part of the public enquiry, we just

:01:51. > :01:55.When Anthony Grainger was shot dead, he was the subject

:01:56. > :02:03.Police thought he was plotting armed robberies, although his supposed

:02:04. > :02:05.accomplices were later cleared in court.

:02:06. > :02:08.Today, a statement released on behalf of the officer who fired

:02:09. > :02:24.Later in the enquiry, the police officer will give

:02:25. > :02:31.evidence in person about why he opened fire.

:02:32. > :02:34.The elected Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City

:02:35. > :02:37.region will be invited to have their say on the

:02:38. > :02:42.That was the promise from the Government today.

:02:43. > :02:44.The announcement came after the Prime Minister's speech

:02:45. > :02:47.where Theresa May confirmed we will be leaving

:02:48. > :02:53.Our reporter Naomi Cornwell is here, leaving the single market

:02:54. > :02:55.doesn't come as a surprise, what does it mean

:02:56. > :03:07.One MP described it today as we have been sitting on a train knowing we

:03:08. > :03:13.are going to leave the single market and finally that train has started

:03:14. > :03:17.to move. There has been a very mixed reaction. David Nuttall has said

:03:18. > :03:22.this is hugely significant, the clarity means we can move forward

:03:23. > :03:26.and Nigel Evans described it as simply brilliant, saying we are open

:03:27. > :03:30.for business and the north-west will be at the forefront of change. Other

:03:31. > :03:34.MPs have been more sceptical, many saying they would like to see more

:03:35. > :03:40.detail about what kind of trading deal will replace the single market.

:03:41. > :03:43.I am much more worried about future prosperity as a result

:03:44. > :03:46.of the decisions that have been announced today than I was before.

:03:47. > :03:48.Parliament has to hold this Government's feet to the fire.

:03:49. > :03:51.They need to get the best deal for Britain in these very

:03:52. > :03:57.There have been concerns that voices in the north west will be

:03:58. > :04:05.Andy Burnham called on the government to promise a Brexit

:04:06. > :04:13.committee for the regions and this is what happened.

:04:14. > :04:16.I see in the Prime Minister's speech that she makes specific mention

:04:17. > :04:18.of protecting the interests of Cardiff, of Edinburgh, of

:04:19. > :04:20.Belfast, of the City of London, but there is no mention

:04:21. > :04:23.at all of the north west of England, of Greater Manchester,

:04:24. > :04:28.I am acutely conscious of the needs of the north.

:04:29. > :04:30.What I am intending to do, I had not intended to announce

:04:31. > :04:32.today, but I will now because he's asked.

:04:33. > :04:35.After the mayoral elections, I will get all of the mayors

:04:36. > :04:37.of the north to come together in York

:04:38. > :04:49.It is two years before we even start talking about a transitional period

:04:50. > :04:53.and Paul Nuttall, the leader of Ukip, has said that this too long

:04:54. > :04:56.way. He says the government will lead is on a long and expensive game

:04:57. > :05:00.of snakes and ladders and we will end up exactly where we started.

:05:01. > :05:03.A jury has cleared a man accused of forcing a Polish couple to work

:05:04. > :05:08.Khuram Riaz faced two charges after the couple were discovered

:05:09. > :05:14.Today the judge told the court to record not guilty verdicts

:05:15. > :05:19.Mr Riaz's father - Mohammed Riaz - still faces the same charges,

:05:20. > :05:26.A man who was injured in an explosion at a house in Manchester -

:05:27. > :05:28.has been arrested on suspicion of causing it.

:05:29. > :05:31.Two terraced houses were badly damaged in the incident in Blackley

:05:32. > :05:37.The man arrested is in a stable condition in hospital.

:05:38. > :05:40.A second man is in a critical but stable condition.

:05:41. > :05:43.Maria Balshaw - the head of Manchester's award-winning

:05:44. > :05:45.Whitworth Art Gallery - has been chosen to run

:05:46. > :05:50.Dr Balshaw will become the first female director

:05:51. > :05:55.It is the biggest construction project outside London,

:05:56. > :06:00.Commuters have waited a long time for the Mersey Gateway Bridge,

:06:01. > :06:03.but it is on target to open in the autumn.

:06:04. > :06:05.Juliet Phillips has been to see how it is coming along.

:06:06. > :06:12.Through the mist, a colossal construction is taking shape.

:06:13. > :06:15.The Mersey Gateway Bridge will span a kilometre across the water,

:06:16. > :06:17.making it one of the biggest bridges in the country.

:06:18. > :06:20.In total, nine kilometres of bridge and connecting

:06:21. > :06:31.The new bridge is needed because the Silver Jubilee Bridge

:06:32. > :06:34.is currently taking on ten times more vehicles than it was built for.

:06:35. > :06:40.The project is advancing really well.

:06:41. > :06:43.A great amount of work has started to appear out of the river

:06:44. > :06:47.and on the roads that the locals will now be able to see.

:06:48. > :06:49.Prior to that, there was an awful lot of temporary works which had

:06:50. > :06:52.to be done to allow us to carry out this work.

:06:53. > :06:55.People can now see the bridge starting to take shape.

:06:56. > :06:57.Such a large-scale project hasn't come without its challenges.

:06:58. > :06:59.This was the moment the flammable chemical phosphorus was discovered

:07:00. > :07:02.when teams were when digging on the site.

:07:03. > :07:05.When the excavation tool was coming back to the surface,

:07:06. > :07:09.it threw out some of the earth, which is what you'd expect it to do,

:07:10. > :07:12.but much to our surprise, it also threw out material that

:07:13. > :07:15.immediately started combusting and lots of white smoke emerged.

:07:16. > :07:18.We had to bring in a civilian arm of a bomb disposal

:07:19. > :07:21.company and they were able to remove it safely.

:07:22. > :07:24.The scale of the scheme means that on any given day,

:07:25. > :07:33.up to 1,000 people could be working across the site.

:07:34. > :07:36.Over 120,000 cubic metres of concrete will be used.

:07:37. > :07:41.It is a long road ahead, but those working here say

:07:42. > :07:47.the bridge is on schedule to open this autumn.

:07:48. > :07:54.The cheap holiday souvenir brought home to Stockport is causing quite a

:07:55. > :07:58.stir in Turkey. Thelma Bishop from Stockport

:07:59. > :08:00.brought back a souvenir jug She really should have left it

:08:01. > :08:04.behind because it turned out to be a piece of history,

:08:05. > :08:07.thousands of years old. Turkey is a country

:08:08. > :08:12.proud of its history and its ancient artefacts.

:08:13. > :08:14.Many of these treasures are found in good condition.

:08:15. > :08:17.Not many are found in Stockport. The pot lived in that

:08:18. > :08:21.corner for 30 years. During which time Thelma Bishop had

:08:22. > :08:24.no idea it was 4,500 years old until she took it

:08:25. > :08:26.to a local auctioneer. And he said your name is being

:08:27. > :08:29.bandied around all over Turkey. A pot that she'd bought for just

:08:30. > :08:35.a few dollars while on holiday It was a bit of a surprise

:08:36. > :08:39.to find such an ancient Not very large monetary value -

:08:40. > :08:45.?200-?300 probably maximum - its value is in its archaeological

:08:46. > :08:48.significance as it is important In bringing the pot home,

:08:49. > :08:55.Thelma was unwittingly breaking a Turkish law which dates back

:08:56. > :08:59.to the 1880s. Yes, I admit to that but we didn't

:09:00. > :09:02.know at the time and it's taken Potential diplomatic issue avoided -

:09:03. > :09:08.Turkey has given Jason Not quite the same as the one

:09:09. > :09:14.she had in size or in shape It has been handed over

:09:15. > :09:22.to the Turkish Embassy in London where it will go in a diplomatic bag

:09:23. > :09:26.back to Ankara, to the museum there. Four of our teams were playing

:09:27. > :09:33.in the FA Cup third Bolton have lost out

:09:34. > :09:38.to last year's finalists Burnley have beaten Sunderland 2-0,

:09:39. > :09:44.but won't face Fleetwood, But Blackpool go through

:09:45. > :09:49.to the fourth round, where they will meet Blackburn,

:09:50. > :09:51.after a 2-1 win in extra Here's Dianne Oxberry

:09:52. > :09:59.with the weather. It won't surprise you to know

:10:00. > :10:04.that our Weather Watchers caught Very gloomy pictures

:10:05. > :10:08.across the whole of It has been very mild and it stays

:10:09. > :10:13.mild for the next 48 hours. As we head towards the weekend,

:10:14. > :10:16.we will start to see At the minute, it is

:10:17. > :10:20.all about visibility - it is really dull out there.

:10:21. > :10:22.Most places are very, very murky. We have had spots of drizzly rain

:10:23. > :10:25.just about at any point during the day and that story

:10:26. > :10:28.will continue through But it is all about

:10:29. > :10:32.the temperatures, really, while the south of England

:10:33. > :10:35.is struggling to get into low single figures,

:10:36. > :10:38.we have got mid single figures in the overnight period,

:10:39. > :10:40.so we are mild first thing tomorrow morning but once again,

:10:41. > :10:43.it is not the prettiest of pictures. Again, poor visibility on high-level

:10:44. > :10:46.routes first thing in the morning, a tiny spot of drizzle

:10:47. > :10:49.is a possibility but for most of us, The breeze is very, very light

:10:50. > :10:54.so we will not see much in the way of sunshine if anything,

:10:55. > :10:56.but that picture is dry, it is relatively mild

:10:57. > :10:58.with temperatures around 8 If I leave you with the outlook

:10:59. > :11:02.for the next couple of days, you can see lots of cloud but cooler

:11:03. > :11:06.at the weekend. from time to time. Staying settled

:11:07. > :11:11.still. Nick has the national forecast this evening.

:11:12. > :11:15.Hello. If you are watching the football earlier it turned out to be

:11:16. > :11:20.an evening for football fans in Lincolnshire. This is how it looked

:11:21. > :11:23.at the start of the day. No idea whether this weather watcher is a

:11:24. > :11:27.football fan, it's a fan of weather that matters here. All sorts of

:11:28. > :11:31.weather, from 13 in Aberdeenshire to two, despite the sunshine in Kent. I

:11:32. > :11:36.wonder if this six in the cloud across the Midlands into northern

:11:37. > :11:39.England and parts of Wales felt colder, particularly in these misty

:11:40. > :11:43.and foggy conditions in this weather watcher view. Some drizzly rain

:11:44. > :11:44.around at times still from the thicker cloud into parts
