:00:13. > :00:18.We had our say back in June and just over half of us
:00:19. > :00:22.here in the North West - 53% in fact voted to leave the EU.
:00:23. > :00:25.But after today's Supreme Court ruling,
:00:26. > :00:29.They'll have to vote to start the leaving process
:00:30. > :00:32.and that's a development which has left many Remain MPs
:00:33. > :00:38.Do they vote with their conscience or vote with the will of the people?
:00:39. > :00:51.For a slice of life in Brexit bBitain -

:01:43. > :01:44.We have too many foreign people taking advantage of the
:01:45. > :01:50.Although many still have the same concerns, they're hopeful leaving
:01:51. > :01:52.the European Union will make a difference.
:01:53. > :01:58.What do you want from the process now?
:01:59. > :02:01.I think we have more chance of dealing
:02:02. > :02:03.with the rest of Europe than being told what to do
:02:04. > :02:05.by the Germans and French.

:03:02. > :03:07.Our Political Editor Nina Warhurst has been following developments
:03:08. > :03:22.Big implications but what has been the reaction here? 53% of people in
:03:23. > :03:29.the North West voted to leave the European Union and it is relatively
:03:30. > :03:36.straightforward. They will trigger Article 50 because that is how their
:03:37. > :03:44.constituents voted. For many others, they are the ones who face a crisis
:03:45. > :03:49.of conscience. Do they vote to leave the European Union or as their
:03:50. > :03:54.constituents did, to stay. One of the MPs facing that dilemma is Lucy
:03:55. > :04:03.Powell. Which way we vote? On the second reading which will come next
:04:04. > :04:07.week, I will vote to trigger Article 50. Although I don't want to leave
:04:08. > :04:14.the European Union, I budget to remain in the European Union. What I
:04:15. > :04:18.am being asked is to give a referendum result that I voted for
:04:19. > :04:23.and supported. This is only the beginning of the process. It is not
:04:24. > :04:26.the end. We will be laying down amendments, hold on the government
:04:27. > :04:31.to account and there would be a vote at the end of this process on the
:04:32. > :04:37.deal the government has got. There is no blank cheque here but I feel
:04:38. > :04:42.is my responsibility. Even though 60% voted to remain? That would be
:04:43. > :04:48.hugely disappointed but the problem with referendums is it is binary. It
:04:49. > :04:54.is yes or no. We voted to leave the European Union. It is not what I
:04:55. > :05:02.wanted but it is what is happening. It is not a proportion of votes. We
:05:03. > :05:13.either leave it or we don't. Most MPs do agree with Lucy. I have
:05:14. > :05:17.spoken to some. Jeff Smith, the MP for Liverpool Riverside, they told
:05:18. > :05:21.me they could vote against triggering Article 50 in agreement
:05:22. > :05:26.with their constituents. As for the Lib Dems, they will reject Article
:05:27. > :05:34.50 alas the public get to vote on the final Brexit deal.
:05:35. > :05:40.Bird flu has been confirmed in a flock of 10,000 pheasants at a

:06:13. > :06:14.and earlier in the month, the strain was also discovered
:06:15. > :06:17.in chickens and ducks on a premises near Settle in North Yorkshire.
:06:18. > :06:19.That led to some restrictions coming into the Ribble Valley
:06:20. > :06:23.but this outbreak in Preston in far more significant.
:06:24. > :06:26.A number of birds have died - the rest will be culled and a 3km

:07:52. > :07:55.Up to 100 apprentices will be taken on this year -
:07:56. > :08:02.There's opposition to the plan because some roads will be closed.
:08:03. > :08:04.The firm says it's about opportunities.
:08:05. > :08:06.The the majority of our apprentices come from the local area,

:08:11. > :08:24.With Brexit on the cards, what is the future?
:08:25. > :08:27.We're looking at good deals from the government
