Many children born in the North grow up believing they'll | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
That's the claim from the Children's Commissioner | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
for England, Anne Longfield. A young person leaving a school | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
or college in London or the South-East is 57% more likely | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
to go on to a top university than a child in the north of England. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
This afternoon, Anne Longfield was at Reclaim. | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
A Manchester charity which teaches young working class people | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
Overcoming what it calls stagnating social mobility | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
And the teenagers who come here are aware of the north | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
I do believe that there is a lot less opportunities for young people. | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
Earlier, the children's commissioner was in Trafford meeting | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
local experts who have ideas on how to tackle the lack of opportunity | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
There's too many families who don't get those opportunities at the | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
moment and there is a critical mass of those which means that children | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
just don't have that expectation of being able to have choice and | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
succeed. And she thinks forthcoming | :01:23. | :01:23. | |
political devolution in Greater Manchester is a chance | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
to tackle the problem. That could include new abilities and | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
a new focus on collaboration for vulnerable children when they move | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
around the city, to help them work through those transitions, and to | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
put in place better links with business and with higher education. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Later this month, the commissioner will be in Liverpool to hear the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Merseyside perspective. She hopes to have some interim conclusions by the | :01:56. | :01:56. | |
summer. Research carried out | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
by North West Tonight suggests most of the region's police forces | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
are making little or no effort to enforce new twenty mile | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
an hour speed limits. The new zones have been set up | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
in residential areas at a cost 20 mph speed limits have been | :02:05. | :02:20. | |
implemented across the country to make our roads safer. However using | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
freedom of information requests, we have learnt police forces in the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
region are barely enforcing the limits. Lancashire spent nearly ?6 | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
million setting up the sounds of it last year Lancashire Police did not | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
find or prosecute anyone for breaking the limit. In Merseyside, | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
police find 78 drivers. Lancashire Police said that budget cuts forced | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
them to concentrate on motorways and main roads. In Manchester, these | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
zones have been implemented on one streets or so and around 140 schools | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
like this one. But this week, Manchester City Council decided to | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
halt the roll-out of the zones and instead spend the available budget | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
on more traditional traffic calming on more traditional traffic calming | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
measures like pedestrian crossings. This is the council 's analysis | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
which prompted the change of heart. In Manchester as a whole, accidents | :03:23. | :03:34. | |
have gone down around 33%. The figures that they have quoted in | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
there and have initial evaluation are very low sort of base over a | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
short period so we would say, give it longer. Parents at the school | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
gates agreed. There are lives saved. That is what I think, go for it. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Road safety remains an important issue for our communities. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
One of Britain's most senior female judges has warned women who get | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
drunk that they are putting themselves in danger | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
of being targeted by rapists. Jailing a man for rape | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
in Manchester, Lindsey Kushner QC said women were entitled to "drink | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
themselves into the ground", but their behaviour | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
Cheshire Police are tonight still at the scene of an armed stand-off, | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
A man with a crossbow is refusing to leave a house | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
in Weston near Crewe, which has been cordoned off. | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
More than 100 years ago, Derwentwater was the scene of one | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
of the worst losses of life the Lake District has ever known. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
Now a retired policeman is telling the story of the 1898 | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The Lake District, one of the nation 's favourite tourist destinations of | :04:39. | :04:54. | |
the 21st-century. But it was equally popular in the late 19th century. A | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
visit to Lakeland provided respite for those who lived and working in | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
the grimy industrial towns and cities of the North. Among them, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Mary Jane Smith, Mary Alice Reid, Nancy pickles, Francis Crossley and | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Helena Clegg. They were in a party of mill workers from Nelson who | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
headed for the lakes in the August of 1898. The end of holiday treat | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
was to be a sale on Derwentwater, so the five women came down to the lake | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
and boarded a rowing boat. Sadly, they never return. When they were | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
out on the lake, one of her lost her bag overboard and in the commotion | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
that followed trying to retrieve it, the boat became unstable and | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
capsize. All five women lost their lives. An inquest was to hear the | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
boat had been overloaded. A verdict of accidental death was recorded. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
This new book documents the tragedy. From my research, I could find no | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
about this as a subject. And that about this as a subject. And that | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
disturbed me. It was such a significant incident that it should | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
be remembered. The tragedy did lead to new rules regarding pleasure | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
craft. The legacy of these five lives lost is safer leisure time on | :06:15. | :06:15. | |
the lakes for us all. Have a very good | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
rest of the evening. I'll leave you with Dianne, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
who has the weather. We have seen our share of sunshine | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
over the last couple of days but over the weekend, it is a thing of | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
the past. We have weather front after weather front and there is an | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
awful lot of cloud cover. That has been the story today and over the | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
next couple of hours, that will not change. You will see drizzle working | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
its way through. It is very light, nuisance value, but it does spoil | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
things. Temperatures are good. Tomorrow, we are just waiting for | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
rain. It will move into the Isle of Man and the coast as we go through | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
the day. Blanket cloud covering from time to time. You will see a few | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
tiny spots of drizzly rain. It is very mild indeed. Temperatures | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
between 11 and 13 degrees. More of this to come and on Sunday, another | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
weather front means a fairly cloudy picture. | :07:23. | :07:41. | |
Where the sunshine broke through to the North of Cornwall temperatures | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
rose to 17 degrees under the blue skies. For many of us the cloud | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
didn't break up through the day, keeping temperatures pegged at | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
around about 13 degrees. That was the high today in the London region. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Mild over night with the blanket of cloud around. Most places dry. Rain | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
will work into parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland through the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
early hours of Saturday. It will be mild. Temperatures six to ten | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
degrees. Frost-free to start off your weekend. Saturday will be a | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
decent day to many parts of the country. There will be sunshine to | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
the western isles of Scotland in the morning. Elsewhere in Scotland it | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
will be cloudy and damp first thing. Northern Ireland should see brighter | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
skies, perhaps drizzle first thing for Belfast. For Dumfries and | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Galloway, for | :08:34. | :08:34. |
