Amanda Knox and her mother Margaret were enjoying a quiet evening | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
in last Saturday when an explosion ripped through their home and sent | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Nearly a week after the suspected gas blast in Wirral they're | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
homeless and critical of the local council s response. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
Today Stuart Flinders took them back to see the damaged property | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
in New Ferry for the first time since the evacuation. | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
With the outer cordon lifted today, the full extent of the damage | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Some people travelled all the way from Birmingham | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Amanda and her mum Margaret last saw their home as they ran | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
from the explosion and today I took them back. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
My front bedroom window, the small window, I'd just gone | :00:50. | :01:05. | |
to bed and the whole window just came out and landed on my bed that | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
When you look at it now, you're lucky you survived? | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
They've lost everything including their cat, | :01:21. | :01:43. | |
They're not impressed with the council's response. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
We've just been left to find our own way. | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Our insurance company told us to find ourselves | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Wirral Council says it has been in touch with all those badly | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
When we told them about Amanda and Margaret they said they would be | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
contacting them as soon as possible to offer them all | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
One man badly injured was named today as 21-year-old Lewis Jones, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
currently in a critical condition at the Walton Centre. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
His family have thanked his friends for their support. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Those who live near the area have rallied around. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
At Grove Street Primary an afternoon of fund-raising events, | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the idea not of staff, but of the children themselves. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
So you decided to raise some money and how much do | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
The investigation into the cause of the explosion is still going | :02:37. | :02:50. | |
on and a decision will have to be made about how many of these | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
You might remember a huge fire in Stockport in 2013 which forced | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
A year later another blaze broke out in Salford | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Both began at recycling plants owned by Barry Kilroe. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Today Mr Kilroe, from Alderley Edge, was jailed for 15 months | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
after admitting failing to store waste properly. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Tonne upon tonne of abandoned rotting waste. | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
It has been here so long, trees are sprouting out of it. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
The company, Asset and Land, only had a licence to | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
There is seven times that much is here. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Today the owner, Barry Kilroe, was jailed for 15 months | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
after admitting ten charges relating to waste handling at | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
In August 2013, a huge fire forced parts of the M60 to close. | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
It had broken out at J25, a recycling plant in Bredbury. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
This time at Recovered Fuels in Salford. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
The smoke was so thick, Network Rail suspended its services to Liverpool. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Both companies were owned by Barry Kilroe. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
This was a significant environmental damage | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
as well as damage to infrastructure and the communities around the sites | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
where Mr Kilroe chose to undertake a criminal activity. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
In the space of a year, Environment Agency officers visited | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
all three sites several times and on each occasion | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Waste should be stored securely indoors. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
At every site the amount of waste exceeded the limit | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
allowed and was stored for longer than permitted. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
People would say it is an inefficient system. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
The Court Service has to be fair to all and everybody is innocent | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
So the onus is on the Environment Agency to provide the evidence | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
and in this case it has taken a while because of Mr | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Kilroe's own defence, but we got there in the end. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
It cost ?3 million to clean up the Salford and Stockport sites. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Insurance companies picked up the bill. | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
The site here in Warrington will cost the owner much more. | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
A Manchester man has been sentenced after being convicted | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
of murdering his sister by setting her on fire. | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Stephen Archer poured petrol over Julie Archer in her Newton Heath | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
She never regained consciousness and died three days | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
He was given life imprisonment to serve a minimum of 27 years. | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
A utility firm has been fined nearly ?1 million after it was found guilty | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
of a health and safety offence after the death of a worker. | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
John Flowers died after falling from an electricity pole in Lancashire. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Electricity North West was convicted of contravening work at height | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
regulations by failing to ensure the work was supervised. | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
Councillors in Liverpool have approved a financial | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
plan which could see Everton Football Club | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
build a new stadium on Liverpool's waterfront. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
The authority won't itself be providing any funding | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
for the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock which is set | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
In Super League tonight, George Williams scored two tries | :06:08. | :06:18. | |
for Wigan at Leeds Rhinos, but he finished on the loosing | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
side as Wigan lost by 26 points to 18 at Headingly. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Last week was lovely. What's it going to be like this weekend? A | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
mixed bag for you Graham! We start off Saturday with low | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
pressure. So expect sunshine. Expect showers as well. So Sunday looks | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
better because we're going to see high pressure building briefly so | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Sunday is more settledful tonight is a cloudy night and we're going to | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
see rain on and off overnight, but with light winds it should be a tad | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
milder than last night. We could see temperatures still in double figures | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
in one or two spots. Tomorrow morning the rain continues for a | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
time. It is a cloudy start, but as we head into the afternoon the rain | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
will break up into showers. So it is a mixture of sunshine and April | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
showers for tomorrow. Also with light winds around through the | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
afternoon. I think underneath the sunshine it should feel pleasant | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
with a top temperature of 13 Celsius. Tomorrow night, clear skies | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
once again is going to be a chilly night and Sunday, drier and | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
brighter. So the outlook for Monday, we are going to see rain later on | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Monday. Hello. There the weekend is here and | :07:28. | :07:38. | |
Sunday looks like being the better day of the two. We're going to start | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the weekend, a new month, | :07:42. | :07:43. |
