Campaigners fighting a Government decision to allow fracking at a site | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
in Lancashire have lost a High Court action. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
The company Cuadrilla is now free to extract shale | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The Preston New Road Action Group says it's bitterly disappointed. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Cuadrilla says it's a good decision for local businesses and for jobs. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Near to the fracking site at Preston New Road, | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
This is happening almost every day, but the confrontations | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Campaigners say they are not surprised by today's decision, | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
which ruled in favour of Cuadrilla, but they say they are angry. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The only course of action now left open to us is more direct action. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
We have followed all the other routes, all the legal processes that | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Some residents who live near the site have spent years | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
fighting the application to frack here. | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
This was perhaps their last chance of stopping it going ahead. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
We thought our legal team had put our case over well. | :01:12. | :01:25. | |
Three years ago, Cuadrilla applied to test frack at Preston New Road, | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
but Lancashire County Council refused planning permission. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
That led to a six-week public inquiry. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
On the back of that, a report was sent to the Secretary of State. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Then the resident asked for a judicial review. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
It is one of the most looked at applications that Lancashire has | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
ever seen and we are very pleased, and I think it is very good | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
for Lancashire because it means we can now go ahead and hopefully | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
develop shale gas there and bring jobs and gas | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
One local business group said they were delighted with the outcome. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
# For he's a jolly good fellow... # | :02:07. | :02:21. | |
But these campaigners say that won't happen. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
This man climbed on top of a lorry yesterday afternoon. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
This protester has now been on this lorry for 24-hours, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
and it looks like the police are now going to bring him down. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
But the lorry left with him on board. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Tensions appear to be rising here as Cuadrilla | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
continues its operations at the site. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The company plans to bring in a drilling rig next month, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
and then to start fracking by the autumn. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
A Catholic priest has been convicted of abusing a teenage boy | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
while he was a teacher at a boarding school in Lancashire | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Father Michael Higginbottom, who's now 74, subjected a teenage | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
boy to repeated sexual abuse when he worked as a teacher | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
at St Joseph's College in Upholland in the late 1970s. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
The Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell has requested a meeting | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
with the Home Secretary about the problems caused | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
She said she was worried about the spread of the former legal | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
high and warned it was only a matter of time before somebody | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Just 22 days now until the citizens of Greater Manchester | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
and the Liverpool City region, that's Merseyside and Halton, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
They'll have powers over transport, training and housing. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Our political editor Nina Warhurst has been to meet a family | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
in Liverpool to find out what's on their Mayoral wishlist. | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
Gerard and Patrick, their mum Claire and nanny Anne. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Among the 1.5 million people of Liverpool city region who, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
in just over three weeks, will have their first mayor. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
I'm hoping that they will be able make decisions that will lead | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
So instead of somebody in London saying, "Is this a good idea? | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
we will actually see things happening. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
something the mayor will have a major say on. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Aged 40, she is moving home to save for a deposit, | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
I mean, we had to save a deposit which was what you would spend | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
I'm at a point in my life where it's going to be difficult to get | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
a mortgage for how long they are going to want | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
you to pay it off by, so I think we need to sort of look | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
at housing and maybe give people a few more options. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
A new mayor means a new deal for transport. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
Would you like to take the bus more often? | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
And why do you think you don't take the bus more often? | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
And the bus has to stop at all bus stops and pick people up. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
Something I'm guilty of is driving into town, | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
but if you can park for the same price as it is on the bus, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Especially if I've got to carry 14 bags home with me. | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
By the time Gerard hits 16, the new mayor will have had ten | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
When I was 16, most of the boys were going, "I've got | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
an apprenticeship" but that seems to have died a death. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
What does this family make of the Liverpool super ports, | :05:40. | :05:58. | |
HS3 or the Northern Powerhouse that the government | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Everybody knows the phrases and you hear them bandied about so much. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
For the normal Jo Elvin, that doesn't matter that much at all. | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
You go, "Oh, that's nice" and you keep ironing. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
It goes in one side and out the other. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
So you're optimistic he or she can make a big difference? | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
If they live here, they are for the people here, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
and they are making the decisions here, then it's going to be better | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
And you can find a full list of candidates for the Mayoral | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
elections in the Liverpool city region and in Greater Manchester | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
A North West University is leading the international fight | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
Lancaster has been named as a centre of excellent | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Researchers there are developing ways of identifying future threats, | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
and more importantly, ways of defeating them. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest has been finding out more. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
Barely a day passes without news of another case of cyber crime. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
There's been a data breach at the payday loan firm | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Wonga involving a quarter of a million customers... | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
A serious hacking attack targeted up to 4,000,000 customers | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The Defence Secretary's warning Russia is using sustained cyber | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Already there is huge scale of the problem and as we connect | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
more and more systems to each other, the scale is only going | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
This is the security unit at Lancaster University and it's | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
just been named as one of a small number of specialist centres that | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
will lead Britain's fight against cyber attacks. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Here they aim to stay one step ahead of the cyber criminals, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
identifying potential future threats and targets. | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
And those targets are manifold as so many areas of our lives depend | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
on computer technology, anything from banking and finance, | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
What we're seeing here is the set-up that would exist | :08:01. | :08:10. | |
We actually test these devices for potential vulnerabilities | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
so we test how attackers might attack them and when we find any | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
vulnerabilities we disclose them to the manufacturers. | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
We also develop new types of defences. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Jonathan is working on a project to identify and repel attempts | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Attacks which reduce speed can be very potent like time sensitive | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
stock exchange transactions which don't go through in | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
time, so costs companies billions of dollars. | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Presumably, as you come up with defences against attacks, | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
the attackers come up with new forms of attack. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
The challenge is, as a defender, you start at a disadvantage | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
because an attacker only has to find one vulnerability, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
while you have to potentially find and guard against all possible | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
vulnerabilities in a system, and that makes it a challenging | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
but also very exciting area to work in. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Dave Guest, BBC Northwest Tonight, Lancaster. | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
The National Trust is celebrating 50 years of looking | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
The conservation charity has cared for 210 hectares of this stretch | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Today staff, volunteers and the local community gathered | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
to celebrate its famous sand dunes and some of the special wildlife | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Good evening. You are probably tired of telling you that this week will | :09:25. | :09:48. | |
has descended across as and stays has descended across as and stays | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
with us through the Easter weekend. Maybe by Monday things might be | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
getting a bit better, but if you have been out and about today it | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
felt really quite cold with that north-westerly breeze. We have got | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
several weather fronts coming towards us, there is not much in | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
them but they do mean cloudy, chilly weather and at times fairly and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
weather. Some places are still fairly clear. One or two light | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
showers, and we have still got the north-westerly breeze which will | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
prevent the temperatures from falling too far. For the most part | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
we will stay around 7 degrees. Tomorrow, not as bad as today, but | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
not too much better. A lot of cloud to start the day, some outbreaks of | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
rain first thing. As the morning goes on, they will take hold a | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
little bit more. If you are lucky, every now and then you may just see | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
the cloud thinning and breaking and writer skies trying to break | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
through, but a cloudy day for most cases. The breeze still from the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
north-west, not quite as cold as today, so temperatures around ten or | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
11 degrees. And more of the same. Brighter on Saturday but cloud again | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
on Sunday. Here is Tomasz. Good evening. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
The weather in the run-up to | :11:11. | :11:11. |
