:00:12. > :00:16.The town of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria is welcoming news
:00:17. > :00:17.that Labour is committed to renewing
:00:18. > :00:20.the UK's nuclear weapons system, Trident.
:00:21. > :00:23.The confirmation came in its leaked manifesto.
:00:24. > :00:26.Trident is a major election issue in Barrow,
:00:27. > :00:34.Our political editor, Nina Warhurst, is there for us tonight.
:00:35. > :00:39.Nina, it's no secret Jeremy Corbyn is an opponent of nuclear weapons.
:00:40. > :00:54.It is the wording of that elite that has failed to convince the
:00:55. > :00:57.electorate here. They are committed to operation Trident, but they are
:00:58. > :01:02.not committed to nuclear and long-term, which has left Labour
:01:03. > :01:06.voters feeling that the party they voted for for long time does not
:01:07. > :01:10.have their back. Ships have been built embarrassing is 1894 and, at
:01:11. > :01:14.the moment, operation Trident provides more than 8000 jobs here.
:01:15. > :01:15.Little wonder that nuclear is at the heart of this debate in this
:01:16. > :01:18.marginal seat. but there is something
:01:19. > :01:21.troubling this town. A decision last year to renew
:01:22. > :01:24.the Trident missile system should secure the jobs here
:01:25. > :01:27.of those who build the submarines But which party would
:01:28. > :01:32.you trust to see it through? Tony Keen runs an engineering
:01:33. > :01:35.services company company that depends on the BAE
:01:36. > :01:38.Systems shipyard. I would have to dramatically change
:01:39. > :01:43.the strategy of the business. It wouldn't be fatal,
:01:44. > :01:46.but it would be bad. About half of your work
:01:47. > :01:52.is with BAE Systems, isn't it? You can tell by the shops
:01:53. > :01:57.whatever industry or sector you're in in the town,
:01:58. > :02:02.it affects every part of the community.
:02:03. > :02:06.There is not enough work on a Trident submarine in Barrow
:02:07. > :02:12.to keep 12,000 people fully employed.
:02:13. > :02:17.Labour's Dennis Healey meeting shipyard workers in Barrow in 1983.
:02:18. > :02:23.the Conservatives overturning a 7,000 majority.
:02:24. > :02:28.supported unilateral nuclear disarmament.
:02:29. > :02:33.a policy confirmed in the leaked manifesto.
:02:34. > :02:36.Its last MP, John Woodcock, was firmly behind it.
:02:37. > :02:40.And yet, some voters are wary of party leader Jeremy Corbyn's
:02:41. > :02:45.lifelong links with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
:02:46. > :02:48.You don't know what Jeremy Corbyn's going to do
:02:49. > :02:52.So nobody knows what's going on in his mind.
:02:53. > :02:57.The Labour Party, especially their leader, seems to be
:02:58. > :03:02.very negative for the future of the submarines.
:03:03. > :03:05.Rarely is one issue so prominent in politics,
:03:06. > :03:10.One false move by a candidate and his or her party
:03:11. > :03:12.can cost them in the whole election.
:03:13. > :03:18.defence isn't just about our national security -
:03:19. > :03:28.it's about jobs and the very future of this town.
:03:29. > :03:31.Nina, we've heard how important Trident is to Barrow -
:03:32. > :03:38.but is it the only issue driving votes?
:03:39. > :03:46.No, not at all. I spent two days here and people are worried about
:03:47. > :03:52.housing, immigration, Brexit. Labour's problems in Barrow predate
:03:53. > :03:56.Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Back in 2015, they saw the majority drop
:03:57. > :04:02.from more than 5000 votes to fewer than 800. Now that puts them on a
:04:03. > :04:10.list of 90s situates a sad cross the North West where 5% of Labour
:04:11. > :04:15.voters, if they switch to Conservatives, will change the seat.
:04:16. > :04:21.There are more than 30 seats where there is a margin of 20% all more.
:04:22. > :04:25.That means we are virtually unshakeable. The Labour Party does
:04:26. > :04:28.have its work cut out, and it only has four weeks to make up that
:04:29. > :04:31.ground. I know you will be keeping abreast of all that for us. Thank
:04:32. > :04:33.you very much. A drug smuggling gang
:04:34. > :04:36.has been sentenced to a total An international police operation
:04:37. > :04:39.stopped the smugglers getting heroin the ringleader of the group,
:04:40. > :04:45.seen here on the left - The 64-year-old had been jailed
:04:46. > :04:51.in the past for a similar plot. He's previously served a lengthy
:04:52. > :04:55.sentence for this type of crime. He gave no thought to the harm
:04:56. > :04:59.and misery that would have occurred, had these drugs flooded the streets
:05:00. > :05:01.in the North West, and equally the harm it causes
:05:02. > :05:04.in the communities overseas Rochdale's former
:05:05. > :05:10.Labour MP Simon Danczuk, says he will stand as an Independent
:05:11. > :05:13.against Labour's Tony Lloyd Mr Danczuk was suspended
:05:14. > :05:17.by the Labour Party while it investigated allegations
:05:18. > :05:19.he sent explicit texts Chester Zoo, which fell victim
:05:20. > :05:26.to a fraud of over ?1 million, The zoo was duped into handing
:05:27. > :05:31.over the money, in 2013, to a man claiming to represent
:05:32. > :05:34.a construction company Four men have been convicted
:05:35. > :05:41.for their involvement. One of the country's biggest
:05:42. > :05:43.new arts centres has officially
:05:44. > :05:45.opened in Chester tonight. and it means that,
:05:46. > :05:50.for the first time in a decade, there's a theatre
:05:51. > :05:52.and a cinema in the city centre. But there's more to the project
:05:53. > :05:55.than films and plays, Rehearsals at Storyhouse Chester
:05:56. > :06:01.for tonight's show It is an adapted John Gay's
:06:02. > :06:06.18th-century play to put in references
:06:07. > :06:08.to Chester and Merseyside. Storyhouse is on the site
:06:09. > :06:12.of the old Odeon cinema, but a modern extension means it can
:06:13. > :06:16.offer much more than movies. It's wonderful to see the building
:06:17. > :06:19.so full and vibrant and busy, with children playing,
:06:20. > :06:22.with their parents watching, big sisters reading stories
:06:23. > :06:24.to their little sisters, seeing young people gathering
:06:25. > :06:27.and doing their homework It's brilliant to see the building
:06:28. > :06:32.used exactly how we'd dreamed. It's ten years since Chester city
:06:33. > :06:35.centre had a cinema or theatre. Judging from the number of people
:06:36. > :06:37.who turned up today, it will assuage
:06:38. > :06:42.a real cultural hunger. One of the key things
:06:43. > :06:45.about Storyhouse is the range of cultural activities
:06:46. > :06:47.that go on here. The library, the cinema,
:06:48. > :06:51.the theatre, and there's even a big TV screen
:06:52. > :06:57.to show important events. I mean, there were a lot
:06:58. > :06:59.of challenges on this project. A big cultural project in a city
:07:00. > :07:02.like Chester historic city. I suppose the first challenge
:07:03. > :07:05.was to think about how you design a building that is a library,
:07:06. > :07:07.a cinema and a theatre. How you bring all those things
:07:08. > :07:11.together in a completely new way. And really we've tried
:07:12. > :07:13.to make the library the glue that joins
:07:14. > :07:18.everything together. a youth theatre
:07:19. > :07:21.and space for crafts. Storyhouse is open from 8am
:07:22. > :07:48.until the last show finishes. Is a British astronaut has been
:07:49. > :07:55.speaking to children children today. A film is being made about his life.
:07:56. > :08:03.Plunged into darkness and into space. Mike took hundreds of
:08:04. > :08:08.students on a journey through his career. It is almost 20 years since
:08:09. > :08:14.he helped to save near, the Russian space station, after it collided
:08:15. > :08:21.with a supply vessel. Conquering adversity is with one of the themes
:08:22. > :08:24.of his talk. My story probably does help because
:08:25. > :08:27.I tell them how I got around some of the setbacks.
:08:28. > :08:37.If you don't have a way to stop it floating, it is horrible. He was
:08:38. > :08:40.really funny, and the videos were funny. Without gravity, you think,
:08:41. > :08:47.how would people move properly and things like that.
:08:48. > :08:50.It is an inspirational story, if you keep trying, you can achieve it.
:08:51. > :08:54.That is the message we want our children to have. Never give in,
:08:55. > :08:57.always try your best and do everything you can to realise your
:08:58. > :09:01.dreams. A Hollywood movie is now being made about his life will stop
:09:02. > :09:10.enough time has passed to make that movie bearable for me to be made. Do
:09:11. > :09:12.you know who is playing you? No. Do you have any wishes in particular?
:09:13. > :09:17.No. They've got to have more hair! Manchester United fans
:09:18. > :09:18.are celebrating tonight after the club booked its place
:09:19. > :09:21.in the Europa Legue final in a tempestuous match
:09:22. > :09:24.at Old Trafford. United hung on to win on aggregrate
:09:25. > :09:28.against Celta Vigo, And the beautiful weather
:09:29. > :09:45.we've been having is on the way out! It is not a dreadful weekend by a
:09:46. > :09:49.long shot. What a fantastic day today, 21 degrees, 70 Fahrenheit. We
:09:50. > :09:52.won't see that again in the next won't see that again in the next
:09:53. > :09:56.couple of days, but we saw tonnes of sunshine. The story has changed
:09:57. > :10:01.through the afternoon. The cloud pushed in, making the sunshine more
:10:02. > :10:05.hazy and weak in the southern part of the region. It is all ahead of
:10:06. > :10:08.some weather which pushes into was the early hours of tomorrow morning.
:10:09. > :10:15.It will trundle more as we head towards Friday. The graphics have
:10:16. > :10:18.decided to die, so you will have to listen to me rather than get
:10:19. > :10:23.anything that supports what I'm saying. Through the night, the story
:10:24. > :10:26.is about the temperatures. They are mild out and about, generally
:10:27. > :10:30.between seven and 11 degrees in towns and cities. A little breezy
:10:31. > :10:35.write-down. Tomorrow is a day which does not hold to much promise,
:10:36. > :10:37.showers will start the day in some places, they will move northwards
:10:38. > :10:44.through the day. They could be heavy. Away from those, brighter
:10:45. > :10:47.skies will try to work their way through. Some places good dodge them
:10:48. > :10:54.completely. They will start to get their act together towards 5pm, they
:10:55. > :10:56.could be a rumble and as well. In the brightest bots, tempters still
:10:57. > :11:02.reach 18 degrees. The outlook for the week is changeable.
