:00:00. > :00:17.The remains of Moors Murderer Ian Brady will not be scattered

:00:18. > :00:20.The promise was made by his lawyer today,

:00:21. > :00:23.after reports in several newspapers suggested it was the serial

:00:24. > :00:31.Even in death, Ian Brady is still attracting controversy.

:00:32. > :00:33.The coroner at his inquest, Christopher Sumner, said yesterday

:00:34. > :00:37.that the killer's body shouldn't be released without assurances his

:00:38. > :00:42.ashes wouldn't be scattered where most of his victims

:00:43. > :00:45.Mr Sumner said he felt he had a moral obligation

:00:46. > :00:48.to make the stipulation, even though he had no legal powers -

:00:49. > :00:51.leading to speculation that it was Brady's last wish.

:00:52. > :00:56.His lawyer, Robin Makin, has told the coroner there is no

:00:57. > :01:00.likelihood that Brady's ashes will be scattered

:01:01. > :01:05.Finding a funeral director willing to take the body of his accomplice,

:01:06. > :01:07.Myra Hindley, when she died in 2002, proved difficult.

:01:08. > :01:23.It is because of that that the coroner wanted assurances

:01:24. > :01:26.that there was a funeral director or a crematorium

:01:27. > :01:27.here locally that would take Ian Brady's body.

:01:28. > :01:30.We heard from Merseyside Police today, who said that

:01:31. > :01:33.as far as they were aware, those assurances have not been made.

:01:34. > :01:35.The pair of them should have hung at the time.

:01:36. > :01:38.But obviously it was brought in that they did stop the hanging.

:01:39. > :01:42.The 79-year-old was in custody for more than 50 years,

:01:43. > :01:45.and there will be a full inquest into his death at Ashworth High

:01:46. > :01:49.So Brady's body is unlikely to be released until tomorrow.

:01:50. > :02:11.That inquest will be held on June 29th.

:02:12. > :02:19.Do we know where Ian Brady's body is? Tonight his body remains under

:02:20. > :02:24.police guard, and that is because those assurances that the coroner

:02:25. > :02:27.was looking for as far as Merseyside Police are concerned from funeral

:02:28. > :02:32.directors or a crematorium have still not been met. They say

:02:33. > :02:38.releasing Ian Brady's body to his executor risks the safety of the

:02:39. > :02:43.body. They asked for this delay in the release of the body. The coroner

:02:44. > :02:47.agreed, and it is two o'clock tomorrow that he says that Ian

:02:48. > :02:53.Brady's body will be released.. Thank you very much.

:02:54. > :02:55.A public inquiry has heard claims that Greater Manchester Police

:02:56. > :02:58.is rotten to the core and tried to cover up its failings

:02:59. > :03:00.after an unarmed man from Bolton was shot dead.

:03:01. > :03:02.36-year-old Anthony Grainger was inside a stolen car

:03:03. > :03:05.when he was shot in the chest by officers in Cheshire in 2012.

:03:06. > :03:07.Lawyers representing his family said the operation

:03:08. > :03:10.Lawyers acting for the police force will make their final

:03:11. > :03:19.Police investigating the huge gas explosion at New Ferry in Wirral

:03:20. > :03:23.The blast injured more than thirty people and damaged

:03:24. > :03:28.A 62-year-old man from North Wales and a 55-year-old from Wirral

:03:29. > :03:31.are being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to commit arson

:03:32. > :03:43.The world's biggest wind turbines starting generating electricity off

:03:44. > :03:47.Each of the 32 turbines is much taller than the Blackpool Tower,

:03:48. > :03:51.and could produce enough electricity to power a medium-sized town.

:03:52. > :03:55.Andy Gill has been taking a look from the air.

:03:56. > :03:58.This morning, we took a helicopter over Liverpool Bay

:03:59. > :04:00.with the Danish energy firm, Dong, who run the new wind farm.

:04:01. > :04:04.Each of the turbines is nearly 200 metres tall -

:04:05. > :04:07.that's more than 600 feet in old money.

:04:08. > :04:11.Each of the blades are as long as nine double-decker buses.

:04:12. > :04:16.The innovative technology embedded in these machines means that we can

:04:17. > :04:18.harness more electricity at low wind speeds, and therefore generate

:04:19. > :04:20.higher electricity as well for the homes around the

:04:21. > :04:28.Overall, the Burbo Bank extension can produce enough electricity

:04:29. > :04:34.The power which the turbines generate goes

:04:35. > :04:41.It then flows down 25km of undersea cables to an onshore

:04:42. > :04:46.When you get close up to these turbines, you realise just

:04:47. > :04:53.One turn of the blades on just one of the turbines produces enough

:04:54. > :04:56.electricity to power the average home for more than a day.

:04:57. > :05:00.The facility inaugurated today is an extension of one

:05:01. > :05:02.built ten years ago, though the original only has a third

:05:03. > :05:07.Further up the coast, five sites near Barrow of producing enough

:05:08. > :05:12.They had a posh do at Anfield to launch the new Liverpool project.

:05:13. > :05:14.So will the world's tallest turbines be overtaken by future technology?

:05:15. > :05:17.Whenever we saw a new type of turbine arising we always kind

:05:18. > :05:29."Well, it can't get bigger than that."

:05:30. > :05:34.And the only lesson learned from that is it always got bigger

:05:35. > :05:39.So I don't think the journey will stop.

:05:40. > :05:42.And among the investors in Liverpool Bay, the company that owns Lego.

:05:43. > :05:47.The idea is that it generates as much renewable energy as it

:05:48. > :05:52.Everything we use in our factories, in our offices, in our

:05:53. > :05:55.shops, globally as well - we have a Lego shop

:05:56. > :05:56.here in Liverpool - everything is balanced

:05:57. > :05:59.by our investments in renewable energy.

:06:00. > :06:10.The new wind farm has an expected life span of 25 years.

:06:11. > :06:13.The actor Christopher Eccleston has taken many film and TV parts

:06:14. > :06:16.throughout his career - but the Salford actor

:06:17. > :06:19.says his latest role is the most important.

:06:20. > :06:22.His Dad, Ronnie, lived with dementia for 12 years before his death.

:06:23. > :06:25.Today Christopher opened a new centre in his home city,

:06:26. > :06:27.aimed at helping others live well with dementia.

:06:28. > :06:33.The idea that you've coloured the bookcase,

:06:34. > :06:36.because my father was a reader, he would have gone here.

:06:37. > :06:38.You know, he would have gone to that.

:06:39. > :06:46.Close to home, and close to his heart.

:06:47. > :06:48.Christopher Eccleston has a personal interest in the new hub

:06:49. > :07:00.He could be a swine, as my mum would say,

:07:01. > :07:08.And sadly, for the last 12, 14 years of his life,

:07:09. > :07:18.And we saw this wonderful personality stripped away.

:07:19. > :07:21.The aim of this centre is to be somewhere where people with dementia

:07:22. > :07:24.can come and share their experiences - not just with each other,

:07:25. > :07:27.but to pass on their advice to academics studying dementia.

:07:28. > :07:29.Dementia affects two in three people.

:07:30. > :07:32.So one in three of us are likely to have dementia,

:07:33. > :07:35.and one in three of us will be supporting someone with dementia.

:07:36. > :07:37.So actually, yes, dementia now touches more people

:07:38. > :07:43.The priority is how we support people who have dementia now to live

:07:44. > :07:45.well in the community, as independently as possible

:07:46. > :07:48.It's been designed in consultation with people

:07:49. > :07:56.I was 49, and I was nursing, I was looking after people with dementia.

:07:57. > :08:00.And I found myself being very clumsy, I would put things down

:08:01. > :08:04.on a surface too heavy, and they'd break.

:08:05. > :08:09.Or I would be tripping over things, and then

:08:10. > :08:20.Later on in the journey, things can get tough,

:08:21. > :08:24.But until such time, we can help people live well,

:08:25. > :08:27.whether they're in a nursing home, or their own home, there are things

:08:28. > :08:32.I can prompt this because I know what I am talking about.

:08:33. > :08:34.Not as much as Elsie, my mum, does...

:08:35. > :08:37.Christopher Eccleston's mum, Elsie, cared for his dad

:08:38. > :08:42.Today she joined him as the new hub was officially opened.

:08:43. > :08:49.It's hoped this will be a valuable resource,

:08:50. > :08:51.not just for academic research, but for those with dementia

:08:52. > :09:04.A very poignant day for Christopher and for his mum.

:09:05. > :09:07.Football and Manchester United proved themselves to be the draw

:09:08. > :09:09.specialists in the Premier League at Southampton tonight.

:09:10. > :09:11.Sergio Romero warmed-up for next week's Europa League

:09:12. > :09:13.Final against Ajax - saving a first half penalty.

:09:14. > :09:15.United have now drawn 15 games and have won fewer

:09:16. > :09:17.in Jose Mourinho's first season in charge than under both

:09:18. > :09:32.Anthony Marshall touching the post. That was as close as they got to

:09:33. > :09:36.score in! Onto the weather. We didn't get today exactly right,

:09:37. > :09:39.and that was to our advantage. We thought the ring with spread

:09:40. > :09:43.everywhere, but you can see it never made it anywhere near the Cumbrian

:09:44. > :09:50.coast. Many parts of Merseyside and Cheshire were also avoided it. Where

:09:51. > :09:54.did turn was heavy, but it managed to work way up to the other side of

:09:55. > :09:57.the Pennines and drift out towards the sea. Unfortunately this weather

:09:58. > :10:01.front does mark a change in how things feel. It has been very warm

:10:02. > :10:05.and wild over the last couple of nights. In some parts of the country

:10:06. > :10:10.we have had the warmest day of the year. But that starts to move away

:10:11. > :10:13.and we see cool and fresher conditions. You can see the pool of

:10:14. > :10:16.blue air descends and works its way through over the next couple of

:10:17. > :10:20.days. Lingering until Saturday. On Sunday, there is not that much

:10:21. > :10:28.consistency about what will happen. We will ignore Sunday at the moment.

:10:29. > :10:32.As we speak, there is a lot of dry and clear whether around. Through

:10:33. > :10:37.this evening and overnight, this is a drive picture. Settles. Through

:10:38. > :10:42.the early hours of the morning, the temperatures will be cooler. 6-9

:10:43. > :10:49.Celsius. For tomorrow... INAUDIBLE

:10:50. > :10:53.Every now and then, a glimpse of the joint working its way through. Where

:10:54. > :10:59.you can see from the map, any showers are isolated. The breeze is

:11:00. > :11:02.light, temperatures reached 16-17 Celsius. For the outlook, I'm afraid

:11:03. > :11:04.it is a shadowy picture.
