A man's been charged with the murder of Paul Groom | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The 48-year-old from Fazackley suffered head injuries | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
in a suspected assault a few days earlier. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Michael Hill, who is 32 and from Kirkby, | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
will appear before magistrates tomorrow. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Some schools in the North West look set to lose as much as 10% | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
of their income after the Government changed its funding formula. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
It means jobs could be lost in West Cheshire and Manchester | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
but, in other places, budgets will increase. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
It's trigonometry time for this year nine maths class at Burnage Academy, | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
but it's sums of a different type bothering the head. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
He thinks up to 10% could be cut from his school's budget | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
from the running costs of the school - | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
it is going to affect staffing, more than likely. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
And that will, of course, affect what happens in the class | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
There are winners and losers across our region | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Amongst the winners are Blackpool, Knowsley and Bury, | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
who will all see a 2% increase in their funding. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The biggest losers are schools like this one in Manchester - | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Also losing out is Cheshire West and Chester schools. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Those figures are just for the first year under this new formula. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
The Government says the settlement does make things fairer. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
I think, over time, there's been an increasing imbalance | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
between inner city schools and other schools. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
that there is a more reasonable balance. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
The changes may be welcome in Trafford, | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
but not in Ellesmere Port and Neston, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
I think there is a slight weighting towards rural areas, | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
but I think the core problem, really, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
is that school funding has not been keeping up with inflation. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
The National Audit Office warned this week | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
that there was a ?3 billion gap in funding for schools. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
That means in Burnage and beyond, whether you are a winner or loser | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
this week, more pressure on budgets appears inevitable. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
Hundreds attended a Christmas carol concert in Chester | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
It's the second year the cathedral has held such an event | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
to help civilians in the war-torn country. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
From parishioners and politicians to people out Christmas shopping, | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
they came with Syria in their thoughts. | :02:40. | :02:48. | |
It's believed half the population of Syria have fled their homes | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
since the war began, and there were songs and prayers | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
something that's on our screens daily at the moment, | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
as it was in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
"How can we help the Christ child this Christmas, | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
and those especially in Aleppo, Yemen and across the world?" | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
The concert was free, but people were asked | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
to make a donation to the charity Christian Aid, | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
one of many working to ease the suffering. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Been very upsetting, really, hasn't it? | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
we thought we'd give some contribution. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
We should all be thinking about people over there | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
and doing what we can, the little we can. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
It's all we can do, you know, try and support them as much as we can. | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Some of the money will also support Syrian refugees | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Here's Alex with a look ahead to next week's weather. | :03:46. | :03:57. | |
Here's Alex with a look ahead to next week's weather. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Well, we did have quite a misty, murky day today. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
And we've got more mist and murk on the way this evening. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
High pressure still broadly in charge of our weather, | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
but with that occluded front coming towards us, we are expecting | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
some drizzly conditions at times throughout the day. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Now, looking at the detail for the rest of tonight, | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
there some mist and fog patches in places. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Where there are a few breaks in the cloud this evening, | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
you may see just a sparkle of frost in rural spots, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Tomorrow morning, some of those patches of mist and fog may | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
take some time to clear, so quite a grey start. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
But some drizzly conditions as well, and highs of 10 Celsius. | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Rather cloudy weather on the way for the next few days. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
From all of us on the late team, goodbye. | :04:47. | :05:06. | |
Good evening. It's a big week for pre-Christmas travel plans and the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
weather can be quite challenging at times, too. We start the week with | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
the issue of fog once again. Just about anywhere on the hills on | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Monday morning but at its most extensive at lower levels across | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
parts of western England and Wales, particularly towards the south-west, | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
it could hamper your morning journey and some of the airports. Maybe not | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
as extensive as it has been through the weekend in East Anglia and the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
south-east but fairly great start for many. Damp, too, in parts of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland but brightening up later. Subtle hints | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
of brightness through the cloud elsewhere. It does stay rather grey | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
and misty and all in all, a fairly cool day. We finish Monday with | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
patchy rain and drizzle in eastern England which will push westward, | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
some heavy bursts in and around the English Channel but clear skies | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
through Monday night into Tuesday | :05:55. | :05:55. |
