We are back with the late news at 10 o'clock. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Merseyside Police are appealing for information | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
after a man was left outside a hospital with stab wounds. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The 21-year-old was taken to Aintree Hospital in the early hours, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
in a light coloured van with blacked-out windows. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
He suffered a number of stab wounds and is in a stable condition. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Police are trying to trace those who were in the van. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
A 25-year-old man arrested in connection | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
with the escape of a convicted murderer in Liverpool | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
has been released while investigations continue. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
from outside Aintree University Hospital on Tuesday. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Detectives are working with police forces across the UK | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
and they're reminding the public not to approach him. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
The Blackpool skyline has changed forever today, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
with the demolition of the eight-storey tower | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
which welcomed visitors in to the resort, was reduced to rubble. | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
Katie Walderman was there to see it happen. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
For almost 40 years, Blackpool's other tower has stood proud. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
It housed Ernie, the machine that selected people at random | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
to become millionaires on the Premium Bonds. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
and his replacement has moved across the way, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
But this iconic eight-storey tower will be no more - | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
dynamite will be used to flatten it, making way for new houses. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Some call it iconic, I'd say it's an eyesore myself. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The Premium Bonds tower has been one of those things | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
that's always seemed to have been here, doesn't it? | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
So it will be quite sad to see it go. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
So how do you bring down 120 foot of concrete? | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
The explosives, if you look, are positioned on the first | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
and second floor, and then the fourth floor | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
The idea being it all blows in sequence - | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
The building should, in effect, tip this way at that point, | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
and it will smash itself to bits on the floor. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
And these two are charged with making it happen - | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I'm so excited. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
It feels weird that you're going to be responsible | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
And what took years to build up took just seconds to bring down. | :02:14. | :02:25. | |
It felt like we were on a Fast Furious set! | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
When you think there's 6,000 tonnes of concrete chasing it down | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
when you knock the legs from under it. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
That was the fun part - now starts the clear-up. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
And it's estimated it'll take until the summer | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
to shift what the explosion's left behind. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Manchester's newest tram line welcomed its first passengers today. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
The Second City Crossing, which runs from St Peter's Square | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
near the Town Hall to Victoria Station, | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
has taken three years to build at a cost of ?165 million. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
It's the final part of a ?1.5 billon transport expansion plan, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
If you improve connectivity, then people's demand | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
and the desire to travel will be more easily satisfied. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
So that's why it will be so good for the local economy, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
but also in the other centres which it connects across the city. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
demonstrators took to the streets yesterday evening in a protest | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
over government cuts to social care and education. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Organisers say over 1,000 people braved the bad weather | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
which ended with a rally in Albert Square. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
A Lancashire MP has called for unity | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
after two councils - Fylde and Wyre - | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
withdrew their support for devolution. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics North West, | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle said the county | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
would lose out to cities like Manchester and Liverpool | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
if its local authorities didn't work together. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
What we've got to do, it's like the election result, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
At the moment, we haven't got a united front. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
that will make sure that Lancashire doesn't lose out. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
We talk about the Northern Powerhouse, | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
We've got to make sure we're not the Northern Poorhouse in all this, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
because not we're stepping up the mark, we're not united. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
and we've got to put the case for Lancashire. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Onto football, and in the League Cup final at Wembley, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
Manchester United are 2-2 against Southampton, | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
The Bolton boxer Amir Khan is to face WBO world welterweight | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
champion Manny Pacquiao later this year. | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
The former sparring partners announced the fight | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
It will take place on April the 23rd, | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
although the location is still to be decided. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Let's have a look at the weather forecast with Rebecca Wood. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Well, this has been a similar picture across the North West today. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Grey skies, but we did have some strong winds | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
That's going to continue as we head into tonight. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
So still a Met Office yellow warning in place. | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Gusts of up to 60 miles an hour possible - | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
we had that across the Isle of Man today - | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
and we've still got some heavy showers | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
As they meet much colder air across the tops of the Pennines, | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
we could see them falling as something wintry. | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
Elsewhere, they are largely going to fall as rain. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
with temperatures dipping down close to freezing. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
For tomorrow, we continue to see the winds easing off | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
ever so slightly, but it is going to be cold, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
and we've got some heavy, thundery downpours to come. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
They start working their way through as we head through the morning. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
There will be some hail, some thunder in there as well. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Around that, we will see perhaps a touch more sunshine | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
So some brighter spells, at least, but it's still feeling cold. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Temperatures just six or seven Celsius. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
There is more of that to come through Tuesday, | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
We're back with the late news at around 10:20pm. | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
Good evening. The fifth named storm of the season has been affecting the | :05:51. | :06:19. | |
west of the UK, and it was named Ewan by the Irish meteorological | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
service because that is where the impact was expected, but it has been | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
quite wet for some and the wettest weather is moving northwards across | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
the North of Scotland and the stronger winds go with that. Strong | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
winds pushing away towards the east with showers and then further | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
showers behind overnight, and some of the showers will contain some | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
wintry weather. It | :06:40. | :06:40. |
