ahead of me as mayor of greater manchester and that is what we will be seeking to do. but it has been highly frustrating week for us. it cannot be right that a project that we have all worked on together, and i speak to everybody behind me and with me, we have been at this for 15 years, where we have been together across the political divide to try and develop the right plan for the long—term, best interest of our country. we put political differences aside, we have worked hard at it, and we have devoted a lot of time and a lot of energy to it. i don't see how you can take a plan that goes beyond the life of any individual government or goes beyond the interest of any one political party, how you can take that plan and basically tear it up at a party conference. surely this

should be done on a cross—party consultative basis, but we have not been consulted this week, a week when our city has done its best to play host to the government. i am proud of what we have done and the way in which the city has staged a conference, but i think we were entitled to better than what we have had. i think this city region was entitled to more respect that it has been given. we brought you here today to the first intercity railway station in the world. it was built almost 200 years ago when the first services started operating between liverpool and manchester and we are proud that it is in our city region. we really did give commuter rail, passenger rail, to the world and thatis passenger rail, to the world and that is a great thing. and you may

remember almost ten years ago george osborne came to a building just 0sborne came to a building just beyond here to kind of tap into that spirit that the north of england had in the 19th century of pioneering and bringing new developments to the world, to say that he would bring forward a northern powerhouse that would be all about that ambition again for britain, building a new north and south lines with, hs2, new platforms at piccadilly, you name it, we were getting it all. it is hard not to feel that ten years on from that announcement the conservative party have not shown the courage, conviction, orthe conservative party have not shown the courage, conviction, or the to turn those statements into reality to the great frustration of people here. we don't say that in a party political sense, here. we don't say that in a party politicalsense, it here. we don't say that in a party political sense, it is where we have been and we have been waiting and working to try and turn all of these things into reality. i hope that

those statements were not made ten years ago just with political intentions in mind, to try and win votes here, but it is starting to look very much like that is what it was all about and what today feels like something more of the same. does this country have the will within it to actually prioritise the north of england and sort out its transport problems? does this country have it within it to stop treating people in the north are second class citizens when it comes to transport and put them at the front of the queue, not at the back of the queue, when it comes to investment? these questions have not been answered by the prime minister today but we will keep working as one greater manchester to make sure we get the right investment for the people here in our city region and across the north to ensure that we do what we can to turn this place into the powerhouse that we all know it can be in the future. i will hand over to you. it can be in the future. i will hand over to yon-—

to catch a bug. in this paris flat there has been an infestation, a small one, but bad enough to oblige the owners to throw out their bed. now a trained sniffer dog is seeing if any bedbugs have survived. it is stressful if any bedbugs have survived. it 3 stressful because you can't see them. they are coming out at night and you see i am sleeping on the floor and knowing that maybe they are coming out from the floor and they bite you. it is a difficult situation to live with. this they bite you. it is a difficult situation to live with.- they bite you. it is a difficult situation to live with. this is what it is all about. _ situation to live with. this is what it is all about. this _ situation to live with. this is what it is all about. this is _ situation to live with. this is what it is all about. this is a _ situation to live with. this is what it is all about. this is a common l it is all about. this is a common bedbugs. there are three living specimens inside this capsule. the black spots are their faeces. it is interesting because if i put my finger at the end here where there is an air passage, they get excited. they can smell my body, they want blood. the dog gives an all clear,

but across the city there has been what seems like an epidemic of cases. pest control companies are doing big business and it is not just beds that bedbugs frequent. in social media there are unconfirmed reports of bugs on metro trains and in cinemas. now it has become a political issue with one mp brandishing a capsule of bugs in parliaments to bat her demand for government action. so bed bug hysteria? well, yes. the internet is certainly pumping up anxiety. but here in marseille at frans's leading medical research centre they know there really is a problem. numbers are going up and mainly it is humans thatare to are going up and mainly it is humans that are to blame.— that are to blame. translation: in 1950 there were _ that are to blame. translation: in 1950 there were 2 _ that are to blame. translation: in 1950 there were 2 billion _ that are to blame. translation: in 1950 there were 2 billion people - that are to blame. translation: in 1950 there were 2 billion people in l 1950 there were 2 billion people in the world, today there are 8 billion. remember bedbugs feed on humans, so when there are more people and more people travelling, that helps bedbugs. fine

people and more people travelling, that helps bedbugs.— that helps bedbugs. one way to lessen bedbugs _ that helps bedbugs. one way to lessen bedbugs phobia - that helps bedbugs. one way to lessen bedbugs phobia is - that helps bedbugs. one way to lessen bedbugs phobia is to - that helps bedbugs. one way toj lessen bedbugs phobia is to see that helps bedbugs. one way to - lessen bedbugs phobia is to see them in action. they may look horrid, but they are actually pretty harmless. the doctor has kindly placed one of the bedbugs on my hand. it is so small that i can't see it and i certainly can't feel it, and yet on the screen you can see how it is already gorging itself on my blood and its fluorescent green colour has changed to bright red. so far the major effect is a slight edge for me and one happy bedbugs. hugh schofield, bbc news, marseille. hugh schofield, bbc news, marseille. hugh schofield going above and beyond for the call of duty, having a bad back on his arm. a pay rise for him for sure. you are more watching bbc news. plenty more coming up. hello. a lot of cloud across the uk today and rain—bearing

cloud across scotland. it's already been wet here and further pulses of rain in the next few days are forecast. the south of the country is a little bit brighter, warmer to highs of around 19 in london, 18 in liverpool. but here where we have the weather front, you can see wet south of the lowlands and in the north of scotland, fresher with some showers. now, here's the forecast for tonight. another area of low pressure is sweeping in. the winds are starting to blow in from the southwest, so that means mild conditions spreading across the uk. 12 in plymouth, about that in liverpool and belfast. but the other side of the weather front in the north of scotland, it's still chilly and here is that low pressure with the wet weather moving to north western parts of the country. the high pressure centred across western europe. that's the beginning of a warmer settled spell of weather across the south. but you can see the extent of the cloud and the rain through thursday. so many of us are in for some damp conditions, but it will be relatively mild despite the clouds, the damp weather and the breeze. 17 there in belfast and probably

nudging up to close to 20 degrees celsius there in the south. so that's thursday evening. let's have a look at the forecast then as we head towards the end of the week. and again, more weather fronts in the northwest, more outbreaks of rain there heading to western scotland. you can see it spreading across the southern uplands, the lakes as well. here we'll see temperatures nudging up to about 20 or 22 degrees celsius northerly, though, in the northern isles, so only around i2to11i. then saturday into sunday, a low pressure out in the atlantic. southerly winds developing across western parts of europe, an area of high pressure and rising temperatures. so i think it could be 25 or 26 in london, 20 in newcastle. but it's still fresh there in the north of scotland, only around 12 celsius, which is actually close to the daytime average for early october. but look at that. in the south, we'll be

getting around 25 or six. the average is closer to 16. and take a look at this outlook for cardiff. for london, temperatures well into the 20s. belfast also could exceed 20 degrees celsius this weekend. that's it for me. bye— bye.
