Good afternoon, Monday lunchtime is when we round up our main headlines from the weekend. Intruders risking their lives are suspected of causing the St Joseph's Orphanage blaze which took 10 fire crews to put out.

Demolition work is scheduled to start today. A second fire in Preston city centre in less that 24 hours saw smoke billowing from the former Odeon Cinema on Church Street. A fire brigade spokesman said the fire is being treated as suspicious.
