And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. | :00:00. | :00:16. | |

Jonathan Rivers, from the Wyvern Media Group in Ddrby | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
was among ten people sentenced for the scam that prompted | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The man at the centre of wh`t the court heard were | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
55-year-old Jonathan Rivers from Coleshill in Birminghal | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
was the owner of publishing company Wyvern Media Group, based in Derby. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
He is believed to have earndd ?1.7 million between 2007-2012. | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
Under his direction, employees focused on cold c`lling | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
small firms to sell advertising space in its publications, | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
like these, which were poor quality, mainly made up of adverts | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Staff misled customers into thinking the publications would be promoted | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
at high-profile events or that they'd won awards that they'd need | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
to pay to receive along with the associated advertising space. | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Unauthorised withdrawals were also made from customers' accounts. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
What they'd do on occasions when people made complaints | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
is they would then threaten those individuals with legal action. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Indeed, on occasions, they sought to take individtals | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
through the County Court to recover the money they thought | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Over 500 people complained to Trading Standards | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
One of them was this Uta Patterson from Shropshire who owned a dog | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
rescue centre and died of ltng cancer last year. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
She lost over ?5,000 to the company, whom bombarded her with calls. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
She just said she wasn't hungry or... | :01:56. | :02:08. | |
But that affected her a lot, not being to sleep. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
In total, ten people were sentenced today, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
all of whom pleaded guilty to their part in the fraud. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Five were given jail terms ranging from six years to 16 months. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The remaining five received suspended prison sentences, | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
ranging from two years to three months. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
They were not happy to talk to the media as they left court | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
this afternoon but one of them did apologise for her role. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
I am very sorry, and I regrdt everything about everything. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
The man accused of killing Derbyshire backpacker | :02:46. | :02:51. | |

The overnight closure of Grantham's A could continue. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Despite local opposition, the unit has been shutting hts doors | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
When it started in summer, it was meant to be a trial. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |

A former care worker's been jailed for sexual activity | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Robert Roberts from Sutton in Ashfield, here on the right, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |

They took place in 2014 at the Millbrook Mental Health Unit, | :03:37. | :03:39. | |

An exhibition is bringing b`ck memories of a firm that oncd | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
The British Shoe Corporation had once been at the heart | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
of the country's shoe industry, distributing millions | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
If you bought a pair of shoes in the 1980s, | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
there's a good chance they came from here. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
This is British Shoe Corpor`tion's distribution site in Leicester, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
filmed at its height, when around 2 million pairs | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
of shoes arrived most weeks, destined for hundreds | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
The British Shoe Corporation was a very importnat | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
company to Leicester, probably one of the biggest employers, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
maybe the biggest companies, 2,500 people would actually | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
The building had a floor arda of 1 million square feet, | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
the equivalent of 11 football pitches. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
It was the largest single-storey warehouse in Europe. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
The warehouse closed in 1998, and, as you can see, | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
the site is being bulldozed to make way for a new development. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
He worked for the company for 3 years and had the emotional job | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
You closed the door, you looked through and you could see | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
an empty warehouse, a very empty feeling. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
But, this week, a chance to remember happier times. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
This display in Leicester charts the corporation's history. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
It's attracted hundreds of former workers. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
It's open for the final time tomorrow. | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
We're hearing tonight about an industrial fire | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
It's at the Boughton Industrial Estate near Ollerton. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
The fire service advises anxone living nearby to keep | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
doors and windows closed, as smoke may contain traces | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Nottingham's unveiled plans for how the city might mark | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
2018 will be 100 years since fighting stopped | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Proposals up for considerathon include a new statue | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
in Nottingham's memorial gardens, and projecting the names | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
of Nottinghamshire's 14,000 fallen soldiers onto the existing war | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
memorial to create the city's own Menin Gate. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Everyone deserves a place in history. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
But, for the past century, many of these stories have remained | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
submerged on memorials, in `rchives, in people's private collecthons | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
So we think it would be a fhtting climax to that process to project | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
the entire list onto this mdmorial which, for nearly a century, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
has commemorated the Great War loss without the names appearing on it. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
More from me tomorrow, but Kaye's here right now. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
It is looking a bit dull but at least it's quite. It has bedn dried | :06:32. | :06:45. | |
today and mild but we have had a lot of cloud in the sky. It's bden very | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Drewery for much of the aftdrnoon and little change through the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
weekend. We stay dry and mild, not much in the way of sunshine. With | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
light winds, we will see sole mist and fog through the nights. Maybe a | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
spot or two of rain through the night but it's mostly dry. We will | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
see some mist and fog forming in the early hours of the morning but it is | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
a very mild night with a minimum of 13. It is a grey start the weekend. | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
But fog could be slow to cldar but it will lift up to the low cloud. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
You'll be lucky to get some brightness but we are drier and mild | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
with temperatures up to 15. But is it from us. I'll leave you with the | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
outlook for the to come into the beginning of next | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
week as well. Now the national picture. | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Hello, it's been a pretty good week for getting out and enjoying the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
autumn colours, especially if you have seen autumn sunshine. What | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
sunshine, | :07:50. | :07:50. |
