In Look East Blacks goes into administration, but is then

:00:10.:00:15.

promptly bought by JD Sports. What does it mean for jobs at their HQ?

:00:15.:00:20.

Hello and welcome to Look East. Also tonight. A pilot dies after a

:00:20.:00:25.

helicopter crashes in to the fens. It is a cup weekend but the

:00:25.:00:30.

headbutt row goes on Who says cheats don't prosper. He has conned

:00:30.:00:36.

everybody there. He is my play ever and he is not a cheat. And Mason's

:00:36.:00:41.

magic. Why this seven-year-old has form his own charity. -- formed his

:00:41.:00:51.
:00:51.:00:53.

own charity. Good evening. First tonight more bad news from the high

:00:53.:00:58.

street at another big name goes into administration, and then gets

:00:58.:01:03.

snapped up. Blacks Leisure is based in Northampton, it has 98 stores

:01:03.:01:09.

across the country and it owns the Millets brand, with another 208

:01:09.:01:13.

shops nationwide. Tonight, JD Sports announced it bought the

:01:13.:01:17.

company's assets. In a moment Mike Liggens reports on the competitors

:01:17.:01:21.

who says they have been beating Blacks at their own game. First we

:01:21.:01:28.

talk to staff at the Northampton HQ It is headquarters and warehouse. A

:01:28.:01:35.

massive building. At the heart of a company with massive debts. Inside,

:01:35.:01:39.

the chief executive, Julia Reynolds, unable to speak on camera, but new

:01:39.:01:43.

owners for a company she described as hobbleling and crippled is good

:01:44.:01:48.

news she told us. Other workers who spoke to us were up beatment

:01:48.:01:52.

think we are all hoping for the best, we are all positive about the

:01:52.:01:56.

future and the products, so we are certainly going to give it the best

:01:56.:02:00.

shot. We have been working on really great projects. For us, it

:02:00.:02:05.

is about moving front the bad times, and moving forward, positively. JD

:02:05.:02:12.

Sports have emerged as their new owner. Taking over 306 shops and

:02:12.:02:17.

3,500 workers. A deal that will see 36 million pounds worth of debt

:02:17.:02:20.

virtually wiped outment there will be changes here. It is thought this

:02:20.:02:27.

place is too big, it costs millions in rent and wages. Round 400 people

:02:27.:02:31.

work here. If there are job losses it is likely most of those will be

:02:31.:02:36.

here. I don't think any economy can take a hit of 400 jobs without

:02:36.:02:40.

reeling a bit. But we need to see that in the context of the job

:02:40.:02:46.

creation in Northampton, which is going ahead in leaps and bounds.

:02:46.:02:51.

Its business, tent, boots anything for the great outdoors. A market

:02:51.:02:56.

leader that has fallen behind. have inflation at 4 or 5%. Fuel

:02:56.:03:00.

bills they are having to cope w and there is a lack of confidence, I

:03:01.:03:03.

think, in the current environment, because people just don't foe what

:03:03.:03:08.

is going to happen. There is bad news stories every day and that is

:03:08.:03:11.

making people wary of spending money they haven't got. It is a

:03:11.:03:16.

company that in one form or another has been based in Northamptonshire

:03:16.:03:24.

since the '70s. One of our big companies. Going through big change.

:03:24.:03:29.

So, why is Blacks in trouble? One reason, a number of new competitors.

:03:29.:03:39.
:03:39.:03:41.

Mike Liggens has been talking to Go outdoors and Mountain Warehouse. Go

:03:41.:03:45.

Outdoors have five stores in the east at Basildon, Bedford,

:03:45.:03:48.

Colchester Harlow and here in Norwich. It is a company which has

:03:48.:03:53.

grown rapidly overing ten stores in the last 12 months. So, what is the

:03:53.:03:58.

recipe for success? It is a couple of things. The size of the stores.

:03:58.:04:03.

We are out-of-town stores and means we can offer a bigger range, free

:04:03.:04:07.

parking, we can display tents that we sell. Fishing gear, climbing

:04:07.:04:12.

gear, bike, everything outdoors and they say it is all ant listening to

:04:12.:04:15.

what the customer wants. When you come to a store like this what are

:04:16.:04:21.

you most interested in, price, quality? Definitely price at the

:04:21.:04:27.

moment. And quality, but also to see the stock they have here, as

:04:27.:04:33.

well. The quality, the goods and etc, we don't go for cheep stuff.

:04:33.:04:38.

You have lots of choice they have most things covered in here. Blacks

:04:38.:04:41.

have simply struggled to stay with the competition. What has happened

:04:41.:04:49.

is they have been squeezed from two different directions. From up

:04:49.:04:54.

market operators like Cotswold, but also from firms like Mountain

:04:55.:04:59.

Warehouse, who are offering value for money. Mountain Warehouse have

:04:59.:05:06.

12 stores in the east, from Bedford to Braintree and bury saint ed

:05:06.:05:11.

mounds, they don't sell the big names, just family friendly own

:05:11.:05:15.

brands. They too have expanded rapidly, opening new stores in they

:05:15.:05:21.

say good locations. We opened our doors in September, it has been

:05:21.:05:25.

slow process but people now we are here, it is fantastic. Trade at

:05:25.:05:29.

Christmas was amazing. Mountain Warehouse claims to have double its

:05:29.:05:34.

internet business in the last 12 months. But none of the rivals are

:05:34.:05:38.

taking pleasure in Blacks current difficulties. They know it is tough

:05:38.:05:45.

and the fight for business is fierce. Meanwhile there is news

:05:45.:05:49.

tonight that another company in trouble could soon be rescued. The

:05:49.:05:54.

Suffolk based retailers Hawkin's Bazaar went into administration on

:05:54.:05:58.

December 30th. More than 300 jobs have gone, and 40 stores are still

:05:58.:06:02.

closed. But tonight, the administrator told Look East that a

:06:02.:06:08.

buyer could step in as soon as next week. It's the January sale the

:06:08.:06:11.

staff never expected to hole. Today this store is still trading,

:06:11.:06:15.

selling what it calls the things you thought had gone forever, and

:06:15.:06:19.

those you never knew existed. a shop I have never been into.

:06:19.:06:24.

Don't know what it does. It is bad in way because it is a sudden shock

:06:24.:06:28.

and they did nice bitss for kids. love nit there. I hope they don't

:06:28.:06:35.

go. It is fun. In 2006 the company's parent group sold a 50%

:06:35.:06:43.

stake in the company. The buyer had plans to expand it to 100 stores in

:06:43.:06:48.

five years. It achieved 65, 40 of those have now been closed. More

:06:48.:06:52.

than 300 workers made run dent and there is concern local businesses

:06:52.:06:56.

will be affected too There is a lot of support businesss that do work

:06:56.:07:02.

there, we have one of the local cafes supplies sandwiches and does

:07:02.:07:06.

buffet, there is lebgtrilings tritions and cleaners so it will

:07:06.:07:10.

have a knock-on effect. And the owner at one particular business

:07:10.:07:14.

here who didn't want to go on camera believes he's will be out-

:07:14.:07:20.

of-pocket by nearly �80,000. He fears too that he will have to make

:07:20.:07:23.

job cuts. Tonight administrators say there is keen interest in the

:07:23.:07:28.

company. A new buyer could be announced next week. I doesn't mean

:07:28.:07:31.

the staff will be re-employed but there is hope the company could

:07:31.:07:40.

survive in some form. Our business correspondent is here, so why is

:07:40.:07:44.

there so much bad news on the high street now? If you are a struggling

:07:44.:07:47.

retailer New Year can be crunch time, because you have taken in

:07:47.:07:52.

money over Christmas, but big bills come due about now, for example

:07:52.:07:57.

quarterly rent, on your buildings, VAT to the Government, and if you

:07:57.:08:01.

simply haven't got the money, you can't carry on, and I think we know

:08:01.:08:05.

that the outlook for consumer spending this year is pretty grim,

:08:05.:08:09.

and some retailers are throwing in the towel. Coming back to JD Sports,

:08:09.:08:13.

their assets have been, sorry, to Blacks, their assets have been

:08:13.:08:16.

bought by JD Sports but they haven't bought the company as such,

:08:16.:08:21.

have they? JD, it looks like will take on 300 stores which form

:08:21.:08:25.

Blacks and Millets. I should explain this deal has been done

:08:25.:08:30.

under a prepack administration. Prepack is where you agree a sale

:08:31.:08:34.

before the administrator is appointed. The advantage is it

:08:34.:08:38.

tends to minimise job losses, because there is less disruption to

:08:38.:08:43.

the business than with a tradition alcollapse. The down side is that

:08:43.:08:47.

creditors tend to lose out big time. We have heard from the report that

:08:47.:08:51.

it looks like the majority of Blacks debt of �36 million will be

:08:51.:08:56.

wiped out, so that is bad news, if you are owed money by Blacks. I

:08:56.:09:01.

think another big question is what happens to the Northampton

:09:02.:09:05.

headquarters, the fact is JD's headquarters are elsewhere. Thank

:09:05.:09:11.

you. A man has died following a helicopter crash near Ely, an

:09:11.:09:15.

eyewitness saw it go down in an industrial estate in Witchford just

:09:15.:09:24.

before midday. Just before 11.30 this morning, a helicopter came

:09:24.:09:29.

crashing down, in the fields just behind me here. Now emergency

:09:29.:09:32.

services have been on the scene, all day, you can probably see the

:09:32.:09:36.

police behind me. We haven't been allowed oin to the scene and there

:09:36.:09:40.

is two reasons, first there were concerns about safety, because

:09:40.:09:43.

petrol was look leaking from the helicopter and the police were

:09:43.:09:47.

concerned about safety. Second of all the field is covered in debris

:09:47.:09:50.

from the crash and the air accident investigation team will have to

:09:50.:09:55.

examine that to determine how and why this crash happened. With me is

:09:55.:09:58.

Pat master son who saw the crash happen. Pat, you were out walking

:09:58.:10:02.

your dog, tell me what you saw. was walking the dog along the side

:10:02.:10:07.

of the airfield. I was aware there was a helicopter above me which is

:10:07.:10:11.

not unusual, carried on walk, all of a sudden it seemed to backfire,

:10:11.:10:16.

and then as I looked up the engine seemed to explode or go bang and

:10:17.:10:20.

basically it plummeted out the sky. I thought it was going to come down

:10:20.:10:24.

on myself and my dog so I was scrambling out of o the way. It

:10:24.:10:29.

came down and I was waiting for it to explode. It didn't when it hit

:10:29.:10:35.

the ground. I ran to it as quickly as I could. It was about 150 yards

:10:35.:10:40.

away. A very strong smell of petrol or diesel there. It was a traumatic

:10:40.:10:44.

scene, and it was very evident that the chap that was in it was

:10:44.:10:48.

deceased. Very sad indeed. I will have to leave it there police say

:10:48.:10:52.

the pilot is from Kent. His family has been involved but -- informled

:10:52.:10:56.

but they are not naming him yet. Later in the programme. A look

:10:56.:11:01.

ahead to the weekend's FA Cup fixtures. And meet Mason Fountain,

:11:01.:11:05.

a seven-year-old with a brain tumour, who is busy setting up his

:11:05.:11:15.

own charity. The police in nor toke still haven't been able to identify

:11:15.:11:19.

a body found on the Sandringham estate. A murder investigation

:11:19.:11:22.

began after human remains were discovered near the village of

:11:22.:11:26.

Anmer on New Year's Day. Further tests are taking place this weekend.

:11:26.:11:30.

When police arranged the press conference they had been hoping to

:11:30.:11:33.

provide positive new information on the murder victim. But last night,

:11:33.:11:38.

news from the lab, the latest tests on samples from the remains had not

:11:38.:11:43.

revealed a usable DNA profile. scientists have double checked the

:11:44.:11:48.

processes but due to decomposition the DNA in the samples aren't

:11:48.:11:52.

available. We are going to a different process that will take

:11:52.:11:57.

longer but we are confident that that will provide a full profile.

:11:57.:12:01.

Detailed searches round the copse where a dog walker discovered the

:12:01.:12:06.

remains have been continuing. The search has been joined by anent

:12:06.:12:13.

moll gist. The movement of insects helping determine when the body was

:12:13.:12:17.

deposited here. The postmortem established it was a whie white

:12:17.:12:20.

female. The police say they want to identify people working in the area

:12:20.:12:23.

round the time, and have contacted the Queen's estate manager about

:12:23.:12:28.

events held in the area between the end of August and the end of

:12:28.:12:33.

September. The latest tests carried out are on a femur bone, a leg bone

:12:33.:12:37.

found at the site at Sandringham. Police are hoping if the tests go

:12:37.:12:42.

well they will have a positive Sam. Their hands by Monday. Then the

:12:42.:12:46.

real detective work starts vie area that DNA base or contacting the

:12:46.:12:50.

families of missing young women to find out who the victim was. At the

:12:50.:12:56.

moment we don't know her name, or how she died. The police say they

:12:56.:13:04.

are making progress. An American debt collection agency has been

:13:04.:13:08.

called in to chase library fines in Essex. The County Council says

:13:09.:13:11.

Unique Management Services will focus on people with fines of more

:13:11.:13:16.

than �20. It will be a three month trial. A row is brewing over a

:13:16.:13:20.

website which aims to help commuters claim compensation for

:13:20.:13:25.

train delays. Called SnailRail, it has been launched by a couple from

:13:25.:13:29.

Essex for routes operating by National Express East Anglia.

:13:29.:13:33.

National Express says it won't accept claims from what it calls

:13:33.:13:38.

third party websites but it says some claim refunds by e-mail.

:13:38.:13:41.

Martin works at a project manager in construction and has commuted to

:13:41.:13:47.

London for the best part of 30 years. An ex es he has ex pr

:13:47.:13:52.

experienced hold ups why is why he and his wife have created SnailRail.

:13:52.:13:57.

We needed a name that was simple, but also relevant, because although

:13:57.:14:03.

we have nothing do with snails they tend to be slow. We found out there

:14:03.:14:08.

is eight million delays on National Express East Anglia routes per

:14:08.:14:13.

annum. The couple from Colchester spend several thousands of pounds

:14:13.:14:20.

creating the site. People put their details on the system and when they

:14:20.:14:27.

are delayed they make a claim. Users pay 25 pence on top of the

:14:27.:14:31.

cost of the message. A spokesman for National Express said in a

:14:31.:14:41.
:14:41.:14:48.

I am sure there will be some discussion about it, but we are

:14:48.:14:52.

providing a service. You get into work, you doesn't have time to fill

:14:52.:14:56.

in a paper form, put it in a envelope, put it in the post. This

:14:56.:15:00.

is the easiest way to claim for delays. National Express does

:15:00.:15:05.

accept some claims via e-mail but most come via free post so there is

:15:05.:15:09.

no cost to the traveller and are processed within days. The Dutch

:15:09.:15:14.

firm will take over as the operator of the route, under a new tran

:15:14.:15:19.

chies. The couple say they have yet to get its reaction to the

:15:19.:15:24.

SnailRail plan. More than 6,000 naives have been taken off the

:15:24.:15:29.

streets of Suffolk in the past year. The BBC Radio Suffolk Bin A Blade

:15:29.:15:33.

campaign was inspired by Holly Watson, whose brother Lewis was

:15:33.:15:36.

stabbed to death in 2009. The weapons were placed into special

:15:36.:15:42.

secure bins. Do you remember this house in Chelmsford being sold off

:15:42.:15:46.

cheap because it was covered in Ivy? Today it had a trim and has a

:15:46.:15:53.

different look. It has been bought been aEssex-based businessman who

:15:53.:15:59.

faces hefty renovation bills. It is believed it took workers more than

:15:59.:16:03.

a week to clear The Ivy from the property. Hundreds of lives could

:16:03.:16:08.

be saved across the region thanks to a group of bikers. Volunteer

:16:08.:16:12.

motorcyclists take to the roads each night delivering blood for a

:16:12.:16:17.

charity saving hospitals thousands of pounds. And now it has expanded.

:16:17.:16:22.

It is the most technically advanced bloond bank in the country. They

:16:22.:16:26.

use 10,000 units at this hospital a year. But it similar possible to

:16:26.:16:31.

predict exactly how much they will need. We can survive on our

:16:31.:16:34.

bloodstocks but there are times especially when we have Major

:16:35.:16:39.

Incident Teams, that we can run low on blood. When we notice we are

:16:39.:16:43.

running low we need to top up quickly. If we don't have that

:16:43.:16:46.

facility, then patients are going to suffering so it is a vital

:16:46.:16:51.

service. Here are those that make it all possible. Brett Jones works

:16:51.:16:55.

in IT and is from Chelmsford. Ronnie from Peterborough is a come

:16:55.:17:00.

puegt consultant and Roger is a retired engineer from Letchworth.

:17:00.:17:05.

wanted to do, put something back in to society. I remember when this

:17:06.:17:11.

first started up, back in the 60s, when I was a young lad, and I

:17:11.:17:16.

thought then, I wouldn't mind doing it. Get to ride the bikes. We were

:17:16.:17:19.

called by Ipswich hospital and they had run out of blood in the

:17:19.:17:23.

hospital because of a major bleed they had, so we had to relay with

:17:23.:17:28.

the Essex blood runners and bring in three more boxs to make a

:17:28.:17:33.

stockpile. Had they run out again, they wouldn't have had any blood to

:17:33.:17:38.

look their patients. Each delivery saves hospitals �50. They defend

:17:38.:17:42.

using charity saying as blood is given for free, it makes sense for

:17:42.:17:46.

it to be delivered for free. Bikers say they are just pleased to help

:17:46.:17:56.
:17:56.:17:59.

out. Rugby now and tonight is the last chance for Northampton's

:17:59.:18:03.

players to impress England's coaching staff before they announce

:18:03.:18:09.

their squads for the Six Nations. Tonight, the Saints play Harlequins.

:18:09.:18:13.

It is a big footballing weekend with the Third Round of the FA Cup.

:18:13.:18:20.

With a look ahead to both, here is James. Warm welcome to Franklin's

:18:20.:18:25.

gardens. It is not just first against third in the Premiership.

:18:25.:18:31.

We reckon there could be as many 16-23 players who are vying to get

:18:31.:18:35.

into the England squad. We will have more in a short while. Let us

:18:35.:18:39.

talk about the Third Round of the FA Cup. Two of our teams across the

:18:39.:18:42.

weekend will be playing Premier League opposition. Today the

:18:43.:18:47.

Norwich boss Paul Lambert has been involved in a spat with Neil

:18:47.:18:52.

Warnock. All centred after the match last Monday. Tom Williams has

:18:52.:18:58.

the details. It is the story that won't go away. And the referee has

:18:58.:19:03.

given Joey Warton a red card. There is a suggestion of use of the head

:19:03.:19:08.

by him and it is there. Who says cheats don't prosper? I think

:19:08.:19:14.

Bradley conned everybody there. The FA dismissed QPR's appeal. The red

:19:14.:19:18.

card stands, along with the three match ban. The incident was still

:19:18.:19:23.

the main focus of attention this morning at a press conference, the

:19:23.:19:27.

Norwich boss leapt to Bradley Johnson's defence. He is my player

:19:27.:19:32.

and he is not a cheat. If you are going to label somebody that have

:19:32.:19:36.

some substance, he is not a cheat. I don't think it is a full blooded

:19:36.:19:42.

headbutt but you went face to face with the somebody that, is not the

:19:42.:19:47.

issue, the issue is the comments after. After beating QPR Norwich

:19:48.:19:57.

have a home tie the Burnley. The boss was sent to the stands after

:19:57.:20:02.

entering the field of play. The Dons were forced to train inside

:20:02.:20:08.

due to the weather to prepare for their game with QPR. We are in a

:20:08.:20:13.

good form, we are cleaning a clean sheet. We are looking forward to

:20:13.:20:18.

challenging them. It will be the Premier League stars of Sunderland

:20:18.:20:24.

making this walk. Peterborough facing one of the centreest tests

:20:24.:20:27.

against Sunderland. They are working for one another. Added to

:20:27.:20:32.

the ability they already have, you know, it is a dangerous tool. Maybe

:20:32.:20:37.

in a way it is better they are in that form. It makes us more

:20:37.:20:40.

charity gave him the chance to meet N-Dubz he decided he wants to help

other sick children so he set up his own children called Mason's

being a strong boy. Wish you health and happiness. I settle up the

charity to make other children happy and make them smile. We set

up the Twitter account for the charity and it went crazy, we we

were so lucky with the followers and the support from the celebs and

like Kirk from the only way is Essex. Gordon Ramsay, the Ipswich

Town player, and it is just great to have them supporting us as well.

Mason wants to raise �5,000 in total. He has this message for

other sick children. Keep positive, and if I can do it then you can.

And there isn't nothing to be worried about. What a special boy.

Any more wind this weekend? A little tomorrow but nothing like it

:25:17.:25:20.

has been. Much calmer conditions across the region today. Quite a

:25:20.:25:24.

bit of sunshine, but we have had a weather front approaching from the

:25:24.:25:29.

west, and that is turning things cloudy, already as you can see from

:25:29.:25:32.

this animation on the satellite chart. Eventually that cloud could

:25:32.:25:36.

produce the odd spot of patchy light rain or drizzle and it's the

:25:36.:25:40.

first part of the night that gets colder. Expect temperatures to fall

:25:40.:25:45.

to about 4C at their lower, and mainly westerly winds light to

:25:45.:25:47.

moderate in strength. For the second half of the might the

:25:47.:25:53.

temperatures will lift and the wind speed will freshen. It will turn to

:25:53.:25:57.

a North Westly direction. So, the weekend brings us fairly settled

:25:57.:26:01.

conditions. It is a mainly dry story with sunny spells. A bit of

:26:01.:26:05.

cloud to clear first thing, particularly parts of Essex might

:26:05.:26:10.

have the odd spot of light rain to start W we should see plenty of

:26:10.:26:14.

sunshine across the region and temperatures will peak at 8C. It

:26:14.:26:19.

will be fairly breezy tomorrow, we will have a moderate to fresh wind,

:26:19.:26:23.

so windier conditions than today. But it should stay dry and

:26:23.:26:28.

therefore the afternoon we will see more sunshine. Looking ahead this

:26:28.:26:31.

settled weather is caused by a ridge of high pressure that is

:26:31.:26:36.

building from the south-west, and what it is tending to co-is it is

:26:36.:26:39.

forcing the activity on those fronts to the north of us. If we

:26:39.:26:44.

look to Wednesday you will see we still have high pressure across us,

:26:44.:26:48.

so it should stay settled. So there will be varying ams of sunshine.

:26:48.:26:52.

Temperatures above normal for this time of year. A little breezy

:26:52.:26:58.

tomorrow but lighter wind. If we bring up the overnight lows the

:26:58.:27:03.

nights to watch out for are Saturday, down 3C. 2 on Monday. So

:27:03.:27:07.

that could bring the risk of a touch of ground frost. As you see,

:27:07.:27:11.

most of the days should be dry. Where there is a cloud we might get

:27:11.:27:16.

the odd spot or two of rain but mainly dry. Last night couldn't
