Hello, welcome to Look East. Coming up in the programme tonight: A boost

:00:09.:00:15.

for business or bad for the environment. A month after their

:00:16.:00:20.

launch, flights are leaving Cambridge International Airport with

:00:21.:00:23.

as few as four passengers. That and the rest of the top stories now

:00:24.:00:30.

The crash that almost killed a 21`year`old man, today a lorry

:00:31.:00:33.

driver pleads not guilty to dangerous driving.

:00:34.:00:37.

Generation inspiration, how Dame Kelly wants sports to help young

:00:38.:00:42.

people back into work or education. And inappropriate for Armistice Day,

:00:43.:00:46.

why some veterans say they will not use this Milton Keynes Memorial

:00:47.:00:56.

Good evening. First tonight, they were meant to boost the region's

:00:57.:01:04.

economy but the BBC has learned that some flights are leaving Cambridge

:01:05.:01:07.

International Airport with fewer than five passengers on board. It

:01:08.:01:11.

has been a month since the high`profile sermons were launched.

:01:12.:01:15.

The planes will hold 50 people but on average, each flight to Amsterdam

:01:16.:01:20.

had around 12 passengers on board, flights to Geneva carried 11 people,

:01:21.:01:24.

to Milan it was ten and just four passengers used each plane to Paris.

:01:25.:01:28.

We'll be hearing from the airport in a moment that first this report

:01:29.:01:36.

And Kharkov water, the traditional way and airport welcomes its new

:01:37.:01:41.

airline. Four new destinations turned Cambridge Airport

:01:42.:01:47.

International. Darwin operate 5 flights out of Cambridge every

:01:48.:01:51.

month, the aircraft hold 50 passengers. The total number of

:01:52.:01:56.

flights for September, they were one fifth full. Are they disappointed?

:01:57.:02:01.

We are delighted the way we started the service. When you start a

:02:02.:02:06.

brand`new route and a new outbound destination like Cambridge, you hope

:02:07.:02:11.

to start from a 0`based so we had to start publicising them from the

:02:12.:02:14.

beginning, getting the message out there and we have seen the sale

:02:15.:02:20.

numbers go from a few hundred per week to around 600 per week now You

:02:21.:02:24.

can also fly to the same four destinations with the typical

:02:25.:02:28.

ticket, Cambridge 's is more expensive to three of them but to

:02:29.:02:33.

Geneva it is cheaper. Stansted and Luton but do people know that you

:02:34.:02:36.

can fly to the constant from Cambridge?

:02:37.:02:40.

Have you considered flying out of Cambridge? Not really. Heathrow is

:02:41.:02:47.

such a long way, but Stansted is great. Should more people use it?

:02:48.:02:54.

Yes, many more. I might use in the next couple of years but not at the

:02:55.:02:58.

moment. green campaigners say we need more passengers flying from

:02:59.:03:03.

local airports. If we are having trouble, I would prefer people to go

:03:04.:03:08.

from local airports in small planes to where they want to go rather than

:03:09.:03:13.

people clogging up Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and demanding new

:03:14.:03:18.

runways and more environmental damage. The aircraft are far from

:03:19.:03:24.

full but in time, the airport says more passengers will fly from here.

:03:25.:03:30.

Well, David Surley is in charge of business and new routes for the

:03:31.:03:35.

airport and joins us now. We hear that you are confident that

:03:36.:03:39.

passenger numbers will increase but it seems not enough people know that

:03:40.:03:43.

you offer these flights. Are you on price comparison websites yet? Yes,

:03:44.:03:51.

we are on a wide selection of online booking platforms. The airline,

:03:52.:03:55.

Darwin, distributes fares across a huge number of websites worldwide.

:03:56.:04:05.

It is taking a while for passenger numbers to pick up, Lodz and of

:04:06.:04:09.

course already offers these destinations and they are cheaper

:04:10.:04:12.

than yourselves apart from special offers, can you really compete? Yes,

:04:13.:04:20.

I think we absolutely can. The airline has seen a sharp take`up in

:04:21.:04:24.

sales looking forward. We are really pleased with forward sales and there

:04:25.:04:27.

are some fantastic bargains to be had out there. Just this week, the

:04:28.:04:32.

airline has been marketing in conjunction with Air France, new

:04:33.:04:35.

first of the United States and destinations around the world at

:04:36.:04:40.

extremely competitive prices. Sue you are pleased with these routes

:04:41.:04:43.

enough that you might introduce more? We absolutely hope so and we

:04:44.:04:51.

are focused on making sure that these flights work really well. We

:04:52.:04:54.

are working with the travel trade, with partners far and wide but we

:04:55.:05:00.

would love to see a destination or two more added in the future. The

:05:01.:05:05.

Green party likes the idea of people flying from local airports. Aside

:05:06.:05:10.

from that, what are the advantages? It is convenient and that is what

:05:11.:05:15.

Cambridge passengers are finding. Short check`in times so you can

:05:16.:05:18.

check in 45 minutes before your flight. We do not charge from drop

:05:19.:05:23.

off or pick up in our car park outside the terminal so it is

:05:24.:05:26.

thoroughly convenient through and through and it is a small, compact

:05:27.:05:31.

space. Passengers are loving it Positive feedback. David Surley

:05:32.:05:36.

thank you for joining us. A Dutch lorry driver has pleaded not

:05:37.:05:40.

guilty to dangerous driving after he crashed into the back of a broken

:05:41.:05:43.

down car. The 21`year`old driver was seriously injured in the accident

:05:44.:05:50.

near Milton Keynes back in June Milton Keynes magistrates heard that

:05:51.:05:56.

30`year`old Dutch driver has been driving lorries for around nine

:05:57.:06:01.

years in the UK. On the 10th of June this year, he was driving a 44 tonne

:06:02.:06:07.

Volvo lorry on the Stoke Hammond bypass near Milton Keynes. Just

:06:08.:06:11.

after 6pm, he crashed into the back of a Ford Fiesta which had broken

:06:12.:06:16.

down in one lane of the dual lane carriageway. The driver, a

:06:17.:06:21.

21`year`old from Dunstable was still inside and was seriously injured in

:06:22.:06:25.

the impact. He was flown to hospital with head injuries. The court heard

:06:26.:06:30.

that Mr Noble was driving at a constant speed of 56 mph. The speed

:06:31.:06:34.

limit for lorries on dual carriageways. But on seeing the

:06:35.:06:38.

broken down car, he did not take avoiding action. The Dutch lorry

:06:39.:06:41.

driver denies one charge of dangerous driving and was given

:06:42.:06:47.

unconditional bail and now will face trial at Aylesbury Crown Court at a

:06:48.:06:49.

date to be fixed. Two men from Northampton have

:06:50.:06:59.

appeared in court charged with the murder of Jamie McMahon. His body

:07:00.:07:02.

was found on the grounds of Saint Charles Church in the town centre

:07:03.:07:06.

earlier this month. Michael Francis and Mark Lewis were remanded in

:07:07.:07:09.

custody, they are also both accused of robbery. `` Saint Giles Church.

:07:10.:07:16.

Investigations are taking place into the death of a 63`year`old man who

:07:17.:07:20.

was found at an address in Luton this afternoon. Bedfordshire police

:07:21.:07:24.

were called by an ambulance crew who had been sent to an incident in

:07:25.:07:27.

Carnegie Gardens just after two o'clock. The man died shortly

:07:28.:07:31.

afterwards. Police are appealing for information.

:07:32.:07:36.

Cambridge is home to many high`tech businesses, some of them just

:07:37.:07:40.

starting out. But it seems some of the entrepreneurs behind them are no

:07:41.:07:43.

longer relying on big investors like banks. Instead, they are raising

:07:44.:07:49.

money through news sites like Crowdcube offering anybody the

:07:50.:07:52.

chance to own a share of the company by investing as little as ?10.

:07:53.:07:59.

I will offer you all the money for a 35% stake. Fantastic. Backing a new

:08:00.:08:06.

business, exciting stuff if you can afford it. But you don't need to be

:08:07.:08:12.

a millionaire to be a dragon. You can do it without even leaving your

:08:13.:08:15.

server through sites like this. You find a company and choose to invest

:08:16.:08:19.

as much or as little as you want. Some of Cambridge's newest medical

:08:20.:08:22.

and technology company as using it to attract the so`called armchair

:08:23.:08:28.

dragons. Investors like Thomastown, a researcher in Cambridge who

:08:29.:08:32.

invested in a company that makes tools for scientists with a stake of

:08:33.:08:38.

?250 he declared that he was in `` Thomas time. I would love to see a

:08:39.:08:47.

Cambridge company prosper. But it is guided by the chances of getting a

:08:48.:08:53.

decent return. Of course, he had never met the entrepreneur behind

:08:54.:08:57.

the business so we brought them together. Michael's company raised

:08:58.:09:01.

more than ?250,000 from 100 different investors. It allows them

:09:02.:09:06.

to access early`stage companies which only high net worth

:09:07.:09:10.

individuals like venture capitalists were able to do. The process has

:09:11.:09:17.

been relatively painless in terms of the whole process and how quickly we

:09:18.:09:21.

were able to raise funds so it has been a positive experience for us.

:09:22.:09:26.

Like all types of investment, armchair dragons like Thomas are

:09:27.:09:29.

risking their own money so in this case, does he feel he made a wise

:09:30.:09:34.

choice? I am confident that my investment is in good hands. And I

:09:35.:09:38.

look forward to seeing how to put the money into good use and see how

:09:39.:09:45.

they use it. The question now is what will his next investment there?

:09:46.:09:52.

`` his next investment be? An organisation that runs academies and

:09:53.:09:56.

free schools in Bedfordshire is under investigation by two

:09:57.:09:59.

government departments. The Barnfield Federation in Luton

:10:00.:10:01.

was visited by the education secretary Michael Gove in 2011. The

:10:02.:10:07.

Department for education and the skills funding agency say they have

:10:08.:10:11.

now received allegations which they are taking seriously. The Barnfield

:10:12.:10:14.

Federation says it is engaging with the investigation.

:10:15.:10:21.

Plans to build a new ?330 million campus for the University of

:10:22.:10:23.

Northampton have moved a step closer. It is one of just 15 major

:10:24.:10:27.

projects in the country to make it through the first round of bids for

:10:28.:10:32.

funding. Under the plans, the university's two campuses will close

:10:33.:10:35.

and reopen in a purpose`built facility within the new enterprise

:10:36.:10:38.

zone. Network rail says it hopes to

:10:39.:10:41.

complete repairs tonight to the overhead wires on the East Coast

:10:42.:10:45.

Main Line near Peterborough. Yesterday, 30,000 passengers were

:10:46.:10:52.

affected. Passengers were forced onto replacement buses as engineers

:10:53.:10:55.

try to repair the cables and reopen the line.

:10:56.:11:01.

Those to light's top stories, now we can join Stuart

:11:03.:11:05.

done enough. The court will make a decision later this week.

:11:27.:11:35.

Hundreds of people who live near a parish church in Norfolk have just

:11:36.:11:39.

received a nasty shock in the post because of law .dating back to the

:11:40.:11:41.

Middle Ages. Nearly 900 homes in Gorleston

:11:42.:11:44.

received letters from the Land Registry warning that they could be

:11:45.:11:47.

liable for paying for repairs at St Andrew's Church. The law is called

:11:48.:11:50.

the Chancel Repair Liability. It applies everywhere and it goes back

:11:51.:11:54.

to the days people had to pay tithes to their local church. Our Chief

:11:55.:11:58.

Reporter Kim Riley is at St Andrew's now.

:11:59.:12:03.

Yes, I am in the chancel in front of the main altar. I have to say,

:12:04.:12:09.

looking around me, it looks as if it is in good repair. This is an

:12:10.:12:16.

archaic law, most of people had not heard of it before. Before it was

:12:17.:12:21.

changed, historic interest had to be locked with the Land Registry. Now

:12:22.:12:24.

more local people know about it, they are not happy.

:12:25.:12:30.

This couple and their wedding day at St Andrews Church. They have owned

:12:31.:12:35.

their present home for more than 50 years. Furious at the letter from

:12:36.:12:40.

the Land Registry hearing that they could be liable for repairs at the

:12:41.:12:43.

church. I was shocked, then I was angry. I

:12:44.:12:48.

thought the church was putting the wind up people. I think it is

:12:49.:12:51.

cheeky. It is a form of blackmail, saying

:12:52.:12:56.

they want money off you. That is what made us angry.

:12:57.:12:59.

They're near neighbour was also shocked to receive a letter.

:13:00.:13:04.

I felt as if it was someone taking money from my wallet, someone you

:13:05.:13:11.

thought you could trust, the church, and you can't even trust them.

:13:12.:13:16.

The reverend and other members of the parochial council have been

:13:17.:13:20.

taken aback by the anger generated and the resentment at a charge of

:13:21.:13:25.

?50 visitor the Kurds relieving loners of `` relieving owners of

:13:26.:13:33.

liability. I feel that we should have brought a

:13:34.:13:40.

sack of rain. When this started 50 years ago, people were poor like

:13:41.:13:47.

today, they had to bring that. It is affecting people in a big way.

:13:48.:13:53.

Our message to local people is that nothing has changed, other than

:13:54.:13:58.

something that has existed on their properties for many years has now

:13:59.:14:02.

been made public. There has never been a way of getting out of Chancel

:14:03.:14:10.

Repair Liability than a certificate of exception. However, we are now

:14:11.:14:15.

coming across cases when people cannot afford that ?50 charge and we

:14:16.:14:19.

are considering how we could deal with that address, wearing our ``

:14:20.:14:28.

hats as a charity as well as a church.

:14:29.:14:31.

The church has apologised for distress, and further that they

:14:32.:14:40.

could not reply to complaints more quickly. They are receiving legal

:14:41.:14:44.

advice. The church is set to reopen. The

:14:45.:14:49.

money has been raised by the congregation. The council has not

:14:50.:14:57.

caught on the Chancel Repair Liability before and says it has no

:14:58.:15:03.

plans to do so now. And if you have a story to tell

:15:04.:15:07.

about the chancel tax we'd love to hear from you. You can get in touch

:15:08.:15:12.

by phone, by email, by going to our Facebook page, or on Twitter.

:15:13.:15:22.

Here's a question ` does the word NEET mean much to you? It applies to

:15:23.:15:26.

16 to 18`year`olds and it stands for "Not in education, employment, or

:15:27.:15:28.

training". Across the East, there are almost enough NEETS to fill

:15:29.:15:32.

Wembley Stadium ` 81,000, at the last count. But in Bedfordshire

:15:33.:15:35.

there's a project to help them, headed by a famous Olympian and

:15:36.:15:40.

using sport as its inspiration. Dame Kelly Holmes is inspiring people.

:15:41.:15:49.

Not every young person's life can be smooth, they can struggle if there

:15:50.:15:53.

is no one to look up to. But with sport, these young people's lives

:15:54.:16:00.

are being improved. We have been with them for seven

:16:01.:16:07.

weeks. They get more confidence. We are trying to encourage them not to

:16:08.:16:10.

be afraid to get out of their comfort zone. We have tried

:16:11.:16:20.

football, basketball, badminton. A lot of the time, the sport is new to

:16:21.:16:24.

the young people, but they are open to trying new things.

:16:25.:16:29.

Nearly one in five of young people are not involved in education,

:16:30.:16:35.

training or work. This scheme aims to help young people, saying that

:16:36.:16:42.

success in sport can help success in life.

:16:43.:16:48.

Five weeks ago, this young man was out of work, but today he got a call

:16:49.:16:54.

from a shop. It is improving my confidence. It

:16:55.:17:02.

comes with the teamwork. If you work in a team, nobody blames each

:17:03.:17:05.

other. Projects like this one won't solve a

:17:06.:17:10.

national problem, but Dame Kelly Holmes wanted to make a difference.

:17:11.:17:16.

She was inspired by her PET chill. Young `` PE teacher.

:17:17.:17:25.

How difficult is it to get the opportunities? It is tough, isn't

:17:26.:17:28.

it? It is difficult. No work is bad

:17:29.:17:38.

work. Even if it is part`time. This is the only project of its type

:17:39.:17:44.

in our region. 70% of young people taking part are now doing something

:17:45.:17:49.

positive with their lives. Tonight, it is their graduation, so every to

:17:50.:17:55.

celebrate. Dame Kelly Holmes is in Luton this

:17:56.:18:00.

evening and we spoke to her, asking how the people she helps our chosen.

:18:01.:18:07.

All the young people are potentially not in education, employment or

:18:08.:18:10.

training. The needs of these young people are quite clear, they need

:18:11.:18:16.

some guidance and direction in their own life and basically we ensure

:18:17.:18:21.

that ordinary young people who are selected are making that first

:18:22.:18:24.

commitment. That is a big one. This is not about creating great

:18:25.:18:31.

athletes of the future. But sport is still plays an important role?

:18:32.:18:37.

Yes, that is right. We try and enable and empower young people. We

:18:38.:18:46.

have different stages of the Get On Track programme. The young people

:18:47.:18:50.

and maybe in a situation where their background has not been great, that

:18:51.:18:55.

experience in life has not been great so far. So to trust people can

:18:56.:19:00.

be difficult for them. Do people like you spend a lot of

:19:01.:19:05.

time getting involved in this? Or do you just appear once at the

:19:06.:19:07.

beginning and help someone else takes it and further. Do you have a

:19:08.:19:14.

greater commitment than that? I started this trust five years ago

:19:15.:19:25.

because I wanted to help others like sports people had helped me.

:19:26.:19:28.

Realising the benefits that sportspeople have to become mentors.

:19:29.:19:36.

You were the King `` talking about raw mad `` role models. Who was your

:19:37.:19:44.

role model? Mine was my teacher. My teacher told

:19:45.:19:49.

me I could be good at something. At that time, that was important to me,

:19:50.:19:54.

because I was not academic. If it had not been for sport, I do not

:19:55.:19:58.

think I would be who I am today. Is there one person that you have

:19:59.:20:04.

seen who has come to you who has become something that you never

:20:05.:20:06.

thought they could achieve? There are so many young people that

:20:07.:20:12.

we've helped with that transformation. There is a young

:20:13.:20:19.

girl here in Luton who dream of being a skiing instructor and she

:20:20.:20:25.

was written off and told her `` told that she would never push that

:20:26.:20:30.

dream. She was working at a call centre and was unhappy and lost her

:20:31.:20:36.

self esteem. Through the programme, we managed to get her on a ski

:20:37.:20:43.

instructor score `` course. It was more than getting her on the

:20:44.:20:47.

course, it was about rebuilding who she wanted to be and all the people

:20:48.:20:50.

who knocked her down. It is great work. Thank you.

:20:51.:21:00.

In the run`up to Remembrance Day, a row has broken out in Milton Keynes

:21:01.:21:03.

which could sour the commemorations on November 11th.

:21:04.:21:06.

Some British Legion members are so unhappy with the new MK Rose

:21:07.:21:09.

memorial, which opens in a few weeks, that they're planning to

:21:10.:21:12.

boycott it. It will contain 100 pillars commemorating things as

:21:13.:21:15.

varied as World Maths Day and International Joke Day. But the

:21:16.:21:18.

Legion says it's not a proper war memorial.

:21:19.:21:21.

For commemoration and contemplation, at the MK rose

:21:22.:21:25.

memorial there will always be something to think about. The

:21:26.:21:32.

merging out of the memorial will be 106 pillars, each representing a

:21:33.:21:36.

different day or organisation. I have a list of them here, and they

:21:37.:21:43.

include things like skipping day, even tea bag day. Somewhere there,

:21:44.:21:53.

between all those, is a pillar representing armistice day.

:21:54.:22:00.

This has upset some war veterans. This man is on parade every day, but

:22:01.:22:04.

will not come here. I do not feel I can act in true and

:22:05.:22:11.

as a standard`bearer if I do not see the cross. For me, the cross is a

:22:12.:22:17.

sign of remembrance for the dead of all wars.

:22:18.:22:22.

Here, a more traditional war memorial is being built.

:22:23.:22:27.

You cannot compare. I have never seen anything like it. Right next to

:22:28.:22:37.

Armistice Day is National Joke Week. That's not right.

:22:38.:22:44.

Some people say that this is not right. It detracts from the enormity

:22:45.:22:50.

of the situation. I think there should be another area

:22:51.:22:54.

for the heroes of the country. But those behind the MK Rose say

:22:55.:23:02.

that veterans are missing the point. What we have created, for a modern

:23:03.:23:09.

city, is a new way of people being able to mark the remembrance, for

:23:10.:23:14.

what is essentially a very important day.

:23:15.:23:17.

But for some ex`servicemen and ex`servicewomen, this will never be

:23:18.:23:22.

a fitting memorial to those who served.

:23:23.:23:29.

In the run`up to Remembrance Day, a row has broken out in Milton Keynes

:23:30.:23:33.

which could sour the commemorations on November 11th. Some British

:23:34.:23:36.

Legion members are so unhappy with the new MK Rose memorial, which

:23:37.:23:39.

opens in a few weeks, that they're planning to boycott it.

:23:40.:23:48.

A primary school near Chelmsford has appealed for help in solving a

:23:49.:23:51.

rather embarrassing mystery. It all came to light ` or rather failed to

:23:52.:23:55.

come to light ` during celebrations to mark the school's Golden Jubilee.

:23:56.:23:58.

It is something to celebrate, the 50th anniversary of Writtle Junior

:23:59.:24:02.

School. People gathered to discuss the school. In 1988, the school put

:24:03.:24:12.

together a time Capshaw, to be an earnest in October 2013. `` time

:24:13.:24:20.

capsule. We put lots of different things in

:24:21.:24:27.

it. We put in stamps in it. We watched it being varied. There

:24:28.:24:33.

was a paving slab to say where it was buried.

:24:34.:24:42.

The paving slab was there, but the time capsule was not.

:24:43.:24:46.

We looked under the paving stone, but it was not there.

:24:47.:24:52.

We went round the garden with metal detectors. We could not find any

:24:53.:24:57.

evidence of it. We had to stop after digging three holes, because we were

:24:58.:25:02.

worried about the garden. It was time to appeal for help.

:25:03.:25:06.

If anybody knows where the time capsule is, please let us know. We

:25:07.:25:12.

will not dig up any more of the school until we know where it is.

:25:13.:25:16.

In the meantime, they are burying another time capsule to be dug up in

:25:17.:25:21.

2038, presuming that they can find it.

:25:22.:25:27.

Oh dear. We will look at the weather.

:25:28.:25:39.

There has been a lot of rain today. Some of the showers were on the

:25:40.:25:48.

heavy side. Some of those have cleared away, but overnight they

:25:49.:25:50.

will be developed. In the early morning, it the showers could turn

:25:51.:25:57.

quite heavy. Some drier interludes now, but on the whole, the showers

:25:58.:26:02.

redeveloping into the evening and the night. That it will be a mild

:26:03.:26:08.

night. The showers will go through to the early hours of the morning.

:26:09.:26:13.

Tebbutt is around 14 Celsius at their lowest. `` temperatures. For

:26:14.:26:22.

some of us, the showers should get away quite quickly. Then it will

:26:23.:26:28.

improve tomorrow. Quite blustery first thing, but the sunshine should

:26:29.:26:33.

come out throughout the region. Temperatures around 16 or 17

:26:34.:26:37.

degrees. Our wind speed is coming from the South West. It will ease

:26:38.:26:45.

through the afternoon and overnight. Overnight, with clear skies and

:26:46.:26:53.

writer wins, `` lighter winds. It will be chilly tomorrow night. This

:26:54.:26:59.

is our pressure pattern for Thursday. You can see the pressure

:27:00.:27:05.

moving in from the Atlantic. There will be some low pressure giving us

:27:06.:27:09.

a wet and windy conditions by Friday. Make the most of the

:27:10.:27:15.

afternoon. On Thursday, it should be a decent day. Wet and windy weather

:27:16.:27:20.

appears overnight on Thursday into Friday. It will be quite blustery.

:27:21.:27:26.

At the moment, it looks like the weekend will have a dry start. It

:27:27.:27:31.

will be cold tomorrow night, after that it will be warmer.

:27:32.:27:37.

We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
