:00:09. > :00:15.Hello, welcome to Look East. Coming up in the programme tonight: A boost
:00:16. > :00:20.for business or bad for the environment. A month after their
:00:21. > :00:23.launch, flights are leaving Cambridge International Airport with
:00:24. > :00:30.as few as four passengers. That and the rest of the top stories now
:00:31. > :00:33.The crash that almost killed a 21`year`old man, today a lorry
:00:34. > :00:37.driver pleads not guilty to dangerous driving.
:00:38. > :00:42.Generation inspiration, how Dame Kelly wants sports to help young
:00:43. > :00:46.people back into work or education. And inappropriate for Armistice Day,
:00:47. > :00:56.why some veterans say they will not use this Milton Keynes Memorial
:00:57. > :01:04.Good evening. First tonight, they were meant to boost the region's
:01:05. > :01:07.economy but the BBC has learned that some flights are leaving Cambridge
:01:08. > :01:11.International Airport with fewer than five passengers on board. It
:01:12. > :01:15.has been a month since the high`profile sermons were launched.
:01:16. > :01:20.The planes will hold 50 people but on average, each flight to Amsterdam
:01:21. > :01:24.had around 12 passengers on board, flights to Geneva carried 11 people,
:01:25. > :01:28.to Milan it was ten and just four passengers used each plane to Paris.
:01:29. > :01:36.We'll be hearing from the airport in a moment that first this report
:01:37. > :01:41.And Kharkov water, the traditional way and airport welcomes its new
:01:42. > :01:47.airline. Four new destinations turned Cambridge Airport
:01:48. > :01:51.International. Darwin operate 5 flights out of Cambridge every
:01:52. > :01:56.month, the aircraft hold 50 passengers. The total number of
:01:57. > :02:01.flights for September, they were one fifth full. Are they disappointed?
:02:02. > :02:06.We are delighted the way we started the service. When you start a
:02:07. > :02:11.brand`new route and a new outbound destination like Cambridge, you hope
:02:12. > :02:14.to start from a 0`based so we had to start publicising them from the
:02:15. > :02:20.beginning, getting the message out there and we have seen the sale
:02:21. > :02:24.numbers go from a few hundred per week to around 600 per week now You
:02:25. > :02:28.can also fly to the same four destinations with the typical
:02:29. > :02:33.ticket, Cambridge 's is more expensive to three of them but to
:02:34. > :02:36.Geneva it is cheaper. Stansted and Luton but do people know that you
:02:37. > :02:40.can fly to the constant from Cambridge?
:02:41. > :02:47.Have you considered flying out of Cambridge? Not really. Heathrow is
:02:48. > :02:54.such a long way, but Stansted is great. Should more people use it?
:02:55. > :02:58.Yes, many more. I might use in the next couple of years but not at the
:02:59. > :03:03.moment. green campaigners say we need more passengers flying from
:03:04. > :03:08.local airports. If we are having trouble, I would prefer people to go
:03:09. > :03:13.from local airports in small planes to where they want to go rather than
:03:14. > :03:18.people clogging up Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and demanding new
:03:19. > :03:24.runways and more environmental damage. The aircraft are far from
:03:25. > :03:30.full but in time, the airport says more passengers will fly from here.
:03:31. > :03:35.Well, David Surley is in charge of business and new routes for the
:03:36. > :03:39.airport and joins us now. We hear that you are confident that
:03:40. > :03:43.passenger numbers will increase but it seems not enough people know that
:03:44. > :03:51.you offer these flights. Are you on price comparison websites yet? Yes,
:03:52. > :03:55.we are on a wide selection of online booking platforms. The airline,
:03:56. > :04:05.Darwin, distributes fares across a huge number of websites worldwide.
:04:06. > :04:09.It is taking a while for passenger numbers to pick up, Lodz and of
:04:10. > :04:12.course already offers these destinations and they are cheaper
:04:13. > :04:20.than yourselves apart from special offers, can you really compete? Yes,
:04:21. > :04:24.I think we absolutely can. The airline has seen a sharp take`up in
:04:25. > :04:27.sales looking forward. We are really pleased with forward sales and there
:04:28. > :04:32.are some fantastic bargains to be had out there. Just this week, the
:04:33. > :04:35.airline has been marketing in conjunction with Air France, new
:04:36. > :04:40.first of the United States and destinations around the world at
:04:41. > :04:43.extremely competitive prices. Sue you are pleased with these routes
:04:44. > :04:51.enough that you might introduce more? We absolutely hope so and we
:04:52. > :04:54.are focused on making sure that these flights work really well. We
:04:55. > :05:00.are working with the travel trade, with partners far and wide but we
:05:01. > :05:05.would love to see a destination or two more added in the future. The
:05:06. > :05:10.Green party likes the idea of people flying from local airports. Aside
:05:11. > :05:15.from that, what are the advantages? It is convenient and that is what
:05:16. > :05:18.Cambridge passengers are finding. Short check`in times so you can
:05:19. > :05:23.check in 45 minutes before your flight. We do not charge from drop
:05:24. > :05:26.off or pick up in our car park outside the terminal so it is
:05:27. > :05:31.thoroughly convenient through and through and it is a small, compact
:05:32. > :05:36.space. Passengers are loving it Positive feedback. David Surley
:05:37. > :05:40.thank you for joining us. A Dutch lorry driver has pleaded not
:05:41. > :05:43.guilty to dangerous driving after he crashed into the back of a broken
:05:44. > :05:50.down car. The 21`year`old driver was seriously injured in the accident
:05:51. > :05:56.near Milton Keynes back in June Milton Keynes magistrates heard that
:05:57. > :06:01.30`year`old Dutch driver has been driving lorries for around nine
:06:02. > :06:07.years in the UK. On the 10th of June this year, he was driving a 44 tonne
:06:08. > :06:11.Volvo lorry on the Stoke Hammond bypass near Milton Keynes. Just
:06:12. > :06:16.after 6pm, he crashed into the back of a Ford Fiesta which had broken
:06:17. > :06:21.down in one lane of the dual lane carriageway. The driver, a
:06:22. > :06:25.21`year`old from Dunstable was still inside and was seriously injured in
:06:26. > :06:30.the impact. He was flown to hospital with head injuries. The court heard
:06:31. > :06:34.that Mr Noble was driving at a constant speed of 56 mph. The speed
:06:35. > :06:38.limit for lorries on dual carriageways. But on seeing the
:06:39. > :06:41.broken down car, he did not take avoiding action. The Dutch lorry
:06:42. > :06:47.driver denies one charge of dangerous driving and was given
:06:48. > :06:49.unconditional bail and now will face trial at Aylesbury Crown Court at a
:06:50. > :06:59.date to be fixed. Two men from Northampton have
:07:00. > :07:02.appeared in court charged with the murder of Jamie McMahon. His body
:07:03. > :07:06.was found on the grounds of Saint Charles Church in the town centre
:07:07. > :07:09.earlier this month. Michael Francis and Mark Lewis were remanded in
:07:10. > :07:16.custody, they are also both accused of robbery. `` Saint Giles Church.
:07:17. > :07:20.Investigations are taking place into the death of a 63`year`old man who
:07:21. > :07:24.was found at an address in Luton this afternoon. Bedfordshire police
:07:25. > :07:27.were called by an ambulance crew who had been sent to an incident in
:07:28. > :07:31.Carnegie Gardens just after two o'clock. The man died shortly
:07:32. > :07:36.afterwards. Police are appealing for information.
:07:37. > :07:40.Cambridge is home to many high`tech businesses, some of them just
:07:41. > :07:43.starting out. But it seems some of the entrepreneurs behind them are no
:07:44. > :07:49.longer relying on big investors like banks. Instead, they are raising
:07:50. > :07:52.money through news sites like Crowdcube offering anybody the
:07:53. > :07:59.chance to own a share of the company by investing as little as ?10.
:08:00. > :08:06.I will offer you all the money for a 35% stake. Fantastic. Backing a new
:08:07. > :08:12.business, exciting stuff if you can afford it. But you don't need to be
:08:13. > :08:15.a millionaire to be a dragon. You can do it without even leaving your
:08:16. > :08:19.server through sites like this. You find a company and choose to invest
:08:20. > :08:22.as much or as little as you want. Some of Cambridge's newest medical
:08:23. > :08:28.and technology company as using it to attract the so`called armchair
:08:29. > :08:32.dragons. Investors like Thomastown, a researcher in Cambridge who
:08:33. > :08:38.invested in a company that makes tools for scientists with a stake of
:08:39. > :08:47.?250 he declared that he was in `` Thomas time. I would love to see a
:08:48. > :08:53.Cambridge company prosper. But it is guided by the chances of getting a
:08:54. > :08:57.decent return. Of course, he had never met the entrepreneur behind
:08:58. > :09:01.the business so we brought them together. Michael's company raised
:09:02. > :09:06.more than ?250,000 from 100 different investors. It allows them
:09:07. > :09:10.to access early`stage companies which only high net worth
:09:11. > :09:17.individuals like venture capitalists were able to do. The process has
:09:18. > :09:21.been relatively painless in terms of the whole process and how quickly we
:09:22. > :09:26.were able to raise funds so it has been a positive experience for us.
:09:27. > :09:29.Like all types of investment, armchair dragons like Thomas are
:09:30. > :09:34.risking their own money so in this case, does he feel he made a wise
:09:35. > :09:38.choice? I am confident that my investment is in good hands. And I
:09:39. > :09:45.look forward to seeing how to put the money into good use and see how
:09:46. > :09:52.they use it. The question now is what will his next investment there?
:09:53. > :09:56.`` his next investment be? An organisation that runs academies and
:09:57. > :09:59.free schools in Bedfordshire is under investigation by two
:10:00. > :10:01.government departments. The Barnfield Federation in Luton
:10:02. > :10:07.was visited by the education secretary Michael Gove in 2011. The
:10:08. > :10:11.Department for education and the skills funding agency say they have
:10:12. > :10:14.now received allegations which they are taking seriously. The Barnfield
:10:15. > :10:21.Federation says it is engaging with the investigation.
:10:22. > :10:23.Plans to build a new ?330 million campus for the University of
:10:24. > :10:27.Northampton have moved a step closer. It is one of just 15 major
:10:28. > :10:32.projects in the country to make it through the first round of bids for
:10:33. > :10:35.funding. Under the plans, the university's two campuses will close
:10:36. > :10:38.and reopen in a purpose`built facility within the new enterprise
:10:39. > :10:41.zone. Network rail says it hopes to
:10:42. > :10:45.complete repairs tonight to the overhead wires on the East Coast
:10:46. > :10:52.Main Line near Peterborough. Yesterday, 30,000 passengers were
:10:53. > :10:55.affected. Passengers were forced onto replacement buses as engineers
:10:56. > :11:01.try to repair the cables and reopen the line.

:11:03. > :11:05.said that she cried because she felt that the Ambulance Service had not
:11:06. > :11:15.done enough. The court will make a decision later this week.

:11:36. > :11:39.Hundreds of people who live near a parish church in Norfolk have just
:11:40. > :11:41.received a nasty shock in the post because of law .dating back to the
:11:42. > :11:44.Middle Ages. Nearly 900 homes in Gorleston
:11:45. > :11:47.received letters from the Land Registry warning that they could be
:11:48. > :11:50.liable for paying for repairs at St Andrew's Church. The law is called
:11:51. > :11:54.the Chancel Repair Liability. It applies everywhere and it goes back
:11:55. > :11:58.to the days people had to pay tithes to their local church. Our Chief
:11:59. > :12:03.Reporter Kim Riley is at St Andrew's now.
:12:04. > :12:09.Yes, I am in the chancel in front of the main altar. I have to say,
:12:10. > :12:16.looking around me, it looks as if it is in good repair. This is an
:12:17. > :12:21.archaic law, most of people had not heard of it before. Before it was
:12:22. > :12:24.changed, historic interest had to be locked with the Land Registry. Now
:12:25. > :12:30.more local people know about it, they are not happy.
:12:31. > :12:35.This couple and their wedding day at St Andrews Church. They have owned
:12:36. > :12:40.their present home for more than 50 years. Furious at the letter from
:12:41. > :12:43.the Land Registry hearing that they could be liable for repairs at the
:12:44. > :12:48.church. I was shocked, then I was angry. I
:12:49. > :12:51.thought the church was putting the wind up people. I think it is
:12:52. > :12:56.cheeky. It is a form of blackmail, saying
:12:57. > :12:59.they want money off you. That is what made us angry.
:13:00. > :13:04.They're near neighbour was also shocked to receive a letter.
:13:05. > :13:11.I felt as if it was someone taking money from my wallet, someone you
:13:12. > :13:16.thought you could trust, the church, and you can't even trust them.
:13:17. > :13:20.The reverend and other members of the parochial council have been
:13:21. > :13:25.taken aback by the anger generated and the resentment at a charge of
:13:26. > :13:33.?50 visitor the Kurds relieving loners of `` relieving owners of
:13:34. > :13:40.liability. I feel that we should have brought a
:13:41. > :13:47.sack of rain. When this started 50 years ago, people were poor like
:13:48. > :13:53.today, they had to bring that. It is affecting people in a big way.
:13:54. > :13:58.Our message to local people is that nothing has changed, other than
:13:59. > :14:02.something that has existed on their properties for many years has now
:14:03. > :14:10.been made public. There has never been a way of getting out of Chancel
:14:11. > :14:15.Repair Liability than a certificate of exception. However, we are now
:14:16. > :14:19.coming across cases when people cannot afford that ?50 charge and we
:14:20. > :14:28.are considering how we could deal with that address, wearing our ``
:14:29. > :14:31.hats as a charity as well as a church.
:14:32. > :14:40.The church has apologised for distress, and further that they
:14:41. > :14:44.could not reply to complaints more quickly. They are receiving legal
:14:45. > :14:49.advice. The church is set to reopen. The
:14:50. > :14:57.money has been raised by the congregation. The council has not
:14:58. > :15:03.caught on the Chancel Repair Liability before and says it has no
:15:04. > :15:07.plans to do so now. And if you have a story to tell
:15:08. > :15:12.about the chancel tax we'd love to hear from you. You can get in touch
:15:13. > :15:22.by phone, by email, by going to our Facebook page, or on Twitter.
:15:23. > :15:26.Here's a question ` does the word NEET mean much to you? It applies to
:15:27. > :15:28.16 to 18`year`olds and it stands for "Not in education, employment, or
:15:29. > :15:32.training". Across the East, there are almost enough NEETS to fill
:15:33. > :15:35.Wembley Stadium ` 81,000, at the last count. But in Bedfordshire
:15:36. > :15:40.there's a project to help them, headed by a famous Olympian and
:15:41. > :15:49.using sport as its inspiration. Dame Kelly Holmes is inspiring people.
:15:50. > :15:53.Not every young person's life can be smooth, they can struggle if there
:15:54. > :16:00.is no one to look up to. But with sport, these young people's lives
:16:01. > :16:07.are being improved. We have been with them for seven
:16:08. > :16:10.weeks. They get more confidence. We are trying to encourage them not to
:16:11. > :16:20.be afraid to get out of their comfort zone. We have tried
:16:21. > :16:24.football, basketball, badminton. A lot of the time, the sport is new to
:16:25. > :16:29.the young people, but they are open to trying new things.
:16:30. > :16:35.Nearly one in five of young people are not involved in education,
:16:36. > :16:42.training or work. This scheme aims to help young people, saying that
:16:43. > :16:48.success in sport can help success in life.
:16:49. > :16:54.Five weeks ago, this young man was out of work, but today he got a call
:16:55. > :17:02.from a shop. It is improving my confidence. It
:17:03. > :17:05.comes with the teamwork. If you work in a team, nobody blames each
:17:06. > :17:10.other. Projects like this one won't solve a
:17:11. > :17:16.national problem, but Dame Kelly Holmes wanted to make a difference.
:17:17. > :17:25.She was inspired by her PET chill. Young `` PE teacher.
:17:26. > :17:28.How difficult is it to get the opportunities? It is tough, isn't
:17:29. > :17:38.it? It is difficult. No work is bad
:17:39. > :17:44.work. Even if it is part`time. This is the only project of its type
:17:45. > :17:49.in our region. 70% of young people taking part are now doing something
:17:50. > :17:55.positive with their lives. Tonight, it is their graduation, so every to
:17:56. > :18:00.celebrate. Dame Kelly Holmes is in Luton this
:18:01. > :18:07.evening and we spoke to her, asking how the people she helps our chosen.
:18:08. > :18:10.All the young people are potentially not in education, employment or
:18:11. > :18:16.training. The needs of these young people are quite clear, they need
:18:17. > :18:21.some guidance and direction in their own life and basically we ensure
:18:22. > :18:24.that ordinary young people who are selected are making that first
:18:25. > :18:31.commitment. That is a big one. This is not about creating great
:18:32. > :18:37.athletes of the future. But sport is still plays an important role?
:18:38. > :18:46.Yes, that is right. We try and enable and empower young people. We
:18:47. > :18:50.have different stages of the Get On Track programme. The young people
:18:51. > :18:55.and maybe in a situation where their background has not been great, that
:18:56. > :19:00.experience in life has not been great so far. So to trust people can
:19:01. > :19:05.be difficult for them. Do people like you spend a lot of
:19:06. > :19:07.time getting involved in this? Or do you just appear once at the
:19:08. > :19:14.beginning and help someone else takes it and further. Do you have a
:19:15. > :19:25.greater commitment than that? I started this trust five years ago
:19:26. > :19:28.because I wanted to help others like sports people had helped me.
:19:29. > :19:36.Realising the benefits that sportspeople have to become mentors.
:19:37. > :19:44.You were the King `` talking about raw mad `` role models. Who was your
:19:45. > :19:49.role model? Mine was my teacher. My teacher told
:19:50. > :19:54.me I could be good at something. At that time, that was important to me,
:19:55. > :19:58.because I was not academic. If it had not been for sport, I do not
:19:59. > :20:04.think I would be who I am today. Is there one person that you have
:20:05. > :20:06.seen who has come to you who has become something that you never
:20:07. > :20:12.thought they could achieve? There are so many young people that
:20:13. > :20:19.we've helped with that transformation. There is a young
:20:20. > :20:25.girl here in Luton who dream of being a skiing instructor and she
:20:26. > :20:30.was written off and told her `` told that she would never push that
:20:31. > :20:36.dream. She was working at a call centre and was unhappy and lost her
:20:37. > :20:43.self esteem. Through the programme, we managed to get her on a ski
:20:44. > :20:47.instructor score `` course. It was more than getting her on the
:20:48. > :20:50.course, it was about rebuilding who she wanted to be and all the people
:20:51. > :21:00.who knocked her down. It is great work. Thank you.
:21:01. > :21:03.In the run`up to Remembrance Day, a row has broken out in Milton Keynes
:21:04. > :21:06.which could sour the commemorations on November 11th.
:21:07. > :21:09.Some British Legion members are so unhappy with the new MK Rose
:21:10. > :21:12.memorial, which opens in a few weeks, that they're planning to
:21:13. > :21:15.boycott it. It will contain 100 pillars commemorating things as
:21:16. > :21:18.varied as World Maths Day and International Joke Day. But the
:21:19. > :21:21.Legion says it's not a proper war memorial.
:21:22. > :21:25.For commemoration and contemplation, at the MK rose
:21:26. > :21:32.memorial there will always be something to think about. The
:21:33. > :21:36.merging out of the memorial will be 106 pillars, each representing a
:21:37. > :21:43.different day or organisation. I have a list of them here, and they
:21:44. > :21:53.include things like skipping day, even tea bag day. Somewhere there,
:21:54. > :22:00.between all those, is a pillar representing armistice day.
:22:01. > :22:04.This has upset some war veterans. This man is on parade every day, but
:22:05. > :22:11.will not come here. I do not feel I can act in true and
:22:12. > :22:17.as a standard`bearer if I do not see the cross. For me, the cross is a
:22:18. > :22:22.sign of remembrance for the dead of all wars.
:22:23. > :22:27.Here, a more traditional war memorial is being built.

:22:45. > :22:50.Some people say that this is not right. It detracts from the enormity
:22:51. > :22:54.of the situation. I think there should be another area
:22:55. > :23:02.for the heroes of the country. But those behind the MK Rose say
:23:03. > :23:09.that veterans are missing the point. What we have created, for a modern

:23:15. > :23:17.what is essentially a very important day.
:23:18. > :23:22.But for some ex`servicemen and ex`servicewomen, this will never be
:23:23. > :23:29.a fitting memorial to those who served.
:23:30. > :23:33.In the run`up to Remembrance Day, a row has broken out in Milton Keynes

:23:59. > :24:02.It is something to celebrate, the 50th anniversary of Writtle Junior

:24:28. > :24:33.it. We put in stamps in it. We watched it being varied. There
:24:34. > :24:42.was a paving slab to say where it was buried.
:24:43. > :24:46.The paving slab was there, but the time capsule was not.
:24:47. > :24:52.We looked under the paving stone, but it was not there.
:24:53. > :24:57.We went round the garden with metal detectors. We could not find any
:24:58. > :25:02.evidence of it. We had to stop after digging three holes, because we were
:25:03. > :25:06.worried about the garden. It was time to appeal for help.
:25:07. > :25:12.If anybody knows where the time capsule is, please let us know. We
:25:13. > :25:16.will not dig up any more of the school until we know where it is.
:25:17. > :25:21.In the meantime, they are burying another time capsule to be dug up in
:25:22. > :25:27.2038, presuming that they can find it.
:25:28. > :25:39.Oh dear. We will look at the weather.
:25:40. > :25:48.There has been a lot of rain today. Some of the showers were on the
:25:49. > :25:50.heavy side. Some of those have cleared away, but overnight they
:25:51. > :25:57.will be developed. In the early morning, it the showers could turn
