14/11/2013 Look East - West

Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: I'd never

hurt my son ` a mother accused of killing her seven`week`old baby

tells a court she doesn't know what happened to him.

A U`turn for the U's. Cambridge United look set to stay at the Abbey

And Peterborough's Little Miracles ` how the DIY SOS team rose to the

Children In Need challenge. "I don't know what happened to

Jamie. I'd never hurt my son." This is what Jacqueline Adams told a

court today when accused of murdering her seven`week`old baby

boy. Jamie Kightley died from multiple injuries at his home in

Northampton in March last year. Both Jamie's mother and his father Adam

Kightley are accused of his murder. Our reporter Mike Cartwright was in

court today and joins us from our Northampton newsroom.

NO SOUND. The prosecution put it to her that

she knew that there were bruises on the child. She said, no, he was

perfect. When asked when she first saw the bruises, she said in the

hospital. I understand there are different

accounts of what happened that night. All Mac this is Jacqueline

Parker's version of events. This is where the evidence differs.

This is Adam Kightley arriving at court. He says they both pitched

Jamie down to sleep and went to bed and found him the next morning. She

says that Adam was the last person to see him alive and the first

person to see him dead. The prosecution said that she was

hedging her bets until she knew what Adam Kightley was going to say. They

both deny murder and deny a loving the death of a child.

A young girl playing near to the home where a family was stabbed to

death heard a shriek coming from the house. That's what a jury has been

told today. The girl was a school friend of Alice Ding who was

murdered in 2011 along with her parents and sister. The court was

told the child could not tell whether the scream was one of

anguish or pleasure. Businessman Anxiang Du is accused of the

killings. He denies the charges A pensioner from Hertfordshire has

been named on a list of thirteen of Britain's most wanted criminals

thought to be hiding in Spain. 78`year`old paedophile Michael

McCartney from Letchworth was convicted in March of abusing three

boys. He failed to attend court the following month for sentencing.

Planes bound for the Philippines have been loaded with aid at

Stansted Airport this morning. Many more are planned for the coming

days. Aid agencies say the scale of this humanitarian disaster dwarfs

any in recent years. As dawn breaks at Stansted, a jumbo

jet awaits its cargo. It is not food or water, it is equipment for the

British Red Cross team to help them Courtney the distribution of aid.

What we are sending today are generators, land Rovers, food and

water. Everything they need to do their job

effectively. The scale of the devastation is now clear.

This lady waited for three days before she heard from her family.

They have nothing there. I would like to tell people to please donate

anything that you can, a penny, a pounds with be a very big help.

World Vision has had a presence in the Philippines for several years.

They say their presence is long`term. Once the television

cameras have gone, we will be continuing to supply them until they

have everything they need. Once that these is completed then we

start rebuilding people 's livelihoods.

This plane was loaded in one hour, after all delays could cost lives.

Fewer than 15% of the public voted for them but, a year on, the

Government says Police and Crime Commissioners are working well and

are here to stay. But a BBC survey reveals most people still don't know

who they are and what they do. We spent a day with David Lloyd, the

PCC of Hertfordshire who's struggling to make his mark with the

public. David Lloyd's working day starts in

this courtroom. Next is a quick chat with custody

officers. They are discussing strategy and about selling of a

redundant police building. I do not agree that people are

seeing what is it about? The public gets that this is about putting

someone at the heart of leasing and crime reduction. But it seems to be

failing to register with people Bill`mac I don't know his name and

didn't know there was one. I can't say I do know who years Is

yet as a waste of money and haven't followed the story. `` I see it

I do not think they have acted up towards the role allows.

I was talking about people being drunk overnight and this is a

development of this. Have you given up on your original policy? I think

that was exactly the area I was talking about. When you run, it is

hard to measure what impact David Lloyd has had.

Luton`based airline easyJet has unveiled new equipment designed to

keep planes flying after a volcanic eruption. It follows the chaos three

years ago when a volcanic ash cloud from Iceland led to flights being

grounded for a week across Europe. The new system called AVOID will

make it easier to avoid ash in the air.

Spring 2010 and a volcanic eruption in Iceland empties the skies over

most of Europe. 100,000 flights were grounded, Williams are stranded

across the world. When the dust settled, scientists began working on

a new system to stop it happening again. This man came up with the

idea. The camera fitted to normal airliners which conceived as close

in the distance. There is no certainty in science so

we are still not sure where all the action is. `` where all the ash is.

To test it, they got themselves this military aircraft.

They used an industrial vacuum cleaner to spew ash out of the back

of it and recreate that ash cloud. This is what it looked like. The red

shows the density of the ash. You can clearly see the ash clouds,

giving pilots enough time to change course.

You are seeing it in real time, physically in front of you. The

instrumentation can see the hazard and therefore you can avoid it.

Icelandic volcanoes erupt every five years on average but we now have

better forecasting, radar and planning. Coupled with this new

system it means that the chaos of three years ago should never happen

again. Cambridgeshire Police has been

accused of attempting to spy on students. The Guardian newspaper has

obtained footage showing an officer trying to persuade an activist to

become an undercover informant and feed him information in return for

money. The unnamed policeman wanted the activist to name students who

were going on protests. Cambridgeshire Police has said

officers do use covert tactics in accordance with the law. The

University of Cambridge has declined to comment.

For years Cambridge United's Abbey Stadium appeared to be doomed. The

club planned to build a brand new stadium on the edge of the city but,

after a planning battle, the U's have U`turned and now the Abbey

looks set for a new lease of life. Plans have been coming to the at

least idiom, home of Cambridge United, since 1932. Many were behind

plans for a new stadium. But those plans were dismissed by the council

which left the club needing a plan B. There has been lots of discussion

about taking it to the Secretary of State but they have been brilliant

landlords for us here so we looked for an alternative. This is a proper

football ground with modern facilities.

The common denominator is the property developer which is willing

to spend several million pounds redeveloping two standards. ``

stands. We are constantly told that the Abbey Stadium wouldn't afford us

an opportunity to make money off the field. It doesn't look good.

While he admits a new stadium would be nice, a redeveloped stadium will

allow more room for hospitality areas. It can't be sold from under

our feet. They hope to have the new stadium ready for the start of the

2015 caesium. It will help to make the club

sustainable in the long`term. Work to improve a notoriously

congested junction on the M1 could begin within three weeks. Luton

Borough Council has announced that junction 10a of the M1 will be

upgraded as part commissioners make no difference in

fighting crime. Still to come, Alex will be here

with your weather forecast and how the money you give to children in

need is helping these young people in Peterborough.

This week, Stewart is in Shanghai, reporting on the growing trade links

between our region and China. Tonight for our last instalment from

Shanghai we look at tips for businesses hoping to strengthen

their links with the Far East. Hello again from Shanghai. On Monday

when we were marking Remembrance Day and went 8` was sweeping across

parts of Asia, here in Shanghai the big news was something called single

state. They have it every 11th of November. `` singles day. On that

day, retailers offer their price `` offered the good at the cup place.

One online retailer sold five only in US dollars worth of goods. 5

billion. It gives you some idea of what this country is spending. Which

is why so many companies in the east are keen to do business here. I've

business correspondent has been getting some tips from some people

who know. These are fluorescent signs which

caught using the full range of fluorescent chemicals we have. New

products from the East, looking to conquer global markets. This company

makes for marking systems and other products used by the world's leading

airlines. Calling technology which it wants to sell to China. The chief

executive knows it will not happen overnight. He is setting up an

office in Shanghai. We are looking to find co`operation with companies

over there that we can innovate with and gender `` and develop

next`generation product for the Chinese market is difficult. China

will be taking 30% of all commercial airline for commercial traffic. East

of England companies sold ?750 million of goods and services to

China last year. According to the government there is plenty more to

go at, so what are the top tips? We asked the East Anglia companies who,

as we have seen, are already trading successfully with China. Having the

right partner who can help you navigate through the complexities of

a different market from your home market is obviously one of the most

important things, I would say. You can only do it one way, jump on a

plane and go and meet them, Cosby are very welcoming and they do want

to do business with the UK customers. You must give your brand

into national exposure, so we have done that by going to international

trade fairs and those trade fairs are globally attended, you get

buyers coming in from all over the world. China's repetition for

corruption put some companies. The new president has singled out

corruption as one of the issues to be dealt with further. The belief

that there is widespread corruption, there might be, but it

is less than it was and it is being addressed for the future. For ST G8

is all about getting into the world's is aviation market. It has

seen the light of China. I am sure that many of those

sentiments would have been echoed in Newmarket today, experts from 60

countries have been giving advice to businesses on how best to export.

It is like business speed dating, Peggy country you want to export to

and you get 20 minutes of advice. 16 national flags, including this one,

but they come from as far afield as Malaysia and Mexico. The site each

flight are experts from embassies and consulates, and they have all

been flown in here to give advice on export opportunities to local firms.

Have you had a lot of interest? Your Mac a huge amount, almost

overwhelming. It is very promising, I saw a lot of interest. We have the

structure of the Robbie Williams heads... This firm makes complex

components, like this prop for a rock concert tour. Because we are

very new to dealing with anybody outside of the UK, I saw this as a

great opportunity to get more support, some pointers on how to do

business abroad and hopefully make some contacts. The export market in

the Easter meeting is worth ?27 billion per year, but we are still

playing catch up. We are behind a number of our obvious competitors,

Germany, France, Italy. There is no good reason why that should be true.

We are gaining market share, a export to China in the past year

have been going faster. We start from a low basis we have a long

journey to go. The boss of this estimating firm is ahead of the

game. `` engineering firm. 90% of the manufacturers goes overseas. We

get comfortable dealing with the UK market and some of us get

adventurous and go to Europe, but there is a better world out there.

Countries like China have a huge growth. It is daunting for many

people because they see China as a difficult market and there is a lot

of misinformation. There is a lot of help out there, too. It is down to

local firms to make most of what health `` help is on offer. We are

behind the curve. What are my impressions of Shanghai?

The roads are congested, you read any taxi is like something out of

wacky races. This part of town is predominately a Toulouse attraction.

It is the new part which is big and brash. The money men have arrived.

Someone said to me that millionaires are ten a penny in Shanghai, it is

the cleaners we set up and take notice of, which probably explains

why George Osborne has been to China, David Cameron is coming to

China before Christmas and modest and was you just a few weeks ago.

Someone asked him if Britain had missed the vote when it came to the

Chinese economy. No, he said, we are just fashionably late to the party.

I think all of us will hope that this is true.

Now if you're a fan of DIY SOS, you'll know that last night. Nick

Knowles and his team attempted their biggest ever build. To mark this

years Children in Need appeal, they completely re`built a centre for

disabled children in Peterborough. It is called Little Miracles and

Mike Liggins has been there today to see how everyone is settling in.

Michelle King and her six`year`old son Oliver in the new sensory room

at the miracles. It is a paedophile support group for families with

children who have disabilities and life emitting support group. `` it

is a support group for families and children who have disabilities. Had

tried to get on the bus and the driver said no, so we refused to get

off. I sat in the aisle and had a cry. I had a mum that was absolutely

amazing telling me that things would be OK and he went for the Coffey.

Eternity out through its old home and the new one was not fit for

purpose. That is when DIY SOS got involved. Nine days, 16,000

man`hours, 12 lorry loads of concrete... Hundreds of people from

all over the country give their team to help in the build was only

finished at 3am on the day of the big reveal. If you are ready, open

your eyes. All my! It is amazing. This is our kitchen. This is where

we prepare the food. No, Michelle and the other parents and volunteers

are loving what has become a home from home for many. This

four`year`old who has cerebral palsy, is three or four times per

week. He was the trampoline and the swing. And the roundabout. And the

open spaces. Words cannot describe, it has put so many smiles on

families and children's faces. And Freddie was it? You like Freddie

adores it. He will not leave the place. When we go it is meltdown,

because you must put your shoes on. He knows when you put your shoes on

it is time to go. Children In Need helps fund Little

Miracles but money is tight. Michelle and others are working

their socks off and not being paid. So there are big challenges ahead.

But DIY SOS and all the people who helped have created a medical for

these Little Miracles. Of course Look East is holding its own event

for Children in Neeed tomorrow night at Wicksteed Park in Kettering.

Janine will be there. Tell us more. Thanks, Susie. It is going to be our

biggest Children in Need night yet. My little yellow friend and I will

be there and we'll be joined by a 200 strong choir who'll be singing

in a Gary Barlow challenge with others across the country. But the

best bit is that you can come, too. Entry is free, the pirate ship, the

dodgems all free. There'll be face painting, the Doctor Who experience,

and if you've been fundraising we would particularly love you to come

along and tell us all about it. Gates open at 6pm and entry is

limited so the sooner you get there the better! We want to hear, don't

we, from anyone who is doing anything special tomorrow.

Absolutely, if you can't make it along, still get in touch and tell

us what you are up to and how much you have managed to raise. The more

the merrier. What about the weather?

Nice but cold, wrap up warm if you're out tomorrow. We have had

some fine sunshine, but it felt cold with a north`westerly wind. We did

well for sunshine but that means that what follows is a particularly

cold night. There is a risk of Falkirk because temperatures will

get low enough to print the ground fog, but it will be patchy

especially in rural locations. We will keep largely clear skies and we

might look at some showers, particularly across the

north`eastern part of Norfolk. That is where it will stay cloudy and

those temperatures would be quite as low. If we go farther to the west

temperatures of two or three degrees are quite possible, we went falling

much later. There will be more of the best these around. The pressure

pattern shows a wad of high pressure moving in that brings us lighter

winds tomorrow and perhaps an odd missed patch to clear first thing

but it is looking largely warm and `` not warm but the great state.

Temperatures not one, it remained degrees at their very best. It will

feel comfortable. We will bring in clothes across parts of Norfolk and

Suffolk, and that may produce an isolated showers across most places.

Clearing skies overnight tomorrow, it really does bring us a lot of

sharp frost, it wait frosts were certainly cold makers expected.

Beyond then, this weather front is of interest because it marks the

boundary of much colder air. Eventually it turns southward,

especially after the weekend, and brings rain for Monday and then what

comes next is some much colder air. This originates from the Arctic so

the middle of next week it could be quite cold with some pretty cold

days and frosty nights expected. Before therefore the weekend there

will be more cloud around so that will prevent her temperatures

falling quite as low, but the high`pressure stands firm. We are

looking at largely fine conditions, if a little in the cold side. Sunny

spells expected for Saturday, workload for the afternoon and on

Sunday itself although it stays largely dry. It is expected to turn

rather cloudy and then we have this weather front moving through on

Monday that will bring in some rain. You can see are overly

temperatures, it is not is cold by the weekend by the sharp frost for

Monday night. Good luck to all of you raising

money for Children In Need tomorrow, have fun. Goodbye.
