:00:00. > :00:00.you. That is all
:00:07. > :00:12.Hello and welcome to Look East. Heading for an American court, the
:00:13. > :00:16.businessman who has lost his fight against extradition. Mistakes were
:00:17. > :00:22.made but baby Jamie's death could not have been prevented.
:00:23. > :00:26.We will be talking curling, why a shortage of ice means you have to
:00:27. > :00:29.travel long distances if you want to be a curler.
:00:30. > :00:34.And making a comeback, the old and illustrious Northampton Brewery name
:00:35. > :00:44.of Phipps. Hello. First tonight, a couple from
:00:45. > :00:50.Northampton face extradition to the United States after failing in a
:00:51. > :00:53.High Court appeal. Paul and Sandra Dunham are facing fraud and money
:00:54. > :00:58.laundering charges in Maryland, allegations they reject. And their
:00:59. > :01:04.case is being highlighted by lawyers who believe the extradition process
:01:05. > :01:10.is unfair. So these are all the legal files?
:01:11. > :01:18.Yes, they are. At home in North Hampton, Paul Dunham is
:01:19. > :01:23.contemplating his next move. Along with his wife, Sandra, he is accused
:01:24. > :01:30.of a million`dollar fraud. They now face a lengthy spell in a US jail,
:01:31. > :01:34.awaiting trial. We are completely shocked that neither the British
:01:35. > :01:40.government, nor British courts, are willing to intervene and prevent
:01:41. > :01:47.innocent British citizens being sent thousands of miles from home and
:01:48. > :01:52.held in jail, pre`trial, without anyone even examining one scrap of
:01:53. > :01:56.evidence. The 58`year`old businesswoman was Chief Executive of
:01:57. > :02:00.US manufacturer. He's accused of fiddling his expenses while working
:02:01. > :02:04.in America. His wife's accused of aiding and abetting. The couple now
:02:05. > :02:09.have 14 days to lodge an appeal against their extradition with the
:02:10. > :02:14.Supreme Court. If that fails, they could be jailed in Maryland within
:02:15. > :02:20.weeks. It's hard to find the words to explain how we feel. And it is
:02:21. > :02:24.extraordinary that the British government quietly and secretively
:02:25. > :02:28.gave up their rights to intervene in extradition last year. What kind of
:02:29. > :02:35.government would do that to their people? The Dunhams said our lives
:02:36. > :02:41.have been shattered by the allegations. What awaits them in the
:02:42. > :02:44.US has left them terrified. Earlier, I spoke to Michael Kaplan,
:02:45. > :02:50.a lawyer who deals with extradition cases. He told me the Dunhams' case
:02:51. > :02:52.highlights serious concerns with the extradition process to the United
:02:53. > :02:55.States. I think this is another example of
:02:56. > :02:58.how relatively straightforward it is for the United States when they
:02:59. > :03:02.apply for extradition for that to take place. There is no
:03:03. > :03:07.consideration of the evidence, for example. I think there are not
:03:08. > :03:10.sufficient safeguards in existence. And I think people and the general
:03:11. > :03:13.public should appreciate that that is the position we are now in and
:03:14. > :03:15.we've reached with extradition between this country and the US.
:03:16. > :03:17.we've reached with extradition between this country and the US Not
:03:18. > :03:21.sufficient safeguards, so should the government be doing more? Well, I
:03:22. > :03:24.think there's got to be a consideration of the present
:03:25. > :03:26.position, as far as citizens of this country are concerned. As I say,
:03:27. > :03:29.country are concerned. As I say there is no consideration of the
:03:30. > :03:32.evidence, and if someone challenges the extradition, the likelihood is
:03:33. > :03:36.they will not get bail on their return. They are under enormous
:03:37. > :03:39.pressure when they go to the US to enter into what we call
:03:40. > :03:43.plea`bargaining, otherwise they are likely to go to prison if they are
:03:44. > :03:47.found guilty for many, many years. The whole system they are then
:03:48. > :03:51.facing, if they go abroad. And we've got to realise that situation. I'm
:03:52. > :03:54.not saying there should necessarily be consideration of the evidence, or
:03:55. > :03:59.it is completely unbalanced, but it is now relatively straightforward.
:04:00. > :04:01.Do you feel extradition is disproportionate under these
:04:02. > :04:06.circumstances? After all, the Dunhams do have a case to answer. I
:04:07. > :04:08.think the position is that it's become so easy now for the US to
:04:09. > :04:12.apply for someone's extradition. become so easy now for the US to
:04:13. > :04:15.apply for someone's extradition That's why we find ourselves in this
:04:16. > :04:18.situation. And the appeal process has been watered down, so if, for
:04:19. > :04:23.example, there are appeals available, they are very difficult
:04:24. > :04:27.to mount. They will become even more so in the years to come when we have
:04:28. > :04:30.brought into force the Forum Bar, which is supposed to be a
:04:31. > :04:35.protection. I'm afraid that's not going to be the position. The bottom
:04:36. > :04:38.line is it so easy for the US to apply for extradition. So, in a
:04:39. > :04:43.nutshell, with the extradition process, what needs changing? What
:04:44. > :04:45.can be done? I think there should be consideration of their bail
:04:46. > :04:48.position, if they were to return, consideration of what the
:04:49. > :04:52.plea`bargaining position is. And consideration of the process they
:04:53. > :04:55.will face. For example, if someone is going to be returned, why can't
:04:56. > :04:59.they return immediately before a trial in the US and not months
:05:00. > :05:04.before when they have to wait around and they won't get bail? And, so,
:05:05. > :05:08.these are considerations which, perhaps, need to be looked into As
:05:09. > :05:11.I've often said, it's all very well, quite rightly, there are people who
:05:12. > :05:15.should be extradited to the US, but I'm afraid it'll only really be
:05:16. > :05:18.tested when there's a high profile case when the British feel, well,
:05:19. > :05:22.perhaps that person shouldn't be extradited without challenges. Then
:05:23. > :05:26.people will turn around and say why is it so easy? Now is the time to
:05:27. > :05:32.make those considerations and not when we have that situation.
:05:33. > :05:35.An investigation has criticised Northamptonshire Police for failing
:05:36. > :05:40.to investigate and arrest a man in Kettering, who then carried out a
:05:41. > :05:46.murder days later. Two officers have been given written warnings. Ben
:05:47. > :05:50.Bland has more on this and is in our newsroom.
:05:51. > :05:55.This is about a murder in Kettering in September 2011. This was the
:05:56. > :06:02.killer, he attacked his victim, John Kiernan, who was 62, in his own
:06:03. > :06:08.home. Just days before, John Kiernan reported a burglary at his home, he
:06:09. > :06:11.said he had been assaulted, he even named his killer. Northamptonshire
:06:12. > :06:17.Police failed to arrest him, who then went on to kill. For that, the
:06:18. > :06:28.force has been heavily criticised by the IPCC. The police did not protect
:06:29. > :06:31.the public. When the police receive a complaint, they are obligated to
:06:32. > :06:36.investigate that complaint, to find out whether there is validity there
:06:37. > :06:43.or not. They failed to do that. So, what did the investigation find?
:06:44. > :06:45.The watchdog found that there was poor handling of intelligence by
:06:46. > :06:49.Northamptonshire Police. It also said there were a number of
:06:50. > :06:57.investigative failings by officers. Two detectives had a case to answer
:06:58. > :07:00.for gross misconduct, and they were given written warnings. Northants
:07:01. > :07:04.police says it acknowledges this investigation and says it has
:07:05. > :07:05.reviewed the way it investigates crimes and has taken steps to
:07:06. > :07:09.improve. He was just seven weeks old when he
:07:10. > :07:12.died, but today a report into Jamie Kightley's death said it could not
:07:13. > :07:17.have been predicted or prevented. Jamie died in March 2012. His
:07:18. > :07:19.parents were convicted of causing or allowing his death. The review made
:07:20. > :07:25.recommendations, but no serious failures were identified. Louise
:07:26. > :07:29.Hubball reports. Jamie Kightley, just seven weeks old
:07:30. > :07:30.when he died. He had suffered more than 40 fractures. This, his
:07:31. > :07:43.mother's 999 call. But it was his mother and father who
:07:44. > :07:47.were to blame, convicted of causing or allowing his death. Today, a
:07:48. > :07:52.serious case review found that no one could have prevented or
:07:53. > :07:56.predicted it. The purpose of SCRs is for us to learn. Recommendations
:07:57. > :07:58.include closer checks on both the parents' backgrounds and Jamie's
:07:59. > :08:06.death being identified as non`accidental Faster. Why I'm
:08:07. > :08:10.concerned with that is had there been other children in the house, in
:08:11. > :08:13.my view, they would have been at risk until such point is that
:08:14. > :08:16.criminal investigation started, whereupon social services would have
:08:17. > :08:20.intervened. The police claimed there was a four`day delay. The police
:08:21. > :08:23.claim is a four`day delay, the hospital cites reasons such as the
:08:24. > :08:28.need to do a skeletal survey. I'm not going to referee. I've told both
:08:29. > :08:31.sides that in future we want to do it differently and we want to do it
:08:32. > :08:35.promptly. And they've accepted that recommendation. All this when the

:08:47. > :08:50.reviews into the deaths of children in this county. That seems six too
:08:51. > :08:57.many, it seems a lot. It is a lot but you have to look at a time
:08:58. > :09:00.scale. So although there are six I'm bringing to publication this year,
:09:01. > :09:04.the cases like this one go back over two or three years. So you're
:09:05. > :09:08.talking about one or two a year. Sadly, I don't think this is out of
:09:09. > :09:11.the ordinary for a county of this size. I say sadly because these are
:09:12. > :09:15.tragic cases. And you think children services in this county, just to be
:09:16. > :09:18.clear, are fit for purpose? We are on an improvement journey. The
:09:19. > :09:22.services are improving but there's still some big issues for the county
:09:23. > :09:25.to deal with and the partners to deal with here. Big issues there may
:09:26. > :09:31.be, but today's review was about the tragedy of a little boy.

:09:46. > :09:49.and demanded money. This afternoon, she spoke to our reporter, Kevin
:09:50. > :09:55.Burch. A bang on the door. A really good
:09:56. > :10:02.bang. That's the first sign. I thought it was somebody banging at
:10:03. > :10:07.the door. Then they banged again. They really went for it, or one of
:10:08. > :10:13.them, I suppose it was. And the door came in. So, they were trying to
:10:14. > :10:18.bang their way in? Yeah, they knocked the door in. And the bloke
:10:19. > :10:24.smashed the windows in the top part. They shattered. That's when I went
:10:25. > :10:29.to the hallway. I asked them what they were doing. I told them to
:10:30. > :10:33.clear off. I said, get out of here, what are you doing? He didn't say
:10:34. > :10:38.anything, just he hit me and knocked me down on the floor. With
:10:39. > :10:44.something. He knocked me on the floor. And then he said, money.
:10:45. > :10:49.Where's your money? Have you got any money? I said, no, I'm a poor widow.
:10:50. > :10:55.He said, you've got some down the side of your settee or something?
:10:56. > :11:00.And I hadn't, of course. So he went to look down the settee the arm
:11:01. > :11:05.chairs, threw them all about. And the second one, too, but the third
:11:06. > :11:12.once stayed with me. He looked down and said, are you all right there? I
:11:13. > :11:15.said, no, I'm bleeding from my head. What was going through your mind
:11:16. > :11:20.when three men were in the bungalow? Were you scared or angry? No, well,
:11:21. > :11:24.I was angry they came in, I was telling them to go out. But I
:11:25. > :11:34.couldn't make out what they were doing, really. Except they were
:11:35. > :11:41.looking for money. Not much anger. I want to see the law do the right
:11:42. > :11:44.thing. And if you had to find the words to describe people who would
:11:45. > :11:52.do this to someone like you, what would those words be? Evil. That's
:11:53. > :11:58.what I'd say it was. Evil. I think they should bring back whipping
:11:59. > :12:03.actually. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. I know so many
:12:04. > :12:07.people's thoughts will be with you, so you just make sure you rest and

:14:01. > :14:06.daughter, but when there is someone to blame, you feel more angry. You
:14:07. > :14:16.have grief and anger together. It is too much. Staff in this control room
:14:17. > :14:21.in Bedford received 1000 emergency calls every day. Their dedication is

:16:33. > :16:37.is where to do it. It is played in 40 countries, but Steve has to
:16:38. > :16:41.travel four hours a day to practice in Tunbridge Wells in Kent. It is
:16:42. > :16:49.the only dedicated ice curling rink in England. In Scotland it is a
:16:50. > :16:55.mainstream sport. Here and in Wales we need more ice rinks. The more ice
:16:56. > :16:58.rinks you get, the more accessible it is and a lot of people if they
:16:59. > :17:04.are just getting into something new, they want it closer. I started in
:17:05. > :17:13.Chelmsford, but they stopped it there because they `` because it did
:17:14. > :17:18.not pay. They stopped curling and I had to go further. For the highly

:17:39. > :17:44.No need to work up a sweat here though, there is no ice. The sport
:17:45. > :17:51.at this community Centre in Norwich is played at a more sedate pace. It
:17:52. > :17:56.is similar to curling on ice without the ice. As you throw the stone, the

:18:35. > :18:39.with curling. I think it is because it is an unusual sport and we are
:18:40. > :18:46.good at it. Unfortunately though, it is on every four years. Do you think
:18:47. > :18:54.it is down to the Olympic effect? The interest waned after that? I

:19:10. > :19:19.can do curling seriously. Can it not be done on an ice rink? It can, but
:19:20. > :19:29.you need to play its on a proper rink. So how do people practice if
:19:30. > :19:36.they want to get to the level we are seeing in Sochi? In England there is
:19:37. > :19:40.only one ice rink in Kent, but in Scotland there are 25 curling rinks
:19:41. > :19:44.where people can practice. That is why the majority of the team of
:19:45. > :19:49.Scottish because they have had the time and experience to play a lot.
:19:50. > :19:56.In England you have two travel to Kent to get that experience. It
:19:57. > :19:59.seems a real shame. We are a nation of winter, but not necessarily
:20:00. > :20:02.winter sports. This is something we are good at and you would have
:20:03. > :20:12.thought there would be more facilities. Absolutely. There are
:20:13. > :20:17.two ways to start playing curling. One is to find someone with few
:20:18. > :20:22.hundred thousand pounds to build an ice rink or you can ask a time on
:20:23. > :20:27.the ice. If there is someone out there who wants to put money into

:21:52. > :21:56.important. We are using water from our own well. It is crucial that in
:21:57. > :22:05.this day and age where so many things come and go so quickly,
:22:06. > :22:14.Phipps is steeped in history in this area. The brewery is hoping to

:22:38. > :22:41.normally think of the wartime bombing of London or Coventry. But
:22:42. > :22:44.there was another smaller blitz in Norwich. In 1942, hundreds of German
:22:45. > :22:48.bombers raided the city on two consecutive nights and nearly 250
:22:49. > :22:51.people were killed. At the time the authorities made a map showing the
:22:52. > :22:55.exact position of every bomb blast in the war, but over the years its
:22:56. > :23:12.condition deteriorated. Now it's been painstakingly restored, as Kim
:23:13. > :23:19.Riley reports. Secrets revealed this afternoon of
:23:20. > :23:25.five months of work bringing this bomb map back to life. Each of these
:23:26. > :23:31.tags represent a bomb that rained down on the city. The exact
:23:32. > :23:45.position, date and size of the bomb are detailed. Just over 250 people
:23:46. > :23:54.died during the Blitz. It happened over a couple of nights. In July
:23:55. > :24:01.1940, 27 people were killed. Five girls were walking up Karen Hill and
:24:02. > :24:06.were killed. Many people remember that. It's difficult to think that
:24:07. > :24:14.happens when you walk around Norwich now. Here in the city centre this is
:24:15. > :24:18.the site of the John Lewis store. There is nothing to show for it now,
:24:19. > :24:24.but during the war the building then on this site was alone apart. By
:24:25. > :24:30.marrying together the streetscape of the present day with the aftermath
:24:31. > :24:36.of the bombing raids, graphic designer Nick Stone has created
:24:37. > :24:41.ghost images. It is a case of standing in the footsteps of the
:24:42. > :24:48.original photographer. It is on every residential street in the
:24:49. > :24:56.city. A phenomenal amount of damage was caused. The restored map will be
:24:57. > :25:02.preserved under controlled conditions, but detailed images from
:25:03. > :25:08.it are available on CD. Street high`street telling the story of a
:25:09. > :25:20.city under attack. Those pictures are amazing. Now, let us have a look
:25:21. > :25:30.at the weather. New line `` temperatures up to 12 degrees today.
:25:31. > :25:34.Quite a range of temperatures through the day. It will be quite
:25:35. > :25:39.mild tomorrow, but it will be windy up with a brain in the morning. It
:25:40. > :25:44.is this Atlantic weather system that will bring rain later tonight. A lot
:25:45. > :25:49.of clouds moving in off the Atlantic and already our skies are turning
:25:50. > :25:54.cloudy. There will be patchy rain, but not until around midnight. It
:25:55. > :26:06.will track eastwards. It will not read all the time `` rain all the
:26:07. > :26:14.time. And while night with temperatures no lower than six
