The general manager of Wigan’s Grand Arcade says he feels that its giant Debenhams store is not in danger of closing.
John Sanson was speaking after the troubled department store chain was put into administration after bosses rejected a £200m takeover deal from Sports Direct magnate which included making him chief executive.
The company has been taken over by its lenders in a pre-pack administration deal which would allow the shops to continue trading. The move is expected to trigger jobs losses and closures of some of its 165 stores.
Mr Sanson, however, felt that the Wigan outlet - which is the Grand Arcade’s anchor tenant - is better placed than some in the chain to weather any future storms.
He said: “There has been restructuring on the cards for a while now and it’s a good thing that it has come out and then it can move forward.
But the shopworkers’ union Usdaw voiced anger at the latest developments.
National Officer Dave Gill said: “This is more devastating news for staff who were already living under the uncertainty of possible store closures since last year.
But of course you’re going to need some top content creators to make that investment worth its while. So who do you sign on? Moral munchkin Lena Dunham and late-night professional conservative bashers like Trevor Noah. Throw in a couple podcasts on LGBTQ advocacy and new age promiscuity, and yeah you’ve got a streaming...
Dunham, the former star of HBO’s Girls, is one of the faces on the front end of Luminary’s marketing. Her podcast, “The C Word” will debut along with the streaming site and be a weekly look “at women who have been deemed ‘crazy’ online." You be the judge, but considering Dunham’s the mind behind quotes such as “Now I c...
One nice thing, though: podcasting being an audio format, we don’t have to worry about Dunham taking off her clothes.
Wow, so much liberal propaganda and so little time. Thankfully Luminary is will be offering most of its streamable content ad-free for subscription members. It will go live in June 2019, so you can listen to Lena Dunham caterwaul about the injustices of women’s pants not having pockets or Russell Brand talk about the u...

A diamond brooch — “composed of diamond clusters that previously stood at the apex of the tiara” — was also stolen from the case, Nottinghamshire Police wrote in a press release.
Winifred Anna Dallas-Yorke, the Duchess of Portland, had first worn the tiara in 1902 for the coronation of Edward VII, and continued to wear it throughout her life at different royal events, according to The Vintage News. It’s been called a “national treasure” — and could be worth millions because of the diamonds that...
Richard Edgcumbe, Curator of Jewellery at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, said it is “one of the great historic tiaras of Great Britain,” according to the police press release.
“Since its creation by Cartier in 1902, using diamonds from the historic collections of the Dukes of Portland, it has been recognised as a jewel of supreme importance, a superb design magnificently executed,” Edgcumbe said, according to police.
On June 16, 2018, two suspects stole a tray of eight diamond rings, valued at $45,566, from the Elite Fine Jewelry Store located inside of the Pembroke Lakes Mall.
There are “a number lines of inquiry” about where the stolen tiara might have been taken, Nottinghamshire Police say, per BBC. James Lewis, an auctioneer, said it’s not possible for the thieves to sell the notable tiara as it is — but there is a way they could profit.
But police wrote in a Facebook post they have at least one clue: a burned out silver Audi S5, which was found in the nearby town of Bildworth.
The car was found about half an hour after the heist at the Welbeck Estate, police said.
GEORGE HOWELL, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): History in the making. High- ranking North and South Korean leaders meet for the first time in years but an even bigger meeting, it is now soon expected.
Also ahead, Democrats lash out at the U.S. president. Why they're saying the latest action should be counted as obstruction of justice.
Later, the first gold medal is awarded at the PyeongChang Olympics. A lot to tell you about there.
Live from CNN World Headquarters in Atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and all around the world. I'm George Howell and CNN NEWSROOM starts right now.
HOWELL: At 5:00 am here on the U.S. East Coast, we start with the breaking news this hour. An invitation for North Korea for the president of South Korea to visit Pyongyang.
Could this be a key turning point after years of tense relations between these two countries?
Let's start with the facts. Kim Jong-un has officially invited South Korean president Moon Jae-in to visit Pyongyang. This invitation delivered by the North Korean leader's sister, Kim Yo-jong.
She and a high-level delegation met with the president Moon Jae-in earlier on Saturday. Kim Yo-jong is the first member of North Korea's ruling family to visit the South since 1953.
talks between North Korea should also involve the United States, talks needed there as well. Let's get the very latest on this story with our two correspondents following this story, Paula Hancocks live in PyeongChang, South Korea, where the games are taking place, and Paula Newton standing by live in Seoul, South Kore...
Paula Hancocks, let's start with you. Typically when you and I speak about North Korea, we're talking about rhetoric and provocation; we're talking about North Korea firing a missile, South Korea, the United States and others responding. But this story quite different on this day. Talk to us about the significance of t...
PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, that's right, George. Just the very fact that a few months ago we were talking about the possibility of a military strike against North Korea, we had the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, publicly speaking and giving the reasons why there could never be a second Korean War.
You could not get further away from that now. You have this official invitation from the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, to the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, to come and visit him in Pyongyang. The date is unknown at this point. It just says at his earliest convenience.
So it's certainly a remarkable change of events. Now it is interesting that it was hand delivered. It was hand signed by the North Korean leader. It was delivered by his sister, who is here for the PyeongChang Olympics.
We know that in the coming hours there will a dinner for the North Korean delegation, Kim Jong-un's sister and Kim Jong-nam, the head of state, with the ceremonial head of state with the South Korean unification minister.
And then after that, tonight, there is going to be that women's ice hockey team. The North and South Korean athletes join together for that joint Korean team. They will be competing for the first time in the Olympics tonight. They will be playing against Switzerland.
And we are expecting the South Korean president and the North Korean ceremonial head of state to be spectators at that event. So really, the symbolism is extremely strong and, of course, the question is, what sort of substance can come from this now.
But that invitation from the North Korean leader to the South Korean president, very significant. It's something that CNN had sources alerting us to over the past few days. But, certainly, something significant and something that I don't think many people would expect the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, to say no ...
He has said he wants dialogue and engagement with North Korea.
HOWELL: All right and, to your point, what type of substance could come out of this?
Paula Newton, now to you. This triangle between the United States, between North and South Korea, ever shifting and fully complicated.
With this invitation, though, we are seeing President Moon suggesting that there should also be talks with the United States at some point.
PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I think he was very clear, at least from the Blue House statement after the meeting, very clear to say that he is encouraging North Korea to have that dialogue with the United States.
NEWTON: -- now from Vice President Mike Pence.
Remember, he was at the Olympics. Came back here to Seoul. Was actually in Seoul when this meeting was going on. He's now back at the Olympic sites, taking in some events before he heads back to the United States.
We've gotten what was a statement-nonstatement from his press secretary, saying the vice president is grateful that President Moon reaffirmed his strong commitment to the global maximum pressure campaign for his support for continued sanctions.
The vice president's office just trying to say, invitation or no invitation, as far as we're concerned, this is business as usual. But it is still a bit of an odd statement, meaning they disagreed in terms of actually directly responding to this invitation.
You know, George, the United States has been pretty unequivocal. They are saying that North Korea needs to be denuclearized. And that is something where North Korea says we're not ever going to engage in that. We are a nuclear state and we intend to remain so.
This is what is going to make a Pyongyang meeting, if it happens in the near future, so difficult for South Korea. They could not possibly go there without extraction concessions from North Korea, knowing that those are on the table before they go for this visit.
And it will be a very delicate balancing act for Moon Jae-in, who has said over and over again, that he believes dialogue with North Korea is the way to go.
HOWELL: That is some important context.
Paula Hancocks, now to you, this question, given your extensive reporting there in South Korea, the question to you, is there a sense, the optics here, that the U.S. is being sidelined in this process?
And what is the perception among people with this new invitation?
HANCOCKS: George, I think there's no doubt that North Korea is making an effort to sideline the United States ever since January 1st, when the leader, Kim Jong-un, gave his New Year's Day address. He said it was important for North and South Korea to work together to try and resolve the Korean issue on the Korean Penin...
He said you do not need external interference, clearly talking about the United States. So, yes, I think in some respects, there are fears that the U.S. is being sidelined. Certainly in the public statements we're hearing that the alliance is just as strong as it's always been and it's certainly stronger than just the ...
But it is interesting. As Paula was mentioning, that statement from the U.S. vice president Mike Pence didn't really address what is going on at this exact moment. It was just going back to the statement of more sanctions, more pressure, which is what we have been hearing from him consistently throughout this process.
So, I mean, the headlines at the moment are about North Korea and South Korea, are about the two Koreas working together to try and resolve the issue. There are concerns, of course, that North Korea is not actually having to give anything up in order to get these kinds of concessions, that they're not having to give an...
They've made it abundantly clear they have no intention of giving up their nuclear and missile program. The fact that they're a nuclear state has been written into their constitution.
So I don't think there's many people in this country that believe that Kim Jong-un would voluntarily give up his nuclear missile program. But, certainly, it is an interesting dynamic at this point also because, obviously, China and Russia are of the opinion that there should be more dialogue with North Korea and the U....
Interestingly, we did hear from a Blue House spokesperson that, at the summit meeting between the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Moon, Shinzo Abe said that in fact they should be carrying out these U.S.-South Korean military drills and not postponing them for the Olympics.
And the statement really from the Blue House was that Moon thought it was inappropriate for Mr. Abe to be making that kind of remark. So you're really seeing a shift for South Korea, almost closer to the idea of what China and Russia want to do with North Korea, and away from what the U.S. and Japan want to do.
HOWELL: And, Paula, before we leave you guys, just very quickly, if we could show that image of the U.S. vice president also beside Kim Yo-jong. Now this very important image, certainly interesting seating arrangement there at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Thank you both for your reporting, Paula Newton ...
HOWELL: -- came after an Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle entered Israeli airspace from Syria.
We're covering this story from all angles. Our senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman live in Beirut, Lebanon. But let's start with CNN correspondent Ian Lee following events from the Golan Heights.
Ian, first of all, what more can you tell us?
The details of what you're learning, exactly what happened here.
And what are the responses to it?
IAN LEE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Let me give you a timeline, George. We just got off the phone with an Israeli military official and he kind of laid it out. He said in the early morning hours, in the 4:00 am, that they were tracking this Iranian drone.
They said that it was moving inside Israeli territory. They say that this wasn't an accident, that this was a drone that was on a mission. They said, at a certain point, they decided to engage it with a helicopter. They were also able to take it down and capture the remains of this drone.
In retaliation, they said they went after the command and control center of this drone. They say that Iran has a command and control center near Palmyra inside Syria. They said they had eight jets go after that command center. They came under heavy anti-aircraft fire from the Syrians.
On the way back, one of those planes did go down. Now they haven't said what caused the plane to go down but they said there was significant anti-aircraft fire. That likely was the cause of it although they said they will release the cause later.
Also, in retaliation, they say for that they went after 12 targets inside Syria, eight of them Syrian, four of them Iranian. One of those targets was the 4th Division of the Syrian army, which is on the outskirts of Damascus.
Damascus is just about 50 kilometers behind me. They say that right now the ball is in Syria and Iran's court. They say they do not want to escalate this any further. We're also hearing from Syrian state media, saying that multiple Israeli aircraft were brought down. Israeli military says that only one plane has crashe...
HOWELL: Ian Lee live for us. So Israeli concerns about Iran inside Syria along the border there. Now let's bring in CNN senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman to give some background here. A little context on this.
The Israeli military, Ben, has been quite active for a long time on its border with Syria.
BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SR. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, what we're hearing is that, in fact, a little while ago, minutes ago, there was a second wave of Israeli airstrikes in the Damascus area. We don't know at this point what the targets were.
But certainly, for the past few years, there have been regular Israeli airstrikes on targets in Syria. Oftentimes those targets, even though the Israelis are very coy about it and don't confirm or deny reports of airstrikes by Israel within Syrian territory. By and large their focus has been on what the Israelis say ar...
This time they have been quite honest and open. They're talking about Iranian and Syria targets that they are striking. Now what's interesting, in March of last year, Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli defense minister, did say that Israel would strike and destroy Syria's air defense system if Israeli planes came under fir...
Now that's what we've seen has happened today. These Syrians, it does appear -- I don't think there is any point in playing, pussyfooting around it, the Syrians did bring down an Israeli F-16. And this is a real game changer.
This is the first time in decades that the Syrians have been able to bring down an Israeli warplane. And this is going to change the entire dynamic of how Israeli planes operate over Syria.
Clearly, the Syrians now have much more sophisticated missile or air defense systems that they've put into play. The Israelis are going to have to fly higher and fly more carefully as they often do over Syria, as well as Lebanon. Frequently there are Israeli violations of Lebanon's airspace and they may have to change ...
HOWELL: Ben Wedeman, pointing to the significance, the military significance of what we're seeing here. Thank you, Ben.
And Ian Lee, live for us in the Golan Heights.
HOWELL: Gentlemen, thank you, both for the reporting. And we'll stay in touch with you.
Still ahead here on CNN NEWSROOM, Democrats in the United States respond to the Republican memo with their own memo.
So why is the White House saying that it can't be made public?
We'll dig into that for you -- ahead.
Plus, speculation grows that the chief of staff, John Kelly, might be falling out of favor with the U.S. president, Donald Trump. We've heard that story before. Amid the fallout over now the former White House staffer accused of spousal abuse. We'll have details, as NEWSROOM pushes on.
Here in the United States, Democratic leaders are lashing out at the U.S. president after he blocked the release of an intelligence memo that was written by House Democrat Adam Schiff. The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, says that it shows the release of the earlier Nunes memo was a blatant political move and aske...
JIM SCIUTTO, CNN CHIEF U.S. SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: Well, one week after the president celebrated the release of a Republican memo, known as the Nunes memo, given a Republican view of FBI or alleged FBI abuse of surveillance, one week later, the president blocking, in effect, the release of a Democratic version of even...
