What began as a protest on a country lane in East Yorkshire has dnded in

defeat at the High Court in London today.

Environmental campaigners who have been blocking the entrance to an oil

and gas exploration site ne`r Walkington have been told to remove

this tower. The legal action was taken by the firm, Rathlin Dnergy,

and the farmer who owns the land, but tonight the protestors have told

This shows the difficulty of small people on big companies. Despite

repeated assurances from thd repeated assurances from the

operator, Rathlin Energy, that they are not fracking and do not attend

to do so, the protesters ard not to do so, the protesters are not

backing down. It is this terror that will have to

come down. Last week, Rathlhn Energy, said it would renew its

licence on this site. The company said there will be nothing to

prevent protesters from poor testing legally if they can find somewhere

legally if they can find solewhere to do it legally, not on public

roads are on our land or the to do it legally, not on public

roads are on our land or thd farmers roads are on our land or the farmers

land. Despite losing at court today, the campaign as I spoke to

said their protest is far from over. Our reporter is at the site in east

Yorkshire at the moment. Wh`t Our reporter is at the site in east

Yorkshire at the moment. What is Our reporter is at the site in east

Yorkshire at the moment. What is the reaction? This is one of many tents

pitched on this grass verge which is land owned by the council. The

decision today does not affect land owned by the council. The

decision today does not affdct their ability to stay here but if I show

you the tower of the camp, this has been built in size over the last

three months that the protesters have been here and this is the

structure a judge has ruled must come down. I did not realisd

structure a judge has ruled must come down. I did not realise what

come down. I did not realisd what was going on here till I got a

leaflet through the door saying leaflet through the door saxing

there was a camp here. They are courageous people who are going to

great lengths to stop this hndustry great lengths to stop this industry

and I think they need the stpport and I think they need the support

locals can give them. The m`in and I think they need the stpport

locals can give them. The main issue locals can give them. The main issue

was the farmer getting down this road. The two videos of lorries

coming in and out of their with crops and things like that. There

was no obstructions to the way of the farmer. There was no obstruction

to his lawful business. We have won this, we have won this, we have one.

It is not going to happen. Some of the protesters have admitted

surprise at the decision because the landlord has still had access to his

land, in their opinion. But it isn't clear what the structure is being

used for has become a block`de to try to stop Rathlin Energy from

accessing the site. It has been built into a symbol of defi`nce and

built into a symbol of defiance and it now has to come down. But what is

clear is that the feeling alongst clear is that the feeling alongst

the people remains strong, regardless of the tower. In a

moment, the candidate who is standing for the Conservative Party

If the travellers do not go, the council can apply for a possession

order from the courts. I have what around the whole site here `nd

around the whole site here and spoken to a few travellers. None of

them wanted to appear on camera spoken to a few travellers. None of

them wanted to appear on calera but them wanted to appear on camera but

said they would move on in the next few days. One woman I spoke to said

that they would use traveller sites that they would use travelldr sites

run by the council but they are often fool and they are unable to

get in. Another council was forced to take out an injunction to protect

car parks and Skegness seafront to stop travellers from staying.

It's one of the most famous roles in ballet, being performed

at one of the most famous theatres. Tonight Xander Parish, a dancer from

Hull, will be taking to the stage at the Royal Opera

House in Covent Garden to perform Romeo in Romeo and Juliet.

As Simon Spark reports, his journey to the London stage

only aspire to it here as the principal role in Romeo and Juliet,

dancing for the world famous Russian company is a boy from Hull `nd his

name is Xander Parish. It is a fantastic experience. It is a

privilege. To return now and come back and dance a major piece, it is

a dream. It is really exciting. His

journey started here, aged dight years old. I remember this and he

was a little boy running into class with his sister. In his

black shorts and a T`shirt. Looking very out of control. Rather like

Bambi on ice. Then, eventually, he started to understand the tdchnique

and I realised he had these beautiful legs and feet which are

essential to a classical dancer. He has become an inspiration. Because

he came from our dance school and he went to the same school I go to It

makes you think you can reach what he has done. From

Hull he joined the Royal Ballet and then he was spotted and Russian

ballet company invited him to Russia. It is very important but

talented artist. He had an `mazing way with technique

and he saw something in me that he seemed to think he

could work with. There were days when I thought I would never

quite get there but when you do get there, it makes you value it a lot

more and take care of it. He will perform as Romeo at the Roy`l Opera
