:00:08. > :00:13.Welcome to Look East from Essex. Time is running out for the

:00:13. > :00:18.country's biggest illegal traveller site. In tonight's programme, the

:00:18. > :00:21.Church wades into the debate over whether families should be evicted.

:00:21. > :00:28.Sleeping up this community and evicting these people will not

:00:28. > :00:34.solve anything. It will push them somewhere else. But the Home

:00:34. > :00:39.Secretary insists the law will be upheld. Basildon council had made a

:00:39. > :00:44.decision about the action, and the Home Office will support them.

:00:44. > :00:49.For a new school with a difference. For the start of a new turn.

:00:49. > :00:59.And it might be a cloudy end to the summer, but it is a brighter start

:00:59. > :01:03.

:01:03. > :01:08.to the autumn. A full weather This is Dale Farm travellers' camp

:01:08. > :01:13.near Crays Hill in Essex. 1000 people live here, it is the largest

:01:13. > :01:18.gypsy camp in the UK and probably in the rest of Europe. The centre

:01:18. > :01:23.of Basildon is about two miles away. These dogs over here on my left are

:01:23. > :01:28.illegal. Some of them remain empty, but the people who live here have

:01:28. > :01:33.planning permission. They are not affected by the impending eviction.

:01:33. > :01:38.But if you look behind this barricade, it marks the entrance to

:01:38. > :01:42.the illegal part of Dale Farm. About 260 people had been served

:01:42. > :01:52.with eviction notices after a long battle. They have until midnight

:01:52. > :01:55.

:01:55. > :01:59.tomorrow to leave or face the bailiffss.

:01:59. > :02:06.The Bishop of Chelmsford and the Roman Catholic -- Catholic Bishop

:02:06. > :02:10.of Bradford visiting a community in crisis. We have mainly been

:02:10. > :02:15.listening to people. Of course we have said prayers, and we have

:02:15. > :02:24.blessed one or two homes that they be destroyed. But mostly we had

:02:24. > :02:29.been listening. This has given us hope. We had no help from anybody

:02:29. > :02:35.for look -- before this. That bishops urged the council to let

:02:35. > :02:42.the people stayed rather than spending millions clearing them out.

:02:42. > :02:50.I think it is quite prodigal to be spending �18 million on eviction.

:02:50. > :02:54.It will break up his closely-knit community. A protest camp, and

:02:54. > :03:00.makeshift home for students and human rights activists. Some hid

:03:00. > :03:05.their faces. Why are you covering your face? The legal battle over

:03:05. > :03:10.half of the plots here at Dale Farm has gone on for 10 years. The

:03:10. > :03:16.travellers lost and now have until midnight tomorrow to get out.

:03:16. > :03:20.Basildon council says planning law must be upheld. This marks the

:03:20. > :03:25.entrance to the illegal pitches at Dale Farm. Some protesters are now

:03:25. > :03:30.sleeping on straw bales up their. They will have a bird's eye view of

:03:30. > :03:35.any eviction. And over the weekend the barricade has been strengthened

:03:35. > :03:39.and extended. With the eviction Leeming, Dale Farm's nearest

:03:39. > :03:45.neighbour and most outspoken critic was arrested. He tried to set fire

:03:45. > :03:49.to a barricade at the bottom of his garden. At the weekend, police

:03:49. > :03:53.confiscated his firearms. Tomorrow, the travellers lawyers will make

:03:53. > :03:56.another challenge at the High Court, arguing the eviction should be

:03:56. > :04:02.delayed until planning applications for new sites elsewhere have been

:04:02. > :04:09.considered. This afternoon, one of Dale Farm's Eilis supporters

:04:09. > :04:16.appeared, Vanessa Redgrave, she also alleged the council to let the

:04:16. > :04:20.travellers stay. A short while ago, I spoke to

:04:20. > :04:27.Vanessa Redgrave and asked her why she was supporting the travellers.

:04:27. > :04:32.First of all, because the secretary of the association contacted me a

:04:32. > :04:37.few weeks ago and I first met him with my brother. We organised a

:04:37. > :04:43.public meeting. And he's but that it. It was not about the eviction,

:04:43. > :04:53.it was about the situation of the traveller communities in the UK and

:04:53. > :04:53.

:04:53. > :04:57.in Europe. It was quite a long time ago, so there is that reason. Also

:04:57. > :05:03.because my brother became very involved with Dale Farm at a time

:05:03. > :05:10.when I was in the United States during a Royal Shakespeare Company

:05:10. > :05:16.to a. And my brother had a very disastrous cardiac arrest while he

:05:16. > :05:21.was speaking for the Dale Farm community against eviction in July

:05:21. > :05:26.2005. Amnesty International says this is about human rights. But the

:05:26. > :05:29.council says it is basically a planning issue. Do you accept that

:05:29. > :05:37.they have flouted planning laws, and that they have to be some

:05:37. > :05:41.rules? Forgive me for interrupting, it is not polite. But I do not

:05:41. > :05:45.think we are entitled to say frightened. Basildon council can

:05:45. > :05:49.say what they like. When you look at the history of going to the

:05:49. > :05:57.courts, the court's ruling in favour of Dale Farm, it being

:05:57. > :06:00.appealed, another Peel -- appeal against. Perhaps tomorrow they will

:06:00. > :06:07.say that they think the new planning application should be

:06:07. > :06:14.considered before this ill- considered forcible eviction at

:06:14. > :06:20.this point. No, Dale Farm have always pursued due legal process.

:06:20. > :06:27.So nobody has flight and in the Dale Farm, nobody has flighted law

:06:27. > :06:34.planning or anything else. But you cannot divorce planning from health

:06:34. > :06:39.and education. Of children or of elderly people. What do you think

:06:39. > :06:46.is going to happen? The deadline runs out at midnight tomorrow. What

:06:46. > :06:52.do you think will happen? What I hope will happen is that the

:06:52. > :06:58.injunction that is going to be put forward at the High Court tomorrow

:06:58. > :07:03.so will be successful. We do have some remarkable judges in Britain,

:07:03. > :07:08.they are pretty well the only thing apart from the British people

:07:08. > :07:12.themselves that I have confidence in. Our extraordinary judges to

:07:12. > :07:17.have ruled again and again with a big perspective of what is involved,

:07:17. > :07:26.not only in the individual and the particular but with a view for what

:07:26. > :07:31.is in the best interests all round. Thank you very much.

:07:31. > :07:38.Essex police say the eviction here will cost them �10 million. Theresa

:07:38. > :07:39.May is contributing one third of that from her department, today, on

:07:39. > :07:44.a visit to Northampton, she insisted eviction was the right

:07:44. > :07:52.decision. They used to call this place and in eBay reached. But

:07:52. > :07:54.clever policing has made it and nicer place to live. Today, the

:07:54. > :07:59.Home Secretary walk on to the estate to see for herself the work

:07:59. > :08:09.going on here. She also came to seek assurances from the Chief

:08:09. > :08:13.Constable about the funding cuts. We really do not want to see police

:08:13. > :08:18.cut on the estate. We are worried about it slipping back to Harwich

:08:18. > :08:25.used to be. We are also unhappy about the street lighting. Half of

:08:25. > :08:30.that has been turned off. Some areas feel very unsafe. But the big

:08:30. > :08:35.story in the region today will not go away. From saving millions to

:08:35. > :08:39.spending millions. The policing operation to evict almost 100

:08:39. > :08:43.families from Dale Farm is expected to run to �10 million. At just over

:08:43. > :08:48.one-third of that will come from the Home Office. How can this be

:08:48. > :08:51.justified when public money is so tight? I think it is right that the

:08:51. > :08:56.Home Office is supporting Basildon council and the Essex police in

:08:56. > :09:00.dealing with this. And it will be a shared responsibilities. But this

:09:00. > :09:05.is an issue that has been concerning local people for a long

:09:05. > :09:12.time, action is being taken, and the Home Office is supporting that.

:09:12. > :09:15.How can any fiction like that take place, given that you have people

:09:15. > :09:19.like Vanessa Redgrave and Amnesty International saying it should not

:09:19. > :09:23.happen? The decision as to what will happen in relation to Dale

:09:23. > :09:27.Farm and the decisions that drug being taken, the Home Office is

:09:27. > :09:32.supporting the council and the police Office -- police force to

:09:32. > :09:36.insure that they're able to do what the majority of residents want.

:09:36. > :09:41.Some people say it is races and, ethnic cleansing. Is that too far

:09:41. > :09:46.fetched? It is a problem that local residents have identified. It has

:09:46. > :09:50.been a cause of concern. The police and council have looked at what

:09:50. > :09:54.they needed to do, and we are supporting their decision. They

:09:54. > :09:59.debate rages on, but time is running out. With the deadline

:09:59. > :10:05.looming, this is a Home Secretary with a clear message of unwavering

:10:05. > :10:09.support. Later, what local people think as

:10:09. > :10:18.the countdown to eviction continues. Before that, we will catch up with

:10:18. > :10:22.the rest of the day's news where you live.

:10:22. > :10:26.One of the country's first free schools is ready to welcome its

:10:26. > :10:34.first pupils in Norwich. It looks like any other primary school, but

:10:34. > :10:40.there are some big differences. They may have got off to a shaky

:10:40. > :10:46.start, but the school has not. It is one year to a day since its new

:10:46. > :10:49.principal applied to set up one of the government's three schools. It

:10:49. > :10:53.is claimed they will offer parents more choice, and dried up

:10:53. > :11:00.educational standards. I think innovation is very important in

:11:00. > :11:04.education. The system is constantly looking at ways to create more

:11:04. > :11:11.opportunities for children. I think the school is very natural, and

:11:11. > :11:18.very natural addition to that. it is based in the city centre, in

:11:18. > :11:23.what was once an office block. Classes will contain no more than

:11:23. > :11:33.24 pupils, and, for a small fee, the school will offer after as --

:11:33. > :11:33.

:11:33. > :11:38.after-school care. It has been built in time and on budget. But

:11:38. > :11:43.critics say that free schools come with a hefty price tag that is not

:11:43. > :11:49.just about money. You just have to ask who the trustees are behind the

:11:49. > :11:52.school, is the experience that the headmaster has appropriate. When

:11:52. > :11:56.you start at three school you can bypass all these considerations.

:11:56. > :12:03.There is also a concern that business could have undue influence

:12:03. > :12:07.on such skills. One of the school's sponsors already seems to have won

:12:07. > :12:11.the contract for quite boards. Another has won the contract for

:12:11. > :12:17.catering. The school says it is harmless sponsorship, but critics

:12:17. > :12:21.say it is the thin end of the wedge. A verdict of accidental death has

:12:21. > :12:25.been recorded on a man from Wivenhoe in Essex to fell to his

:12:25. > :12:30.death while parascending during a family holiday in Turkey. Glen

:12:30. > :12:35.Hudson fell 150 ft when his harness snapped. He had been strapped

:12:35. > :12:41.together with his daughter. Police in Essex have resubmitted

:12:41. > :12:44.their file on the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne. The force has been

:12:44. > :12:50.investigating the claim that he asked his estranged wife to take

:12:50. > :13:00.penalty points for him in 2003. He had been driving on the M11 in

:13:00. > :13:11.

:13:11. > :13:14.Six other men have been arrested and released on bail. Health

:13:15. > :13:19.experts are forecasting a big rise in the number of people who want to

:13:19. > :13:25.have tattoos removed. It is thought one-in-five adults has a tattoo.

:13:26. > :13:29.Having them removed can be uncomfortable and expensive.

:13:29. > :13:36.At the indigos studio in Norwich this morning, tatty trade was brisk

:13:36. > :13:41.as ever. Student Ryan went for an Arabic phrase and slaughtermen Gary

:13:41. > :13:48.went for hands in prayer. doesn't hurt, really. A tingling

:13:48. > :13:54.sensation. I am quite picky. If I feel it is a fad or it will not

:13:54. > :14:00.last all look good in time, I won't do it. I have had a few months to

:14:00. > :14:07.think about it. You are sure it is the right thing? Yes. Even if it

:14:07. > :14:12.and 10 years' time, you look back? Yes. Ross got his first had to in

:14:12. > :14:19.his teens and he works here. Once he started, he didn't want to stop.

:14:20. > :14:24.It is more like one massive tattoo now! You must have lost count.

:14:24. > :14:27.Nearly everywhere, pretty much. Once something of a social taboo,

:14:27. > :14:32.celebrities have helped make tattoos trendy, but the experts say

:14:32. > :14:36.when it comes to job interviews, be wary. They can mean different

:14:36. > :14:40.things to different people. Our recommendation would be to go for

:14:40. > :14:45.the safe option and keep yourself covered. Tattoos can be removed by

:14:45. > :14:52.laser or surgery. The number of people seeking treatment is

:14:52. > :14:56.steadily rising. People can regret having them done. There may be

:14:56. > :15:01.names associated with them or they may be associated with the specific

:15:01. > :15:08.it meant the patient wants to forget about. -- a specific event.

:15:08. > :15:13.The advice is clear: Don't tattoo Assaults against ambulance staff

:15:13. > :15:16.across the region have increased by more than 10 per cent. Figures from

:15:16. > :15:21.the East of England Ambulance Service show 140 staff were

:15:21. > :15:26.assaulted in 116 separate incidents, an increase of 22 on last year,

:15:26. > :15:31.when there were 94 incidents. Most of the attacks were in Essex,

:15:31. > :15:36.Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. He is 72 years old and still one of our

:15:36. > :15:39.finest actors. Sir Ian McKellen, or plain Ian as he insists on being

:15:39. > :15:44.called, is back treading the boards in Cambridge half-a-century on.

:15:44. > :15:48.Then he is off to be a film-star again as Gandalf in the Lord of the

:15:48. > :15:55.Rings prequel The Hobbit. Amanda Goodman asked him about 50 years as

:15:55. > :16:01.an actor. It is like having a birthday, really. Part of the

:16:01. > :16:06.things, I can't be this old, and the other half things, well done.

:16:06. > :16:10.Because it is the 50th anniversary on 4th September, I wanted to

:16:10. > :16:19.celebrated by working, which is why I am doing this play. I am playing

:16:19. > :16:25.a Mafia boss with a twist. understand Cambridge was the place

:16:25. > :16:30.you decided to become an actor. Tell us about that. It was. As --

:16:30. > :16:34.at this stage door. I was in a production with Derek Jacobi and

:16:34. > :16:44.others who have also become professional actors. I had a good

:16:44. > :16:45.

:16:45. > :16:48.review in a now defunct newspaper, the News Chronicle, and my

:16:48. > :16:52.production didn't give the names of the actors in the programme, and

:16:52. > :16:56.the review said they wished they would have published it because

:16:56. > :17:01.they said this young actor's name is a name to remember. Do you get

:17:01. > :17:07.angst before going on stage these days? It is a terrifying and daft

:17:07. > :17:11.thing to do, to stand up in public. You are such an easy target for any

:17:11. > :17:17.missile that might come your way, but also for people's attention and

:17:17. > :17:21.criticism. But then you are verse- speaking other people's words, not

:17:21. > :17:26.being yourself. I find it a very comfortable place to be because it

:17:26. > :17:33.is all rehearsed. I know what will happen next. I started acting

:17:33. > :17:38.because I couldn't do anything else, but I began not as an actor but as

:17:38. > :17:44.an audience. I went to the theatre a lot with my parents, and in my

:17:44. > :17:48.teens on my own, and they travelled quite a long way to see plays.

:17:48. > :17:54.his theatre still your first love? I just think theatre, it from me,

:17:54. > :18:01.it is essential. I couldn't live without it. The Brits adore live

:18:01. > :18:07.entertainment. The tradition is strong, and I would like to help

:18:07. > :18:17.uphold it. It is a mixture of a lot of things, but basically, a love of

:18:17. > :18:23.

:18:23. > :18:26.the theatre. Welcome back to the Dale Farm

:18:26. > :18:31.Travellers' site at Crays Hill in Essex. Let's give you some idea of

:18:31. > :18:36.the scale of the eviction operation planned for this site. It could

:18:36. > :18:40.cost up to �19 million in total. It has been co-ordinated by Basildon

:18:40. > :18:43.Council with hundreds of police and bailiffs ready to take action

:18:43. > :18:47.sometime in September. Some of the Irish Travellers have lived here

:18:47. > :18:50.for 10 years. The children have places at the village school down

:18:50. > :18:54.the road, but they don't have planning permission to live on what

:18:55. > :19:01.is officially Green Belt land. That is why most people living near this

:19:01. > :19:04.site are in favour of the eviction. For years it was just a small rural

:19:04. > :19:08.village near Billericay surrounded by countryside and really making

:19:08. > :19:12.the news. It was the Travellers' site on its doorstep that put it on

:19:12. > :19:17.the map. In front of a TV camera, that is one subject people here

:19:17. > :19:20.avoid talking about. Many villagers you talk to here have strong views.

:19:20. > :19:25.They feel they have been let down over many years by the local

:19:25. > :19:29.council, and they say the police. They won the eviction to go ahead

:19:29. > :19:34.as soon as possible. But when it comes to appearing on camera,

:19:34. > :19:38.people are very reluctant, for fear, they say, of reprisals. Tree

:19:38. > :19:42.surgeon John Rogers is prepared to speak out. He lives around a

:19:42. > :19:46.quarter of a mile from Dale Farm. Grey's Hill has been his home for

:19:46. > :19:53.35 years. There is a lot of anger but people are too frightened to

:19:53. > :19:55.speak out because they are dismissed as racist. When the

:19:55. > :19:59.Travellers talked about human rights, the council backed off and

:19:59. > :20:03.they are continuing to back off. They win the propaganda war down

:20:03. > :20:07.the line. They have do-gooders on their side to don't live in the

:20:07. > :20:12.area saying how wonderful they are. Some of them are all right, but

:20:12. > :20:16.there are a lot that are not. you think the eviction will go

:20:16. > :20:21.ahead? I see around a third of the side being removed, or maybe two-

:20:21. > :20:27.thirds of it, and leaving the third they have declared legal, and that

:20:27. > :20:31.won't solve the problem. So no end in sight. I don't see an end to it,

:20:32. > :20:36.no. Basildon Council have failed the residents of Crays Hill in a

:20:36. > :20:39.big way and they cannot put it right now. For the villagers of

:20:39. > :20:42.Crays Hill this has been a long drawn-out saga with many false

:20:42. > :20:52.dawns. Their attitude to this threatened mass evictions seems to

:20:52. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :20:58.be, we will believe it when we see Let's talk to John Baron, the MP

:20:58. > :21:02.for this area. He is in Westminster. Thank you for joining us. There has

:21:02. > :21:06.been heavyweight support for the Travellers today, two bishops and

:21:06. > :21:14.Vanessa Redgrave turning up. We know how expensive this eviction

:21:14. > :21:18.could turn out to be. I used to shore it is worth it? Yes. I am.

:21:18. > :21:21.Are you sure it is worth it? Catholic Church has been this

:21:21. > :21:24.differs in its support for the track -- Travellers and I would

:21:24. > :21:27.like them to concentrate on the difference between right and wrong

:21:27. > :21:32.and not support that Travellers simply because they are Catholics.

:21:32. > :21:36.The bottom line is that they have done wrong, and the courts agree.

:21:36. > :21:40.If we don't apply the law equally and fairly, the law-abiding

:21:40. > :21:46.majority will be discriminated against, which is clearly wrong.

:21:46. > :21:50.But it seems to boil down to an issue of human rights versus an

:21:51. > :21:55.issue of planning. Really, which one is more important, when a

:21:55. > :21:58.community is broken up, as Vanessa Redgrave said to me earlier, is it

:21:58. > :22:03.really right that that should happen? The answer is yes because

:22:03. > :22:08.these people have broken the law. It is as simple as that. If we

:22:08. > :22:14.didn't enforce the law, the people would say quite rightly, what price

:22:14. > :22:17.law and order? The big people, or the big errors and crimes could get

:22:18. > :22:23.away with it but the small ones would be penalised. That is clearly

:22:23. > :22:26.wrong. The law must apply equally to everyone. This is an issue not

:22:26. > :22:31.of human rights or civil liberties but an issue of simply the fact

:22:31. > :22:35.that these people broke the law. They built on green belt land that

:22:35. > :22:39.they shouldn't have. We don't allow anybody else to do that in the area.

:22:39. > :22:43.Why should we allow these people to do it? That is just saying

:22:43. > :22:50.everybody in a committee should abide by the same set of rules and

:22:50. > :22:54.laws, and that is why we are determined to see the law enforced.

:22:54. > :22:57.You have spoken to me before about asking the Travellers to leave

:22:57. > :23:02.peacefully. It doesn't look like they are planning to do that, and

:23:02. > :23:07.it will go down to the wire now, won't it? Unfortunately yes. Let's

:23:07. > :23:10.be clear about this: No one wants to see the misery of a forced

:23:10. > :23:15.eviction, but the ball clearly now is in the Travellers' court. If

:23:15. > :23:20.they left peacefully, there would be no forced eviction, and the law

:23:20. > :23:24.would be reinforced, but at the end of the day, as I say, the board is

:23:24. > :23:30.in their court. It is up to them now, and it is my sincere hope that

:23:30. > :23:35.even at this late hour, they abide by that and move off peacefully. As

:23:35. > :23:39.I say, nobody in the aerial wants to see a forced eviction, but at

:23:39. > :23:44.the end of the day, the law has to be enforced, otherwise we are

:23:44. > :23:49.discriminating against the law- abiding majority. Thank you. I will

:23:49. > :23:52.now speak to Jake Fulton from camp constant, which was set up over the

:23:52. > :23:57.weekend by supporters of the Travellers. You don't live at this

:23:57. > :24:01.site. Why are you supporting the Travellers? Many of us have moved

:24:01. > :24:05.here in order to try to help prevent a totally unnecessary

:24:05. > :24:09.eviction, to be honest. The traveller's own the land and water

:24:09. > :24:13.under government guidance in 1994 when Travellers were told to settle

:24:13. > :24:18.down -- bought it under government guidance. Now we have �80 million

:24:18. > :24:22.spent on making people homeless. You are building barricades. How

:24:22. > :24:28.far could this go? Could it get violent? There is a possibility,

:24:28. > :24:32.but we feel that from anyone who has experienced a traveller

:24:32. > :24:35.eviction, the real violence comes from the bailiffs. We are here to

:24:35. > :24:40.set up human rights monitoring to ensure the bailiffs comply with

:24:40. > :24:48.regulations set down by the un and other bodies. Thank you for talking

:24:48. > :24:53.On the whole the Bank Holiday weekend was disappointing although

:24:53. > :24:56.it did improve. We have pictures from viewers in Norfolk, this is

:24:56. > :25:01.Clacton on Sea, showing it was rather cloudy Bay yesterday but

:25:01. > :25:05.people got out and about and enjoyed the beach. Today we have

:25:05. > :25:08.had a lot of clout. It might surprise you to know we have high

:25:09. > :25:14.pressure right over us at the moment, but a lot of cloud trapped

:25:14. > :25:19.beneath it. This was the scene at 5:00pm this evening. Tonight, a

:25:19. > :25:23.cloudy end to the day, mainly dry, but one or two showers about around

:25:23. > :25:27.the north Norfolk coast. For the first half of the night, then, we

:25:27. > :25:30.could see one of two of those still lurking. The rest of us dry and

:25:30. > :25:34.very cloudy, but one or two clear intervals developing the further

:25:34. > :25:39.west you are. Temperatures in single figures, eight degrees, 46

:25:39. > :25:45.Fahrenheit, further east, 10 or 11 with a light north-westerly wind.

:25:45. > :25:49.For tomorrow, the high pressure is fairly close by. It is to the

:25:49. > :25:52.north-west of us. You will see that weather feature there. That will

:25:52. > :25:56.produce quite a lot of cloud and unfortunately it looks as if

:25:56. > :26:00.tomorrow will be a fairly cloudy day. There will be brighter spells,

:26:00. > :26:04.and you will see on the chart where they tend to be, perhaps in the

:26:04. > :26:08.north to start with. Still also cloud right on the north coast,

:26:08. > :26:15.which could produce an isolated show off. Most places staying true

:26:15. > :26:18.-- drive. 16 degrees perhaps at best under the sky -- cloud. 18

:26:18. > :26:23.degrees with northerly winds. In the afternoon it strays -- stays

:26:23. > :26:27.dry and cloudy with brighter spells. The pressure charged once more for

:26:27. > :26:31.the rest of the week, this low right over Iceland will push this

:26:31. > :26:35.weather front towards us. A high- pressure stilling control for most

:26:35. > :26:40.of the week, so it looks like a fine week. Warmer air coming

:26:40. > :26:43.through as well, and southerly winds. Depending on the speed of

:26:43. > :26:50.that low, we could see more unsettled weather, perhaps into the

:26:50. > :27:00.second half of the week Park, possibly with the return of showers.

:27:00. > :27:04.Thank you. The top stories: Actress Vanessa Redgrave has come to the

:27:04. > :27:09.Dale Farm Travellers' side to support them in their case against

:27:09. > :27:13.eviction. Gareth has been covering the story for years and we are now

:27:14. > :27:17.in the endgame. What you think will happen? In all the years I have

:27:17. > :27:21.been coming here I never expected to win at -- meet a Hollywood

:27:21. > :27:26.actress as Dale Farm. For all the high-profile supporters and the

:27:27. > :27:29.protest comes being set up, I don't think it will make much difference.

:27:29. > :27:33.I don't think the court hearing tomorrow will make a difference
