:00:35. > :00:39.huge operation. �18 million buys a lot of security contractors and
:00:39. > :00:44.police. This could have been better spent supporting this community,
:00:44. > :00:46.rather than trying to destroy it. In court: the family of four men
:00:46. > :00:56.accused of being slave-drivers. And the region's retailers shrug
:00:56. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:05.off the threat from the newest and biggest shopping centre.
:01:05. > :01:08.How law. Experts in counter- terrorism from Britain are in Kenya
:01:08. > :01:12.tonight helping in the search for a holidaymaker from Hertfordshire who
:01:12. > :01:16.was kidnapped at the weekend. Judith Tebbutt from Bishops
:01:16. > :01:21.Stortford is believed to be an hands of Somali gangsters. Her
:01:21. > :01:26.husband David was murdered at their holiday chalet not far from the
:01:26. > :01:30.Kenyan border with Somalia. There are unconfirmed reports tonight
:01:30. > :01:36.that UK Special forces have been dispatched to search for her.
:01:36. > :01:41.Eight, that shows no sign of ending. A husband shot dead and a wife held
:01:42. > :01:46.captive. Back in the UK, the wider family remained in limbo. Friends
:01:47. > :01:52.are holding their breath, waiting for news. It is unimaginable what
:01:52. > :01:56.she must be going through. I think she probably knows that David is at
:01:56. > :02:02.least badly injured, if not dead. Terrible things must be going
:02:02. > :02:09.through her mind about what will happen to her. I can only hope it
:02:09. > :02:13.resolves well and she gets release. Today, it emerged that she works at
:02:13. > :02:17.this hospital. In a statement, they described her as a dedicated social
:02:17. > :02:22.worker who has been with them for seven years. They said, our
:02:22. > :02:30.thoughts are with her and her family at this time. David Tebbutt
:02:30. > :02:37.was described as an adventurer, but not one to take unnecessary risks.
:02:37. > :02:42.It is almost exactly a year since this man's own family hit trouble
:02:42. > :02:48.when they were driven into the path of Kenyan warlords. This black car
:02:49. > :02:52.drove up beside us with six men with machine guns. They look at us
:02:52. > :02:57.and walked around the vehicle, tapping on the windows. All the
:02:57. > :03:02.time, we were getting more and more scared. We felt that if anything
:03:02. > :03:06.was going to upset them, they would have shot as there and then. We
:03:06. > :03:14.were truly skier. He says tourists are not being warned enough about
:03:14. > :03:19.the risks. When the advertising �3,000 holidays, they don't say
:03:19. > :03:23.anything about the threat of violence. It is only when things
:03:23. > :03:29.like this kidnap and murder come to light that it brings to home -- it
:03:29. > :03:38.brings it home to people. That is what made me feel compelled to
:03:39. > :03:42.contact you today. At the family home of the Judith Tebbutt, those
:03:43. > :03:47.risks are keenly felt. It has been made clear today that
:03:47. > :03:52.the Kenyans are very much in charge of the investigation. But the A8
:03:52. > :03:59.are being joined by a special team from the Met to assist them. Two
:03:59. > :04:03.what extent can they help? These officers will work on the
:04:03. > :04:08.repatriation of the body of David Tebbutt. Then they will head to
:04:08. > :04:13.where he was murdered. This is where he was shot in the back on
:04:13. > :04:17.Sunday night. They will help in the investigation there. The wider
:04:17. > :04:25.investigation involves the Kenyan authorities looking for Judith
:04:25. > :04:30.Tebbutt, his wife. She was taken away in a speedboat. It is probable
:04:30. > :04:35.she has now held in Somalia, less than 30 miles from where she was
:04:35. > :04:44.staying. Whitehall have set up a crisis team to try to establish
:04:44. > :04:51.contact with the grip and possible -- with the group and a possible
:04:51. > :04:56.motive. They have been speaking to two brothers of David Tebbutt who
:04:56. > :04:59.live in our region. Security contractors have today
:04:59. > :05:03.taken the first steps towards repossessing the illegal
:05:03. > :05:07.travellers' site at Dale Farm in Essex. Teams of workers arrived
:05:07. > :05:13.this morning to build a control centre in a field next door to the
:05:13. > :05:19.calm. From there, next week's operation has will be run.
:05:19. > :05:23.These travellers are not staying put. Hours earlier, they had walked
:05:23. > :05:30.into this. Security contractors moving in to lay an access road
:05:30. > :05:35.across an adjacent field. Preparations for the operation next
:05:35. > :05:40.week. Eviction of several hundred travellers living illegally at Dale
:05:40. > :05:44.Farm. Today, the first sign of the scale of the action. Although there
:05:44. > :05:50.is a lot of worry, we are aware that this will be a slow process
:05:50. > :05:56.over the next week. Pressure will continue to ratchet up. There's a
:05:56. > :06:01.lot of money going into this. This is only the tip of the iceberg. �18
:06:01. > :06:05.million buys a lot of bailiffs and security contractors, police. That
:06:05. > :06:12.money could be better spent supporting his community, rather
:06:12. > :06:18.than trying to destroy ed. Plant compounds were erected this morning.
:06:18. > :06:23.From you, the council will control the operation. Eviction day is six
:06:23. > :06:31.days away. The police were here as well, but only in the background.
:06:31. > :06:34.We are obviously here to ensure that the piece is maintained. We
:06:34. > :06:39.don't support any of the parties involved, although we will work
:06:39. > :06:43.with everyone involved to ensure that the actions that are being
:06:43. > :06:49.taken at this site or taking in a peaceful fashion. At the entrance
:06:49. > :06:55.to the camp, some -- community support officers were still talking.
:06:55. > :07:01.For now, life continues within the camp. These travellers still cling
:07:02. > :07:06.on to hope for a last-minute reprieve for the vulnerable and six.
:07:06. > :07:12.This is not the end to this site yet, but it could well be the
:07:12. > :07:22.beginning of the end. Let's talk now to Malcolm Buckley,
:07:22. > :07:26.a Cabinet member of Basildon Council. We heard that an access
:07:26. > :07:33.road was being built. What other preparations are being bid this
:07:33. > :07:39.week? These are the grand lying regulations that we need to comply
:07:39. > :07:43.with. -- ground lie end. We have to ensure there is access for
:07:43. > :07:50.emergency services on and off the site. We hope they will not be
:07:50. > :07:54.needed, but we have to take these precautions to ensure that there is
:07:54. > :08:00.emergency access to the site if require. We saw some caravans on
:08:00. > :08:05.the move today. What is your information on the latest on
:08:05. > :08:11.whether the travellers will move of before the election? We understand
:08:11. > :08:17.a number of touring caravans have moved off today. Two -- before the
:08:17. > :08:22.eviction. We would like the other people to make their way of this
:08:22. > :08:32.site peacefully between now and Monday morning. That is the best
:08:32. > :08:37.way for all in all. Not all of them live in a moveable homes. Some are
:08:37. > :08:43.bricks-and-mortar. Will those properties be destroyed? They are
:08:43. > :08:47.mobile homes with bricks surrounding them. Laws that are in
:08:48. > :08:53.a fit state will be dismantled and stored and the owners can collect
:08:53. > :08:56.them from storage centres at a later day. There is still a lot of
:08:56. > :08:59.high-profile support for the travellers. 63 MPs and several
:08:59. > :09:08.national charities have written a letter asking for this to be
:09:08. > :09:12.reviewed. They want to find alternative cultural housing for
:09:12. > :09:16.these people. How much pressure does that put the council under?
:09:16. > :09:21.have been under that pressure for 10 years. We believe we have dealt
:09:21. > :09:24.with all of the challenges that have been thrown at the council and
:09:24. > :09:29.believe we're acting fairly to the travellers, making accommodation
:09:29. > :09:34.available to them, and acting fairly to the community by making
:09:34. > :09:42.sure that planning law is enforced and that we do not have anarchy in
:09:42. > :09:45.planning matters within Basildon. Four men charged with enslaving
:09:45. > :09:49.workers at a travellers' site in Bedfordshire have today appeared in
:09:49. > :09:54.court. Three brothers and their brother-in-law were arrested at the
:09:54. > :09:58.weekend after a police raid at the green acres site near Leighton
:09:58. > :10:01.Buzzard. Our home affairs correspondent sent this from Luton
:10:01. > :10:09.Magistrates' Court. The men were brought to court late
:10:09. > :10:13.this morning. Three brothers and their brother-in-law were finally
:10:13. > :10:18.brought before a district judge at 2pm this afternoon. The hearing
:10:18. > :10:26.lasted several hours. The accused were arrested following raids on a
:10:26. > :10:32.travellers' site. As they sat through proceedings, members of
:10:32. > :10:36.their family sat nearby. The faced several charges linked to slavery
:10:36. > :10:44.offences. They are convicted of holding others in servitude and
:10:44. > :10:48.forcing them to perform tasks of Labour. At the charges relate to
:10:48. > :10:58.four alleged victims who it is said were held against their will and
:10:58. > :10:59.
:10:59. > :11:06.forced to work. James Connors faces six charges said to involve three
:11:06. > :11:10.victims. The other's face a smaller number of charges. It was stated at
:11:11. > :11:17.the hearing that these people were all vulnerable adults who were
:11:18. > :11:22.being abused. The judge said that the men will appear at Luton
:11:22. > :11:28.Magistrates' Court on 5th December. At that point, their wives began
:11:28. > :11:33.shouting know. Later on Look East, it is mix-and-

:11:49. > :11:52.It has been announced today that 45 telephone exchanges across the
:11:53. > :11:58.region are to be upgraded to provide super-fast broad band. The
:11:58. > :12:02.upgrade will benefit almost 500,000 telephone customers, mostly in
:12:02. > :12:09.Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. It could be available as early as

:24:08. > :24:13.gardens concept, one of many schemes organised by a residents in
:24:13. > :24:19.the Bedford area. Until it was transformed this was just derelict

:24:23. > :24:28.community groups that we have got with us, a lot of people at the
:24:28. > :24:33.council as well played their part. It is just a wonderful result,

:25:12. > :25:16.important. Today's ceremony was a chance to recognise all the hard
:25:16. > :25:20.work in planning, planting and the hours spent dead-heading. Anglia In
