:02:16. > :02:25.travellers tomorrow. Detention is An activist has started painting a

:02:25. > :02:31.message for the bailiffs. It reads, danger of death. The traveller's

:02:31. > :02:38.say that they have nowhere else to go. They will be forced to pitch up

:02:38. > :02:44.somewhere else, illegal or not. But the council is making sure that the

:02:44. > :02:49.town's land is secured. We have extended trenches and

:02:49. > :02:57.locked up our gates. Anybody who camps on a non- designated site is

:02:57. > :03:07.illegal. As such we would move them on. We have been responsible,

:03:07. > :03:11.

:03:11. > :03:19.The meeting took place here. Some travellers are fighting. This fight

:03:19. > :03:23.has gone on for years but it could be over in the next few hours.

:03:23. > :03:27.That is the picture outside the gates tonight. What is the mood

:03:27. > :03:30.inside? Alex Dunlop has spent the day with the travellers inside the

:03:30. > :03:35.camp as they get ready for the eviction.

:03:35. > :03:40.Dale Farm went into lockdown last night. We are reduced to see the

:03:40. > :03:49.main gate from the other side. This is the view from the inside. This

:03:49. > :03:54.time, it is very well secured. This drama full of concrete will have to

:03:54. > :03:59.protesters on this mattresses add their sideboard before dawn settled

:03:59. > :04:05.together. They have some basic provisions here. One of the more

:04:05. > :04:11.outspoken up protesters will be at shackled to this drum that they

:04:11. > :04:18.call, the beast. Behind that would be a transit van and a second line

:04:18. > :04:22.of defence. They will have to negotiate all sorts of obstacles.

:04:22. > :04:27.There is this Russian military vehicle here. They have been

:04:28. > :04:31.building up the defences here. Concrete mixers have been going.

:04:31. > :04:39.Even the travelling men have been joining in to build up the

:04:39. > :04:46.barricades. It is a terrible thing. No way is provided for them. They

:04:46. > :04:53.have nowhere to go. This is the main thing we have to protect her.

:04:53. > :05:03.What sort of resistance were you put up? Non-violent? Non-violent

:05:03. > :05:08.maybe. If they get violent, we will have to. We will retaliate. This is

:05:08. > :05:12.the view from the observation point above the main gate. You can see

:05:12. > :05:17.the bailiffs compound where the bailiffs and security guards are

:05:17. > :05:26.beginning to amass. There is jollity here but a sense of people

:05:26. > :05:31.being on edge as we had -- head through the night. There is the

:05:31. > :05:36.scaffolding and people are working away. The travellers and protesters

:05:36. > :05:43.are aware that this is only one corner of the six acre site. The

:05:43. > :05:49.bailiffs could come in through the eastern or certain -- 7 flank of

:05:49. > :05:53.the side. Preparations are underway for the bailiffs tomorrow morning.

:05:53. > :06:01.To about this dispute, Grattan Puxon has been a spokesman for the

:06:01. > :06:06.person and his ADD Dale Farm now. Thank you for joining us.

:06:07. > :06:12.Resistance tomorrow is in no one's interests. Surely they are right?

:06:12. > :06:17.We appealed to the council tomorrow that it can be peaceful. It is up

:06:17. > :06:27.to the council to stay their hand. We have tried to make this legal

:06:27. > :06:29.

:06:29. > :06:35.and have done everything possible to live. -- to have a illegal place

:06:35. > :06:41.to live. The Government has offered land a mile across the road. We

:06:41. > :06:45.have been willing to go there peacefully. We will move out

:06:45. > :06:49.tomorrow and go to that land offered by the Government but you

:06:49. > :06:55.have decided to come in with force and we can do their thing but try

:06:56. > :07:03.to resist. We have to save the children of Dale Farm. Some people

:07:03. > :07:08.are very sick here. You are talking about the children and elderly, but

:07:08. > :07:14.as Tony Ball said yesterday, the safety is the traveller's

:07:14. > :07:20.responsibility. You are putting up the lives of those people at risk

:07:20. > :07:25.are, aren't you? We have the paramedics come in last night for a

:07:25. > :07:30.very sick man. We are asking that they do not bring bulldozers in

:07:30. > :07:35.here tomorrow. They have it in their choice to back off now and

:07:35. > :07:41.keep it peaceful and allow time for us to move to somewhere the Gulf.

:07:41. > :07:51.They still that chance and it is up to Basildon council and not up to

:07:51. > :07:51.

:07:51. > :07:56.us. I really ask, who else needs a Dale Farm more? Who needs this land

:07:57. > :08:03.more than these families? I don't believe Basildon council needs it

:08:03. > :08:09.and I don't know why they are wasting �20 million. Four times

:08:09. > :08:13.United Nations have said this is a breach of human rights. It is the

:08:13. > :08:17.principal, isn't it? If they can't allow this to stay when you have

:08:17. > :08:22.lost all the arguments in the courts. They have to go ahead with

:08:22. > :08:27.it and they have said they will do it safely. You are resisting and

:08:27. > :08:32.that is making it more dangerous. We are protecting families from

:08:32. > :08:36.being thrown out on the road where they will be at the mercy of the

:08:36. > :08:41.Essex police, who in their last eviction pounced on families and

:08:41. > :08:46.were moving them on by the hour. The council has said they will do

:08:46. > :08:52.it safely. They have insisted they would do it safely. We appeal to

:08:52. > :08:55.everyone to see we have no choice but to stand by and stop this

:08:55. > :09:01.happening. It is a brutality and something that should never have

:09:01. > :09:05.happened. Take you very much. The Justice Minister, Jonathan

:09:05. > :09:07.Djanogly has agreed to give so it - - up some of his ministerial

:09:07. > :09:16.responsibilities because of concerns about a conflict of

:09:16. > :09:25.interest. Mr Djanogly has called out of -- has pulled out of

:09:25. > :09:31.insurance work because his children had work in insurance claims.

:09:31. > :09:35.Early this month, was revealed he hadn't declared his children held

:09:35. > :09:43.shares in companies owned by his brother in law. Those shares have

:09:43. > :09:53.been sold and he has been cleared of wrong doing. In a statement, the

:09:53. > :09:59.

:10:00. > :10:04.At Westminster, the opposition says serious questions remain. There are

:10:04. > :10:08.lots of issues here and every time there is denial from the minister

:10:08. > :10:14.or civil service, it appears that they are conceding more ground and

:10:14. > :10:18.raising more questions. millionaire MP when the rock-solid

:10:18. > :10:24.seat of Huntingdon 10 years ago and found himself in hot water with his

:10:25. > :10:30.constituents and local party over his expense claims. He later repaid

:10:30. > :10:34.�25,000. Last year, was revealed he spent �5,000 of private

:10:34. > :10:39.investigators, fearing party members were plotting against him.

:10:39. > :10:46.We were told he wasn't available for interview today. The statement

:10:46. > :10:52.released on his behalf says he only reacted in the public's interest.

:10:52. > :10:56.Later, had agreed sector is come to the aid of the regions unemployed.

:10:56. > :11:06.And the young writer who grew up in the tower blocks of Luton and the

:11:06. > :11:08.

:11:08. > :11:11.running for the top prize in Look East has discovered that the

:11:11. > :11:15.former leader of Essex County Council is threatening legal action

:11:15. > :11:19.against Essex police. Lord Hanningfield was jailed the summer

:11:19. > :11:24.for fiddling his parliamentary expenses. Now his lyres are

:11:24. > :11:26.demanding damages over a separate investigation into the expenses he

:11:26. > :11:30.claimed from the council. -- lawyers.

:11:30. > :11:34.Filmed in his home after being released from prison, Lord

:11:34. > :11:39.Hanningfield was not to know that police were planning to arrest him

:11:39. > :11:46.again, this to -- this time as part of their separate investigation

:11:46. > :11:51.into claims off his other fraudulent claims.

:11:51. > :11:57.A Lord Hanningfield had been told that he could start to rebuild his

:11:57. > :12:02.life. That was until Essex police came to arrest him at his home at

:12:02. > :12:07.6:30am one morning. They can't just go and arrest

:12:07. > :12:12.anybody they feel like. There has to be a reason. On this occasion,

:12:12. > :12:19.it appears the rest may have been unlawful in practical terms because

:12:19. > :12:23.he was arrested inside his house. The police had no right to go

:12:23. > :12:27.through his front door in order to arrest him. They didn't have a

:12:28. > :12:34.search warrant. Laudable and -- Lord Hanningfield was

:12:34. > :12:41.electronically tagged to when he was arrested at 630 in the morning.

:12:41. > :12:46.-- 6:30am in the morning. We would like to have damages for Lord

:12:46. > :12:49.Hanningfield because he has suffered at the hands. In their

:12:49. > :12:54.letter to Essex police, Lord Hanningfield has a lawyer said the

:12:54. > :13:04.reasons for rest are unclear and say they are seeking �3,000 in

:13:04. > :13:06.

:13:06. > :13:09.damages for unlawful arrest in detention, �300 for other things.

:13:09. > :13:15.Controversial scheme to deport foreigners found sleeping rough has

:13:15. > :13:18.been rolled out in parts of Norfolk. It follows a pilot scheme in

:13:19. > :13:23.Peterborough involved in the border Agency and city council. Critics

:13:23. > :13:26.say it may not be legal to deport EU nationals who are entitled to

:13:26. > :13:33.enter the UK. A racing driver who was injured in

:13:33. > :13:38.the crash in which IndyCar star Dan Wheldon macro was killed has been

:13:38. > :13:45.released from hospital. She had surgery to her hand following the

:13:45. > :13:49.crash in Las Vegas on Sunday. It has been a day of delays on

:13:49. > :13:59.trains in and out of Liverpool Street. Power cables failed in East

:13:59. > :14:08.

:14:08. > :14:11.London. Thousands of commuters were Tonight that hopefully things --

:14:11. > :14:17.Network Rail are saying tonight that hopefully things will soon be

:14:17. > :14:22.back to normal. The problem started around 5:00am this morning.

:14:22. > :14:27.Commuters travelling from Ipswich reported delays of 60 minutes. Many

:14:27. > :14:32.I spoke to were not even bothering to travel once they realised how a

:14:32. > :14:40.gram of things well. Network Rail claimed there is no indication that

:14:40. > :14:46.this was down to cable theft. Rather they suspect high winds. As

:14:46. > :14:50.we speak five out of the six lines are working normally. Network Rail

:14:50. > :14:58.claimed there could still be delays getting home tonight. It has

:14:58. > :15:02.apologised but said it will do everything it can to fix the faults.

:15:02. > :15:07.The new non- emergency phone number for contacting police has been

:15:07. > :15:13.introduced in more parts of the region. People in Suffolk and

:15:13. > :15:18.Norfolk can now dial 1 - 0 - 1 to get through to their local force.

:15:18. > :15:22.It has already been introduced in Essex for incidents which do not

:15:22. > :15:26.need and for urgent response. It started as a spontaneous protest

:15:26. > :15:32.against corporate greed on the streets of New York but the Occupy

:15:32. > :15:39.Wall Street has spread around the world. We got up with sumps --

:15:39. > :15:45.local protesters outside St Paul's Cathedral in London.

:15:45. > :15:50.In the thick of it and loving it. Unemployed, from Borrie St Edmunds,

:15:54. > :16:02.their financial their centre of Western Europe. -- the middle of

:16:02. > :16:08.London. 150 people and rising. A fair few of them are from a region.

:16:08. > :16:13.Lawrence is a plaster from Southend on Sea. He has been here are two

:16:13. > :16:17.days and says this is a wake-up call to the world. If everybody

:16:17. > :16:21.comes down we can make our voice heard.

:16:21. > :16:25.We can make the world turn around in a different way. We do not need

:16:25. > :16:31.to destroy the world for political and monetary gain. We can turn

:16:31. > :16:35.things around and make them better. But in between battling the forces

:16:35. > :16:40.of capitalism protesters have a more prone -- pressing concern -

:16:40. > :16:45.the weather. It is tough going but some have come prepared.

:16:45. > :16:52.I have got my laptop. That is not really slumming it, is

:16:52. > :16:59.I do need to contact the outside world and see what is happening. It

:17:00. > :17:04.is very call that night, absolutely. But we have no choice, so...

:17:04. > :17:09.You do have a choice. You could go home.

:17:09. > :17:14.Then what would be the future? Is it just the usual suspects who

:17:14. > :17:20.are down you? I do not see people running up and

:17:20. > :17:26.down smashing windows. I see people at recycling, helping each other,

:17:26. > :17:29.donating. Getting organised and thinking.

:17:29. > :17:39.The protesters claim they will remain for as long as capitalism

:17:39. > :17:44.

:17:44. > :17:52.You are watching Look East from the BBC. Coming up: a writer's block in

:17:52. > :17:57.According to the Governor of the Bank of England we have never had

:17:57. > :18:02.it so bad. The economy is slowing and in this region 200,000 people

:18:02. > :18:06.are unemployed. The East continues to do better than the national

:18:06. > :18:11.average. New opportunities were announced today for young people

:18:11. > :18:17.who want to learn different skills. Kate Riley reports on where the

:18:17. > :18:22.jobs of the future coming from. Today they are celebrating the

:18:22. > :18:28.important news of receiving over �600,000 to fund and turns here

:18:28. > :18:32.over the next 18 months. It will help to preserve traditional skills.

:18:32. > :18:37.Over the next three years and 19 people will be trained in

:18:37. > :18:41.traditional farming and gardening methods. The placements last

:18:41. > :18:45.between six and 18 months. The scheme recruits people of all ages

:18:45. > :18:53.and backgrounds and started in April.

:18:53. > :18:58.It has been an life-saver. With the recession my business could not

:18:58. > :19:02.carry on. We are in dire times in terms of

:19:02. > :19:07.public finances of the lottery is an important part of funding which

:19:08. > :19:11.keeps innovative projects like this alive.

:19:11. > :19:17.�620,000 has been won from the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of

:19:17. > :19:21.their skills for the Future project. It is an opportunity for people

:19:21. > :19:24.want to learn new skills. They can retrain and redeveloped. They can

:19:24. > :19:30.learn something which has historical importance to this

:19:30. > :19:32.county. The next generation are learning a

:19:32. > :19:37.farmer management. The internships are hoped to be to future

:19:45. > :19:51.young people leaving -- sitting at home doing nothing.

:19:51. > :19:56.So an example of the future generations keeping the past alive.

:19:56. > :20:04.Unemployment may be at a 17 year high but it is the green sector in

:20:30. > :20:36.fishing family and work alongside his late father until he was a

:20:36. > :20:42.teenager. He was previously on Look East in the 1980s.

:20:42. > :20:46.It is the only job we know. My father would be happy that there

:20:46. > :20:54.are things happening now. He was disappointed with what happened to

:20:54. > :20:59.the fishing community. I would not have preferred to leave

:20:59. > :21:05.a fishing. I love the job. But unfortunately you have to improvise

:21:05. > :21:10.and move along. This is a sign of the times. A

:22:01. > :22:08.gritty book which has reached the short list for the Booker Prize,

:24:12. > :24:16.But you will see on the chart this warmer, Mid Atlantic air. That will

:24:16. > :24:21.work its way towards us and temperatures will bounce back by

:24:21. > :24:28.the end of the week. Here is the scene on the satellite chart. We're

:24:28. > :24:34.in for a chilly night. A dry, with one or two patches of cloud. Still

:24:34. > :24:39.staying breezy in places. That will prevent some locations from getting

:24:39. > :24:46.too cold. We have a stronger north- westerly breeze where the winds are

:24:46. > :24:54.lighter further west. Potentially two Celsius. A risk of ground frost.

:24:54. > :24:58.Tomorrow, high pressure starting to make its presence felt. But you can

:24:58. > :25:04.see a north-westerly wind tomorrow. So a chilly day expected although

:25:04. > :25:09.there will be sunshine with a risk of scattered showers. A fine start,

:25:09. > :25:15.lots of sunshine across the region to begin with, then the cloud belts,

:25:15. > :25:21.then one or two scattered showers. Some places may miss them entirely,

:25:21. > :25:25.others, a bit of a drenching. One of two locations will not get above

:25:25. > :25:31.single figures in the temperature stakes. Pretty chilly and a

:25:31. > :25:35.moderate north-westerly wind. Through the afternoon, one or two

:25:35. > :25:39.further showers, but towards the end of the day, they will clear

:25:39. > :25:45.away and with those cleaving skies we're in for a chilly night

:25:45. > :25:51.tomorrow night. Cold weather expected. Afterwards, a high

:25:51. > :26:00.pressure system dominating. Lighter winds expected on per stake. What

:26:08. > :26:16.A couple of chilly days. Still a brisk breeze until far stay. Then,
