After the battle for Dale Farm, the battle by the television pictures. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
A High Court rules that broadcasters do not have to hand | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
their news footage over to the police. We do not believe it is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
right that the book -- police should go on fishing expeditions | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
and ask for lots of material on the off-chance that there might be | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
something of interest. Welcome to Look East. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Also tonight, turning up the pressure. Demanding a better | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
service for rail passengers. want to improve that journey times | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
and have better carriages with better and more reliable services. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
In the play-offs it is agony for Southend who miss out on a | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
promotion party. And we're here on Rockingham | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
raceway to see how people are saving money by buying cars for the | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
:01:08. | :01:12. | ||
future. Look East and other broadcasters | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
won a High Court ruling today preventing them from being forced | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
to hand over a TV pictures of last year's violence at Dale Farm. Essex | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
Police wanted it as evidence against some protesters. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
prompted violent scenes at Basildon with the police coming under attack | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
from protesters. Look East had a team inside the encampment and film | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
the operation as it happened. Afterwards, police took steps to | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
obtain all footage saying that it would help convict those spent this | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
-- suspect -- suspected of violence. But journalists felt that they | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
would be a risk -- risk being seen as copper's narks. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
The Dale Farm travellers' site was the focus of worldwide media | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
attention. They're just coming through the barrier now. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
Six officers were injured and some were arrested for violent disorder. | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
20 people remain unidentified in relation to violent offences. For | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
that reason that the police wanted to see the un broadcast video | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
footage. They had to go to court in a in about to get it. Today that | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
battle ended when at the High Court judges found in favour of the news | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
organisations including the BBC. The Justice said that whilst there | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
was a real public interest in tracing the persons involved, the | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
speculative nature of this exercise is perhaps underlined by Ben | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
scattered approach. The police were asking for footage | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
coming up to 26 Aug 30 hours when we only it were talking about one | :03:00. | :03:10. | |
hour of violence. This man was one of the journalists | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
at Dale Farm. He spent weeks earning the trust of the people in | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
the site hooked he said it would never trust journalists again if | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
the footage had been handed over. We going to tricky places where our | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
presence is not always wanted. It those people think that we are | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
gathering for the police they are not going to let us end and will | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
not tell us their stories. We become a target. The police have a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
right to pursue their duty to enforce the law and to ask | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
broadcasters for him time to time for material. All that we are | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
asking in return is that when the do that they should be clear about | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
why they want the material, at that material should be targeted. It is | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
not often that I am smiling when it comes to Dale Farm but today and I | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
am over the moon. I think your job is hard enough anyway. I wanted to | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
thank everybody. Their press and broadcasters were brilliant. We do | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
not know whether the message is would have got across without that | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the judge. The police say that they will get | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
double consideration to today's ruling. The Justice said that | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
police should not be discouraged from attempting to obtain footage | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
in the future. Said that it is not easy to do so and it should not be | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
easy. Earlier I spoke to Joshua Rozenberg, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
the independent legal commentator. I started by saying that some might | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
think it is right for journalists to hand over anything that helps a | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
criminal investigation. We all want to help prevent crime but the court | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
was concerned that if it was too easy for the police to get footage | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
filmed by broadcasting organisations, it would make it | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
harder for broadcasters to do their job. That would damage the freedom | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
of expression of the media and thus limit the amount of information | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
that would be available to the public through programmes such as | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
years. The point is, if demonstrators thought that the BBC | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
and other commercial camera crews were really working for the police, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
then it those camera operators would be vulnerable and their | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
equipment would be liable to be confiscated by hoodlums and smashed. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
It would be harder for them to do their job. They would not be seen | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
as neutral. That is something that the judge who led the police access | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
to this information it simply did not take into account. What is | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
important is that they wanted footage shot over 48 hours, not | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
just the touch of cranes or possible crimes being committed. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
They wanted to piece together who might be who. That was the problem. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
They wanted 100 hours of tape. That was over a period of more than 24 | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
hours. The police did not specify what crimes they thought might have | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
been committed. The debt not specified that. The court said that | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
the police needed to do that and to show which cranes they were | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
investigating. They also needed to show that the prospect of getting | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
this information would identify the people responsible. Would you say | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
that this is a test case? It is clear out that police forces in the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
future will have to put much more effort into identifying footage | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
that they need for specific offences, it is not going to be as | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
easy as it has been in the past for the police to get video material | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
filmed by broadcasters. The court said it should not be. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Politicians, business leaders and real users from across the region | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
were at Westminster today to discuss ways of improving East | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Anglia's rail network. New rolling stock and shorter journey times. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
This summit is trying to agree a list of projects to be sent to | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
ministers or funding. From speeding up the inner city | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
line up to more frequent services. Not to mention tackling | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
overcrowding and improving the quality of stations. The wish list | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
is extensive which is why these summits are quite a challenge. The | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
aim is to get everybody that uses railways in East Anglia to agree on | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
the priorities for improvement and Unite buying them. We have four | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
counties coming together who feel that we have not had the right | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
service that we should have had. We want to put that right for the next | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
10 or 20 years. Such as better- quality carriages and more reliable | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
services. The aim is to produce an manifesto by the summer. It will | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
hold the list of improvements needed across the region. At the | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
summit there was a lot of agreement, but with every MP fighting their | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
corner it was inevitable there would be disputes. What we cannot | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
have it is Norfolk and Norwich dictating the rail services that | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
affect people in my constituency of Colchester and north Essex | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
generally. The biggest challenge will be deciding on the priorities. | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
It is clear that some priorities are important because the benefit | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
several different parts of the network. It seems likely that there | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
will be calls to improve the lines through Essex. That's an extra | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
track, and to upgrade at junction. That would allow it more access to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Cambridge and London. Ipswich to Peterborough is also moving up the | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
list. Days after a campaign was launched to improve the line | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
through bed for Show, with new franchises on the way and the new | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
budget for a network rain -- Network Rail, trains have moved up | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
the agenda. Still to come: the struggle to find | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
a job, what some students are trying to do to boost their chances. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
And we have a live report from Rockingham Speedway where we have | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
been road-testing some of the newest cars on the market designed | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:44. | ||
to be eco-friendly. At the enemy's man it fell 60 feet | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
through a skylight to his death at a cannabis factory in Essex. Tran | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Duy Hai died after a gang broke into the warehouse to steal the | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
plants he was minding with three other illegal immigrants. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
When Essex Police arrived at the factory they found the body of a | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Vietnamese farmer, Tran Duy Hai. He had plunged 60 feet from a skylight. | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
He had been caring for a crop under that skylight with three other men | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
when an organised gang came in to steal the cannabis. There was | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
something approaching 3,000 cannabis plants within the unit. | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
The improvised to try to remove those plants, it began. They were | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
not very successful. Men have been sentenced for at the conspiracy to | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
supply cannabis. Police launched a murder investigation into his death | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
that to this day the do not know what led to his death. They believe | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
that he was either running from orgies in the gang when he fell | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
through the skylight. They said that there was insufficient | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
evidence to record otherwise. There were no eyewitnesses to the death | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
so the manner of it is unknown. The inquest heard how what he had left | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
Vietnam to find work to pay off debt. After working in the Czech | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Republic he entered the UK. He came here working towards a better life | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
and unfortunately met a tragic and violent death. Police are still | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
trying to find two Vietnamese who fled the factory which was also the | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
home. The might know what happened to vic mac. | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Two men have pleaded guilty to their involvement in the murder of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
a man in an orach car park. Honorato Cristavao was attacked in | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Rose Lane after a dispute between two drugs gangs. Ashley Brown | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
admitted consipracy to cause greivous bodily harm and Neil | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Whitby admitted conspiracy to kidnap. They will be sentenced | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
later this month. A woman is also awaiting sentence for manslaughter. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
Two companies are in talks to buy their Coryton oil refinery in Essex. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Its future has been uncertain since January when its owners went into | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
administration. The temporary deal that had been running expired at | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
midnight. There were two preferred bidders and one hoped to buy the | :12:20. | :12:29. | |
:12:30. | :12:44. | ||
It is up to be a first for the UK. This Estuary is internationally | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
important for birdlife that and under threat. The river walls have | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
fallen into disrepair. People who depend on estuary are worried. | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
you get the big tides you can see With rising sea levels all defences | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
have all but rotted away. No responsibility for maintaining the | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
river was has been handed to local people. Penney Partnership is made | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
up of councils, businesses and conservation bodies. It also raised | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
the money needed nationally and locally through voluntary consul | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
beat -- voluntary contributions and possibly local levies. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
We are willing to try to find some of the share of the money if you | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
are willing to give us some of the accountability for it deciding what | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
it is to be done. And it is long overdue, according | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
to the organisation that has fart for action for many years. | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
That has fought for action for many years. | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
25 miles of river wall, the partnership many -- certainly has | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
its work cut out. -- cut-out. Norwich City have to do least two | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
players, the striker Aaron Wilbraham and Zak Whitbread. He | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
need 48 appearances in just over two years at Carrow Road. Paul | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Lambert said it was a difficult decision as both had played a big | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
part in the club's success. He wished then the best of luck. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
Southend fans were left wondering today how they managed to miss out | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
on promotion to League 1. They just missed out on automatic promotion | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
and last night went out up a -- went out in the play-offs by | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
failing to beat Crewe. This is the last time that Southend | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
fans will pass through the gates this season. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
One-0 down from the first end, they had it all to do against Crewe. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
think we played a bit too defensively, we should have | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
attacked more. Whatever happens on the day, it would be amazing just | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
to be there. Space was at a premium, any vantage | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
spot would do. Southend only just missed out on automatic promotion | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:45. | ||
and they were not getting any luck. Two balls hit the side of the post. | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
Any optimism was soon extinguished when crew got back in Fund. Chris | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
Barker made it 2-2 on the night, but the Blues could not force extra | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
time. We are leaving the season with a disappointment, but I think | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
there has been progression made with the players and this club, and | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
we have a great chance to progress again next season. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
Having finished 11 points clear of create these celebrations will hurt. | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
It is lead two again for Southend next year. -- lead to. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
On last night's programme we had some good news. The number of | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
people out of work in our region had fallen. It was a step in the | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
right direction, but the fact is that more than 200,000 people are | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
still looking for a job. It is young people especially that | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
her suffering from lack of opportunity. The employment at | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
Minister made depleted day to encourage more people to take | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
youngsters off the dole. Chris Grayling said that he came | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
here in listening mode. -- listening Maude. He visited this | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
JobCentre. There are now in many people in | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
this region and claiming jobseeker's allowance. More than | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
250 are under 25. I have made -- been made redundant twice in my | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
life and it is a dispiriting. But you have to believe that there is | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
an opportunity out there for you. But we have to believe that to the | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
JobCentre plus, we can provide the best help for people possible to | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
match them with the right job and opportunity. | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
This man told the minister that younger people were missing out on | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
work because older people were choosing not to retire. We have an | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Internet consultancy he run 10 and in March this year we take the | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
plunge into confide work experience Younger's, we gave all five of them | :18:08. | :18:18. | |

apprenticeship roles. For with one in five graduates unemployed, Event | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
Management students from Norwich City College see the initiative. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
This employability the event is a chance to take part in workshops, | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
mock interviews and Question Time's worth employers. | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
We have just set up a new oil and gas division, the jobs are | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
definitely there. Do not been knocked down, do not believe | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
everything you read, just go for it. The message to the students is be | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
confident. Dany years, Southend Pier has not | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
enjoyed the best of luck. It has been ravaged by fire more than once | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
and damaged by passing vessels. To date, something to celebrate. It | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
involved a high-tech steel structure, a giant crane, and some | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
pinpoint measurements. We are more than one mile out, this | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
is the longest appear in the world, and it is fragile. It is heavy | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Engineering with a gentle touch. A big moment for the experts. This is | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it is very exciting to be here. The | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
enthusiasm every up -- of everyone here is great. We are delighted to | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
be here. A bullet offset? Absolutely, no doubt at all. | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
The building will be used as a cultural centre. Designed by a team | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
from Scandinavia to resemble a wave, it has cost �3 million. The council | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
says it is the type of facility locals said they wanted, and is | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
worth every penny. It is money that well-spent. If it all on the peer | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
over the years has dropped. This all bring it back -- the fit for | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
all on the Pier. Many people used to come down here at the summertime, | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
there was not a lot to do, now there will be. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Test will need to be carried out to make sure that they would take the | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
weight. Even then, that weight had to be eased down incredibly slowly, | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
just a 10th of an nth -- 10th of an inch a minute. The building will | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
now be fitted out, officials hope it will open in July, just in time | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
tha their arrival of the Olympic torch relay. | :21:00. | :21:10. | |
What an awesome looking structure. If you have ever wondered what cars | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
will be like in the future, there were plenty of clues on show today | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
-- clues on show today at Rockingham Speedway. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
They were showing off the latest eco-friendly cars. There were | :21:25. | :21:35. | |
:21:35. | :21:36. | ||
plenty of electric cars. 100 cars of all shapes and sizes. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
They look familiar, the manufacturers are familiar, but | :21:40. | :21:45. | |

quarter of a million pounds a year -- our vehicles. | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
This is far from a family car, but for City-based business it is an | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
attractive prospect. But could save in the company's cost the rest of | :22:39. | :22:43. | |

money from a fuel duty and road tax. But last year, many of the cars and | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
the UK were sought environmentally friendly that they were exempt from | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
road tax. Expects say that the government will have to find other | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
ways of recovering that lost revenue. Environmentally charities | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
say there is no sign of that yet. This year, they announced a grant | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
for plug-in vans. You can get up to 8,000 pence off the cost of an | :23:16. | :23:26. | |

can just pull back can be go. Something called the Sun tried to | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
keep out today. Certainly fairly cool conditions | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
for their today on a whole. We are between two weather fronts right | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
now. You can see this area of low pressure, then we are in the spare | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the cloudy picture. Looking at her satellite image, this is the scene | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
about an hour ago. We could just see some odd spot of light rain or | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
drizzle for a there is thick cloud. Mainly dry, cloudy conditions. | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
Recently we are free of frost, at least for tonight. The when | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
Speedwell tend to get up this evening and overnight. There will | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
be more of a moderate East to north-easterly breeze through the | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
night. A windier day tomorrow, it does look fairly cloudy and we | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
could see some rain developing later. One are to brighter | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
intervals to start the day, maybe some sunshine. Temperatures should | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
still climb into the teens. Looking at our daytime highs, tomorrow | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
about 14 or 15 degrees. In terms of when so, there will be more of a | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
moderate north-easterly. Through the afternoon, there is a chance of | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
showery rain pretty much everywhere. Further north it looks try to start | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
with, then it looks -- then it moves steadily northwards. Looking | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
ahead to the weekend, we have any area of low pressure which will | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
move up from the south. A little uncertainty over the timing of this | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
theory of low-pressure, but it will bring some wet weather into the | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
weekend. It will be dry to start with, that showery rain moving end. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
On Saturday, the bulk of the day does look try, though it will turn | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
cloudy and we are expecting rain to develop on the area of low pressure. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Some of that could be on the heavy side, perhaps producing thunder | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
later on. NT's Sunday, it looks drier and there is a chance of one | :26:05. | :26:12. | |
or two showers, mainly on the light side. Then we have any area of | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
pressure building up. Our average wind speeds were 18 miles per ever. | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
For Monday and Tuesday it will be slightly wonder. -- slightly | :26:25. | :26:35. | |
:26:35. | :26:36. | ||
windier. It looks like we are free of of frost, on Thursday night we | :26:36. | :26:46. | |
:26:46. | :26:49. | ||
have -- tonight, we have an barometer reading for you. | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
I think those rain symbols are getting over and used. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
