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.
:18:18.:18:18.

apprenticeship roles. For with one in five graduates unemployed, Event

Management students from Norwich City College see the initiative.

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.

these cars are different. They all electric or hybrid. If you thought

:21:45.:21:55.
:21:55.:21:56.

green transport was slow and dull, think again. Today at rocking ham,

:21:56.:22:03.

a chance for businesses to find out what these cars can do for them.

:22:03.:22:11.

Every year we're looking at ways of saving money. Every year, the

because change engine size, C O two emissions. Argue calls cost about a

:22:22.:22:27.

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.

us more? Every year, the Government gets

:22:43.:22:51.

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.
:23:26.:23:30.

electric van. There is also the electric van. There is also the

the cloudy picture. Looking at her satellite image, this is the scene

:24:18.:24:25.
