:00:52. > :00:54.People living near an illegal travellers site in Essex say
:00:55. > :00:58.they believe another Dale Farm could be created as the travellers
:00:59. > :01:04.The site is at Hovefields in Wickford near Basildon,
:01:05. > :01:09.More hardstanding has gone down over the past few days.
:01:10. > :01:12.The council says it's trying to stop the site expanding,
:01:13. > :01:14.but it needs more help from the Government.
:01:15. > :01:28.Last weekend, residents of Hovefields Avenue noticed multiple
:01:29. > :01:34.lorries filled with gravel travelling down the road. Soon
:01:35. > :01:40.after, green belt land was covered in asphalt. Large mobile homes then
:01:41. > :01:46.appeared. Jill has lived in the area for over 16 years. She was
:01:47. > :01:51.horrified. I felt devastated and when we saw the amount that was
:01:52. > :01:56.going down there, we knew it was going to be a major development. It
:01:57. > :02:01.has been plotted off and looking at it, it will be a major development.
:02:02. > :02:09.The danger is it will turn into Dale Farm but bigger. Dale Farm, less
:02:10. > :02:13.than a mile down the road, with Europe's largest Traveller site. The
:02:14. > :02:18.eviction of 80 families left 15 police officers injured and saw 45
:02:19. > :02:23.arrests. The leader of Basildon Council says that due to the law is
:02:24. > :02:27.not changing, Hovefields could end in a similar way. The residents
:02:28. > :02:32.think this is going to become another Dale Farm. I share that
:02:33. > :02:39.fear. What we need is a change to the law. Should the government not
:02:40. > :02:43.have stepped in and change these laws? Absolutely. I can only work in
:02:44. > :02:46.the legal parameters and the framework that is laid down. The law
:02:47. > :03:02.needs changing. The government said? For Basildon Council things will
:03:03. > :03:07.keep going round in circles. People have to exist and they have to have
:03:08. > :03:11.a place to live. They can buy their own property, they could put in for
:03:12. > :03:18.planning permission but sometimes that takes years to go through and
:03:19. > :03:22.in the meantime, 99.9% of Gypsy travel applications get refused.
:03:23. > :03:25.Nobody involved wants another Dale Farm but with no clear answers,
:03:26. > :03:28.everyone fears history will repeat itself.
:03:29. > :03:30.There's been a huge groundswell of support
:03:31. > :03:32.for the mother of Corrie Mckeague after she apologised
:03:33. > :03:37.to the thousands of people who've supported the search for her son.
:03:38. > :03:43.This week, police started to search a huge landfill site more than five
:03:44. > :03:46.Nicola Urquhart told BBC Look East last night she felt she had
:03:47. > :03:47.made other people upset because she "needed their
:03:48. > :03:56.support when maybe this didn't have to happen."
:03:57. > :04:03.Dave four of the search of the landfill site. There is a growing
:04:04. > :04:08.conviction that the remains of Coran may be found here. A bin which took
:04:09. > :04:13.waste from the area when he vanished was far heavier than first thought.
:04:14. > :04:16.Heavy enough to contain a body. His mother told Look East she feels
:04:17. > :04:23.responsible for the hurt that will be felt by her online supporters. I
:04:24. > :04:30.am so upset that I have bought over 120,000 people into this with us and
:04:31. > :04:33.I am making other people upset because I needed their support.
:04:34. > :04:38.Hundreds who watch that interview took to our Facebook page to
:04:39. > :04:49.reassure Nicola. One wrote, no apology is needed.
:04:50. > :04:57.Scores of volunteers searched the countryside after Corrie vanished.
:04:58. > :05:02.The man who did then said he and they would do it again. I can say on
:05:03. > :05:08.behalf of 120,000 people that she doesn't need to apologise to anybody
:05:09. > :05:13.for anything, so she needs to concentrate on her own family. This
:05:14. > :05:19.hotel is a base and a refuge for Nicola when she travels from
:05:20. > :05:25.Scotland to Suffolk. Cheryl who runs it has got to know her well. Even
:05:26. > :05:30.now she is worried about other people, but others have taken this
:05:31. > :05:34.journey, they chose to take it and they are going to be heartbroken,
:05:35. > :05:39.but they chose to take it. This is still a missing persons enquiry.
:05:40. > :05:43.Support is now edged with the movement and frustration that the
:05:44. > :05:48.search of this landfill has only now got underway. There is a growing
:05:49. > :05:50.reconciliation that this 23-year-old gunner could soon be found but not
:05:51. > :05:52.safe and well. Farmers across the East have been
:05:53. > :05:55.left not knowing if they'll be paid after a major grain merchant
:05:56. > :05:59.went into administration. Wellgrain, which is based
:06:00. > :06:01.in Cambridgeshire, stopped trading The National Union of Farmers said
:06:02. > :06:16.this could have a bigger impact The clear up operation after storm
:06:17. > :06:22.Doris continues at this Cambridgeshire farm but another band
:06:23. > :06:28.of bad news is now blowing in. Wellgrain used by farmers has
:06:29. > :06:32.seemingly out of the blue gone into administration. The biggest problem
:06:33. > :06:37.of all has been that there has been nothing being spoken about up until
:06:38. > :06:42.last Friday, so we heard from the 22nd of February to Friday just gone
:06:43. > :06:50.where nothing was said and it was rumours and hearsay. The company's
:06:51. > :06:54.list of creditors currently stands at around 300, only two are secure
:06:55. > :06:59.and should get their money back. Most are farmers who could lose
:07:00. > :07:04.thousands of pounds. At Christmas his grain store was full of wheat,
:07:05. > :07:11.it all went to Wellgrain, some of it has been paid for by the last two
:07:12. > :07:16.loads that went on February 21 an unlikely to bring any return. It is
:07:17. > :07:22.a silent matter really. You cannot physically see people losing money.
:07:23. > :07:26.It is not like the flooding where there was a physical impact where
:07:27. > :07:30.insurance could pay a lot of farmers to help and alleviate some of the
:07:31. > :07:36.problems. Here there is no choice available. We have all got to bear
:07:37. > :07:42.the brunt of this. Members who were expecting that income to aid their
:07:43. > :07:46.cash flow and at a time when cash flows are tied and grain prices have
:07:47. > :07:52.not been what they have been in the past, that money was important. No
:07:53. > :07:58.one seems to know what went wrong, but today all was quiet at
:07:59. > :08:01.Wellgrain's HQ. The administrators say they are exploring whether the
:08:02. > :08:03.business has any future. The NFU has a helpline to offer
:08:04. > :08:05.advice if you've been affected. About 120 jobs are at risk
:08:06. > :08:14.at the book printing The company has been producing books
:08:15. > :08:37.for generations and printed Temp Heung-Min has been in business
:08:38. > :08:45.for nearly 200 years. It prints more than 140 million books a year. It is
:08:46. > :08:49.part of the St Ives group with turnover at just under ?70 million
:08:50. > :08:53.but with its share price falling, it has been forced to think hard about
:08:54. > :08:58.the future shape of the business and it has now seen a major contract
:08:59. > :09:02.lost to a rival. Managers say that as a direct result they have had to
:09:03. > :09:09.announce these redundancy proposals and will now start talking to the
:09:10. > :09:14.employees affected. Clays's managing director says he is understandably
:09:15. > :09:18.disappointed with the news and will try to find the best possible
:09:19. > :09:23.outcome. Unite says it will fight every step of the way to defend the
:09:24. > :09:26.jobs of its members and seek to avoid compulsory redundancies. It
:09:27. > :09:33.represents more than two thirds of the workforce. In a statement,
:09:34. > :09:57.Unite's regional officer said: There has been huge investment at
:09:58. > :10:03.Heung-Min in recent years to ensure it can cope not just with huge
:10:04. > :10:07.demand but small-scale orders also. But managers admit these are tough
:10:08. > :10:11.times and having enjoyed a long period of growth in their market
:10:12. > :10:16.share, the loss of a contract worth millions is a real body blow.

:11:23. > :11:25.million believes it will bring huge economic benefits. Down on the
:11:26. > :11:30.ground we were taken on a sometimes bumpy ride along the route. Some
:11:31. > :11:36.sections are well advanced, others just a sea of sand and mud. Someone
:11:37. > :11:44..7 million cubic metres of soil have been excavated. Here we ploughed
:11:45. > :11:49.through deep water. Of more than 150 people working here, 12% are women.
:11:50. > :11:55.In the fields of engineering and construction that is above average.
:11:56. > :12:00.I met 27-year-old Lizzie. She is a section engineer. She joined the
:12:01. > :12:04.lead contractor as a trainee three and a half years ago. I was placed
:12:05. > :12:09.by a recruitment engineering company and fell in love with the industry.
:12:10. > :12:14.It was not something I thought would be an option but once I was there, I
:12:15. > :12:19.fell in love with the charm of it. Along the route there are miles of
:12:20. > :12:26.green fencing, hundreds of frogs, news and codes have been moved. I
:12:27. > :12:32.deal with everything environmental so that can range from the animals
:12:33. > :12:37.on site so we have newts, tree protection, looking at water
:12:38. > :12:43.quality, air quality, looking for spills, cleaning up spills.
:12:44. > :12:47.Everything you consider environment. Laying down 150,000 tonnes of
:12:48. > :12:53.servicing is this year 's big challenge. Progress is good, we are
:12:54. > :12:57.on track, we are hoping to complete by December, nearer Christmas.
:12:58. > :13:01.Hindered slightly by wet weather but we are on programme. The county
:13:02. > :13:02.council believes it will prove its worth in an area where thousands of
:13:03. > :13:11.new homes are planned. Still to come tonight: Olympic
:13:12. > :13:14.gymnast Max Whitlock on why he's training harder than ever,
:13:15. > :13:18.even though he's decided not And the four-year-old
:13:19. > :13:22.with a rare condition, who has to spend 20 hours a day
:13:23. > :13:32.under UV lights. The Chancellor delivered his budget
:13:33. > :13:35.yesterday and I think it's fair In fact, the head teacher
:13:36. > :13:39.of his old secondary school in Essex Carole Herman says Philip Hammond
:13:40. > :13:45.is neglecting the type of school She says schools face an 8% real
:13:46. > :13:52.terms cut in their funding and she has made redundancies
:13:53. > :14:06.already because of We talk to our students about having
:14:07. > :14:10.aspirations, supporting those, you also can start here and become
:14:11. > :14:13.Chancellor of the Exchequer, but sadly Philip Hammond has not
:14:14. > :14:15.remembered that schools need funding in order to do the accident things
:14:16. > :14:16.they do. There was extra money for education
:14:17. > :14:18.announced in the budget, but much of it is earmarked
:14:19. > :14:20.for new schools. Many of those are expected
:14:21. > :14:22.to become grammars. Norwich is one of the places
:14:23. > :14:25.being tipped for a grammar school. Dame Rachel de Souza is the head
:14:26. > :14:38.of the Inspiration Trust chain You have been said to be reported to
:14:39. > :14:43.be interested in setting up a grammar in Norwich. It is critical
:14:44. > :14:48.we do not fall out looking at new ideas that could help our students
:14:49. > :14:51.in Norwich, in this region do better, so we will explore it and
:14:52. > :15:00.encourage everyone to explore it also. We were one of the first into
:15:01. > :15:04.the free School movements and three, four years on, our sixth form
:15:05. > :15:09.College is sending students to Cambridge, Oxford. Do you think
:15:10. > :15:15.grammar schools are the answer to social mobility? The answer is a
:15:16. > :15:19.great academic and well rounded education and every child should be
:15:20. > :15:24.entitled to that, but there are different ways we can deliver that
:15:25. > :15:31.and I think if grammar schools, if it is setup properly, it could be an
:15:32. > :15:36.answer to speeding up improvements. We need to. Look at the results, we
:15:37. > :15:42.are improving in this region but not quickly enough. What about the kids
:15:43. > :15:47.that do not end up going to a grammar school? We're not going back
:15:48. > :15:53.20 years. All the information we have are about the old system where
:15:54. > :15:58.people either went to grammars or secondary moderns. That is not
:15:59. > :16:02.coming back at all. If this legislation is passed, you are
:16:03. > :16:09.talking about a small number of grammar schools and like any policy,
:16:10. > :16:16.it means thinking about how could it benefit Norwich's Norfolk's
:16:17. > :16:20.children. You already run a chain of academies. Shouldn't the money be
:16:21. > :16:25.going to the schools that currently exist rather than building new ones?
:16:26. > :16:30.There is a huge need for new school places. Is there enough money going
:16:31. > :16:39.to the schools they run at the moment? If you look at the last 40
:16:40. > :16:45.years, spending in education has doubled. Yes, it is getting tighter
:16:46. > :16:52.now but that is what inspiration trusts, our 13 schools work together
:16:53. > :16:56.to make efficiencies. We made ?600,000 efficiencies on the back of
:16:57. > :17:00.their spending. We can work really hard to make sure all that money
:17:01. > :17:06.goes to the front line and we do better. It is great education, great
:17:07. > :17:10.teachers, while train teachers, fantastic subject knowledge that
:17:11. > :17:16.will help our children achieve. How we do it is a different question. It
:17:17. > :17:18.sounds like this is a debate will go on and we will talk to you again.
:17:19. > :17:19.Thank you. the big story from the budget is
:17:20. > :17:23.the increase in National Insurance who's been self-employed
:17:24. > :17:28.for about 20 years. and says he's been let
:17:29. > :17:42.down by the Chancellor. It is the cost. It will go. I will
:17:43. > :17:46.have to pass that cost on to my customers and at this time, people
:17:47. > :17:51.don't want to pay more if they do not need to. It is an added cost as
:17:52. > :17:58.a business to me personally. What did you think when you heard about
:17:59. > :18:02.the changes? Cheated, annoyed. Basically you vote for someone, you
:18:03. > :18:08.get told something a year or so down the line, they change their mind,
:18:09. > :18:11.they lie to you. We have all been cheated. Thousands, millions of
:18:12. > :18:20.self-employed people. This will affect a lot of people. Millions of
:18:21. > :18:26.people like myself, we go out, we work hard and we work hard for what
:18:27. > :18:31.we have got so why are we being penalised? If I had Theresa May in
:18:32. > :18:33.front of me now, I would ask, why me? Why is it us?
:18:34. > :18:37.and today, one of our Conservative MPs described the proposed
:18:38. > :18:39.to hard-working white van men and women.
:18:40. > :18:41.He said he will try to get it stopped.
:18:42. > :18:45.Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair is outside a van
:18:46. > :19:00.He is Steven McParland, the MP for the village and he has formed when
:19:01. > :19:06.it comes to getting the government to change its mind over unpopular
:19:07. > :19:09.budget decisions. He is one of a small number of Tory MPs to say they
:19:10. > :19:14.cannot support what was announced yesterday. They need to drop this,
:19:15. > :19:21.it will not have the support from people like myself. They aren't
:19:22. > :19:25.panels are the backbone of this economy, they are opening those
:19:26. > :19:31.small businesses, employing apprentices. We have to get behind
:19:32. > :19:40.them. At the moment, he is in the minority. Most Conservative MPs are
:19:41. > :19:43.saying this is a fairness issue. Self-employed people access the same
:19:44. > :19:55.services as employees so why should they pay less tax? It is a tax rise
:19:56. > :19:57.but the self-employed now see they must pay the same contributions and
:19:58. > :19:59.that is reasonable. There's been an outcry
:20:00. > :20:01.in the papers today, but how much opposition
:20:02. > :20:09.is there really? The government says 60% of
:20:10. > :20:14.self-employed people will not be affected by this and those who are
:20:15. > :20:20.only pay an extra 60p a week and more. I took part in a phone in this
:20:21. > :20:24.morning and we were contacted by several self-employed people who
:20:25. > :20:28.said this is not a big deal, we do not mind paying extra so the
:20:29. > :20:31.government will be hoping that is what happens but this row is not
:20:32. > :20:36.just about self-employed people, there is the perception that the
:20:37. > :20:38.government has broken a manifesto promise.
:20:39. > :20:40.If you know any four-year-old boys, you will know it's very
:20:41. > :20:43.hard to keep them still, so imagine if your four-year-old had
:20:44. > :20:46.to stay in an area the size of a single bed for 20
:20:47. > :20:50.That's what life's like for Ishmail Ali from Luton.
:20:51. > :20:53.He's one of only 100 people across the world who has a liver
:20:54. > :20:56.disease called lifetime jaundice and he needs to stay
:20:57. > :21:01.under ultra-violet lights to manage his condition.
:21:02. > :21:06.Four-year-old Ishmail has spent almost his entire life like this.
:21:07. > :21:11.A rare liver condition called Crigler-Najjar means he eats,
:21:12. > :21:19.phototherapy lights for a minimum of 20 hours a day.
:21:20. > :21:21.Because he's missing an enzyme in his liver to
:21:22. > :21:26.break down what we call jaundice, he hasn't got that at all, so
:21:27. > :21:30.unfortunately because it builds up, it's like a toxin in the blood and
:21:31. > :21:34.as a toxin, if it goes to the brain, first thing they've said is it
:21:35. > :21:38.will go past the ears etc, he will become deaf,
:21:39. > :21:42.he will get some sort of brain damage, maybe permanent.
:21:43. > :21:46.He has to be cooped up in his medical phototherapy bed.
:21:47. > :21:48.He absolutely hates it, especially
:21:49. > :21:52.sister, so he just wants to run around like a normal four-year-old
:21:53. > :21:56.boy and just run around the house and play around with her, but it is
:21:57. > :22:05.The family have a carer that comes for six hours a
:22:06. > :22:09.week, but they're hoping to raise money through a crowdfunding page
:22:10. > :22:14.Our little sister, the seven-year-old, she's
:22:15. > :22:17.not getting any quality of life either because she says, you know,
:22:18. > :22:20.we're basically spending all the time with him, in and out of
:22:21. > :22:25.hospital, so we don't ever get to play with her so if
:22:26. > :22:29.someone can be with him, we can at least get a bit of a break,
:22:30. > :22:31.a little bit of a rest and then be able to
:22:32. > :22:34.concentrate on caring for him even more.
:22:35. > :22:39.It is very likely that Ishmail will spend the rest of his life
:22:40. > :22:46.Frustrating for an energetic and cheeky little boy, but his family
:22:47. > :22:50.say they will do everything they can to make sure he has the best quality
:22:51. > :23:02.The double Olympic gold medallist Max Whitlock is taking a six-month
:23:03. > :23:05.break from competition to get ready for the World Gymnastics
:23:06. > :23:09.The 24-year-old will continue to train full-time
:23:10. > :23:12.at the South Essex Club in Basildon, but says he needs time away
:23:13. > :23:14.from competing to practice new, more difficult routines.
:23:15. > :23:23.He's been speaking exclusively to our sports reporter Tom Williams.
:23:24. > :23:35.He is already on top of the world. At just 24, Britain's greatest ever
:23:36. > :23:40.gymnast. Good. Really nice. But there is always room for
:23:41. > :23:45.improvement. After winning double gold, Max Whitlock needs time away
:23:46. > :23:50.to get better. My target is to go on for another eight years, definitely
:23:51. > :23:54.four years, everything is striving towards Tokyo but eight years is my
:23:55. > :23:59.dream to stay in the sport. I need to take care of my body now to do
:24:00. > :24:04.that and I do want to go into competitions with the routines I had
:24:05. > :24:11.last year. I want to be new and improved. To achieve that he says he
:24:12. > :24:16.needs to work smarter. He will still train full-time but behind closed
:24:17. > :24:21.doors, devising exciting new routines, here's hoping one daring
:24:22. > :24:28.move will be named after him. Is there a lot more to come from you? I
:24:29. > :24:32.hope so. With the new skills I am preparing. I cannot stand still and
:24:33. > :24:38.sit there and be happy with those results. People underneath me will
:24:39. > :24:43.start to try and chase me. Max became Britain's first ever Olympic
:24:44. > :24:47.gymnastics champion at last summer's games and winning gold on Pall Mall
:24:48. > :24:52.and the floor. He will miss the World Cup event in London plus the
:24:53. > :24:58.British and European Championships. He has come from such a high in Rio
:24:59. > :25:03.so number one, level out, make sure his head is back in the game. We
:25:04. > :25:08.don't want to just go and participate and get back to the
:25:09. > :25:14.grind. We want to try to raise the level. He has become one of British
:25:15. > :25:20.sport most famous faces. Last month he was at Buckingham Palace. What is
:25:21. > :25:26.it like being referred to as Max Whitlock and be? Very weird but very
:25:27. > :25:30.nice as war. To go there and be awarded by the Queen, I was so
:25:31. > :25:34.nervous but that was truly an amazing day. He has six months to
:25:35. > :25:35.perfect his new routine before the pressure is back on performing in
:25:36. > :25:46.front of the world. Such a good bloke. Some weather.
:25:47. > :25:51.Spring was in the air today. Some beautiful sunshine across the
:25:52. > :25:55.region. Temperatures hit 16 degrees. But we have clear skies across the
:25:56. > :25:58.region at the moment, that will translate into quite a chilly
:25:59. > :26:04.evening and temperatures will drop away further than they did last
:26:05. > :26:08.night. Lows of around two or three Celsius. By the end of the night,
:26:09. > :26:13.more cloud coming in from the West so temperatures should recover.
:26:14. > :26:17.Still a fresh start tomorrow. The pressure pattern shows high pressure
:26:18. > :26:27.still holding on. This weather system coming the west but for us in
:26:28. > :26:30.the East, it should not spoil things too much. Some good spells of
:26:31. > :26:34.sunshine for the morning. The sunshine will turn hazy and in
:26:35. > :26:38.Western counties, it will cloud over for the afternoon. But not before
:26:39. > :26:45.temperatures have got to around ten or 11 degrees. It is possible
:26:46. > :26:50.temperatures could be higher. The wind coming from a southerly
:26:51. > :26:55.direction and today we had that chilly north-westerly, so not a bad
:26:56. > :26:59.day of work but as the cloud increases, perhaps the few spots of
:27:00. > :27:05.light rain. And looking beyond for the weekend, it is looking a little
:27:06. > :27:12.unsettled. At Len Tingle weather systems coming our way so we could
:27:13. > :27:17.expect Saturday to be the better date in terms of dryness. Maybe
:27:18. > :27:23.cloudy at times but some sunshine around. Sunday will be uncertain.
:27:24. > :27:28.That weather system moving in and it will bring rain and make things feel
:27:29. > :27:32.a little bit cooler. The outlook- cooling down to start next week and
:27:33. > :27:38.some fairly settled weather on the way for the beginning of next week.
:27:39. > :28:27.That is all from us. Have a very good evening. Good night.
:28:28. > :28:29.Oh, the dragon. Dylan Thomas.
:28:30. > :28:31.Richard Burton. Barry Island.
:28:32. > :28:41.The River Shannon. We invented the submarine.
:28:42. > :28:44.with a spectacular Friday night encounter...
