:00:49. > :00:52.More than 40,000 people work in agriculture in this region.

:00:53. > :00:56.Nearly 7,000 are seasonal workers, most of them are migrants.

:00:57. > :01:03.Securing poly tunnels on Andy Allan's farm before

:01:04. > :01:07.Between April and June, the seasonal workers from Bulgaria

:01:08. > :01:20.and Romania will harvest 250 tonnes of asparagus.

:01:21. > :01:23.We are trying to keep the frost off the ground with the polythene.

:01:24. > :01:25.For Andy, Storm Doris is an inconvenience but his

:01:26. > :01:29.Within a few years, he fears his 120 loyal EU workers will no longer

:01:30. > :01:39.I will come here for one or two years and maybe it's

:01:40. > :01:44.There's no quick return on asparagus farming.

:01:45. > :01:46.Andy Allan won't see a profit on this crop

:01:47. > :01:55.He wants to replace these polythene tunnels but he said

:01:56. > :01:58.he dare not do so because, in the next two years,

:01:59. > :02:03.If we don't have migrant workers, I have no business, I shut up shop,

:02:04. > :02:06.I cannot find enough local labour to sustain the business

:02:07. > :02:10.and continue picking the crop which I have in the ground.

:02:11. > :02:17.It sounds sensational, but I would have to be packed up.

:02:18. > :02:20.That is the message put in front of a committee of MPs

:02:21. > :02:26.We were already see a shortfall in people wanting to come here.

:02:27. > :02:28.That was massively exacerbated after the referendum

:02:29. > :02:30.with the exchange rate and people feeling less welcome.

:02:31. > :02:33.I think it would be totally irresponsible to stop fully migrant

:02:34. > :02:54.Clearly politics and negotiations will largely determine

:02:55. > :03:01.For more than a decade, they have returned here to help harvest.

:03:02. > :03:08.The next decade will be much harder to predict.

:03:09. > :03:11.More than ?400 million will be spent over the next two

:03:12. > :03:16.to create thousands of extra school places.

:03:17. > :03:17.Essex County Council is spending the most,

:03:18. > :03:24.With 80 million in Suffolk and 70 million in Norfolk.

:03:25. > :03:26.The work should be finished by 2019, and will help schools cope

:03:43. > :03:44.Next door, a new school building is taking shape.

:03:45. > :03:49.Soon, the old, cramped classrooms will be gone.

:03:50. > :03:53.The new school will not only give us spaces that we haven't ever had

:03:54. > :03:55.before, but they will actually let us take in another 60 pupils

:03:56. > :04:01.So at the moment, we have nearly 150.

:04:02. > :04:04.We will be able to go right up to 210.

:04:05. > :04:08.With a growing population, Essex is spending ?315 million

:04:09. > :04:13.to create 13,000 new school places by 2019.

:04:28. > :04:38.The council are responsible for schools acknowledges

:04:39. > :04:40.recruiting teachers needed will be a challenge.

:04:41. > :04:46.I think, in some ways, for the profession itself,

:04:47. > :04:48.new teachers like to go and work in new schools, it's

:04:49. > :04:51.That clearly does not solve the overall problem.

:04:52. > :04:53.There is still something we need to address.

:04:54. > :04:57.Is there a specific challenge in Essex because of your proximity

:04:58. > :04:59.to London and the higher wages there?

:05:00. > :05:03.Back at Glenwood School, the building work is on schedule,

:05:04. > :05:09.and there's already a waiting list for pupils.

:06:06. > :06:13.If we look into the sky tonight, we can't see the moon. But that will

:06:14. > :06:19.all change during the festival. Why? There is a large replica moon that

:08:00. > :08:01.Today, a little bit of Hollywood came to what's

:08:02. > :08:04.left of a World War Two airfield in Norfolk.

:08:05. > :08:07.Tom Hanks is hoping to make a new TV series about the 100th bomb group

:08:08. > :08:11.Mr Hanks himself wasn't part of the visit today,

:08:17. > :08:19.It is a little museum in the middle of nowhere.

:08:41. > :08:46.Now that I am actually here, it takes a while to absorb it.

:09:22. > :09:33.I am hoping that the whole trip, particularly Thorpe Abbots,

:09:34. > :09:36.is just to embue the place and to take it home with me

:09:37. > :09:39.and have a better understanding of the texture and the context

:09:40. > :09:43.And eventually, the lucky few who went home.

:09:44. > :09:46.We have a rich and important history here, and today,

:09:47. > :09:50.the American TV producers saw the fact behind their fiction.

:09:51. > :10:02.Coming up now, the weather with Alex, but from the rest

:10:03. > :10:15.Some fairly lively weather conditions over the next 24 hours

:10:16. > :10:26.with the arrival of storm dollars. Outbreaks of rain out there at the

:10:27. > :10:30.moment. Relatively mild but the wind picking up from the south-west

:10:31. > :10:34.through the night. All focus on Doris tomorrow. Outbreaks of rain

:10:35. > :10:39.but particularly strong winds for our part of the country. Amber

:11:19. > :11:24.belt. A high wind warning from the Met office, an amber one, so pretty

:11:25. > :11:27.severe. Let's see where Storm Doris is right now, only just developing

:11:28. > :11:31.to the west of the UK, in its early stages which is not good because it

:11:32. > :11:37.will be at its peak when it crosses the UK. You can see this hook of

:11:38. > :11:40.cloud which is where the twisting is starting to happen, which is where

:11:41. > :11:44.the big mid-latitude cyclone is starting to develop and it will slam

:11:45. > :11:48.into the centre of the UK during the morning and move across the country

:11:49. > :11:51.through the morning and into the afternoon. Two rounds from this
