:00:00. > :00:00.Hello and welcome to the Look East late news.
:00:07. > :00:08.In the programme tonight, a council in Essex goes
:00:09. > :00:11.to the High Court to try to stop an illegal travellers' settlement
:00:12. > :00:18.Will patients suffer as ambulance response times for the most serious
:00:19. > :00:23.And up for sale: memorabilia which once belonged to one
:00:24. > :00:42.The leader of Basildon Council says they'll spend whatever it takes
:00:43. > :00:48.Six years ago it cost Basildon Council millions of pounds
:00:49. > :00:50.to evict people from parts of Dale Farm, which was the biggest
:00:51. > :00:56.The new battle focusses on Hovefields, less than two
:00:57. > :01:00.Today the council went to the High Court to stop
:01:01. > :01:03.history repeating itself, but the hearing was adjourned
:01:04. > :01:09.In a moment, Alex Dunlop revisits the eviction of Dale Farm.
:01:10. > :01:13.But first Robby West and the legal fight over Hovefields.
:01:14. > :01:18.Today, building work continues on green belt land.
:01:19. > :01:20.Basildon Council has already secured an injunction,
:01:21. > :01:26.It started last month, when residents of Hovefield Avenue
:01:27. > :01:31.noticed multiple lorries filled with hard-core, travelling
:01:32. > :01:35.Since then, more tarmac has been laid, and more mobile
:01:36. > :01:44.Work has continued over the last three or four weeks.
:01:45. > :01:51.Residents fear this situation will turn into another Dale farm.
:01:52. > :01:54.To stop that, the council have taken a different approach.
:01:55. > :01:58.With Dale Farm, it was about civil proceedings.
:01:59. > :02:01.That's because they owned the land, no injunctions were breached.
:02:02. > :02:05.On this one, we've had injunctions down for a number of months now,
:02:06. > :02:11.Earlier today, the council were at the High Court for a hearing
:02:12. > :02:16.The judge adjourned the case until next Tuesday
:02:17. > :02:22.Back at Hovefields, residents are pleased the council
:02:23. > :02:25.It matters not that they're travellers.
:02:26. > :02:28.It is just an individual, or a group of people,
:02:29. > :02:34.We've made repeated attempts to talk to the people living on the site.
:02:35. > :02:37.Unfortunately, they did not want to speak to us on camera.
:02:38. > :02:40.In the past, they have said they don't feel there's enough
:02:41. > :02:42.provision for the traveller community to live in the area.
:02:43. > :02:47.Nobody that's involved wants this to turn into a second Dale Farm.
:02:48. > :02:49.When the case returns to the High Court, it's hoped
:02:50. > :02:58.answers on how to avoid that happening will become clearer.
:02:59. > :03:02.That legal battle lasted several years and cost
:03:03. > :03:08.Six years ago, Alex Dunlop was inside Dale Farm when police
:03:09. > :03:17.It was a chaotic climax to a decade of illegal occupation
:03:18. > :03:23.They're just coming through the barrier now,
:03:24. > :03:26.they're having bricks thrown at them.
:03:27. > :03:28.As police piled into Dale Farm to clear the site, local residents
:03:29. > :03:33.Local travellers wondered where they would next
:03:34. > :03:38.A once semipermanent conurbation of 80 homes has now
:03:39. > :03:43.Dale Farm, to the right of the existing legal side,
:03:44. > :03:48.But the court battles and eviction cost Basildon Council
:03:49. > :03:53.And so, two years on, the government reinforced the law.
:03:54. > :03:57.Travellers' sites on the green belt, it says,
:03:58. > :04:06.And that the need for a traveller site should be done only
:04:07. > :04:08.through the plan making process, and not in response
:04:09. > :04:12.Those who work with travellers say there simply aren't
:04:13. > :04:13.enough authorised sites, that they're being forced
:04:14. > :04:17.People have to exist, and they have to have a place to live.
:04:18. > :04:20.They can buy their own property, they can put
:04:21. > :04:24.But sometimes, that takes years to go through.
:04:25. > :04:26.And in the meantime, 99.9% of gypsy and traveller
:04:27. > :04:31.One of the landowners at Hovefields has already launched an appeal
:04:32. > :04:33.against the local authority, which won't be heard
:04:34. > :04:39.This has the early signs of a long legal fight which, like Dale Farm,
:04:40. > :04:47.The East of England Ambulance Service should be able to meet more
:04:48. > :04:51.of its emergency response targets, because the target
:04:52. > :04:56.It means fewer people having a heart attack or stroke can expect
:04:57. > :04:59.an emergency ambulance within eight minutes.
:05:00. > :05:02.Our Health reporter Nikki Fox sent this from the Longwater Ambulance
:05:03. > :05:08.For a number of years now, this Ambulance Service has struggled
:05:09. > :05:13.And that's because it covers such a rural area,
:05:14. > :05:16.and has also seen a big rise in demand.
:05:17. > :05:19.I went out with the crew a couple of months ago,
:05:20. > :05:22.and the calls literally came back to back.
:05:23. > :05:28.In 2014, it was fined more than ?1 million for missing targets.
:05:29. > :05:30.Now, since then things have improved, but not enough to meet
:05:31. > :05:37.And that is to get to 75% of the most serious call-outs
:05:38. > :05:44.Now, that's now been relaxed to 68.5%.
:05:45. > :05:47.This has all been done quite quietly, but the trust says
:05:48. > :05:54.We publish it in our board reports, the targets are in there.
:05:55. > :05:57.And again, as we move into the New Year, it's not a lower
:05:58. > :05:59.target, it's nobody nationally is achieving those standards
:06:00. > :06:05.What we are doing this year, what are commissioners expect of us
:06:06. > :06:08.and have funded us to do, is to deliver an average,
:06:09. > :06:10.or above average, position nationally.
:06:11. > :06:13.Those in favour say relaxing the target is a reasonable thing
:06:14. > :06:18.to do, bearing in mind no one is meeting it nationally.
:06:19. > :06:21.But those against say by effectively moving the goalposts,
:06:22. > :06:33.it could make the Ambulance Service look better without things really
:06:34. > :06:37.A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a hit
:06:38. > :06:40.Three people were injured in the incident, which happened
:06:41. > :06:43.early on Sunday morning outside the SugarHut nighclub in Brentwood.
:06:44. > :06:45.A woman has also been arrested on suspicion
:06:46. > :06:50.Stansted Airport has been given planning permission
:06:51. > :06:53.for a new arrivals building costing ?130 million.
:06:54. > :06:57.It will be built next to the current terminal and include shops,
:06:58. > :07:00.better transport links and a bigger immigration area.
:07:01. > :07:03.Work could begin this summer and bosses say disruption
:07:04. > :07:11.Football now, and Norwich City's fading play-offs hopes took
:07:12. > :07:16.The Canaries were beaten 3-0 at Huddersfield,
:07:17. > :07:18.all the goals coming in the second half as Huddersfield
:07:19. > :07:24.It leaves the Canaries a nine points short of a play off place with just
:07:25. > :07:29.Mathematically possible, but highly improbable.
:07:30. > :07:32.In cricket, the former England captain Alastair Cook says he hopes
:07:33. > :07:35.to play more matches for Essex this season.
:07:36. > :07:38.Cook, who's 32, resigned as England's Test captain
:07:39. > :07:41.in February, but as newly promoted Essex faced the cameras today
:07:42. > :07:44.ahead of the new season, he said he wants to be involved
:07:45. > :07:50.I love playing for England, and it's a huge honour walking out
:07:51. > :07:54.in front of lots of people at Lord's or, you know, wherever.
:07:55. > :08:01.A collection belonging to one of the 20th century's greatest
:08:02. > :08:04.composers will go under the hammer in Norfolk tomorrow.
:08:05. > :08:07.The Malcolm Arnold Collection, which includes film scores,
:08:08. > :08:11.his trumpet, and his two Ivor Novello Awards,
:08:12. > :08:13.is attracting interest from all over the world.
:08:14. > :08:22.Sir Malcolm Arnold was a creative genius who wrote nine symphonies
:08:23. > :08:29.But he was also an alcoholic who had a turbulent private life.
:08:30. > :08:39.He was cared for in his later years by a man called Anthony Day,
:08:40. > :08:41.and it's his collection which will go on sale
:08:42. > :08:46.Among the items up for auction, the score to Malcolm
:08:47. > :08:49.Original scores do not turn up very often.
:08:50. > :08:53.Particularly from notable composers like Sir Malcolm Arnold.
:08:54. > :08:58.An opportunity to get something that no one else has got, and, you know,
:08:59. > :09:03.If one had came across an autographed letter
:09:04. > :09:07.by Charles Dickens, how wonderful to have.
:09:08. > :09:14.Born in north London in 1921, Mark Arnold grew up in a well-to-do
:09:15. > :09:16.family of shoemakers and went on to win an Oscar for
:09:17. > :09:20.the soundtrack to David Lee's film Bridge Over the River Kwai.
:09:21. > :09:26.He played this instrument, which is in the sale.
:09:27. > :09:28.This composer and conductor knew the great man well
:09:29. > :09:35.Remarkable in its way, because everything
:09:36. > :09:39.He would what we call composing, seeing him write, was actually
:09:40. > :09:41.just him taking down from dictation what he'd already
:09:42. > :09:50.Also in the sale is Malcolm Arnold's trumpet,
:09:51. > :09:53.two Ivor Novello awards and numerous paintings.
:09:54. > :09:56.The auctioneers are hoping for interest from collectors
:09:57. > :10:04.That's it, we're back in breakfast tomorrow from 6:30am,
:10:05. > :10:11.but I'll say goodnight and leave you with the weather with Alex.
:10:12. > :10:18.Thank you very much. Good evening. Some clear spells at the moment, so
:10:19. > :10:22.temperatures down to around two or three Celsius, the risk of a touch
:10:23. > :10:26.of frost. Through the night, more cloud comes in from the North, said
:10:27. > :10:29.the temperatures recover by the end of the night. A fairly settled
:10:30. > :10:34.period of weather over the next few days. I pressure continues to build
:10:35. > :10:37.in from the south-west. You would think some fine conditions, but with
:10:38. > :10:51.a northerly wind, more cloud comes in through the day.
:10:52. > :10:54.For Thursday and Friday, it looks like a cloudy picture. There should
:10:55. > :10:57.be some bright and sunny spells through the day. Temperatures held
:10:58. > :10:59.back with a northerly winds and cloud cover. So perhaps no higher
:11:00. > :11:02.than 13 or 14. Here is the outlook before the national weather. Friday
:11:03. > :11:02.still rather cloudy at times, with brighter spells.
:11:03. > :11:06.or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s
:11:07. > :11:12.by Sunday. Here is Darren with the national weather.
:11:13. > :11:17.Hello. The weather has been a big news in North America across the
:11:18. > :11:22.Masters in Augusta, for the first time the par-3 competition was
:11:23. > :11:26.abandoned, the storms moving away and sunshine windy for a while.
:11:27. > :11:30.Temperatures about 17, which is on a par with what we had today in the
:11:31. > :11:33.south-east of Wales, blue skies around here. That's from one of our
:11:34. > :11:36.weather watchers. More sunshine over the next few days. Little or no rain
:11:37. > :11:38.once again,
