Crisis meeting over university campus closure

Students and staff affected by the closure of the campus in Southend meet with politicians.

An Essex student union representative says trainees are "really struggling" with their unpaid work.

Detectives say data could help them "pursue other significant lines" in search for Vitoria Barreto.

The robots can pick, weigh and harvest strawberries in a matter of seconds.

Italian, German and Portuguese could go as the university responds to a drop in demand for languages.

Police also believe a boat Vitoria Barreto may have taken is missing a buoyancy aid.

A friend of a missing Brazilian psychologist says she had been struggling with her mental health.

A lecturer says an alternative, fully costed plan has been presented to the University of Essex.

Losing a university campus is described as a "significant threat" to Southend's economy and culture.
