This man says he was kept away from his Dad, after complaining

:00:09.:00:17.

And at the launch of his latest blockbuster - we talk

:00:18.:00:25.

about Planet Earth with Sir David Attenborough.

:00:26.:00:30.

I would like people to look at the programme, and think, wow, hsn't

:00:31.:00:40.

that extraordinary. After a cold and frosty night, tomorrow will remain

:00:41.:00:44.

dry. Details at the end of the programme.

:00:45.:00:48.

A man from Somerset claims he was banned

:00:49.:00:51.

from visiting his elderly f`ther, because he complained

:00:52.:00:53.

Paul Doolan says he felt his 93-year-old father wasn't

:00:54.:00:56.

A BBC investigation has found that hundreds of people have

:00:57.:00:59.

We are all part of an ageing population.

:01:00.:01:11.

More than 230,000 people now live in full time residential care.

:01:12.:01:16.

But what happens when their new home decides their family

:01:17.:01:19.

It's increasingly common and the effects can be devastating.

:01:20.:01:25.

Paul Doohan's dad moved into the care home in

:01:26.:01:30.

Paul visited him every week for three years before

:01:31.:01:35.

He says it was because he h`d complained about poor

:01:36.:01:40.

The ban meant Paul and dad Terry could only meet at this club watched

:01:41.:01:47.

by a chaperone employed by the local authority.

:01:48.:01:51.

I always had a good relationship with Dad and it was

:01:52.:01:58.

The email banning Paul accused him of unacceptable behaviour

:01:59.:02:04.

I refute that completely, my dad did his best

:02:05.:02:11.

for me and I was out to do my best for my father.

:02:12.:02:15.

I think clarity and being clear with people and you need to give people

:02:16.:02:49.

the respect of saying things to their face if there was a problem.

:02:50.:02:55.

to keep accurate records, only then to keep accurate records, only then

:02:56.:02:58.

will the full scale of the problem be really become clear.

:02:59.:03:01.

A transgender woman is callhng for more training to be

:03:02.:03:03.

given to prison officers, to improve safety in jail.

:03:04.:03:06.

Tara Hudson from Bath was born a man.

:03:07.:03:09.

She admits she deserved to go to prison last year, but saxs

:03:10.:03:12.

she was treated like an anilal because of her situation.

:03:13.:03:15.

I have been behind these bars, I know how transgender people

:03:16.:03:22.

Eastwood Park hit the headlhnes when prisoner Tara was moved

:03:23.:03:29.

from Bristol following a nationwide campaign.

:03:30.:03:36.

Many have been outraged Tar` who was born a man but lived

:03:37.:03:38.

as a woman to ten years had been taken to a men's jail

:03:39.:03:42.

I felt I had no rights, I felt like an animal in a zoo.

:03:43.:03:50.

Around 160,000 people signed a petition to get Tara moved

:03:51.:03:52.

After seven days, the MOJ agreed and she was moved.

:03:53.:04:01.

When she arrived, she says staff did not know what to do with her.

:04:02.:04:05.

Because of my gender identity, they felt they needed

:04:06.:04:07.

The Ministry of Justice inshsts transgender prisoners are m`naged

:04:08.:04:16.

safely and in accordance with the laws.

:04:17.:04:24.

Tara says she was kept in hdr cell while other prisoners

:04:25.:04:27.

were allowed out to do colldge courses and go to the gym.

:04:28.:04:30.

I think yeah, if you have done something bad, you

:04:31.:04:32.

But to be treated differently to other prisoners...

:04:33.:04:38.

What is your message to the government, what changes

:04:39.:04:41.

Better training of staff and more understanding.

:04:42.:04:46.

Tara did not have a gender recognition certificate,

:04:47.:04:50.

the paper to say she is leg`lly now a woman, if she had

:04:51.:04:53.

that the guidelines say she would have been sent

:04:54.:04:55.

But the certificate is hard to come by.

:04:56.:05:01.

And just like Tara, many tr`nsgender people simply do not have it.

:05:02.:05:07.

The government says discrethon can be shown and a national revhew

:05:08.:05:10.

is taking place looking at improvements that can be made.

:05:11.:05:17.

The governor welcomes cleardr rules but says a one size fits

:05:18.:05:20.

And I think a basic set of guidelines is useful

:05:21.:05:28.

but we should assess people as individuals.

:05:29.:05:38.

Maria Millar sits on the Eqtalities Committee, which is looking

:05:39.:05:41.

We have two, as a society, understand better that therd are

:05:42.:05:57.

individuals who are transgender and some who do not associate whth

:05:58.:06:03.

either gender. We need to m`ke sure public services can deal with that

:06:04.:06:08.

and there have been too manx tragic cases where that has not bedn

:06:09.:06:11.

handled well enough, the government has undertaken publicly to review

:06:12.:06:17.

those instructions and more importantly make sure that prison

:06:18.:06:23.

officers are trained in these issues and it is good training which has

:06:24.:06:30.

been lacking. It is guidancd from government, are you confident

:06:31.:06:32.

government is doing what it should be an knows what it is doing well,

:06:33.:06:37.

the answer is they have admhtted they needed to review both the

:06:38.:06:43.

guidance and also the trainhng on offer. They undertook to do that in

:06:44.:06:49.

December 20 15. There has bden some progress but there still nedds to be

:06:50.:06:53.

pressure on government to gdt this right and my select committde will

:06:54.:06:56.

be holding further debates to discuss more generally the

:06:57.:07:00.

government support for transgender people because there is a w`y to go.

:07:01.:07:06.

It is not simple because people are often at different stages of the

:07:07.:07:11.

transition process. So, there is not one size fits all. No, but that is

:07:12.:07:16.

the same for any individual prisoner. Each will have a

:07:17.:07:19.

particular circumstance when they come to prison, prison officers the

:07:20.:07:24.

system needs to be able to deal with that but it is particularly

:07:25.:07:29.

important they deal with it when involving a transgender person. The

:07:30.:07:33.

rates of run to health problems but also tragic suicides that h`ve

:07:34.:07:36.

handled means the government needs handled means the government needs

:07:37.:07:40.

to get this right and the prison service needs to get right. Thank

:07:41.:07:42.

you for coming on. There has been a special prdmiere

:07:43.:07:44.

in Bristol this evening It was made here in Bristol

:07:45.:07:47.

and promises to show us lifd in some of the most inaccessible pl`ces

:07:48.:07:58.

in the world. The narrator of the series,

:07:59.:08:02.

Sir David Attenborough, told Seb Choudhury it brings us

:08:03.:08:05.

closer than ever to the anilals There was almost nothing

:08:06.:08:18.

you can't do now. You can speed things up and slow

:08:19.:08:20.

them down, film from the air and the bottom of the sea

:08:21.:08:23.

and magnifying things... What somebody will say doing this

:08:24.:08:25.

interview in ten years' "Oh, well, back in 2016,

:08:26.:08:30.

they did the last thing." As far as Bristol goes,

:08:31.:08:39.

still the bastion of natural history, you must bd

:08:40.:08:48.

so proud of the city It is the BBC and a series of very

:08:49.:08:51.

remarkable people in Bristol who, over the years, the last 50 years,

:08:52.:09:06.

established natural history here. What do you want people to take

:09:07.:09:14.

away from Planet Earth? I make programmes because it is

:09:15.:09:20.

what I would like to watch. If I settle down of an evenhng,

:09:21.:09:22.

what would I want to see? I would want to see

:09:23.:09:26.

things like that. OK, he made them, he is prejudice,

:09:27.:09:33.

maybe so but that is what I would like people to say

:09:34.:09:36.

to look at the programme and think, wow, isn't that extraordinary,

:09:37.:09:39.

isn't it beautiful and dram`tic and exciting and it is

:09:40.:09:42.

true and real. What a privilege to have hil on the

:09:43.:09:55.

programme. And that's the news from us tonight

:09:56.:09:58.

- we're back tomorrow but for now I will say goodnight and le`ve

:09:59.:10:02.

you with Ian who is on the roof Hello, David. Another chillx night,

:10:03.:10:14.

we will see a few of these over a few days to come. A cold st`rt

:10:15.:10:21.

tomorrow, frost in places, patches of fog, a good deal of dry weather,

:10:22.:10:27.

cloud increasing and eventu`lly into the evening it will bring r`in in an

:10:28.:10:34.

erratic fashion. We all ready have temperatures dropping down to

:10:35.:10:42.

freezing and -1 in places. Those are the values we can expect tonight and

:10:43.:10:47.

if anything, there will be `reas down to freezing or below. Some

:10:48.:10:52.

frost around, patches of fog possible and through the morning,

:10:53.:10:56.

hazy sunshine and the cloud increases as the day wears on.

:10:57.:11:02.

Outbreaks of rain in fragmentary fashion, temperatures up

:11:03.:11:03.

up to around 12. Mick Miller has the national picture.

:11:04.:11:12.

The weather may have turned colder but for many of us today there was

:11:13.:11:17.

abundant sunshine. This is from the end of the day from Oxfordshire

:11:18.:11:23.

Cold and clear by day and clear and even colder overnight. That is the

:11:24.:11:28.

recipe at this time of year. Widespread ground frost setting in.

:11:29.:11:31.

Parts of East Anglia already below freezing. In western Scotland,

:11:32.:11:37.

temperatures may stabilise. It could even go up a feud degrees with

:11:38.:11:41.

thickening cloud, outbreaks of rain and a freshening breeze. By the end

:11:42.:11:45.

of the night, the coldest weather will be

:11:46.:11:46.
