:00:13. > :00:13.Tonight, tracking down the flytippers

:00:14. > :00:17.It actually makes me even more determined to look harder and wider

:00:18. > :00:20.for that one piece of post with the names so we can

:00:21. > :00:27.Mike Dilger looks at extreme solutions to littering.

:00:28. > :00:29.How would you feel seeing your name on the Internet?

:00:30. > :00:39.If my kids grow up later in life and they look on Google

:00:40. > :00:41.and put my name in there, that is what will come up.

:00:42. > :00:44.And a message from the Syrian family who have made their home

:00:45. > :00:48.I'm very grateful for the people who have helped us and everything,

:00:49. > :01:04.Parts of the British countryside are becoming a dumping

:01:05. > :01:15.It is illegal and costs millions of pounds a year to clear up.

:01:16. > :01:19.It does not take a genius to realise that does not belong here.

:01:20. > :01:23.So we set about trying to catch a fly-tipper in act.

:01:24. > :01:25.We set up our secret cameras in one of the West's

:01:26. > :01:38.Prepare to be disgusted at what some people dump.

:01:39. > :01:50.Fly-tipping is not a new problem but it's getting worse in the West,

:01:51. > :02:02.It costs councils in England an estimated ?50 million a year

:02:03. > :02:04.to clear up and private landowners a staggering ?150 million.

:02:05. > :02:07.Money which comes out of their pockets.

:02:08. > :02:11.Could be electrical goods, fridges, freezers,

:02:12. > :02:18.Ian Exton runs Mount Farm in Gloucestershire.

:02:19. > :02:23.He is at his wits end with fly-tipping every week.

:02:24. > :02:28.We have to clear the rubbish out of the way, speak to the council

:02:29. > :02:33.about that, wait for them to clear it, time that we lose.

:02:34. > :02:38.And with farming we have to do the job on that day.

:02:39. > :02:43.We might have something which can help him.

:02:44. > :02:47.CCTV is proving successful in catching those responsible

:02:48. > :02:50.for fly-tipping and as this is a prime spot, what better place

:02:51. > :02:55.to install Inside Out's very own secret cameras?

:02:56. > :02:59.Hopefully we can catch someone in the act.

:03:00. > :03:05.Waste dumped here comes in all shapes and sizes.

:03:06. > :03:10.You've found some pretty strange things left as well?

:03:11. > :03:13.Probably the strangest thing or item that we found part

:03:14. > :03:18.of in the countryside was right at this spot here.

:03:19. > :03:24.One night the police came over to me and said the public

:03:25. > :03:31.In the West fly-tipping has increased by a third

:03:32. > :03:33.in the past three years, from just over 20,000 incidents

:03:34. > :03:39.Hard evidence is needed for a prosecution and

:03:40. > :03:46.Take this example from the Environment Agency.

:03:47. > :03:49.A builder decided to dump and burn waste from his site

:03:50. > :04:04.Bernard Molloy he was successfully prosecuted and is now banned

:04:05. > :04:08.Pretty tricky considering he is a builder.

:04:09. > :04:10.Back at Mount Farm in Gloucestershire,

:04:11. > :04:13.I wonder how our hidden cameras are getting on.

:04:14. > :04:30.The council putting up a sign to try and prevent fly-tippers.

:04:31. > :04:47.A couple of days later, we catch something

:04:48. > :04:51.Two men then appeared to unlock the tailgate.

:04:52. > :04:57.The next morning, we get a call from Ian the farmer.

:04:58. > :04:59.The worst case of fly-tipping his ever seen.

:05:00. > :05:00.Just a few metres along from our cameras.

:05:01. > :05:03.The council enforcement team are already here,

:05:04. > :05:08.And believe me, you need a strong stomach for this.

:05:09. > :05:33.Somebody has put this in the middle of the road

:05:34. > :05:36.and they just think that's it, it's gone, it's out of their life,

:05:37. > :05:43.It actually makes me even more determined to look harder and wider

:05:44. > :05:47.for just that one piece of post or one delivery item that's got

:05:48. > :05:50.the address on it with a name so we can take these people

:05:51. > :05:54.to court, because this is just disgusting.

:05:55. > :05:59.We have a bag of shoes, I think it's just a bag of shoes.

:06:00. > :06:06.But you never know what could be found at the bottom.

:06:07. > :06:10.They're looking for clues to find whoever dumped this waste

:06:11. > :06:23.and getting their hands dirty is all part of the job.

:06:24. > :06:38.The first bit of evidence, a summons for poaching.

:06:39. > :06:41.Could this be linked to the fly-tippers?

:06:42. > :07:09.This looks like we might have hit the jackpot.

:07:10. > :07:29.We've pretty much got everything we need in one bag.

:07:30. > :07:35.Finding a crucial bit of evidence like this can make a case,

:07:36. > :07:37.but perhaps our footage our secret cameras recorded

:07:38. > :07:48.You can clearly see the truck with the car door panel and safer.

:07:49. > :07:50.We've caught the fly-tippers and they weren't deterred

:07:51. > :07:58.At the beginning of last week, the council came out and put

:07:59. > :08:01.the signs up to try and stop people from flight tipping and ironically,

:08:02. > :08:05.a few days later, probably one of the worst cases of fly-tipping

:08:06. > :08:11.we have had happens right next to the sign.

:08:12. > :08:20.But I think people who do this sort of thing don't take

:08:21. > :08:26.I think they take more notice of if they get prosecuted.

:08:27. > :08:29.A few weeks later, the road has been cleared, but Lucy

:08:30. > :08:35.We sent an invite to the individual asking them to come

:08:36. > :08:39.in for an interview under caution which they didn't attend.

:08:40. > :08:43.I'd like to really persevere with finding the individual and find

:08:44. > :08:47.out what their take on it is, so we will do what we can to find

:08:48. > :08:50.the individual and if they make it to court, they could be looking up

:08:51. > :08:57.to ?50,000 worth of fines and up to six months in prison.

:08:58. > :09:00.The council may now hire a special investigator to track down

:09:01. > :09:14.But as I found, bringing offenders to justice is a difficult

:09:15. > :09:24.Even when there is plenty of evidence.

:09:25. > :09:27.And we'll keep you posted on how that case develops

:09:28. > :09:36.Settling in, a Syrian family's story.

:09:37. > :09:44.I miss my father, mother, brothers and my sister.

:09:45. > :10:03.Tracking down people who foul up our countryside isn't easy.

:10:04. > :10:09.How about trying to prevent them from doing it in the first place? We

:10:10. > :10:17.asked Mike Dilger to investigate. As someone who's a lover

:10:18. > :10:19.of the Great British outdoors, there's nothing I find more

:10:20. > :10:21.depressing than this. It's disgusting, it's dangerous,

:10:22. > :10:25.it's depressing and most I really want to find out

:10:26. > :10:30.what will stop people doing it. For one cigarette I

:10:31. > :10:40.face a fine of ?610. Or, is the answer

:10:41. > :10:51.a Big Brother approach? First up I'm in Gloucestershire, at

:10:52. > :10:58.a wildlife beauty spot I know well. Here in the Forest of Dean,

:10:59. > :11:02.litter is a massive problem, with over 60 fly-tips reported

:11:03. > :11:07.each and every month. And the crazy thing is it

:11:08. > :11:22.could've been disposed of I know and love the beautiful Forest

:11:23. > :11:28.of Dean, but it does tend to get spoiled by litter. How big a problem

:11:29. > :11:33.is it here? We have spots where it is particularly bad and other areas,

:11:34. > :11:37.it is overnight where people have been on Iraq creation spots in the

:11:38. > :11:41.day and left their litter behind. Is there one piece of litter you load

:11:42. > :11:48.more than any other? Think it is nappies. Animals eat the gel inside

:11:49. > :11:54.and then it fills up their stomach and then they starve to death so it

:11:55. > :11:59.is really nasty to find. The eyes are really important. You can make a

:12:00. > :12:02.funny nose but the eyes are the thing.

:12:03. > :12:04.To tackle the problem, these primary school children

:12:05. > :12:07.are designing scary faces, to be made out of rubbish collected

:12:08. > :12:18.What else have you drawn? I have drawn a moustache and a red nose.

:12:19. > :12:25.Says this was on a tree looking down at you, do you think it would stop

:12:26. > :12:27.people dropping litter? Yes. It would stop me dropping litter,

:12:28. > :12:30.I'll tell you that much. The finished faces are hung

:12:31. > :12:32.from trees in litter It's an unmistakably

:12:33. > :12:35.gentle approach, devised by an environmental charity,

:12:36. > :12:49.using something called nudging. Nudging is a behavioural concept

:12:50. > :12:52.which suggests by using positive reinforcement and indirect

:12:53. > :13:01.prompting, you can encourage people to change their behaviour.

:13:02. > :13:05.For the communi-treees, the nudge is the eyes.

:13:06. > :13:13.It makes people feel like they're being watched.

:13:14. > :13:22.Where did you get this idea from. Came from Rotterdam. They put eyes

:13:23. > :13:34.on the side of bus stops and they found the crime rate dropped

:13:35. > :13:39.dramatically. I love what they are doing here. I just hope it works.

:13:40. > :13:44.Appealing to our better nature seems like a good idea. But perhaps the

:13:45. > :13:49.answer is something with a bit more clout.

:13:50. > :13:51.In South Wales they've declared war on litter,

:13:52. > :13:53.putting enforcement officers on the street armed with cameras.

:13:54. > :13:55.And they have a website which posts photos of the people

:13:56. > :14:07.In London, Natalie McDermoth was named and shamed.

:14:08. > :14:13.She now faces a fine of more than ?600 for dropping a cigarette.

:14:14. > :14:21.There were no litter bins around at the time. There was a green box next

:14:22. > :14:26.to me. I put it out of there and then put it down. As I got into the

:14:27. > :14:32.shop doors, this guy approached me and said, I am giving you a fine. I

:14:33. > :14:39.started laughing and said, for what? He said, for dropping a cigarette.

:14:40. > :14:44.He handed me an ?80 fine. I refused to pay it. A few months ago, I was

:14:45. > :14:48.looking through my phone, I put my name in Google and my name came up.

:14:49. > :14:55.I was in the London papers and I was taken to court. I was not aware of

:14:56. > :15:02.this. I was also on the Hall of shame. How did you feel seeing your

:15:03. > :15:06.name on the Internet? I was embarrassed, I was mortified. When

:15:07. > :15:07.my kids grow up later in life and put my name in Google, that is what

:15:08. > :15:10.will come up. Naming and shaming undoubtedly sends

:15:11. > :15:12.a strong message, but it relies So what if there was an approach

:15:13. > :15:18.which could catch the culprit even if the actual act

:15:19. > :15:20.of littering hadn't been In Hong Kong they've imagined

:15:21. > :15:31.a world where litter is DNA-tested and a photo-fit

:15:32. > :15:39.of the suspect created. At King's College London they're

:15:40. > :15:50.using a new technique called phenotyping - which can identify

:15:51. > :15:54.particular elements of a person's After 27 hours of analysis can

:15:55. > :16:21.they tell me who dropped the bottle? Well, we have got a full profile. It

:16:22. > :16:24.is from a male. We have also looked at some visible characteristics.

:16:25. > :16:29.This is what you can see on the screen. Across the top we have some

:16:30. > :16:35.information about the person's hair colour. They are definitely not

:16:36. > :16:41.blonde redhead. Probably more like Brown, dark brown. Down here, we

:16:42. > :16:48.have the eye colour results which is definitely brown. Fascinating. What

:16:49. > :16:52.about ethnicity? This craft shows different populations around the

:16:53. > :16:58.world. This purple group are Europeans. And this red dot is where

:16:59. > :17:04.a person sits who I think are very likely to be pale skinned. The

:17:05. > :17:11.closest match is from Britain so it may be somebody from the UK. That is

:17:12. > :17:15.astonishing. It is time to confess, it was me what dropped the bottle. I

:17:16. > :17:17.did have dark brown hair before I lost it. I definitely have brown

:17:18. > :17:21.eyes and I am British. I'm impressed by how much

:17:22. > :17:23.information they can extract Could this be the way to go

:17:24. > :17:38.after litter louts in the future? I think it is crazy if you are

:17:39. > :17:43.talking about catching somebody who dropped litter. It is too expensive.

:17:44. > :17:48.The result you get can't be used in a court of law. It would be precise

:17:49. > :17:51.enough. It will mean the enforcement agencies will be targeting people,

:17:52. > :17:54.the majority will be innocent. So after all that what is the best

:17:55. > :17:57.way to tackle littering? Well, councils are dishing

:17:58. > :18:06.out more fines and it's It taught me not to drop the

:18:07. > :18:12.cigarette again. I don't smoke when I am out, if I go into town. I don't

:18:13. > :18:16.want to constantly look over my shoulder, if there is not been

:18:17. > :18:21.around, if somebody is there ready to give me ticket.

:18:22. > :18:33.Meanwhile, in the Forest of Dean, volunteers say litter

:18:34. > :18:36.I'm really heartened to see the effort that's

:18:37. > :18:38.going into persuading people to kick this disgusting habit.

:18:39. > :18:41.And irrespective of whether it's the carrot or the stick approach ?

:18:42. > :18:48.So, if you don't want Mike on your case, put your rubbish in the bin.

:18:49. > :18:52.Moving to a new country and coming to terms with a new way of life can

:18:53. > :18:58.So far, 141 Syrian refugees have arrived here in the West under

:18:59. > :19:06.And we've been getting to know one of these families.

:19:07. > :19:09.In a town in Wiltshire, a new family have moved in.

:19:10. > :19:27.This is their mum, Hala, back in Syria she worked in a hospital.

:19:28. > :19:39.And this is their dad Mohammed who is a lorry driver.

:19:40. > :19:45.The council said the flat was empty and unwanted by local families.

:19:46. > :20:09.They left Syria in 2013, fleeing to Lebanon and then Jordan.

:20:10. > :20:11.They were selected to be part of the British government

:20:12. > :20:16.scheme to resettle 20,000 vulnerable Syrian refugees.

:20:17. > :20:19.I lived with my husband, my brother-in-law, my mother-in-law.

:20:20. > :20:32.And this is what they were fleeing from.

:20:33. > :20:34.This recent footage is said to be of their hometown, Idlib,

:20:35. > :20:40.My country was very bad because I could not walk,

:20:41. > :20:45.No electricity or water, it is very hard to live.

:20:46. > :20:48.The British government transported them to the UK.

:20:49. > :20:51.Before the plane went down, I was crying.

:20:52. > :20:53.I said to my husband, why did we come here

:20:54. > :20:56.as we don't know anyone, we don't know anything.

:20:57. > :21:02.When we arrived we found people from the council

:21:03. > :21:08.Wiltshire Council was responsible for helping the refugees

:21:09. > :21:12.adapt to their new life, finding places to live

:21:13. > :21:19.where local schools and doctors surgeries had spare capacity.

:21:20. > :21:31.It is good for the children, for their studying here,

:21:32. > :21:40.Everything is hard in Syria nowadays.

:21:41. > :21:43.My daughter goes to the nursery.

:21:44. > :21:56.There are parks in Syria but here everything is more.

:21:57. > :22:12.When you see the sea you feel relaxed I think!

:22:13. > :22:17.We have lots of neighbours who smile.

:22:18. > :22:25."We wish you a nice life with us here in England."

:22:26. > :22:27.One of these neighbours is Christina Schrager

:22:28. > :22:33.Anwar, my son, every day when we go out he knocks the door

:22:34. > :22:42.Lubana comes here and watches television.

:22:43. > :22:46.She sits on the sofa and you wouldn't know she was there.

:22:47. > :22:49.I tell them about how things are run like the bin problems,

:22:50. > :23:01.Though they are making new friends, the family stay in close contact

:23:02. > :23:20.We buy the ingredients from another town and I can cook

:23:21. > :23:33.I tried to cook some English food like fish and the chips.

:23:34. > :23:40.Now they have settled into life in Wiltshire,

:23:41. > :23:42.both Mohammed and Hala want to find jobs.

:23:43. > :23:45.For the moment, they rely on benefits.

:23:46. > :23:51.I want to work and drive a lorry and be a taxi driver.

:23:52. > :23:54.Our life is good these days but everyone would

:23:55. > :24:03.First, we have to learn English very well.

:24:04. > :24:10.First, you are going to read your paragraph and you will answer

:24:11. > :24:13.questions like we do first thing every lesson.

:24:14. > :24:17.I wish one day to be a translator here from English to Arabic.

:24:18. > :24:33.Steven Cousins is one of many local volunteers helping

:24:34. > :24:40.As a taxi driver, he is preparing them for their driving test.

:24:41. > :24:43.To say thank you, they have invited him for lunch.

:24:44. > :24:45.I was expecting to come for a sandwich or something

:24:46. > :24:53.Mohammed's brother Youssef who has also been resettled in Wiltshire

:24:54. > :24:57.was a lorry driver back in Syria as well.

:24:58. > :25:13.Steven makes it clear that in the UK Mohammed will not be able

:25:14. > :25:22.They want to use the skills they have and there is work

:25:23. > :25:45.The family are off to Minehead beach.

:25:46. > :26:15.This is the first time Anwar has ever seen the sea.

:26:16. > :26:17.The resettlement programme meant the family avoided the difficult

:26:18. > :26:20.journey some Syrian refugees make trying to reach safety in Europe.

:26:21. > :26:31.I am very sorry for them because it is hard and it is

:26:32. > :26:55.Of course, I miss my father, mother, brothers and my sister.

:26:56. > :27:04.But the hardest thing here is to miss my family.

:27:05. > :27:16.For us, for the children, everything, yes.

:27:17. > :27:25.I'd like to come back but if it is safe in Syria.

:27:26. > :27:43.Wiltshire Council has now provided homes to 41 Syrian refugees but many

:27:44. > :27:45.other local authorities, including some in the West,

:27:46. > :27:49.have so far failed to resettle any at all.

:27:50. > :27:56.I am very grateful to English people.

:27:57. > :27:59.I want to say thank you very much, to the Queen and the government

:28:00. > :28:15.There's more from us on Facebook and Twitter.

:28:16. > :28:22.Roger Cook, I'd like to talk to you about money-laundering.

:28:23. > :28:27.Next week, who killed John "Goldfinger" Palmer.

:28:28. > :28:32.Veteran TV journalist Roger Cook is back with new revelations.

:28:33. > :28:36.Have you got any idea how much is involved in this?

:28:37. > :29:06.He said it was hundreds of millions in cash.

:29:07. > :29:08.Hello, I'm Sima Kotecha with your 90 Second Update.

:29:09. > :29:11.A man's been arrested after the bomb attacks in New York at the weekend.

:29:12. > :29:14.28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami was found not far from where another

:29:15. > :29:18.device was detonated in New Jersey this morning.
