:01:00. > :01:09.strike over pay. It is the first time both unions have come together
:01:10. > :01:19.to take coordinated action. Staff on this picket line in Oxford want

:02:12. > :02:17.second most expensive place to live in the country after London so it
:02:18. > :02:21.becomes a bit of a struggle. Three unions have come together to

:02:28. > :02:33.were out supporting university staff today. How much impact did the
:02:34. > :02:42.strike have? I have not noticed anything, I have had classes as

:05:01. > :05:03.has been closed since March. Everyone is annoyed about it, there
:05:04. > :05:11.is nothing that you can do and nothing that you can say. When you
:05:12. > :05:20.apply for the licence, is it fit for purpose? This section was blocked
:05:21. > :05:27.seven months ago. There are delays in the repairs caused by the
:05:28. > :05:33.investigation into what happened. We think what happened to the wall that
:05:34. > :05:40.fell down was caused by the very wet summer we had last year, the clay
:05:41. > :05:48.soil is very susceptible to shrinking. This is one of the
:05:49. > :05:55.reasons it has cost ?500,000 more than expected. When they started to
:05:56. > :06:03.do the work here they found this piece which had been mended 100
:06:04. > :06:11.years ago which could mean the was a problem a century ago. Over at the

:09:07. > :09:09.part of the performance earlier, why have you decided to include science
:09:10. > :09:16.in this year's Halloween celebrations? It is to show people

:10:56. > :10:58.launched tomorrow to increase the early diagnosis of pancreatic
:10:59. > :11:01.cancer, the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Almost
:11:02. > :11:05.8,000 people a year die from that particular form of cancer. Figures
:11:06. > :11:07.released this week by the Office for National Statistics showed the
:11:08. > :11:10.five`year survival rate for those diagnosed with the 21 most common
:11:11. > :11:16.cancers, and pancreatic cancer is bottom of the list. If diagnosed
:11:17. > :11:21.with breast cancer, there is an 85% chance of surviving for five years.
:11:22. > :11:27.Those with lung cancer have only an 11% chance of living for that
:11:28. > :11:31.period. But trailing behind all others on the list for surviving for
:11:32. > :11:36.five years is pancreatic cancer, at just 5%. As the awareness month gets
:11:37. > :11:39.underway, Ena Miller has been to meet two people with two very
:11:40. > :11:50.different stories about their experiences of pancreatic cancer. I
:11:51. > :11:56.saw a difference GP and he thought I had a stomach ulcer and sent me for
:11:57. > :12:02.a gas `` gastroscopy. I was told that I had interoperable, incurable
:12:03. > :12:06.pancreatic cancer. It is called the silent cancer. When Susan Ross was
:12:07. > :12:10.that I is closed with it, her love of pottery was the only thing that
:12:11. > :12:21.kept her going. `` diagnosed with it. I had the tumour growing in the
:12:22. > :12:26.four up to 20 years. It is a killer. I was and am incredibly lucky. It
:12:27. > :12:31.was not the same happy ending for Audrey Saunders' and daughter who
:12:32. > :12:36.died of the disease. Because of her age, they dismissed the fact it
:12:37. > :12:41.could be anything too serious, but within the next three months, went
:12:42. > :12:45.for ten different visits to the GP, complaining that she was feeling
:12:46. > :12:51.notions and sick and they discovered an inoperable tumour. She remained
:12:52. > :12:57.calm and dignified rights to the end. The 5% survival rate has not
:12:58. > :13:02.changed in the last 40 years. My symptoms are nonspecific. It makes
:13:03. > :13:10.it quite hard to pick up. `` of symptoms. The treatment available do
:13:11. > :13:13.not offer a significant advantage and despite pancreatic cancer having
:13:14. > :13:17.such a poor outcome, it only receives less than 1% of all Cancer
:13:18. > :13:28.Research UK. The need for more funding helps... To detect early
:13:29. > :13:35.diagnosis. The Every Life Matters campaign is about calling for an
:13:36. > :13:39.increase in tools for GPs, increased GP awareness. Susan and Audrey
:13:40. > :13:46.started a support group to help others. 2.5 years ago I had not
:13:47. > :13:54.heard of it. I want people to know about it. And really that is what we
:13:55. > :13:59.are trying to do. The ticking over the next month. Just to say that
:14:00. > :14:05.this exists. They are doing as much as they can to make that known where
:14:06. > :14:09.they live. There are proposals to build at
:14:10. > :14:12.least 70 new homes for elderly people in Reading, who need extra
:14:13. > :14:15.support to live independently. Half will be built in Southcote and the
:14:16. > :14:20.other half in Caversham on the site of the former Arthur Clarke Care
:14:21. > :14:24.Home. They will be one`bedroom flat. ``. 's The home closed earlier this
:14:25. > :14:31.year, despite a fierce campaign to save it. When they made a decision
:14:32. > :14:34.to close the previous home, a lot of people ask us to promise that he
:14:35. > :14:38.would try and use that site for older people in some way. I think
:14:39. > :14:42.what we are proposing delivers on that promise and more. Your own
:14:43. > :14:45.front door, your own independent place to live, but more support can
:14:46. > :14:52.come in without you having to move away.
:14:53. > :14:55.An historic motor launch, that's more than a hundred years old, has
:14:56. > :14:59.begun what could be her final voyage. A voyage that may end in the
:15:00. > :15:02.scrap yard. The Fusil is a Victorian steam boat that was used to tow
:15:03. > :15:05.armaments barges around Portsmouth Harbour. Today she's been lifted
:15:06. > :15:10.from her mooring on Chichester canal to be put into storage. Rob Powell
:15:11. > :15:16.reports. She may have seen better days, but
:15:17. > :15:20.at 105 years of age, perhaps if you cut and bruises are to be expected.
:15:21. > :15:25.Originally built for the war effort in Portsmouth, this steam powered
:15:26. > :15:29.service launch has spent the last seven decade as a houseboat. It has
:15:30. > :15:33.been here on the Chichester Canal since the end of World War II and
:15:34. > :15:38.has played home to many families since home. The current owner bought
:15:39. > :15:42.it six years ago but says he cannot afford to keep her. He says he is
:15:43. > :15:46.hopeful to find her a new Hope. In the meantime, she would be taken
:15:47. > :15:50.into temporary storage for top today, she was plucked from the
:15:51. > :15:56.waters exposing a hell that was last seen in the 1930s. Seeing her
:15:57. > :16:05.pointing away from the sea is astonishing. He said that they
:16:06. > :16:10.always speak to you as they come out of the water, she will make creeks
:16:11. > :16:18.and but `` groans, don't worry about it. It is thought that during World
:16:19. > :16:23.War II, the Fusil was used to target armament barges around Portsmouth
:16:24. > :16:27.Harbour. It was also stated that she was built in 1908 at Thomas
:16:28. > :16:33.Crompton's Yard, if true it would make her the oldest in existence.
:16:34. > :16:39.With few photos of the Fusil around, have passed is as uncertain as her
:16:40. > :16:42.future. History is very uncertain. All you can do is to say that the
:16:43. > :16:47.type of boat that she is, the construction that she is, in all
:16:48. > :16:52.probability, it is this. It will always be a high level of
:16:53. > :16:58.probability, unless you consigned `` find the photograph. The Fusil has
:16:59. > :17:02.swapped to the canal for a car park. The owner of this houseboat
:17:03. > :17:06.come historical artefact says he is willing to give her away to a good
:17:07. > :17:12.home, anything to save her from the scrap yard. Whatever her fate, one
:17:13. > :17:19.thing is certain, it would be an emotional goodbye. They do hope she
:17:20. > :17:25.will end up? Underneath. `` under me.
:17:26. > :17:29.Condor Ferries says it's seen bookings surge since it returned to
:17:30. > :17:32.Weymouth this summer. A year and a half after the town's ferry terminal
:17:33. > :17:35.was declared unsafe, Condor returned in July. It says good weather has
:17:36. > :17:38.contributed to 100,000 bookings being made by people travelling
:17:39. > :17:43.through the port. Condor says increased footfall has also boosted
:17:44. > :17:46.local businesses. When you're walking down the High
:17:47. > :17:50.Street you often smell this shop before you see it. Lush Cosmetics
:17:51. > :17:56.was the brainchild of a group of friends from Poole. It now has more
:17:57. > :18:00.than 800 stores in 51 countries. David Allard's been meeting the team
:18:01. > :18:01.behind the brand who say Dorset will always be home to their global
:18:02. > :18:15.success story. On Poole High Street, success really
:18:16. > :18:18.does smell sweet. This is where a group of friends founded their
:18:19. > :18:31.natural cosmetics company, 25 years ago. I was a schoolboy and I like
:18:32. > :18:34.the girls and I like doing the theatrical make up for the
:18:35. > :18:37.productions and I thought it was good fun and so I wanted to do it
:18:38. > :18:41.for a living. Mark, his wife, Mo, and some of their friends began to
:18:42. > :18:43.create cosmetics from purely natural products. Then came a lucky break.
:18:44. > :18:46.Over in Littlehampton, another cosmetics company was enjoying big
:18:47. > :18:57.success and Mark secured a contract to supply them with products. The
:18:58. > :19:02.relationship with the Body Shot was great. To be involved was
:19:03. > :19:05.exhilarating. Stressful, but exhilarating. Boosted by success,
:19:06. > :19:11.they set up their own mail order company, Cosmetics To Go, but their
:19:12. > :19:15.summer sale proved disastrous. We still leave a pound for every order
:19:16. > :19:18.we sent. We ended up with a million orders with ?1 million lost.
:19:19. > :19:22.Literally scraping together what they had, they re`opened the shop
:19:23. > :19:27.and created a new brand ` Lush. This time there was no looking back. We
:19:28. > :19:31.were working with the same team for 20 or 40 years, you have gone
:19:32. > :19:35.through all of the ups and downs together. As a retailer, Mark
:19:36. > :19:40.watches the local High Street with interest. I am always up and down
:19:41. > :19:44.counting shops, we have about 40 or 50. If I were the government, I
:19:45. > :19:51.would say anybody that is opening up an individual shop, get a discount.
:19:52. > :19:55.Shops like us can afford to play `` paid rates. There should be a
:19:56. > :20:01.sliding scale. To get people in, you have to reduce the cost. How do you
:20:02. > :20:07.go at from one shop to 836? It is all about passion. We are all
:20:08. > :20:12.passionate about what we do and how we do it and the honesty that runs
:20:13. > :20:16.through it. It is nice to be at a snack while you eat. My favourite
:20:17. > :20:20.which they never bring up is the chocolate that we use in the massage
:20:21. > :20:26.bath. Our factory looks like a grocer store. When Helen goes across
:20:27. > :20:32.to the flower shop, the lady says you're not going to rip their heads
:20:33. > :20:36.of these flowers, are you? What I'm going to do is read your mood for
:20:37. > :20:40.how you are feeling, your emotions at this moment in time. I want you
:20:41. > :20:47.to look at the wheel and I want you to choose the first three colours
:20:48. > :20:54.that jump out at you. What you have done is revealed your emotions. So
:20:55. > :20:59.we will have a bit of magic. I know what you are already. Look at that.
:21:00. > :21:04.Decisive, passionate and motivation. They are great. You have to be
:21:05. > :21:12.motivated, you must make decisions, but maybe it is too early. Away from
:21:13. > :21:17.work, Mark is often near the water, indulgent ashlar indulging his other
:21:18. > :21:22.passion, bird. I love the birds you get along here, the birds who are
:21:23. > :21:27.breeding here. So does that mean that Lush will stay firmly rooted in
:21:28. > :21:32.Dorset? Lowest crime rate in Britain, the warmest climate, people
:21:33. > :21:40.lived the longest, there are three good reasons to be here. And we plan
:21:41. > :21:44.to live here for a long time. Decisive, motivated, passionate, I'm
:21:45. > :21:46.so pleased that she did not read my mood.
:21:47. > :21:49.It's been a fascinating series this week, from Burberry to B, from
:21:50. > :21:53.Rolls Royce to Lush. All with stories rooted in the south. And if
:21:54. > :21:57.you want to see any of David's "behind the brands" films again,
:21:58. > :22:03.then they are all on our Facebook page.
:22:04. > :22:06.On the whole, we've enjoyed a pretty good year weather wise, with months
:22:07. > :22:09.of mild conditions. But this has caused a bit of a storm for
:22:10. > :22:13.hedgehogs. So much so, it's feared many won't make it through the
:22:14. > :22:18.winter. Laura Trant has been to a Berkshire rescue centre to find out
:22:19. > :22:23.why hedgehogs need our help. Despite appearing warm and cosy, these baby
:22:24. > :22:27.hedgehogs are facing a prickly prospects. A knock on effect of the
:22:28. > :22:32.hot summer and the mild autumn is that litters of hedgehogs are being
:22:33. > :22:35.bought books `` born later than normal. It is they are too small and
:22:36. > :22:46.don't have enough body fat to survive hibernation. He is action,
:22:47. > :22:51.this lady runs a hedgehog hospital. We are getting a lot more of these
:22:52. > :22:54.little guys in who are two or three weeks old, we would not normally
:22:55. > :22:58.expect to see them and they won't make it through the winter. Of
:22:59. > :23:03.course, instead of coming in in ones and twos, they are coming in in
:23:04. > :23:10.litters of sixes and sevens. They were recently noticed `` voted
:23:11. > :23:16.Britain's's National animal. Back in 1955, there were 35 and Ian often,
:23:17. > :23:19.now there are fewer than 1 million. If you find anything that is small
:23:20. > :23:24.or outs during the day, it is in trouble and will need help.
:23:25. > :23:29.Particularly the smaller ones. This little one weighs about 100 grams.
:23:30. > :23:33.They need to be at least 600 grams to survive hibernation, so at this
:23:34. > :23:39.time of year, we are taking in anything under 650 grams and they
:23:40. > :23:44.will stay with us until the spring. On average, only one in five
:23:45. > :23:48.hedgehogs survive, so if you find a baby hedgehog in your garden, the
:23:49. > :23:57.advice is to give it a dish of water and contact your nearest wildlife
