:12:44. > :12:48.do 40 hours a week as MEPs, and in their spare time they will campaign
:12:49. > :12:52.as MPs. I will absolutely m`ke sure we are not spending Brussels money
:12:53. > :12:56.on UK elections. It is against the rules. And you will be taking votes

:13:50. > :13:53.reckless. That is how the police have described these motorists
:13:54. > :13:56.caught on camera driving on pavements to get around dust carts.
:13:57. > :14:02.Often they are narrowly missing people. The police say this video
:14:03. > :14:06.doesn't show the most seriots offences because they weren't
:14:07. > :14:10.suitable for public viewing. We should be online video foot`ge to
:14:11. > :14:17.people in Shanklin this aftdrnoon. It is disgusting. They should go and
:14:18. > :14:23.take another driving test. H can't believe people would do such a
:14:24. > :14:27.thing. So deliberate. It is absolutely disgusting. All H can say
:14:28. > :14:32.is I hope you find the people and persecute them before someone gets
:14:33. > :14:37.killed. All of the motorist show in the video have been dealt whth by
:14:38. > :14:41.the police. The police say they are taking action and using the CCTV
:14:42. > :14:45.footage to prosecute drivers. So far this year, around 20 motorists have
:14:46. > :14:50.either been taken to court order issued with is fixed penaltx
:14:51. > :14:55.notice. Six of the drivers were each fined around ?600 and given six
:14:56. > :14:59.penalty points. A trading officer said the refuse collectors needs to
:15:00. > :15:05.be shown greater respect. It is hard for them and it is already working
:15:06. > :15:10.in all kinds of weather in really strenuous conditions. This hs just
:15:11. > :15:13.an added factor. It is something that is preventable if people
:15:14. > :15:20.actually thought about what they were doing. Stop and just w`it, be

:15:42. > :15:47.green light has been given to a series of schemes to improvd cycle
:15:48. > :15:53.routes for the area. Having one Government grant, the authority
:15:54. > :15:56.decided the scheme was roundly viable and there were concerns about
:15:57. > :16:02.anti`cycling sentiment in the new Forest. A short time ago I `sked
:16:03. > :16:07.Oliver across weight how thd new proposals would benefit cyclists.
:16:08. > :16:11.One of the main projects we would like the Department for Transport to
:16:12. > :16:16.improve is for a six mile stretch of extremely popular and beauthful road
:16:17. > :16:20.that goes through the heart of the forest, he rang Fields Road and the
:16:21. > :16:26.older wood ornamental drive, and we would like to repay the extremely
:16:27. > :16:32.ragged verges on lots of thd parts of that six mile stretch, ptt on a
:16:33. > :16:38.much better service `` servdrs and make it safer and more enjoxable to
:16:39. > :16:41.cycle on. It is already poptlar but we want to make sure it is
:16:42. > :16:48.absolutely safe. That project involves more than ?1 million for
:16:49. > :16:54.Hampshire County Council for what is `` what has been described `s the
:16:55. > :16:58.road recycling `` resurfacing project. That is not the case. This
:16:59. > :17:02.is not something that Hampshire County Council were planning to do
:17:03. > :17:07.anyway. We made absolutely sure of that. What we are doing has nothing
:17:08. > :17:11.to do with normal routine rtn of the mill road maintenance. It h`s
:17:12. > :17:19.everything to do with making some adjustments to the road, two line
:17:20. > :17:24.markings, to signage so that it is apparent that it is a quiet lane for
:17:25. > :17:28.cycling and careful driving for everyone to enjoy. It is an
:17:29. > :17:32.extremely pretty six mile stretch. You had a scheme that you bhd for
:17:33. > :17:35.money and drug detailed proposals and the Government said that is a
:17:36. > :17:42.great game, we'll give you the money for it. We back stand for it, isn't
:17:43. > :17:49.it embarrassing? It is not last`minute, and is certainly not a
:17:50. > :17:52.mess. The public bike schemd was ambitious and innovative. When you
:17:53. > :17:56.come up with something that is both of those things there is an element
:17:57. > :18:01.of risk. We knew when we prdsented the case to the Department for
:18:02. > :18:05.Transport that we never got to the stage whether they gave the green
:18:06. > :18:10.light or not that it might not all work out. That was up to us to look
:18:11. > :18:13.into it carefully and scruthnised it is our responsibility. We are
:18:14. > :18:17.dealing with an awful lot of public money here and have to be vdry
:18:18. > :18:24.careful how we think we might spend it. Having looked at it, we were of
:18:25. > :18:30.the opinion that it was a great idea and innovative scheme, but
:18:31. > :18:33.financially it would not st`nd up. Wouldn't it have been better to hand
:18:34. > :18:39.the money back to get anothdr national park and get that funding
:18:40. > :18:42.for an equally innovative project? There is no guarantee from the
:18:43. > :18:45.Department for Transport th`t when you present a project to thdm that
:18:46. > :18:48.they will give it to you. They have merely given us the green lhght to
:18:49. > :18:55.make the case to them, which is what we are doing. It is part of our job
:18:56. > :18:59.and our role to look. To sax we haven't managed to succeed with that
:19:00. > :19:03.project for perfectly good `nd sensible reasons, were so wd will
:19:04. > :19:07.look for other ones. It is not MS or something that has been cobbled
:19:08. > :19:10.together, a lot of careful thought has gone into every single one of
:19:11. > :19:16.the projects that we have ddcided to approach the Department for
:19:17. > :19:21.Transport for permission to go ahead with. Spare a thought for otr
:19:22. > :19:25.five`year`olds who have to cope with going to full`time school, learning
:19:26. > :19:28.to make new friends, and now learning to get to get with
:19:29. > :19:32.programming computers. It is all part of a change to the nathonal

:19:49. > :19:53.is a computer. These pupils have programmed it to move around this
:19:54. > :19:57.piece of paper. That is teaching them computational thinking, or
:19:58. > :20:01.problem`solving techniques. That is now part of the new computing
:20:02. > :20:06.curriculum. I like ICT becatse we get to do computer ring, and I like
:20:07. > :20:15.making my own games on the computer. I find it a bit dhfficult.
:20:16. > :20:20.It is it fine? It is very good fun. It is quite difficult somethmes
:20:21. > :20:26.because you have to pointed out and you learn it and it is really cool.
:20:27. > :20:32.Computer science in the classroom is not new. ICT first appeared on the
:20:33. > :20:37.timetable in 1990. But, nearly 5 years on, technology has moved on
:20:38. > :20:41.from this, to this, and now still has the curriculum. The changes have
:20:42. > :20:45.been widely praised within the technology industry. But thdre have
:20:46. > :20:51.been some criticisms. I givdn to young to be learning this? Now, it
:20:52. > :20:56.is a requirement that they `re taught this from Key stage one. It
:20:57. > :21:00.is about learning computational thinking skills that childrdn can
:21:01. > :21:03.use and apply across the whole curriculum when they're solving
:21:04. > :21:11.problems. It is not just new to the students. For some teachers, this is
:21:12. > :21:13.also an introduction to computing. Algorithms, decomposition, `bstract
:21:14. > :21:20.in. My first thing was all ly goodness, I cannot... I don't know
:21:21. > :21:24.what it means. I thought th`t perhaps I need to change my job The
:21:25. > :21:30.more I have thought about it, it has helped my thinking improve `nd it
:21:31. > :21:34.has helped the children. It is not all child's play, but these children
