:06:08. > :06:10.Neil Carmichael who is the lember of parliament for Stroud and w`s on the
:06:11. > :06:22.Thank you for speaking to us. First of all, do you think these children
:06:23. > :06:25.are getting a proper educathon? We don't always know because wd don't
:06:26. > :06:31.have proper registration, a point that was made in York clip. But I
:06:32. > :06:36.think many of them will. Thd problem is some of them don't and those are
:06:37. > :06:39.the ones we need to be sure about. In 2012 the select committed
:06:40. > :06:45.produced this report and it talked about tighter regulations and better
:06:46. > :06:49.standards for councils as rdgards to the postcode lottery. Since that
:06:50. > :06:54.report, have things got better, in your opinion? I think some councils
:06:55. > :06:59.will have taken note of that report. My own, Gloucestershire, has one of
:07:00. > :07:04.the largest number of home dducated children. It contributed to the
:07:05. > :07:08.report itself through evidence. I like the idea of home education
:07:09. > :07:14.because it gives parents a choice, but I do hope that all the parents
:07:15. > :07:18.are aware of the need to make sure the education is of a high dnough
:07:19. > :07:22.quality. You mentioned that Gloucestershire has almost three
:07:23. > :07:26.times the number of children home`schooled rather than Bristol.
:07:27. > :07:33.Why do think that is? Why in rural areas? You have answered part of the
:07:34. > :07:39.question yourself. It is a rural constituency and home education
:07:40. > :07:42.suits that. My constituency has an alternative view about a lot of
:07:43. > :07:47.things and home education comes into that. It is original righty of
:07:48. > :07:52.different forms of education in my constituency well and that hs good
:07:53. > :07:55.as well. You mentioned alternative ways of living and different types
:07:56. > :07:59.of rural areas, but isn't it really the point that there are many
:08:00. > :08:06.parents, 2000 of them in fact, we don't trust the coalition's
:08:07. > :08:10.education policy? The first thing to say is the education policy of the
:08:11. > :08:14.government has been proved to be right because of the excelldnt
:08:15. > :08:19.results we had this August `nd also because of the number of schools
:08:20. > :08:21.which are going from God to outstanding and others who `re
:08:22. > :08:28.getting too good he not there before. The performance of our
:08:29. > :08:32.schools have improved. The outcome is the fact that 500,000 sttdents
:08:33. > :08:36.will be starting university and that is a further endorsement of our
:08:37. > :08:43.strategy. Much improved, but still a lot of work to be done. In ly
:08:44. > :08:48.constituency we have had grdat results and great schools. H have
:08:49. > :08:53.been pushing that because it is very important, but the fact rem`ins that
:08:54. > :08:57.the 2000 or so parents who have decided to keep their children at
:08:58. > :09:02.home, I think one thing thex have got to remember is so called linkage
:09:03. > :09:05.and social issues that go around being perhaps a bit too isolated
:09:06. > :09:08.from other children and othdr families. Mr Carmichael, th`nk you
:09:09. > :09:15.very much for joining us. Our Back to School series continues
:09:16. > :09:17.tomorrow where we'll be looking at the introduction
:09:18. > :09:20.of free school meals for all infants There's much more still to come
:09:21. > :09:23.on the programme toinight, Sprig the spaniel was lost on a rock
:09:24. > :09:39.after falling down onto a lddge It's the most common form
:09:40. > :09:42.of cancer in men and today. For the first time, a new awareness
:09:43. > :09:45.campaign was launched in Brhstol. I'm talking
:09:46. > :09:47.about prostate cancer and every year in the UK around 40,000 men are
:09:48. > :09:49.diagnosed with the disease. The two`week event hopes to increase
:09:50. > :09:52.knowledge and just as important As our reporter Ali Vowles found
:09:53. > :10:15.out, the message is being t`ken Did you have a good holiday? What
:10:16. > :10:20.did you think of the rugby result? Did you talk about potentially
:10:21. > :10:24.embarrassing things like prostate cancer? Sports and politics and
:10:25. > :10:35.that's about it. Do you know anything about prostate cancer? No,
:10:36. > :10:40.not really. So from today the message is being taken to where men
:10:41. > :10:44.meet, from barbers to all courses, people have promised to sprdad the
:10:45. > :10:49.word and T`shirts are one w`y of making men think. T`shirts `re
:10:50. > :10:57.fantastic and I'm old enough to know what that refers to. Men don't like
:10:58. > :11:01.to talk about that kind of stuff, but what better place than `
:11:02. > :11:06.barbershop? In the early st`ges there are often no symptoms. The
:11:07. > :11:12.charity that supports research in Bristol says although not pdrfect,
:11:13. > :11:16.having a blood test could c`tch the cancer early. I was early. H was
:11:17. > :11:21.diagnosed with prostate cancer three`year is ago. I was ignorant
:11:22. > :11:28.about it and I was diagnosed just do a company annual health assdssment
:11:29. > :11:33.and because of that, it is hmportant to raise awareness throughott the
:11:34. > :11:37.male population in Bristol. Southmead Hospital has one of the
:11:38. > :11:41.biggest eulogy unit in the country, making it a centre of excellence.
:11:42. > :11:45.Doctors have access to robotic technology that helps with complex
:11:46. > :11:51.surgery and money raised by local charity events are helping fund
:11:52. > :11:58.research into more sophisticated diagnostic methods. MRI scanning
:11:59. > :12:03.will give us more information about what cancers are present in the
:12:04. > :12:09.prostate. Within the next fhve years we will have a better idea of which
:12:10. > :12:12.cancers are dangerous to men and focus on diagnosis and treatment of
:12:13. > :12:20.those cancers. Prostate cancer affects many lives in my situation
:12:21. > :12:24.is typical. My dad died of ht, friends and family have died of it.
:12:25. > :12:26.The campaign hopes to make people more aware and make them thhnk about
:12:27. > :12:32.their prostate. Floors in some
:12:33. > :12:34.of the surgical theatres at the new Southmead Hospital could have to be

:13:32. > :13:34.the team has been out hunting down the criminals who are stealhng our

:13:44. > :13:57.us now to tell us more. Nice to see you back. Let's start
:13:58. > :14:03.off with the criminals. You have been hunting them down and they are
:14:04. > :14:06.getting our bank details. What is that about? Anyone who has ` chip
:14:07. > :14:12.and pin card will know you hand your card over, it is put in a m`chine
:14:13. > :14:16.you tap in York in. Occasionally, you will be told the transaction has
:14:17. > :14:23.not worked and you were givdn a little receipt and that is really
:14:24. > :14:26.where this scam kicks off. Hn a clip you have got here, our reporter goes
:14:27. > :14:32.undercover to contact the fraudster and find out what this clevdr chip
:14:33. > :14:40.and pin machine does. He is banking on staying anonymous over the
:14:41. > :14:46.Internet. Will see about th`t. Press F1 and then one... He tells me the
:14:47. > :14:59.machine he sent me remembers people 's card numbers. The data is stored.
:15:00. > :15:02.That is everything he needs to steal people's cash. And amazinglx, we
:15:03. > :15:08.know these scams are happenhng in the West. Absolutely. We spoke to
:15:09. > :15:13.someone in Bristol who is on the programme tonight we became aware of
:15:14. > :15:18.it when his statement showed he had used his chip and pin card hn a few
:15:19. > :15:22.hours later he used it in Bristol and then a few hours later ht was
:15:23. > :15:25.being used in South East Asha. That is why you have to keep an dye on
:15:26. > :15:30.your statements, but I'm sure you're going to that. Also on the
:15:31. > :15:37.programme, you have the plight of a West water creature. Our native
:15:38. > :15:40.white clawed crayfish is under threat. It's on the brink of
:15:41. > :15:47.extinction. We been following a programme at Bristol zoo to find out
:15:48. > :15:54.how the population can be boosted and also reintroduce it into areas
:15:55. > :15:58.where it had been lost. We have been able to dive into areas where
:15:59. > :16:07.conservation work is being done Think you have another clip. All the
:16:08. > :16:10.careful work that has gone hnto this site is making a difference for the
:16:11. > :16:15.white clawed crayfish, but ht can still be easily undone.
:16:16. > :16:19.You're taking an in`depth look, pardon the pun, as to how the
:16:20. > :16:28.scientists are trying to protect this population? Yes. They have
:16:29. > :16:34.defined areas of the river where the large crayfish from America. They
:16:35. > :16:42.are destroying the habitat of the white crayfish. They are finding
:16:43. > :16:47.areas of river where the Amdrican species has not invaded. Thdy want
:16:48. > :16:55.to reintroduce the white cr`yfish and boost the population. Vdry
:16:56. > :17:00.briefly, the human tongue. Everything we thought beford is
:17:01. > :17:07.wrong. We are now discovering, it's a Bristol scientist challenging what
:17:08. > :17:14.we previously thought... People may have seen it at school, suite at the
:17:15. > :17:17.front, bitter at the back, but it is wrong. It is now thought we have a
:17:18. > :17:22.combination of taste receptors all over our tongues will stop so is how
:17:23. > :17:29.we taste random awkward there be a genetic link? One man is determined

:19:40. > :19:46.from here with his owners when all of a sudden he went missing. Susie,
:19:47. > :19:50.what did you do? We couldn't believe it because we were looking `t the
:19:51. > :19:53.view and he wasn't with us. We searched and searched and wd have
:19:54. > :19:56.been coming back every day since looking for him, but it is the most
:19:57. > :20:02.awful feeling when you don't know what has happened. This must have
:20:03. > :20:11.sparked a bit of a search in terms of posters? We did. People came out
:20:12. > :20:15.to help us, we posted it on Facebook. Phenomenal help, but we
:20:16. > :20:34.couldn't find him. Nine days went by, but luckily for Siouxsid and the
:20:35. > :20:42.RNLI, they were out on the call Just as we were moving off near a
:20:43. > :20:50.clifftop, we saw movement and I told the helmsman to go back and have a
:20:51. > :21:08.closer look. Sprig popped hhs head up and barked at us. This w`s a
:21:09. > :21:19.happy ending. A nice outcomd for Sprig, Suzy and his owner. Robert,
