:00:07. > :00:13.A man from Somerset is stopped from visiting his elderly
:00:14. > :00:16.father after complaining about his dad's care.
:00:17. > :00:19.For the rest of the week when I wasn't there,
:00:20. > :00:21.he probably sat in total silence and we all know stimulation
:00:22. > :00:36.But was the care home within its rights?
:00:37. > :00:42.The prisoner who was kept in isolation just

:00:57. > :01:00.We speak to David Attenborotgh about his journeys to some of
:01:01. > :01:14.A row with the care home led to a son being banned from visithng his
:01:15. > :01:20.father. Paul Doolan says he felt his
:01:21. > :01:22.93-year-old father wasn't An investigation by the Victoria
:01:23. > :01:28.Derbyshire Programme has revealed that Mr Doolan isn't alone ,
:01:29. > :01:30.and that hundreds of relatives face problems visiting
:01:31. > :01:32.their loved ones every year. We are all part of
:01:33. > :01:42.an ageing population. More than 230,000 people now live
:01:43. > :01:45.in full time residential care. But what happens when their new home
:01:46. > :01:47.decides their family It's increasingly common
:01:48. > :01:53.and the effects can be devastating. Paul Doohan's dad moved
:01:54. > :01:58.into the care home in Paul visited him every week
:01:59. > :02:04.for three years before He says it was because he h`d
:02:05. > :02:08.complained about poor He looked forward to me
:02:09. > :02:15.seeing him and taking him ott. The ban meant Paul and dad Terry
:02:16. > :02:23.could only meet at this club watched by a chaperone employed
:02:24. > :02:28.by the local authority. I always had a good relationship
:02:29. > :02:35.with Dad and it was The email banning Paul accused him
:02:36. > :02:48.of unacceptable behaviour I refute that completely,
:02:49. > :02:54.my dad did his best for me and I was out
:02:55. > :02:57.to do my best for my father. Solicitor Jemma Garside sees
:02:58. > :03:16.hundreds of simliar cases. She says it's because
:03:17. > :03:18.the law is a grey area. You don't have the rights
:03:19. > :03:21.as a tenant, the contract is written They set the terms and condhtions
:03:22. > :03:29.and you have to abide by those. Campaigners are now
:03:30. > :03:34.calling on the CQC to keep accurate records of how manx visitor
:03:35. > :03:37.bans are put in place in each Only then they say Will the full
:03:38. > :03:41.scale of the problem Professor Martin Green
:03:42. > :03:44.is from Care England, Earlier I asked him if it is ever
:03:45. > :03:58.right that someone can be b`nned I think there are circumstances
:03:59. > :04:01.where it could be legitimatd to ban someone for example if people going
:04:02. > :04:06.into a care home and behaving abusively to other residents or to
:04:07. > :04:11.staff there may be situations where somebody is banned but I have to say
:04:12. > :04:17.it would be an unusual situ`tion when that happens. If you go in and
:04:18. > :04:20.make a complaint, not everyone is a great diplomat, perhaps that could
:04:21. > :04:26.be taken the wrong way and xou cannot see your LAN or your mum or
:04:27. > :04:30.dad? Making a complaint is fine but people need to remember thex have to
:04:31. > :04:36.make complaints inappropriate ways. If, for example, the making of a
:04:37. > :04:40.complaint becomes to abusing the staff, that would be seen as abuse
:04:41. > :04:47.of staff. I should stress there is no reason why a complaint should
:04:48. > :04:50.result in a ban. Who decides whether someone is being abusive and
:04:51. > :04:54.deserves to be kicked off the premises, is it down to the home, is
:04:55. > :05:00.there any way you can go and say this is not fair? It is down to the
:05:01. > :05:05.home but there are other pl`ces you can go so if this caused grdat
:05:06. > :05:09.concern, you could take it tp with a Care Quality Commission who is the
:05:10. > :05:12.regulator but I would hope hn the majority of cases this can be
:05:13. > :05:19.resolved before it becomes dscalated to a ban. How common is this? Not
:05:20. > :05:25.very common or though it is not something where there are m`ny
:05:26. > :05:30.figures collated but if you look at the people in care homes and assume
:05:31. > :05:35.they all have one or two or three carers, you can see this is not a
:05:36. > :05:41.major issue but I am not underestimating the impact ht has on
:05:42. > :05:46.the people affected. There `re no central records kept. Indeed, no
:05:47. > :05:51.central records. Should there be? It might be helpful to see the scale of
:05:52. > :05:56.the issue and we can see how we can craft a solution so it gets dealt
:05:57. > :05:58.with before it becomes a situation where somebody is banned. Thank you.
:05:59. > :06:01.A report says measures taken to tackle flooding in Somerset
:06:02. > :06:04.A committee of MPs visited the county in April
:06:05. > :06:12.They studied efforts in places like Montacute to slow the run-off
:06:13. > :06:18.of rainwater by the use of ponds, trees and small dams.
:06:19. > :06:21.A transgender woman from Bath who spent six weeks in jail last
:06:22. > :06:26.year says prison staff made her feel like an animal in a zoo.
:06:27. > :06:30.Tara Hudson, who was born a man admits she deserved to go to prison.
:06:31. > :06:32.But she says the government needs to give more training
:06:33. > :06:36.It comes on the day the Justice Secretary has mdt
:06:37. > :06:39.with officers to discuss concerns about safety inside jails.
:06:40. > :06:55.I have been behind these bars, I know how transgender people are
:06:56. > :07:02.treated and it is not good. Eastwood Park hit the headlines when prisoner
:07:03. > :07:05.Tara was moved from Bristol following a nationwide camp`ign
:07:06. > :07:10.Many have been outraged Tar` who was born a man but lived as a woman to
:07:11. > :07:15.ten years had been taken to a men's jail after pleading guilty to
:07:16. > :07:21.assault. I felt I had no rights I felt like an animal in a zoo. Around
:07:22. > :07:27.160,000 people signed a pethtion to get Tara moved to a women's prison.
:07:28. > :07:31.After seven days, the OJ adlitted and she was moved. When she arrived,
:07:32. > :07:37.she says staff did not know what to do with her. Because of my gender
:07:38. > :07:44.identity, they felt they nedded to lock me up in segregation. @nd keep
:07:45. > :07:48.me away from the main popul`tion of the prison. The Ministry of Justice
:07:49. > :07:52.insists transgender prisoners are managed safely and in accordance
:07:53. > :07:56.with the laws. Tara says shd was kept in her south while othdr
:07:57. > :08:01.prisoners were allowed out to do college courses and go to the gym. I
:08:02. > :08:07.did not feel like I was equ`l to the other prisoners. I think ye`h, if
:08:08. > :08:13.you have done something bad, you should go to prison. You should be
:08:14. > :08:19.punished. But to be treated differently to other prisondrs. .
:08:20. > :08:24.What is your message to the government, what changes nedd to
:08:25. > :08:28.take place? Better training of staff and more understanding. Tar` did not
:08:29. > :08:33.have a gender recognition certificate, the paper to s`y she is
:08:34. > :08:37.legally now a woman, if she had that the guidelines say she would have
:08:38. > :08:42.been sent to a women's prison first. But the certificate is hard to come
:08:43. > :08:46.by. And just like Tara, manx transgender people simply do not
:08:47. > :08:51.have it. The government says discretion can be shown and a
:08:52. > :08:56.national review is taking place looking at improvements that can be
:08:57. > :09:02.made. The governor welcomes clearer balls but says a one size fhts all
:09:03. > :09:06.approach will not work. Transgender people are in different states of
:09:07. > :09:09.transition with different backgrounds and in different states
:09:10. > :09:14.physically and emotionally `nd mentally as well. And I think a
:09:15. > :09:20.basic set of guidelines is tseful but we should assess people as
:09:21. > :09:22.individuals. Managing the ndeds of different individuals has bdcome one
:09:23. > :09:36.of the biggest challenges the prison faces. It is cold and dark outside.
:09:37. > :09:41.But you are inside watching BBC Points West! Nice to have you with

:10:33. > :10:44.There's at least one report a week of a vulnerable child on rahlways
:10:45. > :10:48.And a big campaign for what these officers are trained to worry about.
:10:49. > :10:51.Children who are travelling alone, children who are maybe intoxicated

:11:23. > :11:26.where someone has expressed or identified a concern or risk
:11:27. > :11:28.and they have spoken to the child and it
:11:29. > :11:31.For the transport police, it's now about engaging
:11:32. > :11:33.with these children - and not seeing them
:11:34. > :11:44.In the past with better understanding now, where we may have
:11:45. > :11:50.regarded children as being ` nuisance or anti-social or describe
:11:51. > :11:52.them as being on the verge of acting with criminal by Hagar, we now look
:11:53. > :11:56.to see what is beyond that. Extra resources and training

:15:51. > :15:54.conservationists here but mtch great work has been done over the last 70
:15:55. > :16:02.years thanks to the incredible pioneering vision of the Sir Peter
:16:03. > :16:08.Scott. 70 years ago there w`s little here, 900 acres of rural Butland,
:16:09. > :16:12.attractive to thousands of peace. Then along came the son of some of

:16:48. > :16:50.work that has been done and pleased the message has finally got through.
:16:51. > :16:57.He will be pleased with the recent news about Antarctica being
:16:58. > :17:02.redacted, that is important that the planet and it is huge news of the

:17:11. > :17:16.projecting species and the current work of the trust in conservation
:17:17. > :17:20.projects around the globe. H want to use this opportunity to congratulate
:17:21. > :17:23.all of you for the immense `mount of hard work and effort you put into
:17:24. > :17:30.this to the devotion and dedication you have shown to the whole cause.
:17:31. > :17:34.I'm worried the numbers are going down... He told Slimbridge to see
:17:35. > :17:37.friends of the species now thriving and learn more about those still
:17:38. > :17:43.endangered, proof there are many challenges still ahead. Hum`n
:17:44. > :17:49.society is the problem but we are also the solution. It has got to be
:17:50. > :17:53.about people, we are getting more disconnected from nature, wdre in
:17:54. > :17:58.the digital age and we have to embrace and use digital technology
:17:59. > :18:02.more effectively but still connect people with nature. 70 years on a
:18:03. > :18:05.sense of global achievement from this rural corner of Gloucestershire
:18:06. > :18:15.but also recognition and thdre is still a need for modern conservation
:18:16. > :18:19.in the modern world. A nice day out! I'm not sure if it was the
:18:20. > :18:23.microphone or if Prince Charles has a bad throat. If he is watching from
:18:24. > :18:25.Highgrove, get well soon. An eight year girl from Swindon has
:18:26. > :18:28.today met astronaut Tim Peake, after being invited to speak
:18:29. > :18:31.at a space conference in Portsmouth. Amelia Patterson sent him a picture
:18:32. > :18:34.of her solar system homework while he was onboard
:18:35. > :18:36.the International Space Station Andy Howard has been
:18:37. > :18:43.following her story. For many, it started
:18:44. > :18:51.with a big bang. For Amelia, the solar systel
:18:52. > :18:59.was created with a few yoghtrt pots. We painted it orange and whdn it
:19:00. > :19:02.dried we did yellow dots all over Life on Earth
:19:03. > :19:07.depends on the sun? Because if we didn't have the sun,
:19:08. > :19:13.everything on earth would bdcome ice and the whole thing would bd blue
:19:14. > :19:21.so we would all die. Right, well, moving on...I have
:19:22. > :19:27.got more questions... What is this big red
:19:28. > :19:31.splodge on Jupiter? That has one massive storm
:19:32. > :19:37.that covers some of it. You have scratched a bit
:19:38. > :19:46.of planet off! Tim Peake is a big deal in this
:19:47. > :19:56.house, Amelia sent him a picture of her solar system
:19:57. > :19:58.when he was in space... He sent a tweet back
:19:59. > :20:00.saying well done. What is it like having a message
:20:01. > :20:03.back from an astronaut whilst It certainly is, and today,
:20:04. > :20:14.Amelia got a little closer to him. First she listened to his speech,
:20:15. > :20:17.then in the room next door, This is Tim Peake talking to Earth
:20:18. > :20:24.from his radio on the ISS. It wasn't long before Ameli` met
:20:25. > :20:38.Tim...or should that be, It's a sneak preview of the long
:20:39. > :21:03.awaited new series of Planet Earth, which is of course made right
:21:04. > :21:06.here at the Natural The producers of Planet Earth II say
:21:07. > :21:11.we're about to get closer to some of the most inaccessible
:21:12. > :21:18.places in the world. And thanks to advances
:21:19. > :21:20.in technology, we'll be abld to come eye to eye with the animals
:21:21. > :21:23.that live there. A lucky few at tonight's prdmiere
:21:24. > :21:26.in Bristol are about to watch The series' narrator and broadcaster
:21:27. > :21:29.Sir David Attenborough A little earlier, Sabet
:21:30. > :21:46.Choudhury asked him... How planet Earth to is diffdrent. We
:21:47. > :21:53.have new gear. All kinds of new gear, I am surprised how thd
:21:54. > :21:58.technology takes you a step forward, things you never thought about. We
:21:59. > :22:03.thought about drones? That hs one thing. Camera traps are another
:22:04. > :22:07.which have developed. It is a tiny camera you can stick it where you
:22:08. > :22:12.like and it is activated by the animal, if there is movement so if
:22:13. > :22:17.you know an animal comes to a nest or to a marking post as manx do
:22:18. > :22:21.then you can gear it so when something appears it turns ht on and
:22:22. > :22:28.it will do that as long as there is movement. With planet Earth we were
:22:29. > :22:31.seeing the planet from a gods eye view but now from the animals point
:22:32. > :22:36.of view. There was almost nothing you can't do now. You can speed
:22:37. > :22:41.things up and slow them down, film from the air and the bottom of the
:22:42. > :22:47.sea and magnifying things... Everything, you can do. It hs a
:22:48. > :22:56.great advantage. What somebody will say doing this interview in ten
:22:57. > :23:04.years' time, I don't know! Oh, well, back in 2016, they did the last
:23:05. > :23:08.thing. That is their problel! As far as Bristol goes, still the bastion
:23:09. > :23:15.of national -- natural history, you must be so proud of the citx and
:23:16. > :23:23.what it has done. I am proud to be part of it. But it is not md. It is
:23:24. > :23:30.the BBC and a series of verx remarkable people in Bristol who,
:23:31. > :23:34.over the years, the last 50 years, established natural history here.
:23:35. > :23:40.What do you want people to take away from planet Earth? I did make
:23:41. > :23:47.programmes for people to take things away, I make programmes bec`use it
:23:48. > :23:51.is what I would like to watch. If I settle down of an evening, what
:23:52. > :23:58.would I want to see? I would want to see things like that. OK, hd may
:23:59. > :24:01.demand is prejudice, maybe so but that is what I would like pdople to
:24:02. > :24:07.say, to look at the programle and think, wow, isn't that
