1:31 pm
we are here to have fun and play good. hurray! and we're off to love island — the real love island. snorkelling is one of the highlights of myjob and it is what i have fallen in love with. there is a whole other kingdom of lundy under there. welcome to inside out west. but first, it's freshers' week at universities across the country. and for most students, it's their first experience away from home. but how safe are they? it was the beginning of term and i was on a society night out. as i was leaving, another student
1:32 pm
said he lived near me and he'd walk me back. i was always taught as a young girl, like, it's kind of ingrained in you to not walk home alone, that's sort of the safest thing to do. so i said, "yeah, sure". when we got to the steps up to my student house, he said he didn't feel very well and could he come in for a glass of water? once we were inside, his whole kind of attitude changed and he got quite aggressive. i kept saying, "no, i'm not interested like that", and asking him to leave and then he just got more and more aggressive the more times i asked. and then he kind of grabbed me by the arm and pushed me against the sofa. and raped me. and then eventually left. is hannah's experience here in bristol part of what some in the media have called a "rape epidemic"?
1:33 pm
we contacted five universities in the west of england to establish the number of reports of sexual misconduct they had in the last academic year. these numbers seem a long way from epidemic level. but do they tell the whole truth? at the university of the west of england, there were 10 reported incidents. the university of bristol had fewer than five, as did the university of gloucestershire. there were nine at the university of bath, but their neighbours, bath spa university, recorded no incidents at all. official figures show that the most likely victims of sexual assault are women between the ages of 16—24 7 so are university students any more at risk? hannah now runs a campaign group called revolt sexual assault, and they spoke to 4,500 students from over 150 universities earlier this year and their findings suggest the risk is greater. 8% of the people you interviewed
1:34 pm
on revolt sexual assault said they had been raped, but the numbers that the universities released are much lower. why do you think that is? one of the things we found from our study that i think was the most sort of strong piece of evidence is how little people are reporting it. so of the people that experienced sexual violence, only 6% were reporting this to the universities, and put that alongside the fact that up until quite recently and still at a lot of institutions, there isn't a visible way to report it, or a policy or specialised support in place. i remember looking at the bristol website to see if there was anything on there about what to do or who i could speak to, and the only advice was to call the police. but when... i knew i was going to have to see him all the time,
1:35 pm
we were sort of in the same bubble at university where you're living in the same area as people, you're studying, the library spaces, the social spaces are all the same, so that didn't feel very feasible to me. so i sort of suppressed what happened, didn't really tell anyone and then just acted like normal until i graduated. so what has changed and is it enough? i've logged on to the university of bristol website ? and there's a tool called report and support, where you can report an assault anonymously, or request that an advisor gets in touch with you. it seems a bit clinical, but it's an improvement on what was available to hannah back in 2014. so has the university of bristol learnt from what happened to hannah? so hannah talked to us about her experience only
1:36 pm
after she'd left the university. and i feel very saddened that hannah didn't have the confidence in the university to feel that if she were to approach someone, her concerns would be listened to and that she would be able to access the kind of support that at that time i imagine could have been very helpful for her. we are planning something we're calling the "respect" campaign. it will look at healthy relationships, it will look at sexual consent, it will look at the impact of pornography in order to try and influence behaviour, to inform and to educate. and one of the really key things is making it clear what constitutes sexual violence, sexual misconduct... does it alarm you that students don't know the difference between right and wrong? to a lot of people, that would be quite basic
1:37 pm
common sense, wouldn't it? i can understand why you make that statement, but i think what i've never failed to be struck by is how different people's common sense is in relation to the same issue. every year, thousands of young people are thrown into the bubble of university life. the majority have never lived away from home before, and many lack the life experience to be responsibly independent — particularly when it comes to booze. i think we need to be careful about blaming everything on alcohol. we know for certain that alcohol reduces inhibitions and potentially makes it more likely for someone to act on pre—existing views, but those views have to be there. dr louise livesey from the university of gloucestershire specialises in the study of violence against women. do you think it's overstating it to say there's a rape epidemic
1:38 pm
in our universities? i think we have to put this in the context that sexual violence is endemic in our society. so of course what happens in society is replicated at universities. the onus is on universities to respond to that in a meaningful way. are the universities doing enough to tackle the problem? i think it's fair to say that universities have had decades where they have not thought about this issue, and then there was a period of twentysomething years where the guidance to universities, the official guidance said if it was an issue that could also constitute a crime, don't touch it — push it down the criminaljustice system. which has left us with this legacy where institutions didn't listen to victims' voices, their procedures were incomprehensible, and they weren't drawing on specialist organisational support. all of those things are things that universities are now trying to do and that's a great change. one concern i have
1:39 pm
about the universities is that they are sort of ticking a box. and i'm not sure whether they've got the stuff in place that it needs to make it work. it needs to be a culture that the university is advertising is not ok — they've got the procedures, reporting and support in place, but also that they're actively trying to change that culture. ronaldo or messi ? messi or ronaldo? ronaldo for me. and there's no need to ask miki, the guy in our next film. he models himself on ronaldo and now he wants to set up bristol's first ever roma football team. miki fills his days cleaning and polishing cars. but his mind is elsewhere. it keeps me ready for the football. this isjust a warm up. i need to see something in this team! he has a dream.
1:40 pm
what do you want to become? footballers! yeah! louder, guys. he wants to create bristol's first ever roma football team. but they've got a reputation. there are definitely one or two very good roma players, but i think it's probably their commitment levels that has failed them. can he prove them wrong on the big stage? all right, guys. this is the day we have been waiting forfor a long time. his hair is the way i like it. i want the hairstyle up on the sides like this. most of the time, i see kids playing football in the park
1:41 pm
and they're kind of struggling, so i go there and tell them what to do. when i got his haircut ifeel like i'm ronaldo, so i really like it. most evenings, miki's in roman road park in easton, coaching roma kids. in the last few years their number has swelled here. it might lack facilities and space, but he makes it work. thank you very much, mate. when they see us in the park, they don't have no problem but when they see kids outside in the streets, they get crazy. they think they are going to hit their windows and cars or a car could run them over. he dreams about having better facilities and more space for them. can we make a pass? good boy. patrick williams has been
1:42 pm
doing what miki does, professionally, for 17 years. he founded the bristol inner city football academy, teaching kids from diverse backgrounds — some have gone on to play for premiership teams. but he hasn't had much success with the roma. in terms of roma kids, we don't have any here tonight. historically, we have. i know a lot of roma kids from city academy school where i work, and their commitment levels have failed them. there are definitely some talented aroma kids, it's whether they have that inner strength. miki's at the carwash with his roma friends. these are gabriel and leo. they're the core of his new football team and don't like going to patrick's academy — they prefer to play football on their own terms. it's better when you communicate in your own language. he sings a roma song.
1:43 pm
it says "help me, god, because i'm waiting for your help". he'll need all the help he can get. word's out about their team and patrick's brought some of his top players to see how good they are. miki's dressed for the occasion. bend it like beckham. i told him that is the only thing i want from him. he is a really good bender. this is a great
1:44 pm
environment to learn. he is my best player. when he plays in the park, he is electric. what's the score? 3-2. are you sure? come on, guys, two more. 4-4. one more, guys. they lose 5—4. not too bad, but not too good as well. anyway, sometimes you have to lose, sometimes you win. you don't have to always
1:45 pm
win, because they will never learn anything. well done. we will see you soon and arrange a game, a proper match. you can keep my ball as well. he's got a few weeks before that "proper match", so miki's gone back to school...coaching school. he wants a proper coaching qualification so he can give up the car wash. he's been doing really well, he's been getting involved, he's having his say, he's designing some really good session plans for the games, yeah, he's doing really well. i think i'm going to pass this course and if i pass it, i hope i'm going to become a professional coach. but before that, he's got to meet that challenge laid down by patrick. it will be his biggest game yet and it's at ashton gate.
1:46 pm
bristol city has heard about the match and donated their ground for it. and they've provided kit. this is the day we've been waiting forfor a long time. today we're not here to win or lose, we're here to have fun and play good. ok, thank you, guys. let's do this. hip hip, hooray! refereeing the game is city legend scott murray. and of course, miki couldn't resist the chance of a lifetime, so he's playing too. i've kitted out the purple team, so i probably want them to win. i think it'll be 25—23 to the purples. and if it's a bit one—sided i've got my boots on, so i mightjoin in. ooh, it's a foul by team roma...
1:47 pm
not a great start. a free kick for patrick's team. and it's a goal, oh, an own goal. great save, well done. miki's on the ball... oh, not for long. surely that's a foul. great save... and he's not got gloves on. that would hurt. it's full time and miki's team have lost 3—1. there were some good players on the pitch. and you know what, i would like to think what would happen for them is that they do continue to do something rather than do nothing, because this whole experience and this jouney that they've been on will just go to waste. and patrick's got some advice and an offer of help. i don't think you're ready as a group, because there's a commitment level that has to come with it. why don't we start at getting
1:48 pm
in the summer league and get 11 or 15 players signed up for that? once you've done that, you never know, you might get your own football team. that's the start of my plan. thanks. if there's anything i can do to help, i will try. it's only football. that makes me happy, makes me forget everything else. when i'm on the pitch, it makes me forget about everything else. could lundy be the real love island? marooned in the bristol channel, it's a very special place which visitors fall in love with. sian scott liked it so much, she went for the weekend — and never left. it's probably the most remote community in the west. just 28 people live on this rocky outcrop in the bristol channel, 12 miles from the mainland. it has unique wildlife.
1:49 pm
the lundy cabbage. it tastes more like mouldy, fermented, gone off cabbage. ..and its own microclimate. the old light, you can't see it yet but it'll come into view in about a minute's time... in the fog... in the fog. what fog? getting on and off can be tricky. i think getting stranded on lundy is just all part of the charm of the island. yet thousands of people flock here every year for a brief island experience. it'sjust a magical island, that's all you can say. wow, amazing. but what's so special about lundy that sian scott gave up everything to come and live here on her own as a permanent resident? are we ready for our lundy adventure? yeah! all right. this is the old light cottage and i came and stayed here for my 30th birthday in february 2017. definitely at a bit of a low ebb.
1:50 pm
i'd worked myself into the ground a little bit. i was doing a job that i loved but it was physically demanding. i guess it was a time in my life where i was looking for somewhere to think peacefully and have a bit of downtime outside the manic of normal life. sian wrote a vivid description of her first day in the cottage log book. "my first visit to lundy and i've had a wonderful first full day. i walked around the entire island on the coastal paths. the weather was very kind to me. a magical mist enshrouded the morning, but it burned away to reveal expansive blue skies and restorative sun on my face. on the day that i was supposed to leave, storm doris hit and they wouldn't let the helicopters come to the island and i ended up staying on the island for eight days as a visitor. and in that time, ijust kind of fell in love with it. and on the day i was leaving, i asked in the tavern if there were anyjobs going and there was an assistant warden post. so i went home and applied for it and before i knew it i was back here, living on lundy.
1:51 pm
my name is sian, i am the assistant warden. this job gives sian the chance to demonstrate her love of lundy to visitors. you can just see in this valley, the very pale yellow flowers a bit lower down, that's lundy cabbage. so lundy cabbage grows nowhere else in the world, only on the island. and you're very lucky because it's onlyjust come back into bloom. sian is also the island's education officer, a brand new role partly paid for by a million pound lottery grant that has been used for major repair work to st helen's church. so guys, you canjust make out the church now. i wasn't making it up, it is there. it's been closed for some repointing and to be turned into our interpretation and education centre. the building work has taken a year to complete. when it reopens, it will contain a new exhibition about the island's history and wildlife. sian played a major part in its design. it's been months of work, sourcing information and photographs,
1:52 pm
getting the tone right for the exhibition, so it'll be exciting to see it finally going into place now. the bishop of exeter is coming to officially open it in two days. it's a race against time to get it finished. meanwhile, sian is getting on with her dayjob. snorkel safaris are definitely one of the highlights of myjob and it is what i've fallen in love with. it's a whole other kingdom of lundy under there. we'll probably stay quite close in the bay, maybe hope a couple of seals come up and see us. it's days like this when you wonder, "how on earth is this really myjob?" it's got to be the best office in the world. spider crab. if this all seems too
1:53 pm
idyllic, island life does have its difficulties. an added challenge not just to living on lundy, but to my life in general, is that i'm type i diabetic. i have to do five or six injections a day and it's difficult getting supplies over here and most consultations i'll only have over the phone at the moment, so i'm not being seen quite as regularly. i'm very healthy, but it's definitely difficult. she has to rely on the shore staff on the mainland to pick up her prescriptions and put them on the ship or the helicopter. she learnt after her first visit to keep enough for an emergency. luckily, i'd put in a few extra little units of insulin and things like that but when i got stuck here for eight days, i really needed to go back on that eighth day to get my new supplies. supplies of most things are limited on this island, just three miles long by half a mile wide. there's no school or doctor's surgery. this is the only shop.
1:54 pm
there is a pub. the islands electricity comes from a generator which is turned off at midnight. and during the drought this summer, they very nearly ran out of water. it's the big day — the official re—opening of the church. this is looking particularly bad today, so it could be a chaotic landing. in the end, it's plain sailing for the crew...well, almost. hello, i'm sian, nice to meet you, finally. this date has been in my diary for ages and i've been looking
1:55 pm
forward to it but also slightly dreading it, thinking, "what's the weather going to be like?" and for very good reason. not only can i not swim, but i'm terrified of the water. i don't mind looking at it, just don't ask me to get in it. to her relief, sian‘s exhibition gets the bishops blessing. i'm impressed too by these marvellous educational banners and exhibition here. amazing to see it's all come together. i'm quite proud of it, it's really brought the space to life as well, so yeah, it's a wonderful feeling. it's always good, i suppose, when you know you are at the end of your day and everybody‘s back on the boat safely. you know when you come back up to the island you've got a bit of peace back. and at times like this, sian remembers why she fell in love with lundy in the first place. "i was lucky enough to see a doe and her youngster standing on top of a large boulder.
1:56 pm
i manged to creep up behind a neighbouring boulder and photographed them... so much stillness, peace and beauty in that moment. i came here asking the universe a question and lundy has answered it. i hope she answers your questions too". sian. isn't lundy a truly amazing place? just like this. so from a very windy river severn, good night. hope you can join us next week. it's a fine september afternoon for
1:57 pm
