we're joined by harriet lawrence and victoria bromley who worked on the programme to be shown on bbc a conservationist. she is working in the maybe, an incredible woman. pangolins have been very little studied and there are very few people who have kept them in captivity, maria is one of a handful who has reared them. the reason she has is because... she came from the illegal trade, the baby was brought in with her mother. pangolins are naturally protective of their babies. her mother was very traumatised and eventually abandon the baby so maria was left to rear hub. harriet, they are not conventionally cute, but they are cute, they are quirky, the way they walk, everything about them is quite extraordinary. one of those weird animals, when you look at them, there is something so endearing and weird, the way they hold their little hands together. they're cute little hands together. they're cute little beady eyes. we see the scales on their back, why are they like that? the way they walk seemed so odd. it walks on its back legs. pangolins also walk on all four, into the trees, climbin

one or two in bromley to the east, that is where i went, but no grammar schools in croydon.hing. joining me now from our leicester studio is geoff barton, a former head teacher and now general secretary of the association of school and college leaders. where do you stand on the issue of ploughing £50 million into more grammar schools? i think it is a bad idea. i was head of a maintained school. there was no selection involved, the pupils came from a whole range of backgrounds. i think a lot of people will see a government which talks about social mobility, implement in a plan which has no evidence which helps children from a poor background. at a time when schools like the one i ran being closed down because of a lack offunding. i being closed down because of a lack of funding. i think this is a really disappointing decision. the government would contest most of that. they say it will help people from ordinary and poorer backgrounds. it will increase choice and the schools are centres for excellence and what is wrong with excellence? we all love excellence, we all want excel

it's part of a pilot scheme also happening in bromley, gosport, watford and woking.ults on bbc one and the bbc news channel from 11:a5 tonight. many professional musicians are thinking about changing career because they don't earn enough to live on — according to a study by the musicians union. the report says nearly half of its members are considering giving up. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. a position with a leading uk orchestra would be a dream come true for gemma freestone, but she knows there's likely to be a cost. in the musicians union survey, almost half said orchestral work isn't enough to live on — luckily, gemma is keen to embrace additional work, like teaching, but for many, taking on extra work is a financial necessity. we don't do what we do for money, of course we don't, we love what we do but we have to earn a living and if people have families and children — obviously not me yet — but looking towards the future, if you want to have a family and live comfortably, you need to be able to earn a decent amount of money. percussion p

is met with extreme violence, and has happened ina extreme violence, and has happened in a case in bromleyith on a daily basis. having legislation change will have the confidence given to them to use that training properly. if you look at police federation figures, only one officer has been prosecuted for driving in a manner which was deemed to be illegal. are these changes actually necessary? absolutely, you look at 500,000 immediate response incidents every year, that is 500,000 opportunities. let's not lose sight of the fact that when things go right, police do not look at police driving. but when something outside of that officer's control, something that happened in a split second, someone runs out in front of them, the officer will have no chance. but we analyse the driving and look backwards, and their standard has breached a careful and confidence so it isa breached a careful and confidence so it is a real predicament. it is like saying, there is a big hole in the road, how many people do we want to fall dummett before we fill it in? i know that there have been two officers charged
