- planned attacks are becoming more common |
A vehicle is stolen
in the UK every 90 seconds. One in five of these is taken by carjackers.
The
attacks are often carefully planned and extremely violent, leaving some victims
with serious 聳 and sometimes life threatening - injuries.
Inside Out
meets the father from Castle Bromwich who was knocked unconscious as he attempted
to stop carjackers making off with his son聮s car.
We also hear from
a Birmingham woman whose sports car was stolen when she was attacked after being
shunted at traffic lights.
But is there anything that can be done to counter
the carjacking threat?
Presenter Ashley Blake enrols on a driving course
which teaches techniques aimed at foiling carjack attacks.
He also pays
a visit to the University of Warwick, where new technology has been developed
which allows stolen cars to be tracked and immobilised. Links relating

zone - documenting war stories |
For more than 90 years, one
school has been teaching its students to take the best photographs in the worse
possible situations.
Former pupils have gone on to take pictures and film
footage in two world wars and many conflicts across the globe.
Today, the
Defence School of Photography, now based in Cosford, Shropshire, trains around
1,000 people a year in a range of camera skills; from surveillance and combat
photography, to portraits and public relations.
Inside Out joins two new
young recruits on an intensive course which aims to prepare them for a career
as an armed services photographer.
We also track down one of the school聮s
first students to find out how the role of the military photographer has changed
over the years. Links relating to this story:The 大象传媒 is not

Couple  | | Pat
and Ken are passionate about the coastline |
Pat and Ken Hathaway
from landlocked Littleover in Derbyshire have been on a 15 year journey that has
taken them the length of Britain聮s coastline.
The couple claim to
be the only people to have visited every village, town and city on the English,
Scottish and Welsh coasts.
Pat and Ken, who are both retired, started in
June 1990 in the village of Aust on the River Severn in South Gloucestershire
聳 and headed south.
Their tour took them on a 2,110-mile trek anti-clockwise
around the mainland coast.
Inside Out caught up with the couple as their
journey drew to a close 聳 and joined them as they revisited some of the most
memorable places from their epic quest. Links relating to this story:The 大象传媒 is not responsible for the
