An angry and emotional public meeting. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A walk`out as councillors in Rotherham face the public | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
for the first time over child sex exploitation. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
We are very angry and we don't know why all of you have not resigned. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
It has also emerged that South Yorkshire's chief constable got his | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
facts wrong when he appeared in Parliament yesterday. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
and that they should resign. Before the meeting there was quite dignity | :00:26. | :02:08. | |
and distress. I have lived here for over 70 years. I am powder that but | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
this has gone worldwide. But despite an apology, feelings came to the | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
surface. We are very angry and we do not know why all the view have not | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
resigned. Our children were being raped. You are telling me as a | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
borough councillor you can set the and tell me that you were not | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
allowed to say anything or that you would not say anything. Opposition | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
councillors from UKIP were also keen to be hard. It is nine years since | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
the council were briefed as a confidential seminar about child sex | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
exploitation. Why did you wait nine years? Why did no one asked for a | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
progress report? Some members of the public left early shouting that | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
there should be resignations. I do not think anything will happen. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Because it is Pakistani men, they are too scared to do anything. The | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
director of children's services took questions from the Cabinet. Our | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
prevention strategies are stronger today and better developed. After | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
reassuring the meeting that victims would be believed and supported, | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
this woman left and refused to give an interview. The deputy leader of | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the council did speak after the meeting. When any officer or | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
counsellor comes forward with information that leaves them cup | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
football `` culpable, they should resign. This is the first | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
opportunity for the public to hold them to account. You heard the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
acting deputy leader of the Council the talking about the possibility of | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
further action against officers or councillors of information kids are | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
like the possibility of further action against officers or | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
councillors of information kids alike implicated them. The Labour | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
Party have already suspended for Mac people pending investigation. There | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
was a hint at the meeting today that there could be more action to come. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
One of the people who was in charge between May 2005` May 2010, was | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
Shaun Wright. Here's no the Police and Crime Commissioner for | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Yorkshire. Today, Sheffield City Council declared that they had lost | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
confidence in Shaun Wright. They called on him to resign. They went | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
further and said that there should be an investigation in Sheffield | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
following the revelations in Rotherham. We also heard today from | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
one of the key players from that time, the former police Constable of | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
South Yorkshire. He has released a statement today saying he would like | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
to offer his sincere personal apologies to the victims of abuse | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
and their families. He says that he was not aware of the abuse and he | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
did not cover the top or refuse to give resources to investigate it. He | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
said that it was right that people have the right to know what the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
police service does and he accepts that there should be scrutiny. He | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
will give another statement in due course, probably after the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
investigation. That is the former chief constable, but the County | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Council has more questions to answer. `` current County Council | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
has more questions to answer. In a separate development, Sheffield | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Council today unanimously called for South Yorkshire Police and | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright to step down, saying the people of the | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
county had no confidence in him. You may remember yesterday South | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Yorkshire's chief constable appeared before the Home Affairs Select | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
Committee to talk about Rotherham. He was asked how many people have | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
been convicted for child sex offences in the past | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
18 months in South Yorkshire. How many people have been convicted? | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
There have been 104 convictions. `` prosecutions. How many people have | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
been convicted. That is prosecutions, but how many were | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
actually convicted. So there have been 104 convictions? So you have | :06:31. | :06:40. | |
now had prosecutions and convictions. Yes. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
It has since emerged that is not true. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Today, his office said David Crompton had made an error | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
while giving evidence ` in fact, only 37 people have been convicted. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
You saw the committee chairman Keith Vas there. | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
What do you make of the man in charge of South Yorkshire Police | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
It is very regrettable. I have spoken to David Crompton today and | :07:02. | :07:15. | |
he said that he had made a mistake and he was writing to me to correct | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
that mistake. I had asked in the pits that information into a | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
particular format. After giving the wrong figure yesterday, we want the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
figures in writing. The figure that you have given me now is more | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
information than I had following my conversation with dad`mac. I'm | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
grateful to the BBC for providing me with those figures. He has promised | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
to give the information. It is regrettable he did not have the | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
information yesterday, because it is a serious and sensitive issue. We | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
need to get all the facts. People want to see that the people who are | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
responsible are prosecuted and as convicted `` prosecuted and | :08:10. | :08:10. | |
convicted. Yesterday, you called the force | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
incompetent and said "criminals must be rubbing their hands with glee at | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the thought of dealing with them". Do you have any confidence in | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
South Yorkshire police? I do not think it is for me to say | :08:24. | :08:35. | |
that, I think it is up to the local police force and the local people to | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
decide. Considering the circumstances of events that I heard | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
yesterday, and having read some of the information that has been sent | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
to us that will be released at the end of the week, South Yorkshire has | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
not acted with the kind of competence that we would expect from | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
a British police force. I think the chief constable excepts that and | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
believes that they could've acted much better. We were concerned about | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
the lack of coherence and competence. For example, when they | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
dealt with the BBC over the issue of Cliff Richard. That is a separate | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
issue, that we may discuss another time. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
Let's move onto Shaun Wright, who will be giving evidence | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
How is it a man who was in charge of Children's Services at the height | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
of the child abuse ` can he keep his job as police commissioner after | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
countless calls for him to step down and a vote of no confidence? | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
You need to as him. We have decided today that we will be hearing from | :09:41. | :09:55. | |
Meredith Hughes. We have also asked Shaun Wright to come. We need to | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
wait until we have the evidence before we make up our minds. | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
Sheffield Council and others have made up their minds, but I think we | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
need to hear from him first before coming to a judgement. Do you think | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
you should step down? I think you should be allowed to give evidence | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
to us before we come to any conclusions. Other people had made | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
their decisions, but it is not need to make that decision. He is a | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
witness at the select committee and he should be able to give his | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
evidence in his own way. What price could Yorkshire pay | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
for Scottish independence? With just two weeks to go, would we | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
win or lose on the jobs front if Next tonight, | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
the speeding driver who police say allowed his grandson to kneel on | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
the front seat without a seatbelt. 66`year`old John Naisbitt, | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
from Hetton`le`hole in North Yorkshire, was banned | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
for six months and fined ?115. He is one of 24,000 drivers who have | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
been caught by North Yorkshire's The bulk of these, just over 20,000, | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
were first offenders who were In 396 cases, the offences were | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
considered so serious Police could not believe what they | :11:12. | :11:35. | |
were seeing. A child appears to be kneeling on the passenger seat with | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
no seat belt. The driver is lighting a cigarette and speeding at 70 mph | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
in a 60 limit. The car was being driven by this man. Today, he was | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
disqualified for six months and fined ?150. In court he argued that | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
his grandson was in a booster seat and he claimed that the seat belt | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
had gone behind him. This is the road that he was driving on. This | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
junction has become known as dangerous corner. But as the man | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
approached that he was speeding and lighting a cigarette. Right next to | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
him on the passenger seat was an unrestrained child. North Yorkshire | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Police said that this case should serve as a warning to motorists to | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
keep children safe in the car. I have got children and I understand | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
that they want to move about. But you are responsible for the care of | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
the child in your car. The man told magistrates he has lung cancer and | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
he needs to drive to hospital. He says his wife is disabled. But this | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
was the fourth time he had been caught speeding in three years. Now | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
he has been banned for six months and police hope it will be a wake`up | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
call. A man has been jailed | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
for five years for raping a woman 45`year`old Jeremy Frazer Newsome | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Smith, from London, attacked a 20`year`old girl at the La Chambre | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
club in the city last September. The woman was there with friends | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
at a Halloween party. Police have praised her | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
for her courage. Services on part of Sheffield's tram | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
network are to remain suspended for the rest of the week after | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
a hole opened up near the track. Blue and purple routes are currently | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
suspended between the main railway Sheffield Supertram says the problem | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
could affect the safety of services. Engineers are working to | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
determine the cause of the hole. Some BBC channel numbers have | :13:43. | :13:44. | |

of missing Huddersfield schoolboy Isaac Nash are hoping to raise | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
?50,000 to build a skate The 12 year old hasn't been seen | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
since he was swept out to sea This was Isaac doing his ice bucket | :14:14. | :14:36. | |
challenge. The water came from a freezing mountain stream and this | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
footage was taken one day before he died. His friends say it was | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
typical. Isaac was always getting into trouble in class. He did | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
anything he could to make everyone smile. He was really nice and really | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
funny and he got into trouble all the time. Happy memories and more | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
recently sad memories also. It has been very strange without him. There | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
is no one to laugh with because he is not there. We do a cross country | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
at our school every year and he always won. We hope that we can name | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the trophy after him. He would of won again. He liked skating and we | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
want to raise money to make a skate park. Isaac was swept out to sea | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
while on holiday last Friday. The search has failed to find him and | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
now it is being scaled down. His body may never be found. All that is | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
left is pictures and memories. Since it happened, we have been getting | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
together and talking about him. We went to the park and played on the | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
swing that he liked. A lovely tribute. | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
It is just over two weeks until Scotland decides on independence | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
and all this week on Look North we have been looking at what | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Tonight, we are talking money ` specifically what might happen to | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
our banks and other financial institutions if there is a yes vote. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
As our business correspondent, Danni Hewson, has been finding out, | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
it could have major implications for jobs. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
If you thought that the Scottish referendum was a long way away from | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
here, talk to anyone who talks in Yorkshire `` who works in | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
Yorkshire's financial sector. Those companies with offices here do | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
business in Scotland. The Yes campaign says that independence | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
should not make a difference to hide the companies operate, but the No | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
campaign says that there will be no pint and less security. Some | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
academics believe that the uncertainty will push businesses to | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
move and Yorkshire may be a good option. At the moment banks are | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
underwritten by the Bank of England, so there is a strong | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
central bank that makes sure that there is a government standing | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
behind the financial services sector. In the event of a yes vote, | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
that is not going to exist because there will not be a currency union. | :17:31. | :17:40. | |
One name has an issue. Many people at Yorkshire bank work across the | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
borders. People here have admitted that they are looking at contingency | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
plans. They did not want to add any more to the statement at this time. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
There is speculation that it could mean the relocation of hundreds of | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
jobs to Yorkshire. Lloyds TSB had indicated that a yes vote may cost | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
them to move south. But others think there is no need. There is no | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
economic case for the not being a currency union. It is in the best | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
interest of the UK and Scotland. With the boards approaching | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
quickly, the only certainty is uncertainty. That is proving that | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
for business. And we will continue with our look | :18:28. | :18:28. | |
at what the Scottish independence referendum means for Yorkshire | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
tomorrow, here on Look North. Looking for the hero | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
in your community. Our annual Yorkshire Awards are | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
round the corner and we are Football now, | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
and Huddersfield Town have appointed It is Chris Powell ` | :18:41. | :18:57. | |
the former Charlton boss ` who has been given the job of lifting | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Huddersfield up the Championship table, after the departure of | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Mark Robins three weeks ago. A short time ago, | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
our reporter Paul Ogden welcomed him Is it not strange how things ball | :19:07. | :19:22. | |
into place. It has been three weeks since Mark Robins left his job. | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
Huddersfield have been taking the time to find the right man for the | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
job. Welcome to Huddersfield. What do you think is wrong here? I do not | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
think that they are many things that are wrong. I am very impressed with | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
the vision that people have for the club. I have looked around the | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
stadium and the training ground and there is a lot to like. I think that | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
we will loss on `` I think that we will do very well. I want to see the | :20:01. | :20:09. | |
team compete. I want them to play their football | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
goals and be a winning football team. I am looking forward to | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
working with them. What do you think about moving to Yorkshire? People | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
may think you are a Londoner. I was born in London that I'm going to | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
embrace Huddersfield. I am excited coming up here, living up here, and | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
working up here. People here are good and proud of their football | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
team. Another warm welcome to you. So Yorkshire won by more than | :20:44. | :22:22. | |
an innings and have extended their lead in the Championship with | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
two matches left to play. The one cloud to Yorkshire's silver | :22:29. | :22:45. | |
lining and that is that they'll have to finish the job without | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
Captain Andrew Gale. He has been suspended | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
for two matches after arguing with a Lancashire player as they came | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
off the field yesterday. Now, it's that time of year | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
when we ask you to tell us It is part | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
of the 26th annual Yorkshire Awards, and we want you to tell us who | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
in your community has inspired you. It could be anyone from your local | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
football coach to people raising money for charity ` anyone who you | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
think deserves recognition for their We'll tell you how you can nominate | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
someone in just a moment, but first Dave Edwards takes a look back | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
at some of the previous winners. Last year, the hero award went to | :23:16. | :23:28. | |
Mike Collins who has been working with the Scouts for nearly 50 years. | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
He has helped his team unity for decades as a volunteer. He also | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
helped rescue people during the full odds. The roads were badly flooded | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
last year. We had to help people in the houses over the who, | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
unfortunately, got flooded badly. This drop`in centre was founded by a | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
man called Sam, who founded it in 2012. It is to create opportunities | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
for young people and more appropriate facilities for young | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
people. It is an alternative to congregating on the streets and aims | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
to cut youth crime and anti`social behaviour. In 2011, this woman one | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
for setting up a home for young men with drug addictions. When a woman | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
comes and says to me that she has got her son back, I think it is very | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
nice. And before that, it was clear wood. She had arthritis diagnosed at | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
only 15 years old. She has raised tens of thousands of pounds for | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
