South Yorkshire's beleaguerdd police commissioner faces the publhc.

:00:10.:00:14.

Angry victims of child sexual exploitation

:00:15.:00:15.

in Rotherham tell Shaun Wright exactly that they think of him.

:00:16.:00:18.

I have had to live with this for 12 years and what have you done

:00:19.:00:21.

We will hear how a vote of no confidence in Mr Wright has

:00:22.:00:27.

The Yorkshire medical teams promising injured servicemen

:00:28.:00:32.

We have a special report from Afghanistan.

:00:33.:00:38.

The sun is shining for Ladids' Day at the St Leger in Doncaster.

:00:39.:00:41.

First tonight to heated scenes at a public meeting in Rothdrham,

:00:42.:01:12.

where victims of grooming came face`to`face with

:01:13.:01:14.

the police and crime commissioner at the centre of the child sexual

:01:15.:01:17.

Shaun Wright appeared beford South Yorkshire's Police and Crime

:01:18.:01:19.

Panel ` the organisation whose job it is to scrutinise his acthons

:01:20.:01:22.

The public were also invited and he faced a barrage

:01:23.:01:24.

of questions ` before being told the panel had no confidence in him and

:01:25.:01:28.

Our political editor, Len Thngle, was at the hearing.

:01:29.:01:34.

Len, a lot of angry people in that meeting today.

:01:35.:01:48.

In the and to attend. Sever`l days ago, it was MPs from Westminster.

:01:49.:01:58.

Today it was harder questions from a different source. There werd around

:01:59.:02:03.

40 people in the public gallery many of whom were victims or friends

:02:04.:02:09.

and family some of the young girls who were sexually assaulted. Look at

:02:10.:02:11.

reception he received. This was the first chance for

:02:12.:02:20.

victims and their families to confront the Police and Crile

:02:21.:02:23.

Commissioner since the extent of Shaun Wright's sexual assault had

:02:24.:02:33.

been uncovered. Everybody in this country is asking you to resign Why

:02:34.:02:36.

will you not doing the corrdct thing? I have had to live whth this

:02:37.:02:44.

for 12 years. You should st`nd down. Stand down. Shaun Wright shrugged

:02:45.:02:53.

the criticism off. He said the blame was on more than his shoulddrs. I

:02:54.:02:58.

accept that many people havd called on me to resign. I accept that and

:02:59.:03:02.

some of the reasons for that. However, I believe that everyone

:03:03.:03:07.

shares the responsibility of keeping young people safe. It takes a hokey

:03:08.:03:13.

minute it takes a hokey mintted of a child. `` it takes a keen unity to

:03:14.:03:31.

look after the interests of a child. Earlier this week, Shaun Wrhght told

:03:32.:03:37.

MPs he had received many messages of support. He was asked to nale them.

:03:38.:03:42.

Many of the messages of support have come in many different form`ts. I

:03:43.:03:48.

have not asked the individu`ls if I can share those messages, bdcause

:03:49.:03:53.

they've made any private capacity. This panel made up from councillors

:03:54.:04:00.

across Yorkshire, dated the most strong action they could. It was

:04:01.:04:08.

another call for his resign`tion. It is terrible that they commissioner

:04:09.:04:12.

has been able to walk away from a meeting today still holding the

:04:13.:04:16.

position that he holds. Somd of the evidence that we heard was harrowing

:04:17.:04:21.

from victims and from victils' family. I believe that the

:04:22.:04:28.

Commissioner is now part of the problem rather than part of the

:04:29.:04:32.

solution. Shaun Wright said that despite the pressure he is staying

:04:33.:04:37.

Well, after the meeting Len spoke exclusively to the police

:04:38.:04:39.

commissioner Shaun Wright and began by asking him about his priorities

:04:40.:04:43.

put. I have made it very cldar from the beginning that this will be

:04:44.:04:58.

tackled as a priority. Therd has been no other Police Commissioner or

:04:59.:05:04.

police force that has invested the three authors `` invested the

:05:05.:05:08.

resources that we have here. Everyone has responsibility for

:05:09.:05:11.

looking after children, we `ll need to work together. That does not mean

:05:12.:05:20.

that we are going to be abld to completely prevent this frol taking

:05:21.:05:25.

place. It is very difficult to stop. Do you have any credibility to push

:05:26.:05:34.

for it that opinion? Everyone from the Prime Minister down the way says

:05:35.:05:40.

that you should go. I am afraid to say that everyone from the Prime

:05:41.:05:44.

Minister down has probably not read the report. So everybody is wrong

:05:45.:05:49.

and you are the only person that is right? You are the only person who

:05:50.:05:56.

can champion because of these girls? I am happy to stand by my rdcord.

:05:57.:06:02.

But your record shows that xou have not even managed to reduce the rate

:06:03.:06:07.

of this crime. My record shows that I and the police force have put in

:06:08.:06:14.

place a huge amount of work and action. There are ten times more

:06:15.:06:18.

police officers and much more investment than we have ever had in

:06:19.:06:25.

the past. When I came into office, there were ten people dealing with

:06:26.:06:32.

this and now there are 62. Xou said that you have lots of support to

:06:33.:06:37.

carry on, including from MPs. We contacted all the MPs a Yorkshire

:06:38.:06:41.

and 12 of them said that yot should go and the other two did not give an

:06:42.:06:49.

answer. Many people have sent me e`mails and text messages and phone

:06:50.:06:51.

calls expressing many different views. I understand why people may

:06:52.:07:00.

think that I should resign on the back of lots of publicity over this

:07:01.:07:06.

be bought. People think that I have questions to answer. I have

:07:07.:07:12.

addressed those questions in a respectful way and today I have put

:07:13.:07:15.

out my own account of what took place. I maintain that I take my

:07:16.:07:21.

share of the responsibility along with the council and the police and

:07:22.:07:25.

all the other members of st`ff who were involved. Everyone needs to

:07:26.:07:29.

take some of the responsibility We know that there is going to be an

:07:30.:07:46.

independent inquiry. Now, this committee has referred Shaun Wright

:07:47.:07:49.

to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. After the second week

:07:50.:08:00.

since this report is published, Shaun Wright now knows he h`s many

:08:01.:08:02.

more questions to answer. Well, one of

:08:03.:08:04.

the people who confronted the crime She was 11

:08:05.:08:06.

when she says she was groomdd by a Holly and her mother spoke to

:08:07.:08:10.

Phil Bodmer after the meeting. While I was on the care of the local

:08:11.:08:28.

party, I was groomed and abtsed by a no`win sex offender. NDN, I was the

:08:29.:08:37.

one who was arrested. Frustrated and angry. Failed by the police, Shaun

:08:38.:08:44.

Wright, and the council. Thhs women spoke out in front of the p`nel The

:08:45.:08:54.

police seem to know that people were having inappropriate sex. She says

:08:55.:09:01.

that the abuse started when she was around 13 years old. I was talking

:09:02.:09:08.

to a man who was 23 years old. On one occasion, the police cale and

:09:09.:09:12.

find me with him in a hotel. They let him walk free. When he walked

:09:13.:09:21.

out, they put me in a policd car and told me that he was on the sex

:09:22.:09:27.

offenders register. You knew and they knew that he was on thd

:09:28.:09:31.

register, but no action was taken no. The girl's mother also spoke at

:09:32.:09:43.

the meeting. I ask Shaun Wrhght today `` I asked Shaun Wright today

:09:44.:09:51.

what had happened and whethdr these girls would be safe. He did not

:09:52.:09:58.

answer my question. People `re not happy and they do not want him here.

:09:59.:10:08.

This girl says that the sittation to her youth away from her. Yot have to

:10:09.:10:16.

grow up then. Meanwhile, thhs woman says she has little confidence in

:10:17.:10:20.

Shaun Wright or the council. She believes that if he stays in power

:10:21.:10:24.

nothing will change. How dods that make you feel? Scared. I am scared

:10:25.:10:33.

for Rotherham. I am scared for the children. What is he is doing?

:10:34.:10:36.

As Yorkshire close in on thd County Championship title,

:10:37.:10:40.

It has been another great d`y for Yorkshire. They need only fhve more

:10:41.:10:53.

wickets tomorrow. A South Yorkshire Police officer

:10:54.:10:56.

charged with causing a teenage girl to engage

:10:57.:10:58.

in sexual activity has appe`red Daniel Cookson ` seen here hn the

:10:59.:11:01.

blue shirt and tie ` was suspended The offence allegedly occurred

:11:02.:11:07.

between March and November last year,

:11:08.:11:13.

while he was based in Rotherham Mr Cookson appeared at

:11:14.:11:15.

Leeds Crown Court this mornhng. He was released on bail to `ppear at

:11:16.:11:18.

Sheffield Crown Court next Thursday. The Bradford`based supermarket chain

:11:19.:11:23.

Morrisons has had a 51% fall in profits for the first half

:11:24.:11:29.

of this year. Morrisons said profits were hit

:11:30.:11:31.

by a cut in prices to compete with Flood defences costing more than ?50

:11:32.:11:34.

million are being planned The scheme is an effort to prevent

:11:35.:11:43.

a repeat of the devastating damage caused by flooding in

:11:44.:11:47.

South Yorkshire in 2007. It is thought to be one

:11:48.:11:51.

of the largest projects Sheffield City Council says

:11:52.:11:54.

the investment is vital to protect We know that Sheffield is a city

:11:55.:11:58.

of rivers. We know that around 2,000 btsinesses

:11:59.:12:04.

and 6,000 residents are currently It is absolutely vital that we make

:12:05.:12:08.

this investment to protect those businesses ` particularly

:12:09.:12:13.

as flooding becomes more frdquent Don't forget,

:12:14.:12:15.

there are just a few days ldft to nominate your community hero

:12:16.:12:23.

for this year's Yorkshire Awards. To nominate someone you need to tell

:12:24.:12:28.

us in under 100 words why you think they deserve to be

:12:29.:12:32.

Yorkshire's Community Hero of 2 14. We have looked at the growing

:12:33.:13:17.

reputation of of that. It is about ensuring that

:13:18.:14:43.

our Armed Forces now that wd will be there to catch them if they fall. I

:14:44.:14:54.

am just feeling along the spine It has very good teamwork. We have a

:14:55.:15:02.

surgical team that step back and as they are required they are called

:15:03.:15:06.

forward. The success of this hospital comes in many forms. This

:15:07.:15:12.

body scanner assesses injurx. This scanner allows us to scan a whole

:15:13.:15:20.

person in 15 seconds. It allows us to see how bad the injuries are and

:15:21.:15:28.

helps us to plan the surgerx. If someone needs an application, they

:15:29.:15:38.

can use this machine to dechde how much of the remaining limb can be

:15:39.:15:47.

saved. The operating theatrd. The survival rates here are

:15:48.:15:55.

astonishing. We pride ourselves in the fact that we can give assurance

:15:56.:15:59.

that any soldier or patient that comes into this facility has a very

:16:00.:16:06.

good chance of survival. Thdy have worked hard over the last fdw years

:16:07.:16:09.

to achieve the state that they are in at the moment. It is a good

:16:10.:16:15.

legacy for us to leave behind. When I saw my first patient I was quite

:16:16.:16:21.

anxious. I did not know if H would be able to deal with it mentally. We

:16:22.:16:31.

have now been taught what to expect. If this is the end result, this is

:16:32.:16:37.

the beginning. The medical response team are at the first on thd team

:16:38.:16:42.

and they are often under attack You are really on the front lind. What

:16:43.:16:49.

do you do hear? This is the medical response team and we have RDF

:16:50.:16:59.

protection and a medical st`ff `` are eight F. Still. The repttation

:17:00.:17:12.

of the hospital is very good. Absolutely. The guys and thd girls

:17:13.:17:20.

on the ground are dealing whth the injuries immediately and thdn we

:17:21.:17:25.

come in and we can deliver lads and more exams techniques to increase

:17:26.:17:33.

the chance the patient will survive. When you get out you are behng shot

:17:34.:17:37.

at and you are under attack. How do you deal with that? There is always

:17:38.:17:43.

an element of danger. We ard very well trained. We are prepardd to

:17:44.:17:50.

deal with these situations. We try to reduce the risk as much `s we

:17:51.:17:56.

can, but the risk as much as we can, but there are protection guxs do an

:17:57.:17:59.

excellent job of protecting art on the ground. There is incredhble

:18:00.:18:04.

teamwork and professionalisl. Absolutely. We have to work

:18:05.:18:11.

together. We could not have the guys surviving the injuries with such

:18:12.:18:15.

good outcomes without the pdople on the ground. It is a massive team

:18:16.:18:26.

effort to give our guys the best quality of life.

:18:27.:18:32.

The hospital has earned its reputation and now it is up to the

:18:33.:18:39.

Afghans. It is a top reputation to follow. That lady works for the NHS

:18:40.:18:54.

when she is not abroad. Thex must have one of the most stressful jobs

:18:55.:18:56.

in the world. Also tomorrow night, we will meet

:18:57.:18:58.

the men from the RAF regiment based at Leeming who are responsible

:18:59.:19:01.

for the security of the basd ` some of the bravest servicelen

:19:02.:19:04.

and women I have come across. And, we will also meet the

:19:05.:19:07.

wonderful military working dogs They do an amazing job ` thdir level

:19:08.:19:09.

of training is incredible ` We will take a look at some of

:19:10.:19:12.

the fabulous fashions on display. Now onto cricket, and they `re

:19:13.:19:31.

within touching distance but Yorkshire will take thehr bid

:19:32.:19:35.

for the County Championship They enforced the follow`on this

:19:36.:19:38.

morning and it was nip and tuck Tanya Arnold is at Trent Brhdge

:19:39.:19:46.

for us. It has been fantastic. At one point

:19:47.:20:02.

this afternoon, we thought ht might all be over. However, they dropped

:20:03.:20:11.

if you captures. The bottom line is that Yorkshire need bit mord wickets

:20:12.:20:12.

to become the County Champions. Yorkshire began to tighten their

:20:13.:20:31.

grip on the game. They pickdd up three wickets before the ch`rge was

:20:32.:20:44.

halted, for a while. They ptt on 63. Yorkshire enforce the follow`on

:20:45.:20:51.

and Sidebottom struck immedhately. Then there was a great catch. It

:20:52.:21:02.

took a while, but they got there. There was some goods wicketkeeping.

:21:03.:21:08.

Sidebottom came back into the attack. The day ended with

:21:09.:21:15.

Nottingham 180 behind. I caught up with the acting

:21:16.:21:21.

Yorkshire captain. It was a good day. We got 10 wickets

:21:22.:21:33.

and that isn't Hasek. There is a lot of hard work to go tomorrow. To get

:21:34.:21:39.

to the position that we are now is a testament to how well the gtys have

:21:40.:21:41.

performed. If they do when, Andrew Gald will be

:21:42.:22:00.

picking up the trophy. I understand that he has been bought a Chelsea

:22:01.:22:06.

top to tease him. If Yorkshhre win the trophy tomorrow, it will be him

:22:07.:22:16.

that gets to lift it up. I cannot believe he would want to we`r a

:22:17.:22:22.

Chelsea shirt. There is no doubt that they are going to pull it off.

:22:23.:22:24.

Now, the lovely ladies of South Yorkshire and

:22:25.:22:26.

beyond have got their handb`gs and glad rags out today for the St Leger

:22:27.:22:29.

Yes, it is Ladies' Day and who better to judge all those

:22:30.:22:33.

fabulous frocks than our very own snappy dresser, Ian White.

:22:34.:22:37.

The weather is marvellous, the atmosphere is great, thd booze

:22:38.:22:41.

is flowing, and these guys `re happy because it is Ladies' Day

:22:42.:23:05.

This is the first time I have been to ladies day.

:23:06.:23:15.

We're just here for the weather and the beer.

:23:16.:23:37.

I normally have a bigger fascinator, but I thought I would tone ht

:23:38.:23:53.

I knew you were women who would have a bigger fascinator.

:23:54.:23:58.

We all have to ring each other and ask what we are wearing tod`y, so we

:23:59.:24:06.

Of course, not every lady here can entdr

:24:07.:24:24.

Right Mr White, there has been some reports that you

:24:25.:24:29.

It is about time that some rain slapped that cheeky man. `` some

:24:30.:25:13.

rain slapped. This photograph is amazing. It is the best one I have

:25:14.:25:23.

seen this year. I also like this photograph. It was taken on Monday

:25:24.:25:31.

morning. This photograph is also beautiful.

:25:32.:25:32.

There will be some myths and fog at first, but it will be a settled

:25:33.:25:52.

weekend. This afternoon, it was 20 Celsius in York. Overnight, this

:25:53.:26:04.

cloud will come inland. Somd areas are at risk of mist and fog. There

:26:05.:26:14.

will be some clear spells, with temperatures at around 7`11 Celsius.

:26:15.:26:27.

Here are the high water timds. There will be mist and fog and variable

:26:28.:26:35.

cloud. However, there will be pleasant sunshine breaking through

:26:36.:26:41.

:26:42.:26:55.

Further inland, 17`18 Celsits. It will feel pleasant. That is the

:26:56.:26:58.

forecast. Welcome back.
