Hello, welcome to Thursday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, how Bradford Counchl failed a vulnerable young rape victim. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
She tells us social workers allowed her to return to her abusivd father, | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
We'll ask what can be done to prevent other children | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
We are alive at a pub that hs opening tonight and asking whether | :00:19. | :00:36. | |
Michael Bury 's are behind ` resurgence in real ale drinking | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
And forget look, don't touch ` we're at a pioneering art exhibithon | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
that's positively encouraging visitors to have a feel. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
A Yorkshire council has admhtted that it failed to protect | :00:51. | :01:09. | |
a young girl from being repdatedly raped by her father. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
The girl, who we're calling Sarah, was allowed to return to | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
the family home after a court found him not guilty of rape. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
But within weeks the abuse started again and she | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Now, following her father's conviction and jail sentencd, | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
Bradford Council has told Look North that it is deeply sorry for not | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
It began when she was just ten years old | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
In 2003 she told police but in court he was cleared. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Sarah was in the care of Bradford Council but she was then | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
And the abuse at the hands of her father started again. | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
Social services said because he had got found not guilty | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
I thought I was doing the right thing speaking out | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
Sarah's abuse continued as Bradford Council repeatedly failed | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
In 2004 she became pregnant by her father and had an abortion. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Weeks later she told a social worker he was abushng her. | :02:13. | :02:27. | |
The errors by social services carried on. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
From July 2004 until the end of the year, they visited the family eight | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
In December 2004, they closed her case. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
One year later, she fell pregnant for a second time. | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
She went on to have her father's babx. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Bradford Council has given ts a statement saying, this wolan has | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
been through a terrible orddal and as a council we have fahled in | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
They say, we are deeply sorry for not doing enough to keep her safe. | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
But for Sarah, the apology is worthless. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
They should have done the job properly | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
in the first place and not sent me home for the abuse to continue. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
No words can describe how I feel against the council | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
for what they did to me and how my life is going to continud. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Sarah has agreed a settlement of Bradford Council | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Her father has now been convicted of sexual offences against her. | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
Part justice is done but it is still always going to be thdre. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
I've got to live with that for the rest of my life. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
If they had done the job properly it wouldn't have been like this | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
We're joined now by Peter S`unders from the National Association | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
How common is this sort of crime within a family? | :03:49. | :04:06. | |
It is absolutely abhorrent `nd I wish I could see that it was a rare | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
occurrence but unfortunatelx, sadly, we hear every day that it most | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
certainly is not. I really hope that this woman gets the support that she | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
will and in `` undoubtedly needs to move on with her life. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
What can we do to prevent this kind of terrible crime? | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
There are a whole raft of things we can do. For a start, the government | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
can institute a proper investigation into the whole spectre of child | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
abuse which we now know is `t epidemic levels. Barely a wdek goes | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
by when we are not called on by colleagues in the media to discuss | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
cases that are coming all over the country. Survivors are coming | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
forward. We are busier than ever. We have got to set down and have a | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
serious discussion. It is absolutely vital that survivors of abuse are | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
involved in that discussion because we have been there, we have suffered | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
it. People like the woman at the centre of this story, we nedd to | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
listen to her story and educate the authorities. We need to educate | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
society. I'm sorry to interject but hs it | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
unusual for a local authority to admit they have failed? | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
I think it is a step in the right direction but `` that an authority | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
admits it got it wrong. The general rule is denial. That is oftdn driven | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
by insurance and the financhal aspects of protecting the | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
institution. But I think we are gradually realising that we have got | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
to change, they've got to change, they've got to except when things | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
have gone badly wrong and hopefully we can move on in the futurd. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Thank you for that. I'm sorry I had to rush you. | :06:09. | :06:09. | |
No problem. On the day that Scottish voters | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
decide whether to break awax from the United Kingdom, | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
the Deputy Prime Minister Nhck Clegg has been in Yorkshire, | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
asking business leaders for their ideas about how to give us here | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
in the north of England mord power. Here' s our Political Editor, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Len Tingle. It was a simple question posed by | :06:25. | :06:39. | |
Nick Clegg. Why should the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish have the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
powers to choose how to spend most of the taxpayers money they | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
received, well those who live in Yorkshire don't? | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
We cannot carry on with this ludicrous anachronism. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
They invited audience here hn Leeds came from business, univershties and | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
local authorities in Yorkshhre. All agreed with the sentiment of | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
bringing more power to Yorkshire but there was some scepticism from the | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
renewed interest from national politicians. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
Money. If you can break the stranglehold of Whitehall then you | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
break the stranglehold of power He said we'd do occasionallx keep | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
giving you money to the reghonal growth fund and the City De`l which | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
argued. But it is still the old dependency. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
We should get more of our money Clearly that is something nobody | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
would refuse. But we duck and dive around the issue. | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
They need to talk to the people The Deputy Prime Minister w`s quite | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
clear. There will be no new assembly Parliament for any region in | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
England. As far as he is concerned, the building blocks to exercise | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
regional power are already hn place. A little earlier, I spoke to | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Mr Clegg and he acknowledged that Everything is far too centr`lised in | :08:07. | :08:20. | |
London. This is like an open forum for people to come up the bdst | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
ideas. I don't think the best ideas should be up in London, thex should | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
be thought of by people herd. Let's have the debate and we can gather | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the best ideas about how thd North can stand on its own two fedt and | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
not just about how policies can be passed down from London. I think | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
that will create momentum towards decentralised powers. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
So you're not guaranteeing `ny powers, just saying let's h`ve a | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
conversation? We have seen things like City | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
Deals, something I have spe`rheaded. ?1 billion transport infrastructure | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
fund here. We haven't seen this happen yet | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
though, haven't we? There are local debates which I m | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
not going to intervene in. H am a Sheffield MP so I won't get involved | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
in local debates but new tr`nsfer funds have been established. Leeds | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
has been leading the way in new schemes. Helping people not in | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
education, employment or tr`ining to find work. That has been successful | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
because it was decentralised from London. Nobody has a wisdom on this. | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
That everybody wants to see greater powers, greater freedoms, enjoyed in | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
the North of England so thex can create a kind of alternativd harp, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
and economic up. Why is that not happening now? You | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
have been in power in four xears `` for four years. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Lots of things have happened. But they have been slow comhng. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
You keep saying that. They have happened. We have local growth | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
deals, new borrowing powers, City Deals, retention of business rates, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
all these have never happendd before and it is simply not true to say | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
they have. I want to go further Curiously, the referendum in | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
Scotland has lifted a lid on a wider dissatisfaction about everything | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
being is centralised. Some people might say that councils | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
here are under so much pressure with the cuts that we have got ldss | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
spending power than they evdr had before. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
This is part of the problem. Councils are under huge pressure | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
because of the mass of Larkhall in public finance but I think the way | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
to square the circle, given there are no pots of gold lying around, is | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
to give more freedom to comlunities so that they are not just w`iting | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
for hand`outs from Whitehall. Even as we faced difficult financial | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
pressures, they can still do the things they want for their local | :11:23. | :11:23. | |
communities. Are we not in enough financhal | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
difficulty as it is? That is why you get the devhl in the | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
detail. You do not have taxpayers bailing out councils of the future. | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
Tomorrow, we will have more on what the Scottish referendum means for | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the future of lots. `` future of the Yorkshire. | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
We'll go behind the scenes of a new project with really high hopes. | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
A temporary Police Commissioner has been appointed in South Yorkshire. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
Shaun Wright stepped down from the role on Tuesday | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
after criticism following the report into grooming in Rotherham. | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
He's been replaced by Steve Pick, who is currently | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
The by`election for a new, permanent, | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
Police Commissioner will be held on Thursday the 30th of October | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
The Director of Children's Services in Rotherham has faced further calls | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
to resign after it emerged she was on sick leave. | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
Joyce Thacker's been at the centre of controversy after a report | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
revealed hundreds of childrdn had been sexually abused in the town. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Keith Vaz, the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committde, | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
has said her absence leaves the council in limbo and that she seemed | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
in perfect health while appdaring before his committee last wdek. | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
A new ?10 million training centre for staff who work | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
for the Yorkshire`based airline Jet2 has opened in Bradford todax. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Pilots, cabin crew and engineers will all undergo intensive training | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
at the centre which includes flight simulators and a mock`up | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Take off. Not from Leeds Br`dford, just Bradford, or rather from an | :13:02. | :13:20. | |
industrial estate on the edge of the city. Jet2 have decided to put their | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
new flight simulator is herd because so many of their staff are based in | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
the North. Add from Doncastdr is a new recruit. He will finish off his | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
final training at the centrd. I will be spending long hours here | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
and finishing late at night but it is right on my doorstep. | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
Once you come out, you can see it as no more than a big part movhng about | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
on its legs inside this wardhouse. Staff used to have to go to Gatwick | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
and Birmingham airports, now they will be able to train in thhs big | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
shared. Not just pilots but cabin crew, who will be learning how to | :14:02. | :14:14. | |
serve drinks. Lean forward and off you go. | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
It is really intense. The gtys have to come back every year and retrain | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
so they are kept up to speed with everything. But they really enjoy | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
coming here, especially now we have got our own facility. | :14:31. | :14:42. | |
Today, 1000 cabin crew, 600 pilots, engineers and administrators work | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
for the company. The training centre is another expansion from what is | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
becoming one of Yorkshire's biggest employers. | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Spent nearly ?10 million on this facility. The simulators ard very | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
expensive. We have a big te`m running them all week. But ht is | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
worth it because there is no aspect in aviation that is more important | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
than safety. Adam hopes qualify as a pilot within | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
months. Thanks to a simulator next to the mortar Mac 06. `` M06. | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
Yorkshire's love affair with beer is reaping rewards for not only | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
Here on Look North we've carried many reports about the coll`pse | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
But tonight one of Leeds' oldest pubs, the Griffin, is reopening | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
Its owners say they want to turn our passion for beer into an engine | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
This is one of the oldest ptbs in the area. It is next to an tnused | :15:46. | :16:10. | |
hotel. Why have the company lavished almost ?750,000 on rebranding it? It | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
could be because microbreweries are increasingly popular. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
This brewery was established to just 18 months ago but such is ddmand for | :16:25. | :16:37. | |
locally brewed beers, this lay `` microbrewery has increased demand. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Even the malt is locally supplied. We have got pale ale malt hdre and | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
crystal malt here. That will affect the flavour a little bit. Most of | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
the character and the flavotr is from the hops. Have a smell. | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
Strong but quite pleasant. @cross the region, there are more than 140 | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
companies brewing beer. As luch as I would love to, I'm driving so I will | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
have to decline. I will be happy to relieve xou of | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
that. What is driving the success of | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
microbreweries? It is the quality. The eclectic | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
styles and different types of beers from around the country is far | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
beyond what the big boys usdd to do. Yorkshire is the centre of the | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
universe for real ale, as f`r as I am concerned. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
In an age when up to 28 pubs are closing across Britain everx week, | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
it is perhaps surprising to find one opening. | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
Tonight, the people are herd by invitation only so if you do want to | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
sample some real ale and whx not, this establishment opens ovdr the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
next day or so. The microbrdweries confident that their market is only | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
going one way and that is up. Thank you. I hope you have not been | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
sampling too much about yourself. Ian's at an art exhibition with | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
a difference. Find out what makes him worth | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
so much money. Yorkshire Cricket has said ht will | :18:32. | :18:44. | |

he's now been charged with tsing Our sports reporter, Tanya, | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
joins me now. This relates to a game a few weeks | :19:06. | :19:21. | |
ago when Andrew Gale got annoyed at what he perceived to be timd | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
wasting. There was an exchange of views with industrial langu`ge and | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
it is alleged that Andrew G`le said go back to your own country, and use | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
this term Kolpak. What is that? | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
It is a term that refers to players from overseas who are allowdd to | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
play but are not considered overseas players. | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
What is going to happen now? It will be a disciplinary hdaring | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
but we don't have a date yet. Yorkshire says they will support | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Andrew Gale in every way and give him the best legal advice they can. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
We understand they have somd high`profile legal advice. Hf he has | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
found guilty, we don't really know because this is the first charge of | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
its kind so we are new terrhtory here. But they will fight this all | :20:22. | :20:25. | |

developed a brain should wrdstle his family worked on creating ilages | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
that could be enjoyed by people who have trouble seeing. | :22:10. | :22:21. | |
This is a three`dimensional print. You can feel the belly button and | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
nipples and even the contour of his nose. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
I recognise those muscles. Definitely. Sorry, David. | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
The artwork uses a combinathon of raised lines and textures, | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
accompanied by Brunel and a detailed description folder. `` braille. | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
This is the first time tacthle images are displayed alongshde the | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
prints they are representing and that is so that people can come | :22:57. | :23:03. | |

experience together. 15`year`old Omar as taking ` dim | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
view of people who think th`t people with sight problems are intdrested | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
in art. Anybody can enjoy art because you | :23:20. | :23:25. | |

So come and have a feel as the exhibition runs for ten days. | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
Ian White, our new tactile correspondent. | :23:40. | :23:40. | |
He went straight for the abs, didn't he? | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Picture the scene at Skipton Auction Mart. | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
One ram enters the ring and all the farmers sit up straight | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
This ram is a beast to behold, and he's broken a ten`year record at | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
If, like me, you think all sheep are like, think again. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Most of these animals are worth about ?500 but one is worth has | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
This is Tenacious, the most expensive ram sold | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
He has got a good head on hhm, a good wide head, a good shoulder, | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
a good length to him, good muscle across the top | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
of the back and then the muscling and jiggets underneath as wdll. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
The jiggets, or gigot by the time they are | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Ever since I could walk, I've been into sheep. | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
Since he was born, I knew he was quite special. | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
That was probably 18 months ago so you have to get | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
the feeding regimes right, xou have to look after them, have to make | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
sure the feed is all right, you generally have to be a good farmer | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Tenacious will be used as a stud ram to father more meaty offsprhng. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
If they weigh 19 stone like he does, that is a lorra lorra lamb. | :25:03. | :25:17. | |
Let us move on to the prospdcts for the weather. | :25:18. | :25:28. | |
I think the cloud is more rdluctant to clear. Let's look at somd | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
pictures that in the last 24 hours. Visibility very poor for a golfer | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
there. But this is what happened across | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
many parts by mid`afternoon. We have more cloud coming in from the North | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
Sea. Tomorrow will be cloudx and drizzly to start. Hence of change on | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
Saturday night with that cold front `` hints of change. You can see the | :26:03. | :26:14. | |
satellite picture and that low cloud lurking in coastal areas. That is | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
now heading inland. We see dxtensive low cloud. A foggy night along the | :26:23. | :26:31. | |
coast with some drizzle and Mr Ness `` misty conditions. | :26:32. | :26:44. | |
It is a great, drizzly, damp start for the trans`Pennine route. That | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
drizzle will dry away and it could be a hint of brightness in the | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
afternoon. One to thunder showers coming into the south`west `s we | :27:02. | :27:13. | |
move through the day. I think it is a good couple of degrees down on | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
where we were today. Saturd`y looks similar, Dahl and damp. `` dull | :27:20. | :27:37. | |
That is about as far as we go. We will have the update at 8pm and I | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
will be back with the late news at 10:25pm. Goodbye. | :27:43. | :28:14. | |
