06/01/2014 Inside Out North West

Hello and welcome to a new series of Inside Out North West.

Tonight, the North West charity rescuing victims of human

trafficking, life of slavery. You find them in every part of society,

whether it is carwash in, agriculture or the food industry.

After fighting drink, drugs and depression, exclusive access to

Ricky Hatton's the discharge. It is where I get my buzz from. And how

industrial heritage can turn a South Pennines into a national park. It

dominates the valley. It is beautiful. People come from miles

away to see this. I North West charity is warning

about the spread of human trafficking in our region. Hope For

Justice has rescued one had an 2 Justice has rescued one had an 2

victims of in the last two years. `` 142. They say more needs to be done

to combat this growing crime. I have been finding out about the trend in

human beings here in the North West. `` the trade.

This is the moment months of being held as slaves comes to an end for

two alleged victims of human trafficking. Just as they have been

moved to another location, the police and rescue workers step in.

Scenes like this are becoming more common as the number of people

trafficked in the UK increase. It is being described as the invisible

crime because its victims are `` and the work being forced to do is often

hidden from society. Last year, a couple from Salford were jailed for

trafficking a ten`year`old girl into the country from Pakistan. The court

heard how bilious and Tallat Ashar kept the girl, who was deaf, in a

cold, damp cellar with no contact with the outside world, for nearly a

decade. `` Ilyas and Tallat Ashar. She was repeatedly raped and beaten

and forced the work as a domestic slave of 40 was eventually

discovered by chance and rescued. As shocking as this case is, it does

not surprise those working for the Manchester`based human trafficking

charity, Hope For Justice. I have dealt with numerous cases of the

most horrific tens of abuse, `` kinds, that is with them to be

shocking to me. Today it stops being shocking to me is the date I stopped

doing this job. But certainly, it doesn't surprise me, from the cases

I have dealt with biggest Beardsley. A domino, people are brought into

the country via some kind of perception, that can be false

promises of work or a different life in this country. When people get

into this country, the world is very different from the one they were led

to believe? They could be in a situation of forced labour on a

situation where they are forced to work as a prostitute. I used to

think that the UK was a place of freedom. Many of the victims that

Hope For Justice helps were too scared to report the crime to the

authorities. By setting of the charity the founders hope they could

reach out to more people who would otherwise remain trapped by those

controlling them. Co`founder Ben Cooley decided to launch Hope For

Justice after helping out at an anti`slavery event in Manchester ten

years ago. Can you tell me about the origins of Hope For Justice? I went

to an awareness event at Manchester Town Hall. I was doing some

backstage work. It was about human trafficking. I remember sitting,

hearing the statistics, 27 million people were in slavery, 120 million

Jordan every year are sold. `` children. I walked out of the

building and thought, if that was my daughter, I would do something. The

next thought I had was, it is someone's. , I should do something.

`` someone's daughter. So, where would we expect to see

people who have been trafficked working? In every part of society,

whether it is car washing, construction, agricultural or food

industry. Generally, it happens in businesses where it is cash in hand.

Are there obvious signs that somebody is being trafficked and

exploited? Siam that Mike many signs. There can be 50 people living

in a two`bedroom house, getting picked up at 5am and dropped off at

1am, it is the control mechanism surrounding them. We have

specifically done, spotting the signs on our website so people can

familiarise themselves, and if they do spot signs, know how to reported.

`` report it. Someone who was trafficked into this country five

years ago, they were made vulnerable because of social isolation and the

inability to speak the language. because of social isolation and the

inability to speak the language He inability to speak the language He

was put to work for the benefit of someone else. That is forced labour

and it is happening in our communities. Your community. So, how

did you first come to this country? One day, I just went to the shop. On

the way there, I met my friend. He asked me if I would like to come to

England to work, I said yes. That would be good. He said, come back

the next day at ten o'clock in the morning. The next day, I met the man

who brought me here. What kind of work were you doing and how many

days did you work? Any kind of jobs, on a building site, we used to work

every day, seven days a week, from Monday to Sunday and from morning

until evening. It was like around ?30 a week, that was maximum. Did

you feel he had power over you, that you were a slave to him? Yes, I

believe that, because we were really doing a lot of work and sometimes,

big jobs. There was no money for it. We had to live in the same room and

sleep on the same bed, four men. It sleep on the same bed, four men It

was not that we really expected. was not that we really expected

Some people will not understand why people do not walk out of an open

door. Fear is a very strong feeling. Fear of what would happen if they

ran away, not only to you, but to your loved ones. People often talk

about slavery and imagine people being locked in cages. Why put

someone in a physical cage when you can put them in a mental cage? We

will assist the police... It is the morning of a rescue in West

Yorkshire. Members of the charity's investigation team attend an early

morning briefing ahead of a joint operation with the police. They are

themselves former police officers and work closely with the West

Yorkshire force. The intelligence we have is that they leave at 7am to go

to work. It is understood there are two human trafficking victims

allegedly being held in house. The plan is to rescue them as they leave

for work and for the police to arrest suspected trafficker. Two

males walking down the alleyway. Do you have a visual? But things are

not going to plan. The two alleged victims and the suspect it into a

taxi and leave the scene. `` get into.

The police have seen enough. They decide to move in and make an

arrest. The two victims are rescued by the charity's team and are

interviewed. They are being debriefed, in detail about what has

happened to them, so we can establish exactly what the situation

is. The other person has been arrested and I understand he is been

searched, a credit card in the names of the two potential victims have

been found. This is a classic sign that their financial assets are

being controlled. Since filming the rescue, the man arrested by the

police has been bailed pending further enquiries. When you rescue

the victim and you have success, further enquiries. When you rescue

the victim and you have success you celebrate, and as we look around,

you can see the symbols of that. you can see the symbols of that.

Every time we get a rescue, we crack open a bottle of champagne, we get

every single partner together and we celebrate the life that has changed.

We mark that moment, because I believe you have to celebrate. You

have had some notable successes can have had some notable successes can

you tell us about some of them? I remember meeting a three`month`old

baby, and just see that baby malnourished, to see its siblings in

the manner of which they were degraded and... It really touched

me. Some of them were the ages of my daughter. The greatest joy of my job

is to see them a few weeks later, dancing and singing. To see the baby

with big, chubby cheeks. It is the most amazing thing to do with your

life. The most amazing thing. Coming up, the campaign to put the South

Pennines on the map. Because it is hidden underground, it is a hidden

gem, that is what makes it even more special. You feel quite honoured to

be part of it. It has been almost a year since

Ricky Hatton finally threw in the towel on an incredible career which

took in the highs of Las Vegas to the lows of drink and drug

addiction. We have exclusive access to his new career, as a trainer.

Ricky Hatton is a Manchester and UK boxing legend. The pride of Hyde had

a well`documented fall from grace with a party lifestyle involving

drink and drugs. It almost cost him his career and his life. I was

suffering badly from depression, and anybody will tell you, the worst

thing you can do is drink, or suddenly take drugs. Then, I was

coming home, and I wanted to end my life. This was a long way from the

heights he achieved as a champion of the world. You start off, you have

dreams of becoming the world champion, and you never believe they

will come true. In the end, record crowds in Vegas, the City of

Manchester Stadium, I won four world titles, that little kid from a

council estate to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, it was a dream I will

never wake up from. Ricky Hatton is on his way. The walk from the

changing rooms, on the way to the ring. He admitted to feeling

nervous. The hairs standing up on the back of your neck, that is what

makes it exciting. The butterflies are churning, he has to perform. In

are churning, he has to perform In 2007, he was on top of his game, a

2007, he was on top of his game a world champion, and he drew the rich

and famous to his fight. He was adored by his fans, who travelled in

their thousands to Las Vegas, when he stepped into the ring against

Floyd Mayweather. He was in control and, in his eyes, invincible. Ricky

Hatton! He fought hard but suffered his

first`ever defeat. He pinpoints this is the start of his battle with his

toughest opponent Tom depression. I went there expecting to beat him.

When I did not, things turned out very badly for me. Another world

title fight was arranged, this time against another of the world's best

fighters, Manny Pacquiao. Ricky says he was physically and mentally

unprepared for the fight and its aftermath. He is still strong at

this weight, having been a world champion at four weights. That might

end it! A massive left`hand! To be destroyed in two rounds, I never

thought anybody could do that to me. It was very hard for a man of my

pride. That added to my depression, my greatest opportunities, I never

got chance for people to see the real Ricky Hatton. It left many

asking if he would ever step back into the ring. It was not long

before he gave them their answer and announced his retirement. I had no

enthusiasm to do it. The minute your heart is not in the game, you have

got to walk away, because you get hurt in it. Retirement without

boxing to keep him occupied grooved a low point for him. He fell out

with his parents and his trainer and very publicly went off the rails. I

was drinking heavily, more heavily than I have ever drunk, and that led

to meet taking drugs. In 2010, he was all over the papers after he was

seen in a hotel room taking cocaine. The fallout hit him hard. I thought,

everybody knows now. How bad I am struggling. It added to everything,

it got worse and worse and worse. I proudest achievement was the fans,

and I thought, these fans are not going to want to know Ricky Hatton

now. That hurt me more than anything. I let everyone down. I was

a very poorly person. One day, I was in the house downstairs, and I

thought, I do not see my parents, I do not have boxing any more, what do

I have two before? I tried to kill myself. I never had the courage to

go with it, but me trying to give it, I never had the courage to go

through with it. Thankfully, I did not. With support from his

girlfriend, he started getting help. A turning point was when Jennifer

gave birth to his daughter. I picked her up and I thought, I want her to

read good things about her dad. It made me get my act together. I

started going to the gym a bit more, getting fit, and eventually, it

became elated in me making a comeback. Looking for redemption, he

lined up a fight in Manchester against a former world champion,

Viacheslav Senchenko. But would he still has what it takes after three

years out of the ring? A lot of people were worried about it, but I

had to do it. I picked a dangerous opponent, with only one defeat in

35, and people started going, fair play to him. After four rounds, my

punching was not landing on target, they were falling short, I could not

get out of the way in of. The reactions were not there. When I

went down, everybody's heart was broken. The referee was counting and

the crowd were going, come on, come on! I could not do it. It was silent

for five or ten minutes, you could hear a pin drop. The crowd have

responded very well. They are all on their feet, singing his name. They

started singing, there is only one Ricky Hatton. People see me as one

of their own. It was heartbreaking, but they were proud of me again,

ultimately, that is what it was all about. He spends his time training

young fighters and hoping they can learn from his experience. I am a

better trainer now than I was when I first started. I have got rid of

everything, now my passion is for the kids that I train. Excellent!

Very good. My next goal will be to make a world champion of somebody.

When I look in the gym and the house and the things that my family have

got that we could never have dreamt of, I would live to give those

things to some other youngster. Who knows, on the ring apron at the

Manchester Arena or in Las Vegas, another British fighter that the

country can be proud of. Change the angle. It will never replace the

fighting, but it is the next best thing. I do it with people like

Ryan, he is very talented, dedicated, he puts his heart and

soul into it, and I have got to give him my heart and soul. You only get

one chance, I do not want to leave any stone unturned. He is a nice

kid, it is a pleasure to train him, that is where I get my bus from.

that is where I get my bus from Even though Ricky has got his life

by contract, there are still some issues left unresolved. I have done

right by my family. If they had said one word, sorry, maybe we can move

forward, but they have no room or so. Unfortunately, that is a shame.

It is a sad then, I do not wish them any harm,

It is a sad then, I do not wish them far away. They live up the road.

far away. They live up the road They passed me in the car, I might

see Matthew in the pub, we do not talk. I had to be disappointed. It

is hard. Very hard. His fight against depression is ongoing, but

invigorated by his new challenge to change `` to train the champions of

the future means he is not the just yet. I still have good and bad days,

but on the back days, I am not scared of telling people. What

should I do? It was hard for me to admit, as a world champion, hard as

nails, to say, I need help, I feel sad, or should I do? If more people

do that, fewer people will be in trouble like I was.

We all know how spectacular the Pennine landscape is. Is it not time

the rest of the country found out as well? A campaign is under way to

officially put the South Pennines on the map as a national park or an

area of outstanding natural beauty. We rightly celebrate our national

parks as areas of beauty and splendour. They are the places that

really make Britain great. But the South Pennines, the land that

inspired the Brontes and Ted Hughes, seems to have been forgotten. I am

going to take a journey across this rugged landscape to see why many

people are saying we need to look at this part of the North with a fresh

pair of eyes. The South Pennines stretches from Skipton to Oldham and

takes in the wild moors of East Lancashire and the valleys around

Huddersfield. It is a huge and diverse part of the country. It is

one that people are passionate about. From her farm high above

Rossendale, Chris Thomas runs a trekking business, using the old

industrial trails for 12 once the lifeblood of the land. It is a

beautiful landscape and has a sense of rugged Neds and hardship. It is a

hard landscape to work in, but the fact it is a real rugged landscape,

a working landscape, is part of the attraction. Today, we take our

national parks were granted, but it is not that long ago that the idea

of setting up areas for the masses to enjoy felt revolutionary. He is a

flavour of the argument. In the 1930s, this film was shown in

cinemas to make the case that the countryside is for everybody, not

just the landed gentry. It made sense. Life in Britain was changing

fast and people needed a break from the hectic life. The grand open

country, with the keen air coming across the hills and Dales, and the

rivers and lakes, offering havens of peace to all. This was heady, even

dangerous stuff. The very thought of letting people like me loose in the

countryside! In the late 1940s, the South, or Industrial Pennines, was

on the short list. But back then, this was not just a potential

playground, it will still be engine room of the Empire, and the

factories were belching monsters. What did not come from here came

from Manchester, Bolton, Berry, Burnley and Liverpool. The air was

black with soot. The river is one `` the rivers run different colours

according to the dyestuffs. Looking back on it, it was disgusting. The

South Pennines struggled to shake off its industrial past and was

never selected to be a national park. But the area is much cleaner

now and refuses to be ignored. Moves are now afoot to declare the South

Pennines is a self`styled regional Park, with its industrial heritage

to the fore. Tegwen! Hello! I am Paul. Nice to

meet you. Looking forward to this. The best way of discovering the

Pennines. I am taken to the railways to see how the Industrial Revolution

shape the landscape. The rail industry operated on pack was Fritz,

then there was the horse`drawn railways, around minerals going to

the canal networks. Things have moved on, leaving us with industrial

relics we still use today. From Denby Dale to Penistone, the railway

might be a commuter line now, but it threw up great challenges to the

engineers charged with crossing the big valleys between the Pennine

hills. Between Huddersfield and Penistone, the line rises 306 to

seven feet in not many miles. It was an engineering feat to get it built.

It was a marvel of the Victorian age, leading us with the Penistone

viaduct and its 29 Arches, five more than its brother Ribblehead. It

dominates the valley. And it is beautiful, we see it as beautiful

now. They would not have them, but people come from miles to see these

viaduct. But the railways and their spectacular viaducts are not the

only defining legacy of the industrial age. There are others,

which many feel are equal in their grandeur. I spent a lot of time

caving, but I have never been in a Canal Turn before. This is the

tunnel at Marston, more than three miles long and runs over the

Pennines at. It is the longest and highest canal tunnel in the UK. When

they built this, they dug from each side, and without the benefit of

laser`guided drills. They missed each other, 38 feet, which is not

far over three miles, but they missed each other, can you imagine?

Took them 16 years to build this. It may be more than 200 years old, but

it has plenty of modern`day fans, like Michaela Morton. I felt really

uplifted, that is like coming to a cathedral or arriving at the

pyramids or any other great iconic feature. Visually, it is very

appealing. It is atmospheric, I love the smell, but to think of all the

people who work down here, not just building the tunnel and blasting

through the rock, but also the people who worked on it, in order

for it to function. Because it is hidden and underground and a bit of

a hidden gem, that is what makes it even more special, you feel quite

honoured to be part of it. I think we are coming off the hill at just

the perfect time, because the rain it is getting more significant. I

and ending my journey at study pike that somebody who believe the South

Pennines offer something unique. Within five kilometres, there are

over 1000 listed buildings, scheduled monuments. We cannot see

many of them, because they are in the valleys, but that gives you an

indication of how people have lived here, have earned their living here.

You have got the buildings that characterise the South Pennines

every, nonconformist chapels, the textile mill, cottages, those

windows upstairs were built as workshops. Even in the rain, it

makes me happy to be here, it is a joyous place. Let's get dry! You

might argue, what is in a title? Does it matter what we call a

place? I think that the South Pennines armour with whatever tag we

eventually give it, should be shouted about from every hilltop.

I know we are biased, but it is a beautiful part of the country.

That is all from us for this week, but we are back at the same time

next Monday, goodbye. Next week, the extreme measures

people in the north`west go to for a year`round tan.

If I knew then what I knew now, I would never use it, I would not

recommend it to anybody. Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your

90 second update. There are more spending cuts on the

way. The Chancellor says ?25 billion worth of savings need to be made

after the next election. At least half of it is likely to come from

the welfare budget. Full details at ten.

Parts of the UK have been hit by more storms. The Welsh coast was

among the areas hardest hit, with more bad weather to come. Your local

forecast in a moment. How did Jimmy Savile evade justice

for decades? That's what dozens of his victims are demanding to know.

They are calling for a single enquiry rather than multiple

investigations. Doing 60 mph with his hands behind

his head. That's what this driver was caught doing near Whitby. He was

banned from driving for a year and
