:00:08. > :00:25.Welcome to a new series of Inside Out. Tonight we are in Sheffield.
:00:26. > :00:35.Good evening. Welcome to Inside Out. Tonight as the New Year opens up the
:00:36. > :00:42.borders to immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania, we sent a pellet to
:00:43. > :00:48.Sheffield, where people are struggling to get on with their
:00:49. > :00:51.neighbours. The way things are, they are dumping rubbish and it makes you
:00:52. > :00:57.almost not want to say that you live here.
:00:58. > :01:02.Also tonight, we hear the extraordinary story of the woman who
:01:03. > :01:06.fell from the North Sea ferry. And we jump aboard the steam railway
:01:07. > :01:19.trying to stay in business. Since the start of the New Year,
:01:20. > :01:24.Bulgarian and Romanian citizens have been unable to travel to the UK for
:01:25. > :01:31.work. Immigration has caused tension in places like Boston in
:01:32. > :01:35.Lincolnshire, close to where the poet lives. He has been meeting
:01:36. > :01:46.people here in Sheffield where and influx of Roma people is causing
:01:47. > :01:50.friction with the local population. Even if a Roma person has a tie made
:01:51. > :01:54.of gold the Roma is a dirty gypsy and should go and get lost.
:01:55. > :01:58.Six, seven, eight years ago we were winning Britain In Bloom awards...
:01:59. > :02:00.Do you think we would? You look back and think; in
:02:01. > :02:03.retrospect I probably wouldn't have said that.
:02:04. > :02:09.When my parents arrived in Britain from the Caribbean s this is where
:02:10. > :02:13.they first settled. It was number 22 Clun Street in the Burngreave area
:02:14. > :02:19.of Sheffield. It's long since been knocked down. But for the fact my
:02:20. > :02:24.mum got a job in the health service 90 miles away I'd have been born a
:02:25. > :02:27.Yorkshireman and not a Brummie. More than half a century later I'm going
:02:28. > :02:29.to see how some more recent immigrants are settling in less than
:02:30. > :02:39.two miles away. This is Page Hall. Back to back
:02:40. > :02:43.terraced houses packed closely together. It's become the focus for
:02:44. > :02:47.a heated national debate on immigration. It's where Ivan Pokuta
:02:48. > :02:49.and his wife Magdelena arrived with their four children Tatyana,
:02:50. > :02:55.Patrick, Ivan Junior and four year old Lissier in 2007.
:02:56. > :03:04.As a Roma family in Slovakia they say they faced hardship, poverty and
:03:05. > :03:09.prejudice. Despite having qualifications I
:03:10. > :03:14.couldn't live ` I had to go. We can be highly educated, it's pointless.
:03:15. > :03:17.There is prejudice against Roma. For the past decade Roma Slovak
:03:18. > :03:25.people have been coming to this area. It's reckoned as many as 2,000
:03:26. > :03:31.could live in this small area. It's not always been easy...and then this
:03:32. > :03:33.happened... If everything exploded and
:03:34. > :03:37.everything went really wrong, the community would obviously be
:03:38. > :03:40.devastated.. We saw this in Bradford, Burnley and Oldham.
:03:41. > :03:46.In this radio interview David Blunkett gave a stark warning about
:03:47. > :03:49.the rising tensions in the area. His words sparked a media frenzy and TV
:03:50. > :04:02.cameras and the international press descended on Page Hall.
:04:03. > :04:07.I am coming here for a better life. Disturbances, crowds, hanging around
:04:08. > :04:10.everywhere. David Blunkett agreed to meet me and
:04:11. > :04:12.give his first broadcast interview since those comments which some said
:04:13. > :04:17.were unwise. You have been an MP in this area for
:04:18. > :04:21.26 years and you have encountered the media all the time. Don't you
:04:22. > :04:26.think you should have chosen your words that are?
:04:27. > :04:33.If I had meant to say there would be riots, I would have used that word.
:04:34. > :04:41.. I've always said things as I've seen them. Could I have foreseen
:04:42. > :04:45.that somebody could have used it in this way? Probably... You look back
:04:46. > :04:49.and say in retrospect I probably wouldn't have said that...but I did
:04:50. > :04:55.mean that. I really do need to ensure that this community polls you
:04:56. > :05:00.never `` pulls together and saying it as it is makes sure that people
:05:01. > :05:11.listen. He visits some of the areas that the
:05:12. > :05:14.Roma come from in Eastern Europe. We have a persecuted minority, living
:05:15. > :05:17.on the edge. If the children go to school, they
:05:18. > :05:23.don't go to the same school as other children. They don't have refuse
:05:24. > :05:26.collection or inside toilets. They don't have that kind of experience.
:05:27. > :05:39.They are also suspicious of authority. In Slovakia, Roma goat
:05:40. > :05:42.stealing. It does happen ` they would have
:05:43. > :05:45.done it for their children but it's not like the politicians ` they
:05:46. > :05:52.steal money from people. Over there it's high unemployment.
:05:53. > :05:56.I have been praying to get work and I thank God I have found work at a
:05:57. > :06:03.hostage factory. The work injury now means I can can
:06:04. > :06:06.no longer do manual Labour. He says he has earned the right to claim
:06:07. > :06:11.state benefits that his family relies on.
:06:12. > :06:17.When a man finds work, he automatically gets benefits for
:06:18. > :06:25.children and it is quite normal. Helping families like this one to
:06:26. > :06:28.integrate is the job of Julie. She's a community cohesion worker employed
:06:29. > :06:34.part time with funding from the police crime commissioner.
:06:35. > :06:39.The area we live in, as you see, the houses are back`to`back, very close
:06:40. > :06:44.together. People feel as if they are living on top of each other so when
:06:45. > :06:49.you get newcomers, it is very noticeable.
:06:50. > :06:54.Julie normally patrols with a Slovak co`worker. Bert Outram, a local bus
:06:55. > :06:56.driver has something to report to Julie.
:06:57. > :07:04.There must have been 250 Roma on the street arguing and fighting. About
:07:05. > :07:07.six cop cars on the street. Bert filmed this footage of a Roma
:07:08. > :07:13.gathering in his street and says it's typical of what he and his
:07:14. > :07:18.neighbours have to contend with. Have you personally lost your pride
:07:19. > :07:25.of place? The way things are` the litter and
:07:26. > :07:28.dumping of rubbish, it makes you almost not to want to say you live
:07:29. > :07:31.in Page Hall. His complaints are all too common
:07:32. > :07:36.and many feel their concerns are not being addressed. I've come to an
:07:37. > :07:38.Islamic centre where a new residents association has been set up talk
:07:39. > :07:40.about the issues surrounding the Roma and I'm going to see if they'll
:07:41. > :07:52.let us film them. Thank you for coming on this cold
:07:53. > :07:55.evening... The Roma issue is the only one on
:07:56. > :07:58.the agenda tonight. Those assembled represent a pretty good cross
:07:59. > :08:05.section of the established community here. Most do not wish to be filmed
:08:06. > :08:07.but all feel their voices aren't being heard by the authorities.
:08:08. > :08:11.After some discussion we're allowed to film the first part of the
:08:12. > :08:20.meeting but then asked to switch off the camera.
:08:21. > :08:28.They were really concerned about the way that the Roma people, in their
:08:29. > :08:32.eyes, were taking over the street, playing loud music and littering.
:08:33. > :08:37.They talked about young kids being left out late at night and one of
:08:38. > :08:40.the things a lot of people talked about was house prices, which kind
:08:41. > :08:44.of surprised me. They were told that has prices had dropped. Ivan's
:08:45. > :08:47.17`year`old son Patrik prepares to go out for the evening to meet
:08:48. > :08:51.friends. But he has to be in by 9:30pm. There are many who have no
:08:52. > :08:59.such parental curfews and the noise they make causes anger.
:09:00. > :09:02.Kids go out and they shout and no one is stopping them but they should
:09:03. > :09:07.have some sense and respect. Roma people like to entertain themselves.
:09:08. > :09:10.If there was a centre or a club where they could congregate and
:09:11. > :09:16.someone could speak to them about what not to do.
:09:17. > :09:20.Hayat Shah is registered blind. They'll be stood around in groups
:09:21. > :09:23.and a lot of them will be drunk. You know there's also the arrogance
:09:24. > :09:28.issue whereby if they're stood on the street corner it's theirs now
:09:29. > :09:33.because they're occupying it. Nine times out of ten they won't move.
:09:34. > :09:40.He's lived in the area for more than 30 years. His parents live next
:09:41. > :09:45.door. But he would like to move out. I can't move due to the fact my mum
:09:46. > :09:48.won't move. I'm an only child so I'm not going to leave my mum and my
:09:49. > :09:51.dad's mentally incapacitated as well.
:09:52. > :09:54.Another British born Asian man who didn't want to appear on camera,
:09:55. > :10:01.told Inside Out he was moving out of the area because of the Roma and
:10:02. > :10:05.would not rent his house to them. So I find it quite ironic that not so
:10:06. > :10:10.long ago when Asian people were moving in white people were moving
:10:11. > :10:19.out because of them. So what are the solutions? One suggestion is that
:10:20. > :10:22.this area of waste ground could we developed to provide a building for
:10:23. > :10:29.the Roma to congregate off the streets that money is tight.
:10:30. > :10:33.It's big! It is deceiving from the outside.
:10:34. > :10:36.Because of the size of it, it will take a lot of money and people
:10:37. > :10:43.power. It is easy to say that there is no
:10:44. > :10:47.quick fix for Page Hall. It's run down and it's tense. But it's been a
:10:48. > :10:51.magnet for migrants for generations and will continue to be so.
:10:52. > :10:54.As the British`born child of immigrant parents I have to laugh
:10:55. > :10:57.when I hear my mother complaining about the number of Eastern European
:10:58. > :11:01.people there are in the country now. I find this urge to gently remind
:11:02. > :11:02.her that it wasn't that long ago when people were saying the same
:11:03. > :11:15.thing about her. If you have any opinions on that
:11:16. > :11:21.story or you think there is something we should the covering,
:11:22. > :11:25.get in touch on Twitter or Facebook. Coming up: Heritage railway trying
:11:26. > :11:40.to ensure it survival. Now, and incredible story about a
:11:41. > :11:48.woman who fell from a Northsea ferry. Jeni Anderson fell overboard
:11:49. > :11:49.with no life jacket and no idea if the boat would ever find her again.
:11:50. > :12:08.This is her story. My first memory is seeing the ferry
:12:09. > :12:11.and it being already a way away. And looking towards it and thinking,
:12:12. > :12:15.what do I do now, kind of thing. I was scared of drowning, but the most
:12:16. > :12:26.scary thing about it was that it was going to happen to me on my own.
:12:27. > :12:32.A tiny dot in a vast sea ` there's no worse nightmare. Yet Jeni
:12:33. > :12:34.Anderson lived to tell me her story. This is sister ship, but can you
:12:35. > :12:43.work out where you were? Yeah I was on the other side, just
:12:44. > :12:48.up there. I want to go up there and be able to walk back inside and be
:12:49. > :13:00.fine. Jeni has been back to finish the
:13:01. > :13:05.journey she started. The Princess Seaways operating from Newcastle to
:13:06. > :13:07.Ijmuiden in the Netherlands. In September 2011, Jeni, who'd been a
:13:08. > :13:20.student at Northumbria University, was on board with her friends. I'd
:13:21. > :13:23.graduated in July that year so it was kind of a last celebration
:13:24. > :13:26.myself and three friends decided to go to Amsterdam to celebrate
:13:27. > :13:42.graduation. It was three hours into the crossing. I had been drinking, I
:13:43. > :13:47.have never denied that. We just wanted to have a bit of an explore
:13:48. > :13:54.and go out. We would have stood outside on deck. Talking amongst
:13:55. > :13:59.ourselves. One of my friends got a phone call. She was on the phone
:14:00. > :14:07.when it happened. I was not messing around. I remember being near the
:14:08. > :14:11.barrier looking out at sea, looking down and I don't know whether I
:14:12. > :14:16.leaned too far, or the ferry moved on was a gust of wind, but the next
:14:17. > :14:32.thing I knew I was going over the barrier. I did actually managed to
:14:33. > :14:37.hold on for a little while. Jeni had fallen 60 feet into the black of the
:14:38. > :14:42.North Sea. Just the fall alone would've killed many a person. What
:14:43. > :14:44.happens when you fall into the North sea? Well initially you get a
:14:45. > :14:51.condition called cold shock. Involuntary gasping in of air. If it
:14:52. > :14:55.goes into your lungs, you are going to be coughing and spluttering. It
:14:56. > :15:00.can also cause a heart attack. But Jeni had survived the fall and the
:15:01. > :15:06.cold shock. Now began the fight to stay alive. I remember shouting
:15:07. > :15:12.after the ferry, asking for it to come back. Just the sheer terror of
:15:13. > :15:23.what had happened. I was getting more and more hysterical, like,
:15:24. > :15:32.begging it's a comeback. Bash dash`mac begging it's a comeback and
:15:33. > :15:37.find me. When I heard that I expect that that we would not find anyone.
:15:38. > :15:43.Four minutes from the time that she fell, the engine started turning
:15:44. > :15:48.round. The captain alerted the Humber coastguard. My first thought
:15:49. > :15:54.was we needed assistance from a helicopter. So that we had a chance
:15:55. > :16:00.to see in the water. A search and rescue seeking from RAF Leconfield
:16:01. > :16:04.was scrambled. We're talking about a person not equipped at all, going
:16:05. > :16:08.into the water at night in cold seas, the drug dash`mac survival
:16:09. > :16:14.times gone to be dramatically reduced in that situation.
:16:15. > :16:23.The chances there are probably quite slim. It would take 30 minutes by
:16:24. > :16:30.helicopter, 20 minutes to turn the ferry around, and every minute, it
:16:31. > :16:45.came harder to stay alive. I remember that cold when going across
:16:46. > :16:49.my face. Just trying to keep from going under. But it was getting more
:16:50. > :16:52.and more difficult and I was spending more and more time just
:16:53. > :16:55.being knocked under the water, and trying to pull myself back up again.
:16:56. > :16:58.35 minutes had now passed. I definitely came to the realisation
:16:59. > :17:02.that my time was up, but even then I don't think I ever gave up. In a
:17:03. > :17:11.way, I felt quite calm. It was like, there is not a lot that I can do
:17:12. > :17:24.about it. You feel a responsibility, and a.... Huge urge to find her, but
:17:25. > :17:27.still you know you're looking for that needle in a haystack so it's a
:17:28. > :17:30.mission impossible. He'd traced the ship back to where Jeni fell.
:17:31. > :17:39.Passengers and crew gathered on deck to help the search. We realise that
:17:40. > :17:43.we could actually see her screaming. A rescue lifeboat is launched. And
:17:44. > :17:49.an off`duty ambulance crew ` on the ship as passengers ` offer
:17:50. > :17:52.assistance. To our surprise, we saw a body lying in the boat. Pretty
:17:53. > :17:55.motionless to be fair, we actually thought it was a dead body. Made
:17:56. > :17:57.ourselves known to customer services, explained we were
:17:58. > :18:01.ambulance crew and would they like any help. They did snatch our hand
:18:02. > :18:14.off and we just flicked into work mode. When we first got her off the
:18:15. > :18:19.lifeboat, she actually opened her eyes and looked at me. I don't
:18:20. > :18:22.remember the point that I was rescued. I don't even remember being
:18:23. > :18:25.pulled out of the water. I just remember not being in the water and
:18:26. > :18:32.people around me and voices and noises and light. Despite the fall
:18:33. > :18:36.and the time she'd spend in the water, Jeni had no injuries. The RAF
:18:37. > :18:42.rescue crew had feared they'd come to retrieve a body. Instead it was a
:18:43. > :18:49.routine pick up. Jeni was discharged from hospital in Scarborough just a
:18:50. > :18:55.few hours later. I realise that it was all over the news and that I had
:18:56. > :18:58.to tell my mum. If she hears about a 23`year`old from Herts has fallen
:18:59. > :19:04.off the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam she might at least worry
:19:05. > :19:09.that it's me. And it was me. You ok? Yeah. Two and a half years later,
:19:10. > :19:13.she's ready to do something she never thought she'd be able to. When
:19:14. > :19:21.I felt, I was facing the barrier, whereas right now I am side on. I
:19:22. > :19:34.don't know if I can... It is a very strange feeling. But you have just
:19:35. > :19:40.done that. Yes. Well, we made it to Amsterdam. What's left for you?
:19:41. > :19:48.Well, finish my journey, see what's to be seen. It would mean a lot to
:19:49. > :19:53.me, to meet the people who helped me that night. Captain Kristensen is
:19:54. > :20:02.waiting back in England. I'm sorry I caused so much drama! That's OK! One
:20:03. > :20:09.of your friends had been calling on a phone so we knew the exact time
:20:10. > :20:17.you fell overboard. Normally, I would not expect it to end like
:20:18. > :20:24.that. Thank you, for everything. It is such a cliche to say it, but life
:20:25. > :20:36.really is so short. You do not have time to be unhappy and miserable
:20:37. > :20:40.about anything. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is one of the busiest
:20:41. > :20:44.had heritage lines in the world, with steam trains taking passengers
:20:45. > :20:50.from Pickering to Whitby. But now, it is struggling for money. Keeley
:20:51. > :21:02.Donovan has been finding out about a new plan to keep it on track. It's
:21:03. > :21:13.5:00am and a steam engine is being fired up. For 150 years, steam
:21:14. > :21:17.trains have run across the North York Moors, and the people who work
:21:18. > :21:20.on them have always had to get their hands dirty. By 8:00am, the engine's
:21:21. > :21:32.almost ready. Soon it'll be full steam ahead! It has taken four hours
:21:33. > :21:35.to get ready. Now the first train from Pickering to Whitby already to
:21:36. > :21:38.go. 9:00am at Pickering station. Passengers like me are looking
:21:39. > :21:41.forward to a day out in Whitby on a trip through some of Yorkshire's
:21:42. > :21:46.loveliest countryside. And it's not just a railway ` we're taking a
:21:47. > :21:54.journey back in time. It is going to take 90 minutes to get to Whitby.
:21:55. > :21:57.Let's get on board. The North Yorkshire Moors railway employs 150
:21:58. > :22:07.staff, helped by 850 volunteers. And they've all got a passion for the
:22:08. > :22:13.railways. These engines talk to you, if you listen to them. They tell you
:22:14. > :22:22.when they are going to sleep. You drive these with your ears. 40 years
:22:23. > :22:27.ago, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was launched, after British
:22:28. > :22:30.Rail's passenger service was axed. But the recession has brought the
:22:31. > :22:37.biggest threat to the line's future since the days of the Beeching cuts.
:22:38. > :22:41.This is a tourist attraction but it is a business as well, and it needs
:22:42. > :22:47.to make money times have been tough for the last couple of years as for
:22:48. > :22:51.many businesses. Tourism is some of those things that we do not have to
:22:52. > :22:55.spend money on. If you are struck for cash you will spend it on
:22:56. > :23:01.essentials, so we are affected like everybody else. How bad has it
:23:02. > :23:07.been? We were carrying 350,000 passengers a year in 2010, and it
:23:08. > :23:11.has dipped down to 320,000, but it is the busiest heritage railway in
:23:12. > :23:22.the world, but the drop of 10% has had an effect. For years, there's
:23:23. > :23:25.been a possible answer to the railway's problems. Run more steam
:23:26. > :23:28.trains to the seaside. But it's not straightforward. The last seven
:23:29. > :23:32.miles of the route, from Grosmont to Whitby, are operated by another
:23:33. > :23:36.company, Network Rail. And they have to allow the Moors Railway to run
:23:37. > :23:41.more trains. Times are hard for the tourist industry and it is not an
:23:42. > :23:44.easy for the railways. One way to survive is to get more passengers.
:23:45. > :23:47.For now, just three trains a day make the full 24`mile trip from
:23:48. > :23:53.Pickering to Whitby. In this carriage, there seem to be more dogs
:23:54. > :23:59.than people. Why did you choose to come by train? Just to go to Whitby
:24:00. > :24:05.on holiday. He likes trains, so this was the perfect day out. These two
:24:06. > :24:11.bearded collies, Molly and Duncan, are making their first`ever train
:24:12. > :24:14.journey. How is she doing? She was a bit apprehensive to start with but
:24:15. > :24:17.she has settled down quite well. I have never been to Whitby. I love
:24:18. > :24:27.these trains. They are amazing. We pass through Levisham, Goathland
:24:28. > :24:32.and Grosmont ` let's hope the weather stays good. You look like
:24:33. > :24:40.you are expecting some sunshine at the seaside today. Yes, I always
:24:41. > :24:46.expect sunshine estimation mark dash`mac!
:24:47. > :24:53.It is not just about steam trains. Passengers bring money to local
:24:54. > :25:00.businesses. How important is the railway to the local economy? The
:25:01. > :25:04.turnover is about ?5,000 a year. We had work done by the Yorkshire
:25:05. > :25:09.tourist board that indicated we were bringing about ?30 million into the
:25:10. > :25:13.local economy and that figure will not have reduced much in recent
:25:14. > :25:17.years. There was a lot of money at stake and a lot of jobs, but now the
:25:18. > :25:21.railway is fighting back. It is striking a deal with network rail to
:25:22. > :25:29.run twice as many trains into Whitby station. We want to open a second
:25:30. > :25:33.that form, that would enable us to one more trains, and we're looking
:25:34. > :25:40.to run about five trains, when there are three that return `` that one
:25:41. > :25:43.currently. At Whitby Station, a platform first removed 30 years ago
:25:44. > :25:49.would be restored at a cost of ?2 million. We believe there is market
:25:50. > :25:53.for us to tap into if we can get to increase capacity so it is critical
:25:54. > :25:56.for future sustainability. And we all know that, when you get to
:25:57. > :26:04.Whitby, there's plenty to do. Even if the weather isn't what it could
:26:05. > :26:09.be. Should have seen this coming. The minute we arrived, it starts to
:26:10. > :26:17.rain. It is a wet day. How are you enjoying it? It is good, good. Good
:26:18. > :26:19.choice of outfit? Well... OK, it's not exactly ice`cream weather. But
:26:20. > :26:27.the dogs seem to be enjoying themselves. It is nice to see a
:26:28. > :26:34.working fishing port with lots going on. Walking from the station to the
:26:35. > :26:41.fish and chip shop. It's time to head home. For me, it's the best
:26:42. > :26:48.part of the trip ` I'll be in the cab all the way back to Pickering.
:26:49. > :26:56.It is warm in here. Paul that Labour, once. `` pull the lever.
:26:57. > :27:00.It's a rural route, but the driver's got to be alert. There's always a
:27:01. > :27:15.danger animals ` and people ` could get onto the railway. What are you
:27:16. > :27:21.thinking about when you are in the cab? The pedestrians on this
:27:22. > :27:27.crossing. Ian is looking out for his side, I am looking out for this
:27:28. > :27:28.site. Once we are over the crossing began accelerate. I will give it
:27:29. > :27:39.more steam. Like that. It's exciting, but it's hard work
:27:40. > :27:47.too. It's a lot easier being a passenger. Now it's time to get my
:27:48. > :27:58.hands dirty. I'm about to have a go at being a fireman. Hang on, this is
:27:59. > :28:04.heavy. That's it. Don't let go of the shovel, just put it in there.
:28:05. > :28:13.That is it. And another one. That is it. Write down the front. That's
:28:14. > :28:19.it, there you are, you can do it. I tell you what, it is hard work. It
:28:20. > :28:23.is hard work. You ought to try it in the summer. The railway's starting
:28:24. > :28:26.work on the new platform in Whitby. It'll be open for the summer season,
:28:27. > :28:29.and they're hoping it will be a financial lifeline. Somehow, I don't
:28:30. > :28:36.think the age of steam is over just yet.
:28:37. > :28:43.That is all from here in Sheffield. Make sure you join us next week. I
:28:44. > :28:49.will be on the trail of the financial transactions made by
:28:50. > :28:50.Arthur Scargill and the National union of Mineworkers from the 80s up
:28:51. > :30:04.until the present day. The Welsh coast was among areas
:30:05. > :30:06.hardest hit. Hello. I'm Amy Garcia with the latest from Look North. The
