:00:00. > :00:10.Welcome to a brand`new series of Inside Out. Ron Bradford. `` from

:00:11. > :00:28.Bradford. Good evening and welcome to inside

:00:29. > :00:31.out. Behind me is one of the great centres for the wool industry back

:00:32. > :00:35.in its heyday. Later we will hear about attempts to stage a mini

:00:36. > :00:40.revival in the textile industry in Yorkshire. First, we investigate the

:00:41. > :00:46.fraudsters who want to get your credit card details. And find out

:00:47. > :00:50.what happened when they do. In a couple of minutes, he has got

:00:51. > :00:54.everything he needs to make exact copies of all these cards which she

:00:55. > :01:00.can then using cashpoints. Also tonight: They are supposed to

:01:01. > :01:08.be helping people quit smoking but just how safe are e`cigarettes.

:01:09. > :01:13.If you consume on of these, you have no idea what you're putting into

:01:14. > :01:16.your lungs. When Chip and pin machines were

:01:17. > :01:22.introduced to shops, they were supposed to give us protection from

:01:23. > :01:26.credit card fraud. But a Inside Out investigation has found criminal

:01:27. > :01:30.gangs using specially adapted machines to steal your bank details

:01:31. > :01:31.and then your cash. A reporter Jonathan Gibson has confronted one

:01:32. > :01:46.such protest. For ten years now we've all been

:01:47. > :01:49.using these ` chip and PIN machines. And the place I've come for dinner

:01:50. > :01:52.is no different. Remember when we used to sign for

:01:53. > :01:55.things in shops? The banks told us chip and PIN would be much safer.

:01:56. > :02:19.Well try telling Julie Cleaver that. He said it had been declined but

:02:20. > :02:21.then someone in America to money out of my bank account a couple of weeks

:02:22. > :02:27.later. I'm talking to a man who knows all

:02:28. > :02:30.about stolen numbers because he steals them and he's looking for a

:02:31. > :04:44.new partner. and the PINs that go with them

:04:45. > :04:47.for these cards here. In a couple

:04:48. > :04:49.of minutes he's got everything he needs to make exact copies of all

:04:50. > :04:52.these cards which he can then use in cashpoints and he says he's done

:04:53. > :05:01.that already time and time again. She had her card cloned

:05:02. > :05:08.at the garage. And there's the receipt,

:05:09. > :05:28.what do you think? I think the encouraging thing to say

:05:29. > :05:32.is that these frauds are very rare, we've only seen one recent instance

:05:33. > :05:36.of them and we're seeing convictions in the Old Bailey in respect

:05:37. > :05:38.of that at the moment. The industry's existing advice to

:05:39. > :05:41.consumers is to protect your PIN. Well, with something like that

:05:42. > :05:48.there's no point, is there? Well, I think the first reassurance

:05:49. > :05:53.to give everybody when it comes to this type of fraud which is a very

:05:54. > :05:57.rare type of crime is that even if you are the victim of it you'll

:05:58. > :06:02.receive a full refund of all of your losses but we always advise

:06:03. > :06:07.customers to check their statements. As all the pay as you go debit cards

:06:08. > :06:14.are in my name, I can also check They've never left my wallet

:06:15. > :06:20.but according to the transaction history they've been

:06:21. > :06:25.emptied of cash in the Philippines. So either he's stealing

:06:26. > :06:29.my money or someone he knows is. But he's also sent me

:06:30. > :06:32.a second machine so He's taking cash out

:06:33. > :06:37.in the Philippines I've also sent money to Canada

:06:38. > :06:50.for the cables he's posted. How about I tell him I've busted

:06:51. > :06:53.the machine? I'm hoping he'll ask me to send it

:06:54. > :06:56.for repair and if he trusts me enough,

:06:57. > :06:59.he might give me an address, though He's taken the bait,

:07:00. > :07:03.telling me to send it to But this is one parcel I

:07:04. > :07:21.plan to deliver by hand. I'm heading out of town ` 25 miles

:07:22. > :07:30.along the freeway to Pickering. Is the guy we've been given

:07:31. > :07:33.the address for the guy that's been on Skype, that we've been talking

:07:34. > :07:55.to for, what, months now. We've put a tracker

:07:56. > :07:57.inside the machine. Yep,

:07:58. > :08:13.it's Marcus Montague and he's signed Montague, I've got a delivery

:08:14. > :08:39.for you, mate, a delivery for you? No, I can't accept, I can't accept

:08:40. > :08:43.if I don't know about it, you know. Actually, mate, I'm from the BBC,

:08:44. > :08:47.BBC television in the UK, and I'd like to ask you a couple

:08:48. > :08:51.of questions actually about your Chip and PIN fraud, mate,

:08:52. > :08:56.do you know about it? I think you do because we've been

:08:57. > :09:00.sending deliveries to your address Ah, don't go away, mate, we're

:09:01. > :09:09.asking you a few questions here. No, no,

:09:10. > :09:12.I'm not trying to run you over. We just need to know, mate, your

:09:13. > :09:21.involvement with chip and PIN fraud? Who are you actually

:09:22. > :09:24.involved with then? Who are you actually

:09:25. > :09:25.working with then? Are you making a lot of money out

:09:26. > :09:29.of it, are you making a lot Well, not many answers raised

:09:30. > :09:38.a few more questions perhaps but whatever the case he wasn't

:09:39. > :09:43.very keen to hang around, was he? I think that's probably the last

:09:44. > :10:01.we'll see of him, at least for now. Verifone, which makes the machines,

:10:02. > :10:03.is also the market leader. It decided

:10:04. > :10:33.on a statement saying the fraud is a data very seriously, it works with

:10:34. > :10:52.the authorities to uncover fraud all you want us to look into

:10:53. > :11:06.something, contact us. Coming up on Inside Out: one woman's quest to

:11:07. > :11:12.revive. `` to revive Yorkshire's traditional wool industry.

:11:13. > :11:19.When e`cigarettes came along it seemed like a unique opportunity to

:11:20. > :11:23.stop smoking. But how safe are e`cigarettes? In a television first,

:11:24. > :11:28.we put them to the test, with some shocking results.

:11:29. > :11:30.It provides the addictive nicotine hit,

:11:31. > :11:42.I think in five or ten years time we are going to see a huge increase in

:11:43. > :11:45.strokes and heart attacks. But e`cigarettes are hugely

:11:46. > :12:00.controversial, I think some of them will ultimately

:12:01. > :12:02.be found to be harmful. My suspicions are that it was a

:12:03. > :12:08.contributor to my husband's death. Tobacco smoking is the UK's biggest

:12:09. > :12:19.killer, accounting for But the smoking rate is falling all

:12:20. > :12:23.the time and it is e`cigarettes taking a lot of the credit. It has

:12:24. > :12:25.been estimated that in the last two years the number of people using

:12:26. > :12:32.these has tripled. Newcastle actor Chris Connel is one

:12:33. > :12:46.of them, having swapped smoking It will be about 18 months now. I

:12:47. > :12:50.started off on quite a reasonable dose of nicotine and I have brought

:12:51. > :12:55.it right down. I have never wanted a single cigarette since I started

:12:56. > :12:59.doing it. There is not one moment when I have looked at somebody

:13:00. > :13:06.smoking a cigarette, and that took me totally by surprise. Do you feel

:13:07. > :13:14.healthier? Yes. I have smoked since I was 13 so I did not know that it

:13:15. > :13:19.made me feel ill. Within a couple of weeks of vaping, I don't get as many

:13:20. > :13:21.colds, I don't get out of breath as easily.

:13:22. > :13:26.Even the most committed smokers are showing an interest.

:13:27. > :13:34.Not getting on with your electronic cigarette, then? Oh, you don't like

:13:35. > :13:44.it! What else do I do with it? But some medics have bigger

:13:45. > :13:58.problems with e`cigarettes. If we have not found out the first

:13:59. > :14:02.`` in the first two or three years of using e`cigarettes all the things

:14:03. > :14:03.that bad about them, does that mean there is nothing bad about them

:14:04. > :14:06.absolutely not. So the burning question is `

:14:07. > :14:09.do people really know what they're Replacing the pack

:14:10. > :14:12.of 20 is the bottle of liquid refill, with hundreds of

:14:13. > :14:19.brands and flavours to choose from. I am at the local market to buy

:14:20. > :14:27.some. I'll try the chocolate at 18mg

:14:28. > :14:29.of nicotine, please. OK, I've bought two different brands

:14:30. > :14:37.of e`liquid from the market, plus I've got a couple

:14:38. > :14:46.of others from shops nearby. The contents of e`cigarettes is

:14:47. > :14:49.a subject close to the heart This photo is five days before he

:14:50. > :14:56.died. Glynis believes

:14:57. > :14:58.an e`cigarette was responsible Glynis' husband, Terry,

:14:59. > :15:02.died from lipoid pneumonia after oil was found in his lungs ` nine months

:15:03. > :15:10.after he started vaping. The doctor got some of the liquid of

:15:11. > :15:14.Terry to analyse it and discovered there was oil in it, so we started

:15:15. > :15:20.to think there was a link there. When Terry died, he asked for an

:15:21. > :15:26.inquest. Terry was a real fan of these, wasn't he? Yes, he told

:15:27. > :15:29.everybody smoking, stop that and get one of these. It was like a walking

:15:30. > :15:36.advertisement for e`cigarettes and he felt healthier. I thought, right,

:15:37. > :15:40.OK. At the time I never gave it a second thought that anything like

:15:41. > :15:45.that could happen. And this was all very rapid? Yes. 40 days from

:15:46. > :15:48.actually going to the doctor to him dying.

:15:49. > :15:50.The coroner investigating Terry Miller's death was unable to

:15:51. > :15:57.confirm or rule out that the e`cigarette was a factor.

:15:58. > :16:04.Of course, the e`cigarette industry will turn around and say, Terry was

:16:05. > :16:10.a heavy smoker, you cannot pin it on this. If someone came to me and said

:16:11. > :16:14.that did not cause your husband to have oil inside his lungs, they can

:16:15. > :16:18.give me the answer to how the answer to how they all got there. But I do

:16:19. > :16:20.not think anybody can give me that answer.

:16:21. > :16:22.Smoking`related deaths are more common in the North of England

:16:23. > :16:38.Fresh is very open`minded about developments like electronic

:16:39. > :16:40.cigarettes. We need really robust monitoring and surveillance though

:16:41. > :16:48.and we welcome research into the products.

:16:49. > :17:00.What does this machine do? Separates the components of the solutions we

:17:01. > :17:06.have got, and identifies them. OK. A couple of hours later,

:17:07. > :17:18.the results are in. What have we found? If we have a

:17:19. > :17:24.look at the first sample, we will see here we have got glycerol and

:17:25. > :17:31.nicotine... And those are the three ingredients they declare? Yes. The

:17:32. > :17:37.next two liquids look fine, too but on the final sample, Chris has an

:17:38. > :17:43.something. This double spike is showing the presence of diacetyl. It

:17:44. > :17:47.is a flavouring, but a sort of flavour so it is used in foods, in

:17:48. > :17:52.margarines and popcorn and a number of other food products. It has this

:17:53. > :17:57.property that although it is safe to eat it is not very safe to inhale.

:17:58. > :18:03.Of course, that is exactly what you do read these. Exactly. So we found

:18:04. > :18:08.that in the VIP butterscotch flavour, so we need to go to see

:18:09. > :18:16.them. That particular chemical is associated with an unusual but well

:18:17. > :18:20.established long condition. It has been inhaled in significant

:18:21. > :18:23.quantities in people who have worked in popcorn manufacturing and in

:18:24. > :18:26.those individuals it has caused very serious lung conditions, serious

:18:27. > :18:31.enough to warrant a lung transplant. We bought the potentially harmful

:18:32. > :18:33.e`liquid in the boutique`style VIP We've contacted VIP and they've said

:18:34. > :18:37.they did know about this issue, after discovering diacetyl

:18:38. > :18:49.in the butterscotch flavour through We are very disappointed that you

:18:50. > :18:53.were able to buy one because we had done a withdrawal of the product

:18:54. > :18:59.beforehand. Sadly, in the store you purchased it from there was a change

:19:00. > :19:04.of store management. The product has now been completely withdrawn. You

:19:05. > :19:09.knew it was harmful. Yes. Because of the small amount that would be

:19:10. > :19:13.consumed, it was deemed that in the short term there would be no health

:19:14. > :19:21.concerns. Long`term there could be but we discarded it was a withdrawal

:19:22. > :19:24.that was needed, based on what our trade body told us.

:19:25. > :19:26.The day after we contacted VIP about our findings

:19:27. > :19:29.and arranged this interview, we were also able to order another bottle

:19:30. > :19:31.of butterscotch flavour from one of their approved online retailers.

:19:32. > :19:37.Would it surprise you to know that after we inform you about diacetyl

:19:38. > :19:41.and you said it was withdrawn, we were still able to buy it online?

:19:42. > :19:45.That does surprise me because you shouldn't have been able to at all

:19:46. > :19:50.and if you would give us those details we will take it up. If we

:19:51. > :19:57.can't rely on you to withdraw products successfully, how can we

:19:58. > :20:03.rely on you when you say how safe it is? Our trade body is very robust

:20:04. > :20:08.and this is our first issue in five years. We are very sorry it has

:20:09. > :20:09.happened. We are investigating how it happened. We take this

:20:10. > :20:11.exceedingly seriously. VIP butterscotch e`liquid is

:20:12. > :20:21.no longer available to buy. You happened to find that particular

:20:22. > :20:27.chemical in that particular product but there are thousands of products

:20:28. > :20:47.and thousands of chemicals. For me, harm reduction is the best option.

:20:48. > :20:51.So you are still an addict? Yes. Salts Mill is testament to the fact

:20:52. > :20:55.that textiles used to play a huge part in Yorkshire's economy. From

:20:56. > :20:59.the sheep of the Dales to the hundreds of Mills and thousands of

:21:00. > :21:04.workers. But the rise of cheap foreign manufacturing meant that the

:21:05. > :21:08.industry all but died. Now report has been to meet a woman who has set

:21:09. > :21:11.the wheels of that industry spinning again.

:21:12. > :21:14.Once upon a time, mills like this one in Farsley near

:21:15. > :21:18.I'm here to meet a woman who refused to let the industry go.

:21:19. > :21:21.When her family weaving business closed down, she kept their unique

:21:22. > :21:32.archive of four generations of manufacturing, Textile designer

:21:33. > :21:34.`` archive of four generations of manufacturing.

:21:35. > :21:39.Susan Gaunt wanted to revamp British woollen cloth and take it upmarket.

:21:40. > :21:45.I did not know what I was looking for but I knew that coming here to

:21:46. > :21:47.this calm space, wonderful light, looking through fabrics, they would

:21:48. > :21:54.be something that would help me. She went through every stage

:21:55. > :21:56.in the production process, right down to the structure

:21:57. > :22:06.of the fibres, trying to make British wool has a reputation for

:22:07. > :22:08.being scratchy and itchy. It is to do with our climate, but it is all

:22:09. > :22:13.down to processing. Susan worked out how short the

:22:14. > :22:24.journey would be from the sheep in a It is a new cloth we have developed

:22:25. > :22:29.using the skills in Yorkshire. Can every bit of the process be done

:22:30. > :22:33.within 40 miles? I am going to find out. I am wondering what kind of

:22:34. > :22:42.textile industry is still out there in that 40 miles. First the raw

:22:43. > :22:46.First the raw ingredients.

:22:47. > :22:49.You can't get more local than this Mule sheep bred in the

:22:50. > :22:52.Their fleeces go to Bradford, home of the British Wool Marketing Board.

:22:53. > :22:56.It's also the place where all the wool in the UK is sold at auction.

:22:57. > :23:01.A few years ago, it was costing farmers more to rear their sheep

:23:02. > :23:10.Trade for the last 18 months has been pretty good. Prices and

:23:11. > :24:58.clearances have been very strong in the auction, and we are doing

:24:59. > :25:00.It was just the germ of an idea. Wouldn't it be brilliant to get at

:25:01. > :25:07.least one of these looms up and running again. And all up and

:25:08. > :25:10.running with the 40 mile John. Everyone kept expecting it to work

:25:11. > :25:15.straightaway and I said, this machine has not run for about 50

:25:16. > :25:18.years. You need to treat it nicely and it will come back!

:25:19. > :25:19.Getting hold of machinery parts was difficult.

:25:20. > :25:21.But a bigger problem was finding someone

:25:22. > :25:32.Enter Greg, one of the last skilled weavers in the business.

:25:33. > :25:45.When I was asked to come down, I said, yes, I can do it. When I saw

:25:46. > :25:53.it, I thought to myself, what have I let myself in for? I think, what can

:25:54. > :25:55.I do to get this right? But I have done it.

:25:56. > :26:00.Now it's running smoothly enough for Greg to give me a lesson in weaving.

:26:01. > :26:08.The way we do it, what we have at the back here is a set of shafts.

:26:09. > :26:13.Through those shafts we run threads. We have to open up those

:26:14. > :26:17.threads to create a tunnel. Send the shuttle through the tunnel. As it

:26:18. > :26:21.goes across, it is leaving behind that thread. I have a go? You can

:26:22. > :26:34.indeed. Susan's idea is to use the Armley

:26:35. > :26:41.cloth to promote Yorkshire textiles. With that in mind, she's showing it

:26:42. > :26:52.to a local hotelier, who's put in I am a great champion of Yorkshire

:26:53. > :27:03.and I believe we have a little`known secret here. And we have such

:27:04. > :27:08.fabulous workmanship. So much of the time your products do not get used

:27:09. > :27:12.locally. But perhaps someone will come and stay in the hotel and

:27:13. > :27:13.realised that there is a textile industry in Yorkshire, and they will

:27:14. > :27:16.ask more about the products. The Armley fabric is

:27:17. > :27:18.a micro`project. Scaled up and woven

:27:19. > :27:20.on a more industrial scale in Huddersfield, Susan's fabric is

:27:21. > :27:23.being made into classic clothing. High street retailer Jaeger is using

:27:24. > :27:26.it for a line of men's jackets, and a Leeds tailor has produced

:27:27. > :27:29.a range for women. So,

:27:30. > :27:32.from fleece to fabric to catwalk. The 40`mile fleece is centre stage

:27:33. > :27:35.at a fashion show to promote Yorkshire's textiles to

:27:36. > :27:53.an international market. The figures are increasing. There is

:27:54. > :27:57.growth again. It is employing more people. It is crying out for skills.

:27:58. > :28:01.In the overseas market, people can even name mills in Yorkshire where

:28:02. > :28:07.people here probably don't even know were still producing and increasing

:28:08. > :28:09.production, but it is the very top end.

:28:10. > :28:12.So, a success story ` from scratchy Yorkshire sheep to a luxury fabric.

:28:13. > :28:16.And the moment I've been waiting for ` my turn to try on a jacket.

:28:17. > :28:29.Wow. Great colour. It is so nice to know I have designed a fabric that

:28:30. > :28:32.people are wearing that is properly British wool, Yorkshire made, and we

:28:33. > :28:40.could only do big here with the skills we have got. `` do it here

:28:41. > :28:46.with these skills we have got. That is all for tonight. Make sure

:28:47. > :28:50.you join us next week. We will be following the country's first Roma

:28:51. > :28:55.special constable back to his homeland, and finding out what the

:28:56. > :28:57.Tour De France has done for Yorkshire, plus we celebrate 65

:28:58. > :29:58.years of our national parks. Hello, I'm Amy Garcia with

:29:59. > :30:01.the latest from Look North.
