:00:12. > :00:12.Good evening and welcome to Inside Out.
:00:13. > :00:13.Tonight, we're in the Yorkshire Dales.
:00:14. > :00:23.I'm Toby Foster, and I'm here in one of the most beautiful valleys
:00:24. > :00:26.in the Yorkshire Dales, where they are celebrating 65 years
:00:27. > :00:32.But first, Roma migrants from eastern Europe have bedn
:00:33. > :00:36.hitting the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons, especially
:00:37. > :00:51.Tonight, we followed the cotntry's first Roma special constabld back to
:00:52. > :00:55.his homeland to find out whx people are so keen to come and livd here.
:00:56. > :01:01.It's impossible to find a job if you are a Roma.
:01:02. > :01:05.Also tonight, it was the biggest and best party of the summer, but
:01:06. > :01:08.have we gained anything now the Tour de France caravan has left town
:01:09. > :01:10.The influx of migrants from Eastern Europe is causing tdnsions
:01:11. > :01:19.In Rotherham they have now got the UK's first Roma`Slovak special
:01:20. > :01:21.constable in an attempt to bridge the gulf between local people
:01:22. > :01:31.Kate Bradbrook went on a long journey with him to find out more.
:01:32. > :01:36.Policing the Rotherham suburbs, special constables Peter and Joe
:01:37. > :01:43.have been working together for six months.
:01:44. > :01:46.This area of Ferham on the outskirts of the town has
:01:47. > :01:57.Peter is originally from Slovakia and is Roma himself.
:01:58. > :02:03.It is a big advantage in what can be a difficult role
:02:04. > :02:06.He is saying he feels quite safe when he comes out.
:02:07. > :02:12.The only issues are noise after ten o'clock.
:02:13. > :02:16.Thank you for talking to us. Thank you.
:02:17. > :02:18.The best thing about it is the language.
:02:19. > :02:21.I can speak Roma, Slovak and English, so they can choose
:02:22. > :02:23.any language and I can speak to them.
:02:24. > :02:29.In the past decade, the Roma population in
:02:30. > :02:34.South Yorkshire has grown from just above zero to tens of thous`nds
:02:35. > :02:40.The Roma people are often accused by residents of causing anth`social
:02:41. > :02:45.behaviour, gathering on pavdments and leaving litter on the streets.
:02:46. > :02:52.They are issues Peter and Joe tackle on an almost daily b`sis
:02:53. > :02:54.In Slovakia, if people drink after 10pm
:02:55. > :03:00.and there are noises on the street, it is a normal thing, no ond cares.
:03:01. > :03:05.I quite often get people talking to me about noise,
:03:06. > :03:14.litter, so we just try to do as much as possible in this case.
:03:15. > :03:17.Many Roma people here now consider Yorkshire to be their home, but to
:03:18. > :03:20.understand more about where they have come from I will be following
:03:21. > :03:29.Peter as he takes Joe to thd town in Slovakia where he was born.
:03:30. > :03:34.The picturesque Michelovce district Slovakia,
:03:35. > :03:47.But this is a country of two halves, and during the trip he will be
:03:48. > :03:50.taking Joe to areas tourists rarely see where the Roma people lhve.
:03:51. > :03:53.I am not sure what to expect, I have heard quite
:03:54. > :03:56.a few stories about Slovaki` from Pete and his family, so we will
:03:57. > :04:01.We may still be in Europe, but this is a world away
:04:02. > :04:06.Obviously the weather is a lot hotter.
:04:07. > :04:21.It has made me a bit sad, rdally, to see that people live likd that.
:04:22. > :04:24.As we drive deeper into Petdr's homeland, he opens up
:04:25. > :04:28.They moved over in the first instance just to escape rachsm and
:04:29. > :04:30.In Slovakia, Roma people are being discrhminated
:04:31. > :04:33.against and it is impossibld to find a job if you are Roma.
:04:34. > :04:36.So they needed to find a job, they needed to improve
:04:37. > :04:39.their lives to make my life better, so that is why the moved ovdr.
:04:40. > :04:50.Next stop, the village of P`vlovce nad Uhom, where Peter grew tp
:04:51. > :04:58.Right, welcome, this is my grandparents' hotse.
:04:59. > :05:02.Peter, would you mind asking your grandfather for me what he thinks
:05:03. > :05:14.He says he is really proud, because he advised me to go
:05:15. > :05:18.He just wanted at least one or two people to be
:05:19. > :05:21.in that kind of department to represent the Roma people and
:05:22. > :05:28.But it is what happens outshde the house, the gathering
:05:29. > :05:32.of large communal groups, which sometimes causes friction when
:05:33. > :05:40.Within the Roma and Gypsy ctlture it is a normal thing that they do,
:05:41. > :05:42.gather outside and talk and just be friends with each other.
:05:43. > :05:47.I know in England it might not be seen as normal, it might be seen
:05:48. > :05:52.as anti`social behaviour, however over there it is a normal thing
:05:53. > :05:57.Do you think when it becomes a larger gathering that could be seen
:05:58. > :06:02.I would certainly also feel intimidated,
:06:03. > :06:04.so I can understand other ethnic minorities such as white Brhtish
:06:05. > :06:14.Is it being outside, talking to others, socialising?
:06:15. > :06:17.Or is it staying indoors and complaining, if you likd,
:06:18. > :06:24.After the hours of darkness, you know, when people try and sleep,
:06:25. > :06:29.it can get annoying then, btt it is just people socialising, re`lly
:06:30. > :06:34.I really do like the closendss and togetherness
:06:35. > :06:43.Joe's first night in Slovakha has given him plenty to think about
:06:44. > :06:51.Today, though, he will be sdeing the other side of the Roma life
:06:52. > :06:55.This area where Peter's famhly come from is relatively wealthy,
:06:56. > :07:01.but just a couple of streets up here people are far less fortunate.
:07:02. > :07:07.Some Roma people here have no electricity or running water,
:07:08. > :07:14.Many on this one street havd already moved to South Yorkshire, sdeking
:07:15. > :07:31.This family allowed us to film inside their home.
:07:32. > :07:36.Two of his daughters sleep in that room.
:07:37. > :07:43.That is where he lives with his wife and his little son, on the couch.
:07:44. > :07:49.And his father sleeps just on the other side there.
:07:50. > :07:52.In such a confined space, this area also doubles up
:07:53. > :07:58.as a kitchen, using water collected from the well outside.
:07:59. > :08:01.Joe, you came here to find out more about how the Roma people lhve.
:08:02. > :08:05.What is your reaction to what you have seen?
:08:06. > :08:08.It is quite upsetting, really, that people live in these condithons
:08:09. > :08:12.It is an eye`opener for back home, as well, where people are lhving
:08:13. > :08:15.conditions many consider to be quite poor ` compared to this, it's far
:08:16. > :08:23.Is that what you were expecting Definitely no.
:08:24. > :08:28.I was not expecting anything like that.
:08:29. > :08:31.As Peter continues to guide us through the Roma Township,
:08:32. > :08:36.an example of another issue which is also seen back homd.
:08:37. > :08:39.In South Yorkshire, one of the main issues people seem
:08:40. > :08:44.If we look here, it is absolutely covered ` why is that?
:08:45. > :08:50.I think it is laziness, people are just too lazy.
:08:51. > :08:54.I think that is unacceptabld, whether in Slovakia or Engl`nd.
:08:55. > :09:01.I think, personally, somethhng needs to be done about it.
:09:02. > :09:06.If the bin is full, where shall I put it?
:09:07. > :09:08.That is why we are facing m`ssive issues with litter in
:09:09. > :09:13.Are there collections here for litter?
:09:14. > :09:17.Over here I don't believe there are, nothing is done about it, it is
:09:18. > :09:27.From our brief visit to Slovakia, it is clearly a country of
:09:28. > :09:32.contrasts and, although Joe works with the Roma all day in Rotherham,
:09:33. > :09:37.seeing the conditions here has been an eye`opening experience.
:09:38. > :09:45.It has been a really good insight to the Roma Slovakia communhty.
:09:46. > :09:48.Here it is acceptable to throw things on the floor because
:09:49. > :09:52.Back in England people have not been educated, and because it is second
:09:53. > :09:55.nature here they behave the same way over there.
:09:56. > :09:58.I believe it will be really beneficial for him
:09:59. > :10:02.in a future policing career to work with them closely, because he knows
:10:03. > :10:10.With more Roma Slovaks still hoping to make the move to South Yorkshire,
:10:11. > :10:14.it is likely Joe's experience gained in Slovakia will soon be
:10:15. > :10:25.Remember, if you have any stories you think we
:10:26. > :10:27.should be covering, please get in touch through Facebook or Twitter.
:10:28. > :10:41.We celebrate 65 years since the creation of our National Parks.
:10:42. > :10:43.Anyone want to buy a second`hand yellow bike?
:10:44. > :10:46.It's been a couple of months now since the worldos top cyclists
:10:47. > :10:50.came through Yorkshire in what was fantastic weekend, but
:10:51. > :10:53.it cost millions of pounds to stage the Grand Depart
:10:54. > :10:59.What will we get out of it now that they have gone?
:11:00. > :11:15.It's fair to say that many of us went pretty Tour de France crazy
:11:16. > :11:18.this summer ` I certainly did on my radio show.
:11:19. > :11:20.It's eight o'clock here on BBC Radio Sheffield.
:11:21. > :11:23.Let's go to Wendy Middleton with the main news.
:11:24. > :11:26.It does seem like all I have spoken about four
:11:27. > :11:31.Yes, for two days what is bhlled as the biggest annual sporthng event
:11:32. > :11:36.About 3 million people lined the route
:11:37. > :11:40.and the scenes were amazing, but was it just a thrilling weekend for

:11:52. > :11:54.I don't think there is a great legacy.
:11:55. > :11:58.People do turn out and have a nice day out, but I don't think watching
:11:59. > :11:59.the Tour de France will persuade them
:12:00. > :12:02.to buy a bike to travel to work.
:12:03. > :12:05.If you want to be serious about cycling and walking as ways to
:12:06. > :12:10.get around, we have to give them some priority in the streets.

:12:20. > :12:25.sprinted for the line to win Yorkshire's Grand Depart.
:12:26. > :12:29.And standing there it is hard not to reflect on the heightened

:13:23. > :13:25.I am eating my breakfast, if you don't mind.
:13:26. > :13:28.I'm not to be a killjoy and say the Tour should nevdr have
:13:29. > :13:31.come through Yorkshire, I think it is fair and justified that whenever
:13:32. > :13:34.tens of millions of taxpayers' money is spent on any project that
:13:35. > :13:38.local taxpayers should have the right to question polithcal
:13:39. > :13:41.leaders as to whether they have got value for money.
:13:42. > :13:44.Certainly respecting the Tour de France, I think many
:13:45. > :13:47.people find it very odd there is very little private money and
:13:48. > :13:49.sponsorship involved in supporting this event, which could havd
:13:50. > :13:55.People will also be concerndd that perhaps some essential servhces

:14:00. > :14:03.even more harshly because of budgets being transferred to
:14:04. > :14:11.But, according to the man who did so much to bring the Tour to Yorkshire,
:14:12. > :14:21.there was little alternativd but to use taxpayers' money.
:14:22. > :14:24.That's a fine theory, but again knowing the Tour de France
:14:25. > :14:27.intimately, that's not possible because

:14:48. > :14:49.local authorities, they must put their hand
:14:50. > :14:53.From their point of view, it is a huge return on investment.
:14:54. > :14:56.Of course, no`one at the Grdat Yorkshire Show needs any convincing
:14:57. > :15:00.But it's said that the Tour has a potential worldwide audience
:15:01. > :15:03.One of the strands of the legacy will undoubtedly be
:15:04. > :15:06.tourism and there will be more people coming here to visit and

:15:16. > :15:18.they did not realise how be`utiful Yorkshire was and they will now come
:15:19. > :15:23.And the tourist industry won't be the only one to gain.
:15:24. > :15:26.Now, if you've got the sort of money to spend on
:15:27. > :15:29.a bike that most families spend on a car, then you might be surprised
:15:30. > :15:34.Race Scene sells some of the finest road bikes in thd world.

:15:40. > :15:42.where we will establish the correct geometry of the frame
:15:43. > :15:45.and the correct setup of thd bike, which will ultimately make ht run
