:00:00. > :00:23.Welcome to Inside Out. Tonight we have in Bradford. -- tonight we are
:00:24. > :00:28.in Bradford. Hello and welcome to Inside Out. I am Paul Hudson.
:00:29. > :00:31.Tonight we travel with the Bradford charity helping refugees from the
:00:32. > :00:38.Syrian and Iraq conflict. When we see children laughing and
:00:39. > :00:44.playing with those we feel happy as they are happy.
:00:45. > :00:48.So tonight we are there as the last flying Vulcan bomber takes to the
:00:49. > :00:53.skies for its final flight. Just a beautiful, unique lady, isn't
:00:54. > :00:55.she? And the rugby league players scaling
:00:56. > :01:04.the highest mountain in Africa in memory of one of their own.
:01:05. > :01:06.A group of charity workers from Bradford had just returned from the
:01:07. > :01:11.Middle East where they have been bringing aid to just a few of the 4
:01:12. > :01:16.million men, women and children who have fled conflicts in Iraq and
:01:17. > :01:20.Syria. Dan Johnson went with them to meet some of the people who may well
:01:21. > :01:26.end up coming to the UK under Government plans.
:01:27. > :01:30.You can't really understand everything from behind a TV screen.
:01:31. > :01:34.I1 of those people who have to go there and see it for myself and just
:01:35. > :01:37.help. The Yorkshire volunteers on a
:01:38. > :01:40.mission thousands of miles away helping people whose lives are on
:01:41. > :01:44.hold. We came to nothing. All they had was
:01:45. > :01:50.their clothes so everything we had to provide from scratch.
:01:51. > :01:57.These are food parcels. This is the result of an aid effort that began
:01:58. > :02:02.2000 miles away in Bradford. Not your typical chemistry student.
:02:03. > :02:06.She spends almost every holiday on charity age trips. Over the last few
:02:07. > :02:10.months she has raised thousands of people fleeing a war zone.
:02:11. > :02:16.I am originally from Syria and a sea of thing going on now and I feel
:02:17. > :02:19.like I have a duty to do something because I'm safe so I am really
:02:20. > :02:26.looking forward to being able to help people and hopefully find out
:02:27. > :02:31.what they need. The human relief foundation has been
:02:32. > :02:36.based here in Bradford since 1993. They have spent the last four years
:02:37. > :02:39.raising money for Syrian refugees and now they're putting those funds
:02:40. > :02:46.into action. Those people in Bradford they help
:02:47. > :02:56.us a lot and they give a lot and they are very generous people. We
:02:57. > :03:01.have to help each other. They have come here to Jordan to
:03:02. > :03:06.help some of those who fled the war in Syria. 24 volunteers doing what
:03:07. > :03:13.they can to help people forced to live in a place we don't belong. --
:03:14. > :03:20.they don't belong. Please don't do that at all. Don't
:03:21. > :03:25.give cash, even if they ask for it. We are heading out of the capital
:03:26. > :03:29.towards the Syrian border and a patch of desert that holds many of
:03:30. > :03:33.the refugees in the most basic conditions.
:03:34. > :03:38.This is the hard of the camp, the biggest home to up to 80,000 Syrian
:03:39. > :03:42.refugees. The tents and cut score one for miles and miles. It puts
:03:43. > :03:49.this in the top ten biggest cities and Jordan. This lady did not want
:03:50. > :03:52.us to show her face. She has lived here with her family for three year
:03:53. > :03:59.is after their city was destroyed by bombs.
:04:00. > :04:02.When the weather is bad everybody just praise the roof does not
:04:03. > :04:07.collapse on us. The British document says it will
:04:08. > :04:11.takes the Mac take refugees to Britain, is that something you would
:04:12. > :04:14.like? Some people want to leave Jordan but
:04:15. > :04:21.we want to stay close by. So we can go back home if things do get
:04:22. > :04:26.better. That seems unlikely any time soon
:04:27. > :04:29.but some things here do change quickly. The weather suddenly turns
:04:30. > :04:33.nasty. I asked one of the boys Woody misses
:04:34. > :04:38.most from Syria and he said it was his pomegranate tree that he had
:04:39. > :04:42.Panda 's house and another boy told me about a sand storm that hit
:04:43. > :04:45.yesterday and there was dust everywhere and people were running
:04:46. > :04:54.around and at night it started raining saw the tents for -- and all
:04:55. > :04:57.the tents were full of rain. They have to do with the worst of
:04:58. > :05:00.the weather conditions to add with winter on its way the problems for
:05:01. > :05:03.people here are only going to get worse.
:05:04. > :05:08.It is sad to see because a lot of the families have such a small room
:05:09. > :05:11.for eight to ten people. I'm worrying whether they can see
:05:12. > :05:14.tonight. I feel like there are so much that
:05:15. > :05:17.we need to do but I don't know how. It seems impossible to be able to
:05:18. > :05:21.help everyone. But they can still make a
:05:22. > :05:27.difference. The volunteers hand out blankets and head of a winter that
:05:28. > :05:31.brings it snowstorms. Here we met a painter who lost his legs in the
:05:32. > :05:37.bombing. A building collapsed and killed monitors children.
:05:38. > :05:46.He told me how he was pulled from the rubble but only survived by
:05:47. > :05:51.eating cats and olive leaves. The group so moved by the story they
:05:52. > :05:58.decide to do something to help. The only support he is getting is
:05:59. > :06:02.either from us or from the UN. We said, look, let's try to fund
:06:03. > :06:11.raise for him through social media to in order to support this man.
:06:12. > :06:17.A new day and the volunteers are busy filling sacks with food to give
:06:18. > :06:21.to families in need. A lot of the families this is their only source
:06:22. > :06:26.of food so a lot of them are alive it to survive.
:06:27. > :06:30.After a 50 mile journey north they share out the food and hear more
:06:31. > :06:33.stories of families uprooted by the war.
:06:34. > :06:37.You can tell from their faces that they don't want to really be here.
:06:38. > :06:40.It is out of extreme need and dire necessity that they have to be hurt
:06:41. > :06:46.but otherwise they would not want to come and get hand-outs or gets
:06:47. > :06:51.charity from people. At the end of the day all humans will have a sense
:06:52. > :06:54.of pride pride if you like. This woman told us the aid is
:06:55. > :06:58.important because she cannot afford to look after her ill husband and
:06:59. > :07:06.her son. Paralysed after being shot in the back.
:07:07. > :07:11.And there are millions more whose lives have become defined by people
:07:12. > :07:16.and uncertainty. Refugees have always found this country to be a
:07:17. > :07:20.welcoming safe haven. But there has been a major influx of people
:07:21. > :07:24.fleeing the war in Syria. Jordan's population was roughly the same as
:07:25. > :07:29.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, just over 6 million. Over the last four
:07:30. > :07:33.years more than 600,000 refugees have arrived. That is like being
:07:34. > :07:43.tired population of Nottingham moving across the border. -- that is
:07:44. > :07:47.likened the entire population will stop the volunteers organise a fun
:07:48. > :07:52.day for kids who have had childhoods ruined and their families torn
:07:53. > :07:59.apart. Kids like these 12 roads becoming
:08:00. > :08:03.teenagers in a foreign country. I miss my home, my family, my
:08:04. > :08:09.friends. I miss everything. And what is life like growing up
:08:10. > :08:13.here now as a refugee? Everything has changed. At least in
:08:14. > :08:22.Syria we had our own house. In Syria we had our own house. I miss my life
:08:23. > :08:25.was really good in Syria. We even had two cows at home sold
:08:26. > :08:32.life was really good. What you think the future will be
:08:33. > :08:35.like if you have to up here? My life would be anything here. I
:08:36. > :08:42.really want to go back to Syria but my dad does not want to go back.
:08:43. > :08:49.That is my favourite colour. I love it when leaders of the kits because
:08:50. > :08:54.when you see children and make them smile it just makes all of this
:08:55. > :08:58.worth it. -- I love it when we come to visit the kids. Home town.
:08:59. > :09:02.Even if they are not really sure where home is any more. These kids
:09:03. > :09:05.are all refugees away from home and some of them are away for the Mac
:09:06. > :09:09.from their families. They have missed out on a lot in life so this
:09:10. > :09:14.visit from the volunteers in Bradford means a great deal.
:09:15. > :09:23.But before they head back to their families Bev is one last stop for
:09:24. > :09:30.the volunteers. They have the news. In just 48 hours they have raised
:09:31. > :09:33.?5,000, a treatment enough to cover one year of rent and his medical
:09:34. > :09:39.bills. I'm just so grateful. I pray to God
:09:40. > :09:42.to watch over you all. He has been very very down and this
:09:43. > :09:47.is the first time that he has felt like he has got family and it is
:09:48. > :09:53.quite a special moment to be able to help someone so much.
:09:54. > :09:56.That was really emotional. It just made this whole trip really
:09:57. > :10:00.worthwhile because I think a lot of us came here just to see change
:10:01. > :10:04.peoples lives. That is literally what have done here.
:10:05. > :10:09.They don't deserve to be living like this, in the rain. This is their
:10:10. > :10:13.lives and their having to live in that kind of condition so does
:10:14. > :10:18.really hit home. When we see the children laughing
:10:19. > :10:23.and playing with us we feel proud, we feel happy, as they are happy,
:10:24. > :10:34.then we know we have achieved our aim.
:10:35. > :10:39.Over the past month or so the last operation Balkan, has been pulling
:10:40. > :10:42.crowds on its farewell flight. As this veteran of the Cold War and the
:10:43. > :10:53.Falklands campaign comes to the end of its flying life, Danny Savage
:10:54. > :10:57.tells a story as we join the Vulcan. A chilly day near Doncaster. People
:10:58. > :11:03.have travelled from far and wide to get here. There is an air of
:11:04. > :11:08.anticipation and sadness. Today is the very last time that a Cold War
:11:09. > :11:16.relic will take to the sky over Britain. They have come to say so
:11:17. > :11:19.well to the last Vulcan bomber. They are iconic aircraft. The other
:11:20. > :11:24.kind of aircraft that we will never build in this country again. It is
:11:25. > :11:29.an icon and the end of an era. She's just a beautiful, unique lady,
:11:30. > :11:33.isn't she? This should really be called the
:11:34. > :11:40.People's aircraft. It may be painted in RAF colours but it is owned by a
:11:41. > :11:44.charitable trust and the real legacy is here. Here are the names of
:11:45. > :11:48.thousands of people who have paid money over the years to keep this
:11:49. > :11:53.aircraft flying. Why? Because they love it.
:11:54. > :11:57.Small amounts of money but from loads of people. Hundreds of
:11:58. > :12:01.people. And that is the way it works. The public wants to see her
:12:02. > :12:05.flying. It's beautiful lines have thrilled
:12:06. > :12:10.crowds at air shows for the last eight years. It has been termed the
:12:11. > :12:14.Vulcan effect, moving grown men to tears.
:12:15. > :12:17.One gentleman said he thought he must have quit in his eyes because
:12:18. > :12:23.his eyes were running so much and genuine name I have seen that effect
:12:24. > :12:28.every year. When you stand there and you look at the crowd, especially
:12:29. > :12:35.the children. You just see this look on their face. Starstruck, I
:12:36. > :12:42.suppose. Of course, there is its unique
:12:43. > :12:49.sound. The haunting howl which can send shivers down the spine of
:12:50. > :12:55.anyone who remembers the Cold War. Now the world's first delta wing
:12:56. > :12:59.bomber. And what an entrance made to the aviation scene back 1952.
:13:00. > :13:03.Just a few years after the end of the Second World War Britain had a
:13:04. > :13:11.debt to bomb which people swooned over. An early display pilot was
:13:12. > :13:15.told off for rolling the Vulcan because it was behaviour unbecoming
:13:16. > :13:20.of a bomber. Although the crowd loved it. Undeterred by such a
:13:21. > :13:31.ticking off another test pilot pulled a full zoo at a later
:13:32. > :13:37.airshow. -- full loop. Speaking to us from Australia is
:13:38. > :13:42.that same test pilot. Tony Blackman remembers that week well. He even
:13:43. > :13:45.took passengers. The press officer said a lot of the
:13:46. > :13:51.secretaries wanted to fly in the back during the show. So I agreed.
:13:52. > :13:55.All right, I will agree to train one every day and then they can fly in
:13:56. > :14:00.the back and my wife came down at the weekend and said, what is going
:14:01. > :14:02.on? I want to go in the back as well.
:14:03. > :14:09.Tony went on to spend his career flying the bomber which handled like
:14:10. > :14:11.a fighter. He even delivered Vulcan 5582 RAF Waddington straight from
:14:12. > :14:16.the factory. Amazing how the team have managed to
:14:17. > :14:20.keep it serviceable all this time. That it relied on support obviously
:14:21. > :14:23.of the engine and the airframe manufacturers just has to come to
:14:24. > :14:30.come to the end. Ed displays after this will seem very dull. -- air
:14:31. > :14:37.displays after this. The operational role of the Vulcan
:14:38. > :14:42.in its heyday is sobering. In the age of mutual assured
:14:43. > :14:47.destruction its crews would have been tasked to kill millions of
:14:48. > :14:52.people with nuclear bombs. The one bomb that we had in our
:14:53. > :14:58.aircraft was roughly equivalent to all the ones we dropped on Germany
:14:59. > :15:02.in World War II. All of them. Peter was on duty in November 1962
:15:03. > :15:09.and was stood on the brink of world War three.
:15:10. > :15:11.Missiles are 1500 miles range and more.
:15:12. > :15:17.The catalyst was the Cuban missile crisis. With the prospect of Russian
:15:18. > :15:21.nuclear missiles being delivered by boats to Cuba just 90 miles from the
:15:22. > :15:25.US mainland. The Americans and Russia squared up to each other at
:15:26. > :15:33.sea. The message from America was back of all else. -- backoff or
:15:34. > :15:37.else. The stand-off continued. The Vulcan
:15:38. > :15:40.bombers Saturday appealed is with the nuclear payloads ready to go at
:15:41. > :15:45.a few minutes notice. We were not going to come back. Any
:15:46. > :15:53.others that might have would have been shot down by a roadside. They
:15:54. > :15:57.are not going to bother about whether their Soviet of water. We
:15:58. > :16:02.had no illusions about that. This was definitely going to be. One-way
:16:03. > :16:07.mission. Mercifully, Peter and his colleagues
:16:08. > :16:12.never had to use the H-bomb at the Vulcan did go to war in the
:16:13. > :16:17.Falklands campaign in 1982. It was the plane's most famous mission and
:16:18. > :16:24.was called operation Black Buck. It was a mission to get a bomb on
:16:25. > :16:28.the runway. Admiral Woodward, his first task was to put that airfield
:16:29. > :16:34.at a business which is what he did. Martin Withers was the pilot. It was
:16:35. > :16:40.extraordinary speed. A round trip of nearly 8000 miles over featureless
:16:41. > :16:44.sea. The Vulcan had been repeatedly refuelled in the air and was running
:16:45. > :16:51.on beepers as it desperately search for its last canker one-way back.
:16:52. > :16:55.The hose was streaming out of the back. First refuelling we have done
:16:56. > :17:01.in the daylight and it was the most beautiful sight in the world.
:17:02. > :17:08.It was a cry for the old aircraft. -- was a triumph. It only prolonged
:17:09. > :17:13.the life of the Vulcan for a few years. It was officially retired
:17:14. > :17:20.from service in 1993 and taken to Leicestershire. The Vulcan got hold
:17:21. > :17:27.of it a few years later and brought her back to life. Ten years of work
:17:28. > :17:31.and millions of pounds including a lottery grant later, she flew again
:17:32. > :17:40.in 2007. So this is the cockpit. It is fairly
:17:41. > :17:43.small and review was fantastic. Martin, give us a whip round and
:17:44. > :17:47.tell us roughly what we're looking at. What you have got here is the
:17:48. > :17:54.original in-service part of the aircraft.
:17:55. > :17:59.In June and cements. -- engine instruments.
:18:00. > :18:05.The nuclear bomb even influence the look of the Vulcan.
:18:06. > :18:09.The aircraft was designed to be a bomber from a bomber from high-level
:18:10. > :18:14.so look out wasn't that important and also it was important that the
:18:15. > :18:20.nuclear strike vote that we were able to cover all these windows. Two
:18:21. > :18:26.blacks are holding out so that you didn't get affected by the flash.
:18:27. > :18:30.It is estimated that 20 million people have seen her but with the
:18:31. > :18:34.expert help to keep her flying safely no longer available, her time
:18:35. > :18:40.in the sky has come to an end. She is the last all British jet
:18:41. > :18:43.engine aircraft flying in the world and when we stop flying it is the
:18:44. > :18:51.end of the major chapter and I think that is what people react to. They
:18:52. > :18:55.see it as an achievement from an era and is some nostalgia their full
:18:56. > :18:58.stop I know people will be very sad that it has stopped flying the
:18:59. > :19:03.aircraft will be retained and will be running order. We will taxi her
:19:04. > :19:08.and she is destined to be a centrepiece of the new activity to
:19:09. > :19:11.inspire the young. And so this claim will never fly
:19:12. > :19:15.again but it is has such an extraordinary effect on so many
:19:16. > :19:20.people. This play may be gone from our skies forever but for anybody
:19:21. > :19:27.who saw it they will remember it for the rest of their lives.
:19:28. > :19:31.It is like a funeral home ales. We'll have a little bit of the way.
:19:32. > :19:43.The question went before lying any more. -- she won't be flying any
:19:44. > :19:46.more. You may think there are some pretty
:19:47. > :19:49.tough hills in the Yorkshire Dales but a group of sports stars have
:19:50. > :19:54.decided to climb the highest mountain in Africa and then play a
:19:55. > :20:11.game of rugby league on top. But it is all for charity.
:20:12. > :20:17.The start of an adventure. 38 rugby league players and supporters head
:20:18. > :20:21.up Kilimanjaro to attempt the highest ever gain in honour of the
:20:22. > :20:25.St Helens and Hull player who died two years ago.
:20:26. > :20:36.I'm joining some big names from the sport including Adrian Morley to
:20:37. > :20:41.attempt this world first expedition. Steve died of a rare form of
:20:42. > :20:45.abdominal cancer. Thanks to his insistence on being used as a guinea
:20:46. > :20:56.pig for pioneering treatment, others are now surviving. This group wants
:20:57. > :21:00.to keep his legacy alive. With each passing day we will get closer to
:21:01. > :21:04.Africa's highest summit, and the weather is getting colder and
:21:05. > :21:07.crucially the altitude means that the air is getting thinner. There
:21:08. > :21:11.was not a lot of oxygen at this level. It is really important to
:21:12. > :21:15.walk very slowly, keep a grated and keep eating as these people are
:21:16. > :21:19.finding out right now. It is not easy.
:21:20. > :21:24.But the opportunity to test ourselves, knowing what Steve was
:21:25. > :21:30.like, because for the last seven or eight years of its life he pushed
:21:31. > :21:36.his body to the limits so it is just a shame knowing that he wanted to do
:21:37. > :21:49.this that he can't be here because he would be leading the pack.
:21:50. > :21:55.Just put some cream on. After three days of walking and 24
:21:56. > :22:00.hours of the crater the starting to take its toll on everyone, including
:22:01. > :22:14.Warrington Wolves legend Lee. Emotions are rising.
:22:15. > :22:18.I am determined to. I never thought it would be like
:22:19. > :22:22.this. I just thought it would be tough and I'm used to cover things
:22:23. > :22:24.and like tough things. I'm all over the place. I'm doing the best not to
:22:25. > :22:35.cry. It is hard.
:22:36. > :22:39.It is. We'll have to get some tissues. Let's get a cup of tea.
:22:40. > :22:54.Proper ginger tea. It is former club in the morning and
:22:55. > :22:59.this summer today. The day that we been looking forward to with some
:23:00. > :23:02.trepidation. Lots of us now got altitude sickness. I've been really
:23:03. > :23:05.poorly overnight and I feel really rough but this is the day we're
:23:06. > :23:10.going to head for the summit and hopefully get them in about ten
:23:11. > :23:14.hours' time and then play rugby in the crater of Kilimanjaro. See how
:23:15. > :23:18.it goes. Soon as you are bits down think of
:23:19. > :23:22.someone you've lost and that will spur you on. But if you can't think
:23:23. > :23:27.anything else just have a think of Steve Prescott. What that man
:23:28. > :23:37.achieved we don't even come close to.
:23:38. > :23:53.I'm shaking like a leaf. Six. Vomiting. -- sick.
:23:54. > :23:58.As the sun rises we start to lose members of the party to altitude
:23:59. > :24:07.sickness. Better you walk all the newer
:24:08. > :24:14.carried. -- better you walk-off than you are carried off.
:24:15. > :24:22.Finally, the rim of the crater of Kilimanjaro. 5685 metres. Just below
:24:23. > :24:29.the summit. For Adrian Morley this achievement marks the end of the 20
:24:30. > :24:39.year playing career. I will never come to the height of
:24:40. > :24:45.altitude ever again. And so we head down into the crater
:24:46. > :24:48.of Kilimanjaro to stay overnight. It is so indisputable no one has come
:24:49. > :24:53.to you for several years. Tomorrow we aim to play the highest ever game
:24:54. > :24:58.of rugby league and make the summit. Horrible night sleep. One hour if we
:24:59. > :25:02.were lucky. Freezing cold and then the sickening outshoot sickness.
:25:03. > :25:09.Apart from that we are all OK. Exhausted and six, can it be done.
:25:10. > :25:14.Altitude is calculated and the pitches measured and out. RF array
:25:15. > :25:32.has come especially to make sure that everyone plays by the rules. --
:25:33. > :25:41.our referee. It is a fool, gruelling 80 minutes. At this outshoot it is
:25:42. > :25:57.very hardware. -- at this multitude and all in accordance with the rules
:25:58. > :26:04.laid down by Guinness world records. In the end it is a draw. Ten all. It
:26:05. > :26:08.could take up to one year to rare the rack verify this world record
:26:09. > :26:19.but we have more pressing matters to hand. The last push to the summit.
:26:20. > :26:39.But not before we lose another man to crippling altitude sickness. We
:26:40. > :26:55.have made it. The highest point in Africa. Adrian Morley found out even
:26:56. > :27:05.the simplest task seems insurmountable.
:27:06. > :27:09.It does, it does, yeah. We've had some dark, dark times. It
:27:10. > :27:14.is definitely the hardest thing I've ever ever done but we've got a great
:27:15. > :27:20.group and we had to pull each other through and things like this last a
:27:21. > :27:30.lifetime. I'm proud of myself for being here. But the attitude really
:27:31. > :27:36.did play havoc with me. They said will send you down on a stretcher
:27:37. > :27:40.which, being proud, I didn't want to and tried walking buddy said you are
:27:41. > :27:45.no good. There were five of us who had to be taken down and the guys
:27:46. > :27:49.were absolutely fantastic. They were great.
:27:50. > :27:52.For two and a bit today's rout the top I just like I was going to die
:27:53. > :27:57.and on that last day just couldn't put another foot in front of the
:27:58. > :28:03.other. My heart is full. My spirit is full and I feel very mixed for
:28:04. > :28:08.the experience. And what an experience. In his last
:28:09. > :28:13.years of Steve Prescott dedicated himself to others. For then cheering
:28:14. > :28:20.for experimental treatments and raising money in the hope that
:28:21. > :28:24.others would survive. In the words of a surgeon, such was Steve's will
:28:25. > :28:29.to live she carved a path whether war is none, achieved a result on a
:28:30. > :28:39.cosmic scale for other patients. A fitting tribute to a much loved
:28:40. > :28:43.friend, family man and team-mate. That is all from here in Bradford
:28:44. > :28:45.and for this series of Inside Out. We will be back in the New Year.
:28:46. > :29:03.Good night. Hello, I'm Riz Lateef
:29:04. > :29:07.with your 90-second update. He was knocked down
:29:08. > :29:12.by a pick-up truck while on duty
