:02:21. > :02:23.Because they did know lots about the girls.
:02:24. > :03:22.That's what you find so freaky because they seem to know about the
:03:23. > :03:26.there wasn't actually a problem in Rotherham at that time of any kind.
:03:27. > :03:29.And whenever we raised the issue of sexual exploitation,
:03:30. > :03:32.we were considered to be unprofessional and alarmist.
:03:33. > :03:35.And for the victim's families the failure of the police and the

:03:45. > :03:49.I can't explain it properly but they knew what was happening.

:03:59. > :04:06.What else can you tell us about what will be in tonight's programme?
:04:07. > :04:14.I have been talking to the panorama team and it is all about
:04:15. > :04:17.opportunities that were missed and warnings that allegations were
:04:18. > :04:23.ignored. We will be hearing from a doctor who was a drugs analyst
:04:24. > :04:27.working for South Yorkshire Police. Right back in 2003, during the
:04:28. > :04:31.course of her research, she quickly established a connection between
:04:32. > :04:37.drugs in Rotherham and child sexual exploitation. This is what she had
:04:38. > :04:43.to say. It really didn't make any sense as
:04:44. > :04:52.to why they're aware major police operation is `` why they weren't
:04:53. > :04:56.police operations to investigate it. There were issues of ethnicity and
:04:57. > :05:03.some people felt that was a barrier to investigating. It seemed to be
:05:04. > :05:08.too sensitive than issue. He mentions 2003 and your first
:05:09. > :05:13.answer, but we understand there was a warning about child exploitation
:05:14. > :05:18.before then. Yes, back in 2002, a Home Office
:05:19. > :05:24.research found the young girls were going to a youth organisation in the
:05:25. > :05:27.town and stopped about sexual grooming that was happening. This
:05:28. > :05:31.researcher looked into it some more and produced a report. She give the
:05:32. > :05:36.report to Rotherham Council and says that rather than act on it, the

:06:01. > :06:02.investigation into the child abuse scandal
:06:03. > :06:05.in Rotherham tonight at 8:30pm We'll also have reaction to that
:06:06. > :06:08.programme on our late bulletin Next tonight, tributes have been
:06:09. > :06:11.paid to a 12`year`old boy from Huddersfield who is still
:06:12. > :06:14.missing after being swept out to sea Isaac Nash was paddling with
:06:15. > :06:17.his younger brother Xander when they got into difficulties
:06:18. > :06:20.at Aberffraw in Anglesey on Friday. Xander was rescued
:06:21. > :06:23.but Isaac has not been seen since. Tonight, a vigil is being held
:06:24. > :06:26.for him in Huddersfield. Charlotte Leeming is there
:06:27. > :06:45.for us now. Today, Isaac has been described as
:06:46. > :06:49.an amazing son, brother and friend. Today, many people gathered here is
:06:50. > :06:55.a tribute to remember him. Friends and relatives remembered him. They
:06:56. > :07:00.released balloons into the sky and then there was a spontaneous round
:07:01. > :07:06.of up laws. It was very moving stuff. It was a way for young people
:07:07. > :07:09.to show how they were supporting the family, who are still waiting
:07:10. > :07:12.desperately for news is that search continues.
:07:13. > :07:21.Isaac Nash hasn't been seen since Friday. He was swept out to sea. He
:07:22. > :07:25.had been playing with his brother only got into difficulties in the
:07:26. > :07:32.water. Relatives raised to help. They managed to raise his younger
:07:33. > :07:38.son but the father could not save Isaac. They have scoured the coast
:07:39. > :07:44.looking for him. We have got police and coastguard
:07:45. > :07:47.rescue teams searching the area and helicopters out looking. So far
:07:48. > :07:53.nothing found. Isaac was due to start at year eight
:07:54. > :07:59.on Wednesday at school. Counselling is being made available to pupils.
:08:00. > :08:04.As head teacher says over the past two years, Isaac has proved to be a
:08:05. > :08:11.very popular boy who loved sport and excelled at maps.
:08:12. > :08:19.He was a bit of a character. He was very intelligent, very athletic. He
:08:20. > :08:24.played football, cricket, did athletics. Outside school he did
:08:25. > :08:32.taekwondo. But he was also very intelligent. He was a very good
:08:33. > :08:35.mathematician. But he was also creative as well. He was
:08:36. > :08:41.multitalented. And we are going to miss him deeply.
:08:42. > :08:48.As have his friends, who have been paying tribute to him on social
:08:49. > :08:52.media. Many talk about his smile and sense of humour. His mother said he
:08:53. > :08:57.was a special child and will always be with us.
:08:58. > :09:03.Just a few moments before that tributes took place, I spoke to a
:09:04. > :09:06.couple of Isaac's friends. They said it was important to come here
:09:07. > :09:15.tonight. He was really kind and funny and he
:09:16. > :09:25.was really sporty. Basically, he was just perfect. Sweet.
:09:26. > :09:33.You should celebrate what he did because he was a really nice person.
:09:34. > :09:40.A special assembly will take place tomorrow at the school. They say it
:09:41. > :09:44.is important to offer counselling to the children. As time goes on and
:09:45. > :09:50.the family waits for news, it is looking likely that Isaac won't be
:09:51. > :09:55.starting term with his friends. The family say they are very
:09:56. > :09:56.appreciative of all the support on social media and the sport from the

:14:34. > :14:40.This is the famous bridge at Coldstream, the Gateway to Scotland
:14:41. > :14:45.from England. Yorkshire is a good 150 miles that way. At the Scots
:14:46. > :14:49.ports to turn this into water crossing to a newly independent
:14:50. > :14:54.country, will it make any difference back in Yorkshire? `` Scots As many
:14:55. > :15:08.as are of the opinion, say "aye". the idea of border crossings is
:15:09. > :15:13.nonsense, say some. There is no one in Scotland that
:15:14. > :15:17.believes we are going to have passport checks and controls. Look
:15:18. > :15:22.at the situation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
:15:23. > :15:26.There is lots of scaremongering from the no campaign that we will have
:15:27. > :15:35.border post setup and that is simply not going to happen.
:15:36. > :15:39.Do you fancy signing our love letter to Scotland. We are saying please
:15:40. > :15:43.don't go. Dan Snow says it is too important a
:15:44. > :15:51.decision for just the Scots to decide. He has recently been in
:15:52. > :15:59.Leeds calling for a No vote. He says independence would create increasing
:16:00. > :16:05.and damaging uncertainty. We might be fine but we don't know.
:16:06. > :16:12.Why bring in division and people threatening to default on currency?
:16:13. > :16:15.It is ridiculous. We are a happy family and have challenges ahead of
:16:16. > :16:19.us but are better off together. But whatever the outcome of the
:16:20. > :16:23.referendum, research at Huddersfield University appears to show that the
:16:24. > :16:26.debate itself is had one major effect on whether Yorkshire people
:16:27. > :16:31.want more political power of Europe. There is very little demand for
:16:32. > :16:38.independence in Yorkshire but a strong admiration or like for the
:16:39. > :16:43.notion of having devolution of power to Yorkshire as an entity.
:16:44. > :16:51.Consequently, there isn't any great nationalist feeling with a big N but

:17:09. > :17:12.a No vote. The vote is on September the 18th
:17:13. > :17:18.but only one thing is clear so far. Whatever the position of politics
:17:19. > :17:21.and power will never be the same in Scotland again and possibly
:17:22. > :17:41.elsewhere as well. Including Yorkshire.

:18:26. > :18:42.His parents say they were not happy with his treatment and wanted proton
:18:43. > :18:46.beam therapy. The treatment the NHS wouldn't provide.
:18:47. > :18:50.It is so much better for children with brain cancer. It is in Zenani
:18:51. > :18:57.area, whereby normal radiation passes right through his head and
:18:58. > :19:04.comes out the other side. It can be directed at a more
:19:05. > :19:13.precisely than x`rays. Experts say it causes less damage. The charities
:19:14. > :19:21.say they will fund the treatment if he is suitable.
:19:22. > :19:27.What is a child's life worth? It is more than money. This is horrendous

:19:47. > :19:50.America has the best treatment. It doesn't work for every tumour, we
:19:51. > :19:57.understand that, but if it does work for that child's humour, why not
:19:58. > :20:03.have it? Ashya King is being treated in Spain

:20:13. > :20:40.Garcia is the favourite. Formerly Brighton. Currently unavailable
:20:41. > :20:49.since leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv. Steve Clark, a renowned coach, has
:20:50. > :20:55.talked to the club. And Simon Grayson, the former Leeds United
:20:56. > :20:59.manager has been linked but he has distanced himself from it. As for
:21:00. > :21:04.Huddersfield, it looks more clear`cut. Chris Powell is the
:21:05. > :21:10.favourite with all the bookmakers. They have definitely talked to him
:21:11. > :21:15.and hopefully we should have both in place by the end of the week.
:21:16. > :21:17.Well, with a look at that win for Leeds against Bolton
