:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, welcome to Thursday's Look North.
:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight, how Bradford Counchl failed a vulnerable young rape victim.
:00:09. > :00:11.She tells us social workers allowed her to return to her abusivd father,
:00:12. > :00:18.We'll ask what can be done to prevent other children
:00:19. > :00:36.We are alive at a pub that hs opening tonight and asking whether
:00:37. > :00:40.Michael Bury 's are behind ` resurgence in real ale drinking
:00:41. > :00:43.And forget look, don't touch ` we're at a pioneering art exhibithon
:00:44. > :00:50.that's positively encouraging visitors to have a feel.
:00:51. > :01:09.A Yorkshire council has admhtted that it failed to protect
:01:10. > :01:11.a young girl from being repdatedly raped by her father.
:01:12. > :01:14.The girl, who we're calling Sarah, was allowed to return to
:01:15. > :01:17.the family home after a court found him not guilty of rape.
:01:18. > :01:19.But within weeks the abuse started again and she
:01:20. > :01:25.Now, following her father's conviction and jail sentencd,
:01:26. > :01:28.Bradford Council has told Look North that it is deeply sorry for not
:01:29. > :01:34.It began when she was just ten years old
:01:35. > :01:41.In 2003 she told police but in court he was cleared.
:01:42. > :01:45.Sarah was in the care of Bradford Council but she was then
:01:46. > :01:54.And the abuse at the hands of her father started again.
:01:55. > :01:56.Social services said because he had got found not guilty
:01:57. > :02:02.I thought I was doing the right thing speaking out
:02:03. > :02:07.Sarah's abuse continued as Bradford Council repeatedly failed
:02:08. > :02:12.In 2004 she became pregnant by her father and had an abortion.
:02:13. > :02:27.Weeks later she told a social worker he was abushng her.
:02:28. > :02:29.The errors by social services carried on.
:02:30. > :02:33.From July 2004 until the end of the year, they visited the family eight
:02:34. > :02:35.In December 2004, they closed her case.
:02:36. > :02:42.One year later, she fell pregnant for a second time.
:02:43. > :02:44.She went on to have her father's babx.
:02:45. > :02:48.Bradford Council has given ts a statement saying, this wolan has
:02:49. > :02:52.been through a terrible orddal and as a council we have fahled in
:02:53. > :03:00.They say, we are deeply sorry for not doing enough to keep her safe.
:03:01. > :03:03.But for Sarah, the apology is worthless.
:03:04. > :03:09.They should have done the job properly
:03:10. > :03:12.in the first place and not sent me home for the abuse to continue.
:03:13. > :03:18.No words can describe how I feel against the council
:03:19. > :03:22.for what they did to me and how my life is going to continud.
:03:23. > :03:24.Sarah has agreed a settlement of Bradford Council
:03:25. > :03:32.Her father has now been convicted of sexual offences against her.
:03:33. > :03:39.Part justice is done but it is still always going to be thdre.
:03:40. > :03:42.I've got to live with that for the rest of my life.
:03:43. > :03:46.If they had done the job properly it wouldn't have been like this
:03:47. > :03:48.We're joined now by Peter S`unders from the National Association
:03:49. > :04:06.How common is this sort of crime within a family?
:04:07. > :04:13.It is absolutely abhorrent `nd I wish I could see that it was a rare
:04:14. > :04:17.occurrence but unfortunatelx, sadly, we hear every day that it most
:04:18. > :04:25.certainly is not. I really hope that this woman gets the support that she
:04:26. > :04:29.will and in `` undoubtedly needs to move on with her life.
:04:30. > :04:33.What can we do to prevent this kind of terrible crime?
:04:34. > :04:40.There are a whole raft of things we can do. For a start, the government
:04:41. > :04:45.can institute a proper investigation into the whole spectre of child
:04:46. > :04:50.abuse which we now know is `t epidemic levels. Barely a wdek goes
:04:51. > :04:55.by when we are not called on by colleagues in the media to discuss
:04:56. > :05:00.cases that are coming all over the country. Survivors are coming
:05:01. > :05:04.forward. We are busier than ever. We have got to set down and have a
:05:05. > :05:08.serious discussion. It is absolutely vital that survivors of abuse are
:05:09. > :05:12.involved in that discussion because we have been there, we have suffered
:05:13. > :05:20.it. People like the woman at the centre of this story, we nedd to
:05:21. > :05:23.listen to her story and educate the authorities. We need to educate
:05:24. > :05:28.society. I'm sorry to interject but hs it
:05:29. > :05:35.unusual for a local authority to admit they have failed?
:05:36. > :05:42.I think it is a step in the right direction but `` that an authority
:05:43. > :05:50.admits it got it wrong. The general rule is denial. That is oftdn driven
:05:51. > :05:56.by insurance and the financhal aspects of protecting the
:05:57. > :06:00.institution. But I think we are gradually realising that we have got
:06:01. > :06:03.to change, they've got to change, they've got to except when things
:06:04. > :06:08.have gone badly wrong and hopefully we can move on in the futurd.
:06:09. > :06:09.Thank you for that. I'm sorry I had to rush you.
:06:10. > :06:12.No problem. On the day that Scottish voters
:06:13. > :06:15.decide whether to break awax from the United Kingdom,
:06:16. > :06:19.the Deputy Prime Minister Nhck Clegg has been in Yorkshire,
:06:20. > :06:21.asking business leaders for their ideas about how to give us here
:06:22. > :06:24.in the north of England mord power. Here' s our Political Editor,
:06:25. > :06:39.Len Tingle. It was a simple question posed by
:06:40. > :06:43.Nick Clegg. Why should the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish have the
:06:44. > :06:45.powers to choose how to spend most of the taxpayers money they
:06:46. > :06:48.received, well those who live in Yorkshire don't?
:06:49. > :06:52.We cannot carry on with this ludicrous anachronism.
:06:53. > :06:58.They invited audience here hn Leeds came from business, univershties and
:06:59. > :07:01.local authorities in Yorkshhre. All agreed with the sentiment of
:07:02. > :07:11.bringing more power to Yorkshire but there was some scepticism from the
:07:12. > :07:18.renewed interest from national politicians.
:07:19. > :07:26.Money. If you can break the stranglehold of Whitehall then you
:07:27. > :07:30.break the stranglehold of power He said we'd do occasionallx keep
:07:31. > :07:34.giving you money to the reghonal growth fund and the City De`l which
:07:35. > :07:37.argued. But it is still the old dependency.
:07:38. > :07:43.We should get more of our money Clearly that is something nobody
:07:44. > :07:51.would refuse. But we duck and dive around the issue.
:07:52. > :07:55.They need to talk to the people The Deputy Prime Minister w`s quite
:07:56. > :07:59.clear. There will be no new assembly Parliament for any region in
:08:00. > :08:02.England. As far as he is concerned, the building blocks to exercise
:08:03. > :08:06.regional power are already hn place. A little earlier, I spoke to
:08:07. > :08:20.Mr Clegg and he acknowledged that Everything is far too centr`lised in
:08:21. > :08:24.London. This is like an open forum for people to come up the bdst
:08:25. > :08:32.ideas. I don't think the best ideas should be up in London, thex should
:08:33. > :08:36.be thought of by people herd. Let's have the debate and we can gather
:08:37. > :08:41.the best ideas about how thd North can stand on its own two fedt and
:08:42. > :08:48.not just about how policies can be passed down from London. I think
:08:49. > :08:51.that will create momentum towards decentralised powers.
:08:52. > :08:54.So you're not guaranteeing `ny powers, just saying let's h`ve a
:08:55. > :09:04.conversation? We have seen things like City
:09:05. > :09:06.Deals, something I have spe`rheaded. ?1 billion transport infrastructure
:09:07. > :09:12.fund here. We haven't seen this happen yet
:09:13. > :09:16.though, haven't we? There are local debates which I m
:09:17. > :09:21.not going to intervene in. H am a Sheffield MP so I won't get involved
:09:22. > :09:27.in local debates but new tr`nsfer funds have been established. Leeds
:09:28. > :09:36.has been leading the way in new schemes. Helping people not in
:09:37. > :09:40.education, employment or tr`ining to find work. That has been successful
:09:41. > :09:47.because it was decentralised from London. Nobody has a wisdom on this.
:09:48. > :09:51.That everybody wants to see greater powers, greater freedoms, enjoyed in
:09:52. > :09:55.the North of England so thex can create a kind of alternativd harp,
:09:56. > :10:00.and economic up. Why is that not happening now? You
:10:01. > :10:04.have been in power in four xears `` for four years.
:10:05. > :10:09.Lots of things have happened. But they have been slow comhng.
:10:10. > :10:15.You keep saying that. They have happened. We have local growth
:10:16. > :10:19.deals, new borrowing powers, City Deals, retention of business rates,
:10:20. > :10:29.all these have never happendd before and it is simply not true to say
:10:30. > :10:36.they have. I want to go further Curiously, the referendum in
:10:37. > :10:42.Scotland has lifted a lid on a wider dissatisfaction about everything
:10:43. > :10:45.being is centralised. Some people might say that councils
:10:46. > :10:49.here are under so much pressure with the cuts that we have got ldss
:10:50. > :10:53.spending power than they evdr had before.
:10:54. > :10:57.This is part of the problem. Councils are under huge pressure
:10:58. > :11:01.because of the mass of Larkhall in public finance but I think the way
:11:02. > :11:10.to square the circle, given there are no pots of gold lying around, is
:11:11. > :11:19.to give more freedom to comlunities so that they are not just w`iting
:11:20. > :11:22.for hand`outs from Whitehall. Even as we faced difficult financial
:11:23. > :11:23.pressures, they can still do the things they want for their local
:11:24. > :11:28.communities. Are we not in enough financhal
:11:29. > :11:35.difficulty as it is? That is why you get the devhl in the
:11:36. > :11:44.detail. You do not have taxpayers bailing out councils of the future.
:11:45. > :11:50.Tomorrow, we will have more on what the Scottish referendum means for
:11:51. > :11:54.the future of lots. `` future of the Yorkshire.
:11:55. > :12:02.We'll go behind the scenes of a new project with really high hopes.
:12:03. > :12:04.A temporary Police Commissioner has been appointed in South Yorkshire.
:12:05. > :12:06.Shaun Wright stepped down from the role on Tuesday
:12:07. > :12:10.after criticism following the report into grooming in Rotherham.
:12:11. > :12:12.He's been replaced by Steve Pick, who is currently
:12:13. > :12:20.The by`election for a new, permanent,
:12:21. > :12:23.Police Commissioner will be held on Thursday the 30th of October
:12:24. > :12:26.The Director of Children's Services in Rotherham has faced further calls
:12:27. > :12:29.to resign after it emerged she was on sick leave.
:12:30. > :12:31.Joyce Thacker's been at the centre of controversy after a report
:12:32. > :12:34.revealed hundreds of childrdn had been sexually abused in the town.
:12:35. > :12:36.Keith Vaz, the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committde,
:12:37. > :12:40.has said her absence leaves the council in limbo and that she seemed
:12:41. > :12:51.in perfect health while appdaring before his committee last wdek.
:12:52. > :12:53.A new ?10 million training centre for staff who work
:12:54. > :12:56.for the Yorkshire`based airline Jet2 has opened in Bradford todax.
:12:57. > :12:58.Pilots, cabin crew and engineers will all undergo intensive training
:12:59. > :13:01.at the centre which includes flight simulators and a mock`up
:13:02. > :13:20.Take off. Not from Leeds Br`dford, just Bradford, or rather from an
:13:21. > :13:24.industrial estate on the edge of the city. Jet2 have decided to put their
:13:25. > :13:30.new flight simulator is herd because so many of their staff are based in
:13:31. > :13:34.the North. Add from Doncastdr is a new recruit. He will finish off his
:13:35. > :13:39.final training at the centrd. I will be spending long hours here
:13:40. > :13:46.and finishing late at night but it is right on my doorstep.
:13:47. > :13:51.Once you come out, you can see it as no more than a big part movhng about
:13:52. > :13:56.on its legs inside this wardhouse. Staff used to have to go to Gatwick
:13:57. > :14:01.and Birmingham airports, now they will be able to train in thhs big
:14:02. > :14:14.shared. Not just pilots but cabin crew, who will be learning how to
:14:15. > :14:22.serve drinks. Lean forward and off you go.
:14:23. > :14:26.It is really intense. The gtys have to come back every year and retrain
:14:27. > :14:30.so they are kept up to speed with everything. But they really enjoy
:14:31. > :14:42.coming here, especially now we have got our own facility.
:14:43. > :14:46.Today, 1000 cabin crew, 600 pilots, engineers and administrators work
:14:47. > :14:49.for the company. The training centre is another expansion from what is
:14:50. > :14:53.becoming one of Yorkshire's biggest employers.
:14:54. > :14:58.Spent nearly ?10 million on this facility. The simulators ard very
:14:59. > :15:04.expensive. We have a big te`m running them all week. But ht is
:15:05. > :15:07.worth it because there is no aspect in aviation that is more important
:15:08. > :15:14.than safety. Adam hopes qualify as a pilot within
:15:15. > :15:25.months. Thanks to a simulator next to the mortar Mac 06. `` M06.
:15:26. > :15:28.Yorkshire's love affair with beer is reaping rewards for not only
:15:29. > :15:32.Here on Look North we've carried many reports about the coll`pse
:15:33. > :15:41.But tonight one of Leeds' oldest pubs, the Griffin, is reopening
:15:42. > :15:45.Its owners say they want to turn our passion for beer into an engine
:15:46. > :16:10.This is one of the oldest ptbs in the area. It is next to an tnused
:16:11. > :16:18.hotel. Why have the company lavished almost ?750,000 on rebranding it? It
:16:19. > :16:24.could be because microbreweries are increasingly popular.
:16:25. > :16:37.This brewery was established to just 18 months ago but such is ddmand for
:16:38. > :16:42.locally brewed beers, this lay `` microbrewery has increased demand.
:16:43. > :16:50.Even the malt is locally supplied. We have got pale ale malt hdre and
:16:51. > :16:54.crystal malt here. That will affect the flavour a little bit. Most of
:16:55. > :17:01.the character and the flavotr is from the hops. Have a smell.
:17:02. > :17:10.Strong but quite pleasant. @cross the region, there are more than 140
:17:11. > :17:15.companies brewing beer. As luch as I would love to, I'm driving so I will
:17:16. > :17:24.have to decline. I will be happy to relieve xou of
:17:25. > :17:26.that. What is driving the success of
:17:27. > :17:32.microbreweries? It is the quality. The eclectic
:17:33. > :17:38.styles and different types of beers from around the country is far
:17:39. > :17:44.beyond what the big boys usdd to do. Yorkshire is the centre of the
:17:45. > :17:48.universe for real ale, as f`r as I am concerned.
:17:49. > :17:52.In an age when up to 28 pubs are closing across Britain everx week,
:17:53. > :18:01.it is perhaps surprising to find one opening.
:18:02. > :18:07.Tonight, the people are herd by invitation only so if you do want to
:18:08. > :18:12.sample some real ale and whx not, this establishment opens ovdr the
:18:13. > :18:16.next day or so. The microbrdweries confident that their market is only
:18:17. > :18:20.going one way and that is up. Thank you. I hope you have not been
