:04:08. > :04:13.heard progress has been madd in Rochdale. What is your view? I
:04:14. > :04:16.always believed that Rochdale was a catalyst for change. The molent when
:04:17. > :04:22.people woke up to the reality of these crimes, I have been speaking
:04:23. > :04:27.out since 2007, and I was accused of doing the work of the far rhght but
:04:28. > :04:30.now we know this has gone on. The systems and institutions th`t were
:04:31. > :04:34.there to protect children h`d failed. And all of those with
:04:35. > :04:37.responsibility should resign which is why I think the Chief Exdcutive
:04:38. > :04:43.of Liverpool City Council should consider his position as well. There
:04:44. > :04:47.was also the issue of racisl brought up in the Rotherham report which
:04:48. > :04:52.also raised its head in Rochdale as one of the reasons that the abuse
:04:53. > :04:57.wasn't exposed earlier. Do xou think there's still a problem now in
:04:58. > :05:01.institutions? No, I don't. @s you referred to it in the report, there
:05:02. > :05:05.is a number of instances whdre the council and the police in
:05:06. > :05:10.partnership have worked togdther in Rochdale, running awareness sessions
:05:11. > :05:14.in child sexual exploitation is There are activities going on in
:05:15. > :05:18.schools for teenage children. So the lessons are being learned, `nd there
:05:19. > :05:22.is more partnership with thd projects. We are never complacent,
:05:23. > :05:29.we must do more, but there hs an element that thinks that whhte girls
:05:30. > :05:33.are worthless. This is the same position since 2007. Becausd they
:05:34. > :05:37.are white, they are able to use them. So, there are still pdople
:05:38. > :05:47.with those thoughts and atthtudes in Rochdale? Yes. So, is there any
:05:48. > :05:50.abuse at the moment? There `re some investigation is ongoing in
:05:51. > :05:52.Manchester. We will have to see what happens there.

:21:12. > :21:16.donation, so physically removing the tissue from that patient so it can
:21:17. > :21:19.be shipped out as a graft. We will try to get some donated skin.
:21:20. > :21:22.The programme also features some of those whose lives are ch`nged
:21:23. > :21:30.I hope it escalates tissue donations to the wider public and givds them
:21:31. > :21:34.more information because thd idea is the information is out therd for
:21:35. > :21:37.them to make their own choices, and hopefully make an informed choice of
:21:38. > :21:38.whether or not they want to become a donor in the future.
:21:39. > :21:47.The programme will be broadcast on BBC Three next Monday at 9pm
:21:48. > :22:01.Just occasionally, we get a bit of a jealous pang for our colleagues who
:22:02. > :22:05.get to do something really good The second year running, the Northwest
:22:06. > :22:08.is officially home to the bdst restaurant in the country and mouth
:22:09. > :22:24.for the first time, the best pub as well. L'Enclume has taken the
:22:25. > :22:31.restaurant prize and our reporter is it was well. What are they serving
:22:32. > :22:34.up in the pub tonight? Welcome to the Freemasons, the best
:22:35. > :22:38.pub in the country officially according to the good food guide.
:22:39. > :22:43.This isn't any place getting accolades because the best
:22:44. > :22:46.restaurant in the country is Simon Rogan's place in Cumbria. That is
:22:47. > :22:51.where I have spent the day finding out what the secret is to their
:22:52. > :22:54.success. There is a noticeable lack of
:22:55. > :23:00.swearing in the kitchen at L'Enclume. It is calm. Everxthing is
:23:01. > :23:04.precise. And, for the second year in a row, it is the best restatrant in
:23:05. > :23:08.Britain. Is there still that stereotype that all you get in the
:23:09. > :23:14.North as pies and if you want good food you've got to go to London It
:23:15. > :23:17.can be at times. I think, though, that there is so many good
:23:18. > :23:24.restaurants in the area, in Cumbria itself, and food producers, that is
:23:25. > :23:29.on the decline now. I think, hopefully, we have shrugged that
:23:30. > :23:32.off. With the award is stacking up, it's not just the restaurant itself
:23:33. > :23:38.feeling the benefits. Locals will tell you that they now have their
:23:39. > :23:44.own micro`economy, key to bringing in visitors. We have a brewdry,
:23:45. > :23:50.bread shop, wine shop, cheese shop. And all of that is something else.
:23:51. > :23:54.And it is brilliant. The village is getting a reputation for behng a
:23:55. > :23:59.foodie place. And people ardn't only buying food while they are here
:24:00. > :24:08.Steve set up shop a long daxs `` set up a shop a Kopelev shops down from
:24:09. > :24:13.L'Enclume because of the tr`de. The clientele are the kind that will
:24:14. > :24:19.spend the money. They get a nice restaurant experience and then they
:24:20. > :24:28.come here. People come, people eat, and people people spend. Thhs is the
:24:29. > :24:32.go`to place for good food and fine dining.
:24:33. > :24:36.That is the restaurant side of things. After the eating coles the
:24:37. > :24:41.drinking and so we find ourselves at the bar. This is Steven Smith who
:24:42. > :24:45.owns the Freemasons. You must be so pleased to be the best pub hn the
:24:46. > :24:51.country. Over the moon, supdrb. What's the secret of your stccess?
:24:52. > :24:57.You took it over five years ago how have you made it work? Take each day
:24:58. > :25:02.as it comes, being personable, never let things be too much trouble for
:25:03. > :25:08.our customers. If we can do it, we will do it for you. And makhng sure
:25:09. > :25:12.that we keep the pub in it. People were saying that has become an area
:25:13. > :25:20.known for local produce and good food, is it the same thing here It
:25:21. > :25:25.is similar. The Northwest, `cross the board, produce is fantastic The
:25:26. > :25:30.Ribble Valley has a fantasthc reputation already, which m`kes it
:25:31. > :25:35.easier for us to start up and hopefully, enhance that repttation.
:25:36. > :25:39.Some people might think the guide is a bit elitist, the places are
:25:40. > :25:47.expensive, is that your takd on it? Definitely not. I mean, obvhously,
:25:48. > :25:52.we have three courses for ?05, fantastic value for money. @nd there
:25:53. > :25:56.is something for everybody there. Thank you very much, and
:25:57. > :26:00.congratulations. Now my work is over and so I will leave you to think on
:26:01. > :26:06.that. I wonder what she's going to do The
:26:07. > :26:07.Northwest is the best place to eat, than! Except for my microwave meal
:26:08. > :26:17.tonight. Weather`wise today, it was just
:26:18. > :26:21.lovely. Tomorrow, a day of two halves, staying dry, but thd
:26:22. > :26:25.rain`bob will turn up in thd afternoon. Tonight, a band of
:26:26. > :26:31.rain`bob to the south`west of us. And then it pushes its way hn. Once
:26:32. > :26:36.the sun comes in, by midnight you will see it. You will see it as it
:26:37. > :26:41.rises over the high ground with heavy burst of rain from tile to
:26:42. > :26:45.time. There's a few good thhngs about it, the cloud cover associated
:26:46. > :26:51.with it keeps the temperatures up. The other good news is it is a
:26:52. > :26:59.fairly narrow band. Tomorrow, temperatures, 13, 14, 15, and the
:27:00. > :27:03.morning isn't too bad. That rain and drizzle might continue for the first
:27:04. > :27:08.hours but through the morning on a brighter and drier skies. Don't be
:27:09. > :27:12.full sway you set out thinkhng that weather will last all day bdcause
:27:13. > :27:16.that is the next line of rahn, moving in after lunch. It moves
:27:17. > :27:26.across the region, falling `part in many places, so not everywhdre will
:27:27. > :27:32.be wet. By tea`time, brightdr skies. Temperatures, around 19. It doesn't
:27:33. > :27:39.feel too bad. There will be arraigned sandwich, we
:27:40. > :27:56.could put that on the menu! `` there will be a rain sandwich.
:27:57. > :27:59.You asked for it. You got it. SHRILL WHISTLE
:28:00. > :28:02.I promise not to take off all my clothes.
:28:03. > :28:05.I'm going up in the world, babes, and from today,
:28:06. > :28:11.one can't sack someone for going, "Bleuh-huh-huh-huh"
:28:12. > :28:16.I'm going to teach you a lesson, Churchy.
:28:17. > :28:19.Where's your shoe? It's in the car. I'll get it later.
