since we prosecuted the rochdale case.e model and behaviour, the same mistakes we re and behaviour, the same mistakes were made by those who were engaging with those young people and ignoring those young people. it took a very brave group of young people to support the prosecution, it took an enormous amount of effort to ensure the individuals in rochdale where convicted and to ensure that others are brought to justice. convicted and to ensure that others are brought tojustice. this convicted and to ensure that others are brought to justice. this case convicted and to ensure that others are brought tojustice. this case in 2013 was quite telling, because we had prosecuted rochdale and we have begun to understand the extent of this problem throughout the country. this is so widespread and we now have more than 200 offenders who have more than 200 offenders who have been convicted or already sent to prison. we have hundreds and hundreds of the victims who have had the opportunity to give their evidence or at least two are now

this is a scene from a bbc drama based on true events that took place in rochdale.ng of predominantly pakistani men who groomed them by buying expensive gifts, taking them to parties and offering them drugs and alcohol. the chief prosecutor on that case, nazin afzal, helped in making the drama. he has come to huddersfield to talk to me about the pattern that seems to be emerging around this particular model of child sexual exploitation. when it comes to street grooming of the type in this case and in rotherham and rochdale and 15 or 17 other places, sadly disproportionately we have pakistani men engaged in this type of behaviour. what we are talking about is, they target very vulnerable young girls, very often they are looked after or they are in chaotic and troubled relationships or families. they offer them the earth and then deliver them to hell. nazir acknowledges that there are a number of fact is which play are a number of factors which play a role in the psyche of those who operate in grooming but he believes that sexism is at the heart of it. there is misogy

chris says he's had three ecoboost engines brought into his garage in rochdale and they've all had thee problem. this is the cylinder head of an engine. basically, that's the top half of your engine. what we're finding is they seem to be cracking. you can see just there. they seem to be cracking. we've seen quite a few now that have all cracked in the same place. and you've got a test that you do on this part of the engine. we've already tested this one, and we know it's cracked, so we'll put some air into it and show you where it's coming from. so what we've got inside the exhaust... ah! so it's not coming out of all of there... i can feel it. it's just coming out of that crack there. it's just coming out of that crack. why is that causing the engine to fail? what we are finding is when it's cracking, it's allowing the coolant of the engine to go into the exhaust system. if it loses all its coolant, the engine will overheat and the engine will eventually fail. it's bad enough having your engine cut out while you're driving, but some drivers have had an even more terrifying problem. cl

and this seems to have happened from huddersfield to rochdale, halifax to newcastle, and many other townsioners have sought to maintain the rule of law for victims and perpetrators without fear or favour. has timely investigation, prosecution been sacrificed in favour of social cohesion? i don't think that what has happened here is political correctness. i think that given the sheer number of people involved and the types of crime they have committed against very vulnerable girls it has taken time to bring this case forward. the last time i was driven around north bradford by one of our local councillors i did not see a single policeman on the street all afternoon. i saw three people peddling drugs on the streets as we passed by. does that not mean that we need larger resources than we have at the moment to cope with the underlying social issues which give rise to this sort of exploitation of children, male and female children? a former metropolitan police commissioner referred to cuts in police budgets. the simple fact is, the minister is explaining small packets of money that have been

leadership credentials by speaking to the wall and what's interesting is sajid javid was born in rochdalegh upbringing with his brothers, and obviously has gone on to great success. he is very much in the thatcherite camp in terms where he stands in the conservative party. and he was saying, so after, what was it, 2020, you know, all people in the eu who want to come, 3 million people, that has been agreed, that was agreed last december with the northern ireland backstop, but other immigrants will not now be allowed in and they will stop low paid immigrants from returning, so it is quite an interesting thing for him to say. what he does have the backing of is mrs may, who backed up his comments, so unlike others he is not going off—piste, he is in sync with the prime ministerfor now. off—piste, he is in sync with the prime minister for now.” off—piste, he is in sync with the prime minister for now. i would like to move onto another story, if you mind, back to the telegraph, actually, this is the headline, natasha's law on food labelling to prevent allergy deaths, proposed food safety rule

john pienaar, bbc news, bath. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan is in rochdale.ve, as we have been reporting, been repeated problems with the introduction of this new benefit. what is the likely response from government going to be? well, there are currentlyjust over a million people on universal credit and they are on the benefit because they have had a change of circumstances, perhaps they have lost a job and had to apply the benefits or moved house and have a new address, but under the government's current proposals, benefit recipients whose circumstances have not changed will start getting letters next summer telling them to apply for universal credit, and that will be a mammoth task, getting millions and millions more people onto universal credit by the current deadline of 2023. introducing a further delay into this benefit would not be unheard of, it is already years behind schedule and there are dozens and dozens schedule and there are dozens and d oze ns of schedule and there are dozens and dozens ofjob schedule and there are dozens and dozens of job cent

does the conservative party had to offer a son of an immigrant from working—class backgrounds in rochdalee one of the best ministerial teams, we've got caroline noakes, ministerial teams, we've got caroline noa kes, ben ministerial teams, we've got caroline noakes, ben wallace, nick berg, victoria atkins and susan williams, backed up by a fantastic parliamentary team, simon, rachel, paul, so thank you to my whole team at the home office. there is something profound about that word, home. most of my counterparts ran a world, they run ministries of the interior, interior ministry, it's got a cold, brittle feel about it. home, it's where you feel safe, co mforta ble, home, it's where you feel safe, comfortable, and in control. it reflects your identity, and your values. it's your base for going out into the wider world. that's exactly the kind of place we want the uk to be. here's the pledge of this party, britain, a home for all its citizens, together, we will build a stronger home. now, beyond britain, outside our home, the winds of division and extremism are blowing strong. all over the w

afzal, former chief prosecutor for the north—west of england who famously reopened the infamous rochdale the race gangs is relevant? let me be very clear, i have no interest in the race of the perpetrators. what i am interested in is catching child abusers and looking at the commonalities that would enable us to prevent their behaviour and get the prosecutions we need. one of the things which was frustrating me with the grooming gangs was predominantly they were pakistani men but we were not discussing it and were not doing the research into what it is, what is happening within that culture thatis is happening within that culture that is enabling these criminals to operate. we do it with the catholic church, we are looking into it in parliament, why are we not looking into the culture behind this grooming? what is the evidence that it was not an element of what was being discussed around what was going on? if you look at two independent reports into rotherham, both of them said one of the problems was people within social services and the police being concerned about called a racist if t
