Good evening and welcome to the late Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight - Ben Needham's famhly refuse to believe he's dead. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
His sister says she remains hopeful he's still alive, | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
And hundreds of jobs are at risk at a Doncaster-based | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
rail freight firm - is green energy to blame? | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
A fine and dry nights are most places, but will the showers return | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
tomorrow? I'll be back later with all the details. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
The sister of missing toddldr Ben Needham has told Look North | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
she's not giving up hope that he could still be alivd | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
even though police believe he was killed 25 years ago. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
South Yorkshire Police formally ended a three-week | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
They think a toy car found `mong rubble is evidence that Ben died | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
as a result of an accident involving a digger. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Speaking to our reporter James Vincent, his sister Ldigh Anna | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Every time that you're sort of waiting for some news, | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
every time the phone rings, your heart sinks. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
You don't actually want to `nswer the phone, you don't want to admit | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
to yourself that they were dver going to find anything to stggest | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Although that's been found, there's still no proof that | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
Ben is no longer alive, in my eyes. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
The police now are saying they believe Ben is dead. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
I suppose from your point of view, the key word is "believe". | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
You don't even want to say the word "dead", do you? | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
It's in their professional belief based on probable doubt that | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
There's not enough evidence for me, as yet, to give up | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
Until I have solid evidence, ie remains of Ben, | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
that's when the grieving process will start. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
But I'm not about to say goodbye to my brother, my mum to her son, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
and my nan and grandad to their grandson without | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
When does it get to the point where you need to let go and say | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
yeah, I think actually now Ben might be dead? | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
When I have got enough proof to back it up. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
When we have potentially his remains. | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
Where we can bring him home and we can bring him to somdwhere | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
that we can remember him, somewhere that we can grievd. | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
For it to come to an ending like this, it feels like 25 | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
If somebody knew that Ben had died that day, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
why not come forward that d`y and end this? | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
I'd have lived a relatively normal upbringing and we'd | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
My mum and my grandparents would have been able to gridve | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
and they'd have been able to move on with their lives. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Because whilever we're in lhmbo and whilever we're still fighting | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
and whilever we're still se`rching, we're never truly happy. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
James Vincent is in Sheffield tonight. | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
Still so difficult for the family to accept Ben could be dead. Do you | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
believe they're on different pages to the police? The family are great | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
and positive about the work South Yorkshire Police have done for them, | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
especially on the island of Kos Over 3000 hours of digging over 1000 | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
tonnes of material. The polhce say they believe Ben has died, but the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
family are saying until thex have that salubrious they will kdep | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
searching. Leigh-Anna was t`lking about Ben's 27th birthday, which | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
will be this month. She was not using language like it would have | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
been Ben's 27th birthday thhs month so that their mindset even `t this | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
difficult time. The police funding for runs out in the next cotple of | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
weeks and the Needham familx have run this campaign themselves, | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
they've kept it going for 24 years. The police say they will kedp | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
investigate, but if they do have to go it alone, the Needham falily | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
stealing themselves to do it all over again. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
The Doncaster-based rail colpany DB Cargo plans to cut nearly a third | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
900 posts will go and trade unions have told Look North most of them | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
will be in Doncaster and across other sites in the North. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
David Rhodes has been following this story and joins me know. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
David, do we know why these jobs are being cut? | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
This is all to do with Cole and the fact we are losing that Magri using | :05:28. | :05:37. | |
less of it. DB Cargo are thd UK s biggest rail haulage firm. They | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
transport lots of coal and steel around the UK. The fact we `re using | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
less coal means those services are in less demand and that's bdhind the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
reduction in the number of staff. This isn't just about this company. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Doncaster is where the comp`ny is based and Doncaster has a specialism | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
for rail engineering. It will have the HS two Colin Djedje in ` centre | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
in 2017. -- College. DB Cargo has its headquarters there and ht is an | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
emblem for how important rahl is to the town, one in ten jobs are | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
connected to the rail sector. The loss of 900 jobs at this le`ding | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
company is not good use for the wider Doncaster colony. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
It will have a consequence in Doncaster. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
We've got a growing and devdloping economy, but stuff like this | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
will inevitably knock busindss confidence in an area. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
There will be supply chain consequences and, of course, | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
hundreds of people potentially out of work will create | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Mid-term, we remain absolutdly convinced there is investment | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
in the rail sector here, so we're seeing Hitachi makd | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
multi-million investments, we've seen the high-speed r`il | :06:47. | :06:47. | |
college come out of the grotnd, we've seen key developments such | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
As we go towards a more gredner future, it's so much harder for the | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
old Yorkshire companies to keep up. 25% of our energy comes frol | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
renewable sources and that will increase in the coming years as we | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
use more things like wind ttrbines and solar panels. For policxmakers | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
it means they have to creatd new green jobs where old carbon jobs are | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
being destroyed. You're alw`ys going to have more people are employed at | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
a coal powered fire station than you are at a wind farm. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
The body which represents doctors in Kirklees has come out | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
against proposals to shake tp casualty services in Huddersfield. | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Under the controversial plans, the town's Royal Infirmary | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
would lose its A department and patients would have to go to | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Now, Kirklees Local Medical Committee has rejected the hdea | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
There is a need for change in the way that health servhces | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
are delivered across the population in West Yorkshire. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
We feel that the single proposal being offered is not the right one. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
And it's not the right one because when you look | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
at various parameters, including things like the population | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
density, two thirds of the population are based | :08:07. | :08:07. | |
Jimmy Savile's flat in Leeds has been demolished. | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
The disgraced television prdsenter lived in the penthouse apartment | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
overlooking Roundhay Park for 3 years until his death in 2001. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
The new owners say the flat was left in a "terrible condition" | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
and were granted planning pdrmission to build a new apartment | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
A group of campaigners have handed a petition into Downing Strdet | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
against the new route being proposed for HS2. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Members of the Joint Rural Parishes Action Group representing Doncaster, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Mexborough and Bramley and Rotherham want the Government to rethhnk | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
the proposed high-speed rail route through South Yorkshire. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Football now, and in the Championship, Barnsley lost 2-0 | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
Rotherham sit four points adrift at the bottom after a 4-2 | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
And Leeds United conceded in the 91st minute to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
In League One, Bradford werd held at home by Southend. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Chesterfield continue to struggle, going down 1-0 | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
But good news for Sheffield United, who made it seven wins from nine | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
That's it from me. Any more moon bows? Perhaps not tonight, but maybe | :09:22. | :09:38. | |
on Sunday with a full moon. We had this picture sent in from Bdn of a | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
lunar rainbow across the skhes in Skipton, North Yorkshire, on Sunday | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
evening. It's formed in much the same way as a normal rainbow, but | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
instead of sunlight, its moonlight instead. There may be one or two | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
rainbows tomorrow because wd will have showers, but they will be very | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
hit and miss. Plenty of dry and bright weather with some sunshine. | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
High pressure builds from the week. It might be further east th`t we get | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
a few showers. At the moment we still have some showers over the | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Peak District. Most of thosd will die away overnight. Dry with clear | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
spells, at some missed in any shelter as the breeze Falls light. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Temperatures down to around five or six. A cool start to tomorrow. Dry, | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
bright with plenty of sunshhne. A few showers through the course of | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
the day. You're more likely to catch them the more east you are. It will | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
be breezy down the coast line as well. A blustery and cold d`y today, | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
but temperatures recovering tomorrow. 12 or 13 Celsius. A | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
similar day on Thursday with plenty of dry and bright weather. One or | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
two showers, especially near the coast. A similar theme on Friday. | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
Coastal parts more likely to get the Good evening. As you've just seen | :11:00. | :11:12. | |
from your local outlook, not a huge amount changes over the next few | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
days. The weather patterns will be blocked again. What is driving that? | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
It's a deep area of low pressure, the remnants of hurricane Nicole in | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
the Atlantic. That's heading towards Greenland. Set to pile up the snow | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
here, metres of it in the next few days. It's dragging a lot of warm | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
air into the North Atlantic on the Eastern flank. What that does is | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
build this, high pressure. That s not going to move a great deal over | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
the next few days. To the east, low pressure in place. That means | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Eastern England always prone for further showers through the rest of | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
this week. For the rest of the UK, largely dry, some sunny days, but | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
also rather cool nights and a few misty mornings. Some of you start | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
that way in the morning. Temperatures in single figures for | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
the most part. A north-west | :11:57. | :11:57. |
