Good evening, welcome to Tuesday's Look North...

On the programme tonight Ben Needham's family refuse

His sister says she remains hopeful he's still alive,

There is not enough evidencd, for me, as yet, to give up,

and to believe that he died that day.

Also tonight, hundreds of jobs are at risk at a Doncaster-based

rail freight firm, is green energy to blame?

I'm getting less son how to shave a life. Restart heart day peaches CPR

The sister of missing toddldr Ben Needham says she's not giving up

hope that he could still be alive - even though police believe

he was killed on the Greek hsland of Kos 25 years ago.

South Yorkshire Police formally ended a three-week

They think a toy car, found among rubble,

is evidence that Ben died as a result of an accident

But his sister Leigh-Anna s`ys the family still need proof.

My heart sank. Every time that you waiting this news, every tile that

phone rings, your heart sinks. You don't want to answer the phone or

admit to yourself that you light not ever find anything to suggest that

then maybe no longer be allowed No, you cannot say the word dead, it

makes me feel physically sick. It is in their professional belief, based

on probable bout, that he dhed on that day. -- based on probable bout.

There was not another evidence from me as of yet to give up, and admit

he died on that date. Intel I have solid evidence, ie remains of them.

That is when the grieving process will start. I'm not about to say

goodbye to my brother, my mtm to her son, my grandparents to thehr

grandson, without evidence to support that. You do not give up on

family if that is anything H know, we are a very close family `nd you

don't give at Intel there is to say otherwise. It has been a very

traumatic 25 years for my f`mily I have seen all of my family break and

come back up again and break and come back up again. I don't know how

much longer everybody has ldft, how much strength they have left. We

have just got to do what we have always done. The key thing hs, we

will be all right because wd always are and we always get there in the

end, it just takes a lock of pushing to get there, strength and

perseverance to get there. We want answers, my mum needs and sdwers, my

mum wants justice and so dods then. -- my mum needs answers. We are

never truly happy. Those ard the words of the sister of misshng

toddler, Ben Needham. Next on night Doncaster based rail companx DB

Cargo has today announced it plans to axe nearly a third

of all its jobs in the UK. The company says it plans to close

900 posts with trade unions telling the BBC most of the jobs will go

in Doncaster and across othdr David Rhodes is outside

the headquarters of the company David do we know why

these jobs are being cut? yes, this is to do with Cold and the

fact that we're not using so much of it. This as the UK's it givds rail

haulage firm has built its lodel on moving lots of coal and stedl. But

as we raise whole out of producing energy, that means that UK cargo

firm doesn't have to move as much coal around the country on ` regular

basis. In fact, they have c`ught 78% of their cold trains this ydar so

far. Doncaster has a specialism bow rail engineering, the hate `s to

engineering colleges going to be built here. And one in ten jobs here

in Doncaster is connected to this industry. So this is not good news

for the local economy. It will have a consequence

in Doncaster. We have a growing and developing

economy, but stuff like this will inevitably knock business

confidence in an area. There will be supply chain

consequences, and of course hundreds of people,

potentially, out of work will create Mid-term, we remain convincdd there

is investment in the rail sdctor here so we are seeing

Hitachi make multi-million here so we are seeing Hitachi make

multi-million investments, we're seeing the high-speed rail college,

out of the ground, we are sdeing key developments such as

the inland rail port. It is that to say that the company

is having problems in recent years? Yes, it made 250 people redtndant

last year. The trade unions say they made them redundant with thd same

reasons. Basically, the company hasn't adapted to the Times, the

trade unions tell me. It hasn't made provisions for its future. We do

know that a lot of people in Doncaster and across the North of

England worried about their future job prospects. David, thank you very

Children's mental health services in Yorkshire face an "emergdncy

according to leading doctors in our region.

It comes as research by BBC Look North reveals that

at least one in every 50 yotng people in Yorkshire

is in contact with a specialist mental health service.

Richard Beecham has been to meet one teenager who's been battling

I didn't see a future for myself so I didn't see

At the age of 15, Keira knew she needed help

with her mental health, but it wasn't that easy.

The school made a referral for me to CAMHS, which is Child

and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

That was about the end of ydar ten, the start of year 11.

I didn't actually get a call from CAMHS until the start of thhs year.

There are currently around 26,0 0 people aged 18 and under

I don't think I would be alhve if it wasn't for them taking me on. And

looking after me. There are currently around 26,0 0

people aged 18 and under receiving specialist mental

healthcare in Yorkshire. But how long you wait from referral

to your first appointment v`ries. In some areas the average

rate is ten days. Elsewhere it can be

five times longer. If you happen to live in Br`dford,

Rotherham or Doncaster The local target is 11

weeks and we are seeing 100% of urgent cases

are seen within a week. Because you getting an incrdase

in referrals for people who need more urgent support,

that does have an impact The NHS has only been collecting

data on the number of young people that use its mental health services

since January this year, and some doctors believe th`t these

could just be the tip We have talked about

it for too long. We have not done enough

to resolve the situation, and the longer we leave it,

the worse the problem gets. Where the NHS struggles to cope with

demand, charity projects ard increasingly stepping in to help. So

far we have helped 270 young people in Barnsley. It is a lovely place

where they can come and feel safe and know that other people feel the

and know that other people feel the same way that they do.

The government plans to invdst ?1.4 billion in its young pdople's

mental health care over the next five years.

But will the money be able to keep pace with the ever-growing demand?

Richard Beecham, BBC Look North, Keighley.

The body which represents doctors in Kirklees has come out

against proposals to shake tp casualty services in Huddersfield.

Under the controversial plans, the town's Royal Infhrmary

would lose its A department and patients would have

to go to Halifax for emergency treatment.

Now, Kirklees Local Medical Committee has rejected the hdea

There is a need for change in the way that health servhces

are delivered across the population in West Yorkshire.

We feel that the single proposal we have been offered

It is not the right one because when you look at various

peramiters including things like population density,

two thirds of the population are based around Huddersfield,

Jimmy Savile's flat in Leeds has been demolished.

The disgraced television prdsenter lived in the penthouse apartment

overlooking Roundhay Park for thirty years until his death in 2001.

The new owners say the flat was left in a "terrible condition"

and were granted planning pdrmission to build a new apartment

A group of campaigners have handed a petition into Downing Strdet

against the new route being proposed for HS2.

A woman who was repeatedly raped at the hands of child sex

abusers in Rotherham, has told Look North,

Emma, not her real name, says the men who sexually

abused her, should have facdd justice when she first reported

Yesterday eight men were found guilty of historhc

charges including rape, indecent assault and false

imprisonment, against three thirteen year old girls

The main victim, speaking for the first time,

told Phil Bodmer of her relhef that her long fight

It all started happening when I was 13 and I was in Rotherham

I built a friendship with him, or what I thought.

That is really how they lurdd me in, just through friendships.

It just changed really quickly, just one night

I think that is what, sort of, made it so hard

for me to understand, because there wasn't

And he would force you into sex with his friends as well,

Yes, I was just passed around, they really just thought

And did they see themselves as untouchable, did they thhnk

I think so, I think they just thought that, you know,

they would never, ever, be, they had got away

The more they got away with it, and the longer they got

away with it, it made them more confident.

And your family, I believe, was forced to move abroad.

We were getting threats off these men.

They were parking outside the house, and driving round the street,

calling the house phone, threatening that they were going to rapd my mum.

You reported the abuse to the police when you were just 13 years old

you think that the police took that seriously at the time?

If they had, the result shows that if they had

taken my allegations, what I said, seriously,

all those years ago, I would have had justice many,

There is no denying that and that state had an impact on my lhfe.

That made what happened to le, by these men, a hundred timds worse,

because no one was interestdd or cared, it was as though

Do you have any messages for the perpetrators?

Now is the time for them to deal with the consequences

of their actions like I had to and they might know now just

People will know what they `re, what they did and who they `re.

Because they shouldn't be w`lking around on the streets and I am quite

Ambulance worker, Chris Solomons is living proof that CPR can s`ve a

life. He collapsed with a c`rdiac arrest and quick action frol his

colleagues using CPR kept hhm alive. He was telling his story to the

children today. It is humblhng that a ten or 11-year-olds are inspired

to meet a cardiac survivor. It is important to teach them young. If we

think get it part of the curriculum I will be a happy man.

Oliver is ten, and you have just learned how to do CPR.

So, you need to check if thdy are breathing, and if they are not

unique to press on the chest. Right, so I put my hand like that. Then,

press as hard as you can. Is that hard enough? Yes. To save someone's

life is a big thing! Yorkshire has the best out

of hospital cardiac arrest survival rate in the country,

and with more people knowing how to do CPR,

more lives should be saved. There's more advice

on how to do CPR, from the head of resuscitathon

not Ian White that tries to save me. Well I train, so I can do it.

What do a rabbit, an eightids pop star and careers

Andy Pickles, once part of Jive Bunny

So I started out by getting a job in a recording studio

From there, I progressed into, stumbled into,

the mayhem of making records with a rabbit from Rotherhal.

Pop stardom may not seem like the obvious launch pad

for a careers guidance webshte, but in the years after Jive Bunny,

Andy Pickles spent a lot of time talking about how he got st`rted.

I was in schools telling yotng people what I did, and I cale away

with this understanding that they just hadn't a clud

I thought there must be a bdtter way to deliver careers guidance

Andy's Start software, which matches users to jobs based

on their skills and likes, has been a big hit in schools.

A new edition streams work stories, submitted by ordinary peopld,

giving a real insight into what jobs are like.

The ideal ears, absolutely `nyone can record one of these viddos just

using a mobile phone, tablet or computer. The more people that do

it, the more young people will get out of the site.

Being able to hear first-hand from people who do those jobs,

who can explain what it takds to get them, both in terms

of qualifications and attittde, has been an eye-opener

It is not a nine to five, creativity can strike you at any point. You can

see people that have broken into that Beeld of work. When thdy give

us advise it will help us and reflect on as when we go into our

jobs. They tell you what other best lessons to do and how to colplete

school and where they are in their life.

This is exactly what we havd been crying out for as a school,

the opportunity for young people to see other people

The only other people they talk to around careers is teachers

This is a way of getting re`l first-hand experience,

to the students' ears really, really easily.

Yes, we think it is absolutely needed.

And this time, no trace of the rabbit.

That is a great idea, I would have loved something like that when I was

The Northern Broadsides the`tre company is well known for bringing

a distinctly Yorkshire flavour to its productions,

and its latest play is by one of our region's most famous writers.

JB Priestley's "When We Are Married" is a comedy set in 1908 abott three

couples who think they've bden married for 25 years.

It opens at the West Yorkshire Playhousd tonight

and stars Sue Daveney, best known for her roles

in Coronation Street and Dinner Ladies,

They popped in for a chat with company director

We'll hear from them in a moment , but first let's have

In those first few months I did not realise that there were varhous

forms I ought to have signed and had witnessed by church offices,

so that one may be recorded as an authorised person to perform

The result was I was not thdn an authorised person.

Fortunately, in that short period, I was only called upon twicd

to marry people, but the first time there were no

less than three hopeful young couples who imagine, poor souls

that I was joining them in holy wedlock when I was completely,

It is such a wonderful play isn't it?

It is the quintessential Yorkshire comedy.

When it gets into the stuff of human folly then it speaks

And, that has been shown on the tour, where we have

been Surrey, Lancashire, Cheshire, everywhere.

And what twist have you put on this, Barrie?

There is nothing that is additional to the text,

I wouldn't be so pompous, but I did discover a certain song

that came out in 1907, and the play is set in 1908.

As Priestley calls for fun singing and music at the end, I put it on.

Steve, do you get your kit off, Full Monty of course?

I spare the audience that ordeal, that is reserved completely

Tell me how you like this kind of challenge,

It is, anything like this is quick humour, it requires

So, you can't stop for breath really or the whole play

It is similar to pantomime hn that way, you have to keep the b`ll

The audience might not notice it, if you dropped the ball,

but we do on stage and it trips over its self.

There's quite a few moments of d j vu with this company,

because Steve and Sue you h`ve worked together before,

you've worked with Barrie bdfore, Steve, and you've done

the play before haven't you, Sue?

I did the play in the 80s in the West End, yeah.

And I sent an e-mail to Barrie, saying I'm getting to that `ge now,

where I would really love to do a bit of Shakespeare.

He said, we're not doing Sh`kespeare we're doing When We Are Married

Obviously I'm not playing the maid now, because I'm slightly too old.

I just love working with some fantastic actors.

When I saw Steve on the first day of the rehearsals I asked

Because he wore his comedy teeth in Dinner Ladies.

I haven't had the moon bows. -- heard of moon bows. We have some

air rainbow. Sunlight reflects the moisture, it is on the light of the

moon instead. We had after `ll moon, a harvest Moon on Sunday and I think

these are best captures where there's quite a lot of moisture

near rivers or lakes. Thank you for sending that photograph in. We don't

often capture those. Keep your pictures coming in on the wdbsite

Coastal areas might have thd risk of breezy and conditions. But, the most

of Yorkshire and North Derbxshire we will have some pleasant weather

Cold, misty, potentially frosty mornings, bright by the aftdrnoon.

This clump of cloud caused the downpours. By the end of thd night

it looks like dry, find conditions, quite a court might as well. In the

countryside temperatures down to five or 6 degrees. The mornhng, the

sun rises at 7:42am. So, we will start the day on a cool notd there

will be the odd mist or bug patch but generally a fine start of the

day and plenty of decent we`ther to come tomorrow. -- or bog patch.

Generally you can see a lot of dry, bright weather to be have. Breezy

along the coast and temperatures at little bit higher than in the

valleys. 12 or 13 degrees. 45 Fahrenheit,. Breezy conditions along

the coast, more of the same to come on the weekend. Inland areas, calls

to put fine days. Thank you, I love it when you talk about refr`ction,

it really has an effect on le. We have coming up at 1030. Good evening
