:00:10. > :00:12.from West Yorkshire who has been missing for a week.

:00:13. > :00:15.We have the latest from the island where the hunt continues.

:00:16. > :00:17.Gearing up with the latest technology.

:00:18. > :00:19.The body cameras for Yorkshire officers aimed

:00:20. > :00:25.And were the recognisable tin hats of world

:00:26. > :00:40.The unsettled weather looks set to continue with quite a bit of rain on

:00:41. > :00:47.the card for Wednesday. Join me for the five`day forecast!

:00:48. > :00:50.Malaysian authorities have narrowed their search for a backpacker

:00:51. > :00:57.from West Yorkshire who has been missing for a week.

:00:58. > :01:11.Gareth Huntley hasn't been seen since he set off

:01:12. > :01:15.on his own to visit a waterfall in a jungle on Tioman Island

:01:16. > :01:18.Colleagues from a turtle conservation project

:01:19. > :01:21.where he was volunteering raised the alarm when he failed to return.

:01:22. > :01:24.Rescuers spent the day searching a smaller area

:01:25. > :01:28.In a moment, we will get the latest from our reporter on the island.

:01:29. > :01:31.But first Ian White has our top story.

:01:32. > :01:35.Gareth Huntley has been missing from more than a week. There is still no

:01:36. > :01:37.sign of an. The 34`year`old was on the Malaysia and Tioman Island

:01:38. > :01:39.volunteering with a turtle conservation project. He went

:01:40. > :01:41.trekking alone in the jungle to see a waterfall, but never return.

:01:42. > :01:44.Yesterday, his mother said she believed her son was still alive and

:01:45. > :01:48.retraced some of the writ he is thought to have taken. We wanted to

:01:49. > :01:53.go to the last place that we knew he had been. We wanted to visualise it

:01:54. > :01:57.and get a feeling for what he had seen, how he might have been

:01:58. > :02:04.feeling, just to get the bigger picture. The search for Gareth has

:02:05. > :02:11.gradually been searched up after `` stepped up after the family

:02:12. > :02:18.criticised the police. He has made it up to the waterfall in good time

:02:19. > :02:27.and has decided he has time to explore the start of the river. The

:02:28. > :02:32.pathway works quite defined. Rescuers are working on this theory

:02:33. > :02:39.and have now reduced the search area. We went up the ethical route.

:02:40. > :02:42.There were some boulders in place. It was not terribly difficult.

:02:43. > :02:48.Gareth would have had no problem with that. He is quite experienced

:02:49. > :02:53.at walking. Low`grade mountain climbing, I would say. Prime

:02:54. > :02:58.Minister and the Foreign Office have thanked the Malaysian authorities

:02:59. > :02:59.for their work so far. Family and friends back home in Yorkshire wait

:03:00. > :03:01.anxiously for news. We caught up with

:03:02. > :03:03.our correspondent Jennifer Pak at the end of the day's search

:03:04. > :03:20.and asked her how it was going. Malaysian authorities say they have

:03:21. > :03:23.a smaller team searching in a area today because they have said

:03:24. > :03:28.they have found some clues. Now, what clues exactly,

:03:29. > :03:30.they did not reveal to us. Throughout the day,

:03:31. > :03:33.we have heard helicopters hovering The biggest challenge the

:03:34. > :03:44.authorities say they have is the fact that the island is covered in

:03:45. > :03:47.steep hills and dense jungle, making it extremely difficult to locate him

:03:48. > :03:50.one`week after he disappeared. The family have accused

:03:51. > :03:53.the police of being slow to react. Is the feeling now that the police

:03:54. > :03:56.are taking this more seriously? The family have said that

:03:57. > :04:00.when they were in the UK they got They were not sure what

:04:01. > :04:03.Malaysian authorities were doing. Because of where he was staying,

:04:04. > :04:08.not everyone was registered where Authorities informed

:04:09. > :04:10.the foreign office, but they were not able to contact the families

:04:11. > :04:13.directly, which gives them a sense that perhaps the authorities

:04:14. > :04:16.were not taking it seriously. Contrary to that, authorities

:04:17. > :04:19.here say they have been actively They had been expanding

:04:20. > :04:28.the search for the last few days His mother seems to be optimistic

:04:29. > :04:33.that he will be found safe and well. As the days go by, surely concerns

:04:34. > :04:36.for his safety must grow? In fact, his mother took

:04:37. > :04:49.the same path and retraced her son `` son's steps, believed to be his

:04:50. > :04:53.last steps, before he went missing. She went to the waterfall where he

:04:54. > :04:59.was supposed to be heading towards. It should have taken him two hours

:05:00. > :05:01.to get down. She replaced those steps

:05:02. > :05:05.and said it was difficult, quite emotional, but she needed to do that

:05:06. > :05:09.to see the frame of mind he was in. They believe he may have got lost

:05:10. > :05:13.and perhaps was hurt later on. That is why authorities are

:05:14. > :05:15.still searching for him. They now have a team staying

:05:16. > :05:26.overnight in the jungle, so that it `` they will start their search at

:05:27. > :05:29.7:30am local time. 450 body cameras are being issued to

:05:30. > :05:32.police officers in West Yorkshire as part of a worldwide project

:05:33. > :05:35.which it's hoped can help restore The year`long experiment is being

:05:36. > :05:39.carried out with criminologists Police say they hope it will make

:05:40. > :05:43.their dealings with the public be Our Crime Correspondent has been

:05:44. > :05:46.given exclusive access to Video cameras and helmet

:05:47. > :05:53.cameras find the evidence. Now something new for officers

:05:54. > :05:55.on the street. This PC is ready for his shift

:05:56. > :06:00.today with his new body camera. You use this sliding

:06:01. > :06:06.switch to record. I tell all people present that

:06:07. > :06:09.everything they are saying Once I press stop,

:06:10. > :06:14.I can view back the footage and take it to the police station

:06:15. > :06:21.for evidential purposes. I will put this system to

:06:22. > :06:24.the test and see Everything you're doing

:06:25. > :06:35.and saying is being recorded. I would like to ask you what

:06:36. > :06:55.you're doing in Bradford today. Already been recorded

:06:56. > :06:58.on the body camera, scenes like this This will be a positive

:06:59. > :07:02.contribution to reaffirming our People will see us being wholly

:07:03. > :07:06.transparent and accountable. A similar pilot with the Met Police

:07:07. > :07:09.in London has shown there are Why? Anyone can record anywhere

:07:10. > :07:12.in a public place. This new project will be analysed

:07:13. > :07:16.by experts at Cambridge University before any police forces decide

:07:17. > :07:18.whether to make it permanent. We will be able to tell

:07:19. > :07:21.whether the cameras would increase public confidence and trust

:07:22. > :07:24.in police, or they will do what some people fear which is undermine

:07:25. > :07:31.police regulations. During research,

:07:32. > :07:37.they will be deployed every time In the future, we will evaluate

:07:38. > :07:42.whether it is running constantly It is a good step forward for

:07:43. > :07:50.policing in this region. Police say body cameras should

:09:33. > :09:35.from Leeds have appeared before magistrates charged with sexual

:09:36. > :09:37.offences against a young girl. The men were arrested

:10:59. > :11:02.by the island of Corsica The trophy will be

:11:03. > :11:07.at the city council offices in York until Thursday and then at

:11:08. > :11:16.the Mansion House over the weekend. There is further controversy

:11:17. > :11:17.surrounding Runners have received letters from

:11:18. > :11:21.the organisers, saying they will be The race in April was cancelled

:11:22. > :11:26.at the last minute because Runners were told they couldn't get

:11:27. > :11:31.their money back, but it seems the organisers have had a change of

:11:32. > :11:37.heart, as James Vincent explains. For the organisers of the Sheffield

:11:38. > :11:49.half marathon, it was a bad day. Many of the runners did the 13 miles

:11:50. > :11:53.anyway, despite lack of water. There was no information at

:11:54. > :12:00.the start about why it was delayed. Everyone just went,

:12:01. > :12:34.so we went with it. The organisers have been

:12:35. > :12:36.investigating why there was no Letters sent to runners this week

:12:37. > :12:43.say they can now apply for That money would have to come

:12:44. > :12:47.from charity. It is a choice that has

:12:48. > :12:49.not impressed runners. We want to know that Sheffield will

:12:50. > :12:58.have half marathon this year This is treating

:12:59. > :13:02.people with contempt. This is making a bigger hole

:13:03. > :13:04.for them. No news on whether the half marathon

:13:05. > :13:07.will happen again next year. There are other races in the local

:13:08. > :13:10.area that we can do instead. Sheffield could end up

:13:11. > :13:13.with no half marathon. A big city

:13:14. > :13:15.like this needs a good race. The deadline

:13:16. > :13:17.for refunds is 20th June. Next year's race may depend

:13:18. > :13:20.on how many refunds are given out. We're joined by the West Yorkshire

:13:38. > :13:40.Sheffield Wednesday Chairman Milan Mandarick seems close to finalising

:13:41. > :13:43.a deal to sell the club. Hafiz Mammadov, who is currently

:13:44. > :13:59.the owner of French club RC Lens, is the man behind the attempt to

:14:00. > :14:01.take`over at Hillsborough. BBC Radio Sheffield broke

:14:02. > :14:04.the story earlier today and we're joined now by their reporter

:14:05. > :14:06.Andy Giddings at Hillsborough. What can you tell us about Mammadov

:14:07. > :14:12.and his interest in the Owls? Well, we can tell you that Hafiz

:14:13. > :14:20.Mammadov is an extremely successful businessman in Azerbaijan. He deals

:14:21. > :14:25.in transport and energy. Years a huge football fan. Years been

:14:38. > :14:41.shares in Atletico Madrid, who were recently in the champions league

:14:42. > :14:50.final. Also with portal, the Portuguese giants. Years worth

:14:51. > :14:54.around several hundred million pounds. You won't necessarily be a

:15:13. > :15:17.thrown at the team. He backs his teams with a decent amount of money.

:15:18. > :15:23.What will this mean for Milan Mandarick's involvement with the

:15:24. > :15:27.club? He has not commented yet and neither have the club. This would

:15:28. > :15:35.bring together a successful tenure for Milan Mandarick for him. In

:15:36. > :15:40.2010, the club were in dire straits. He was able to secure a deal to get

:15:41. > :15:46.them moving in the right direction. They were promoted from League one.

:15:47. > :15:49.They had two years at championship level. Na Li have a platform they

:19:30. > :19:32.the World Cup to help police England football supporters.

:19:33. > :19:34.And her tour will last as long as England remains

:19:35. > :19:40.in the competition, so she won't be hoping for a quick exit.

:19:41. > :19:46.Our role is to work with the Brazilian police to basically

:19:47. > :19:54.translate our fans behaviour and the likely impact of policing tactics on

:19:55. > :20:00.our fans. We hear less about hooliganism than in the 1970s. Are

:20:01. > :20:04.we likely to have any problems? Were not expecting any real problems.

:20:05. > :20:08.Over the last couple of tournaments, we have seen no issues with our

:20:09. > :20:12.supporters. This is about making sure our fans don't get in trouble

:20:13. > :20:17.by being in the wrong place and having too much to drink. Also

:20:18. > :20:27.cultural differences. What will the biggest challenges be? Mainly the

:20:28. > :20:32.stigma attached to our supporters is not attached in the minds of the

:20:33. > :20:37.Brazilian police. The majority of people who are going will be there

:20:38. > :20:43.to enjoy some good football. The players are already in training.

:20:44. > :20:48.They are struggling with the heat. We will be in uniform for part of

:20:49. > :20:55.it. We have to grin and bear. It will be like the streets of in the

:20:56. > :21:00.summer. When we spoke earlier, you said the players were a bit soft!

:21:01. > :21:05.Don't quote me on that! Unfortunately, are fortunately, we

:21:06. > :21:11.do not get to see any of the action. We are there to work with the

:21:12. > :21:18.Brazilian police. Any police officer who is a football fan does not want

:21:19. > :21:23.to do this mission. I don't dislike football, but it is not my first

:21:24. > :21:32.choice. I will be concentrating on the job. Presumably fans will see

:21:33. > :21:36.you as a point of liaison? It is reassuring? Yes, it is a big

:21:37. > :21:42.country. There has been a lot of things in the media about high crime

:21:43. > :21:46.rates. We are there to provide reassurance and works with our

:21:47. > :21:50.colleagues in the British consulate and make sure the messages get out

:21:51. > :21:55.so that supporters know they have someone to speak to if they have

:21:56. > :22:01.trouble or need to speak to someone. I am sure the atmosphere out there

:22:02. > :22:06.will be amazing. Enjoy your time. I hope that I won't see you too soon!

:22:19. > :22:26.The original design of the helmet is something

:22:27. > :22:29.of a classic and is usually credited to the entrepreneur John Brodie.

:23:23. > :23:24.These steel hats are quite attractive.

:23:25. > :23:27.Credit for the iconic design, often called a broadly helmet,

:23:35. > :23:37.in the form of businessman Alfred Bates who was based in Halifax.

:23:38. > :23:40.This is where we think he developed the concept.

:23:41. > :23:44.If you put it into Google, you always come up with Brodie. It looks
