body found earlier this week in Malaysia was that of missing

:00:14.:00:16.

backpacker Gareth Huntley. Hn a statement, his family said there

:00:17.:00:19.

were no words to capture thdir devastation, and no words to

:00:20.:00:22.

describe the void he will ldave in all the lives he touched. Mr Huntley

:00:23.:00:28.

from Leeds went missing on 27 May. On Wednesday, a body was fotnd near

:00:29.:00:33.

a storage shed at a local ttrtle project on Tioman Island whdre he

:00:34.:00:37.

was a volunteer. Earlier today, I spoke to our correspondent who is in

:00:38.:00:43.

the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. I asked her for details of the

:00:44.:00:46.

latest developments. The Malaysian police chief has said

:00:47.:00:51.

that they have confirmed thd body they found on Wednesday is Lr

Huntley. His body was found not deep in the jungle or anywhere ndar the

:00:56.:01:01.

trek where he was headed towards the waterfall on 27 May, but was in fact

:01:02.:01:08.

only a few steps away from where rescue workers had been looking for

:01:09.:01:13.

the last few days. They werd not able to find it until Wednesday

:01:23.:01:33.

We still have no confirmation yet as to what the cause of death hs. Is

They were not able to find ht until Wednesday.

:01:38.:01:42.

said the initial toxicology report has not shown up in the cause of

:01:43.:01:45.

death, so they need to investigate further. For now, the familx seems

:01:46.:01:49.

to have to stay in Malaysia for a little while longer until they can

:01:50.:01:52.

determine that. You can imagine what a tough time it is now for the

:01:53.:01:56.

family. A lot of them had flown in from the UK. Close friends from

:01:57.:02:00.

around the world came to be closer to the search effort. Mr Huntley was

:02:01.:02:04.

For now, the family seems to have to stay in

:02:05.:02:07.

Island ended very badly. We just need to know why at this molent in

Samuel Smith who is 29 and from Castleford was charged with

:02:35.:02:38.

six offences of sexual assatlt on a girl under the age of 03.

:02:39.:02:41.

He has also been charged Mr Huntley was certainly

Firefighters who have been tackling a blaze at a wood recycling plant

:02:45.:02:49.

since Monday say they are lhkely to remain there for days to cole.

:02:50.:02:53.

The fire at Crow Edge near Penistone sent smoke billowing across

:02:54.:02:56.

South Yorkshire and the smell as far as 30 miles away.

:02:57.:02:59.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say they are working

:03:00.:03:01.

closely with the Environment Agency and using special machinery to try

:03:02.:03:04.

5,000 members of the Women's Institute descended on Yorkshire

:03:05.:03:08.

He will appear at Leeds Crown Court on 20 June.

:03:09.:03:14.

Former poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion was one

:03:15.:03:17.

He told Look North that addressing such a huge audience was not as

:03:18.:03:22.

It puts pressure on you not to make some sort of mistake

:03:23.:03:30.

because you know your mistake is going to be multiplied 5,000 times.

:03:31.:03:33.

At the same time, it is oddly liberating, acttally,

:03:34.:03:36.

I felt very delighted by it for all sorts of reasons.

:03:37.:03:47.

On to sport now, and in rugby league Castleford Tigers

:03:48.:03:50.

They faced Wigan in this afternoon's quarter final tie. They put

:03:51.:03:54.

in a tremendous performance to beat the Warriors 16 points to four.

:03:55.:03:57.

Castleford put the tie beyond Wigan with a try three minutes

:03:58.:04:00.

Leeds Rhinos will join them in tomorrow's semifinal draw,

:04:01.:04:04.

as will Bradford if they can overcome Warrington

:04:05.:04:32.

The Met Office issued a severe weather warning for today

:04:33.:04:35.

and there were certainly sole heavy downpours across Yorkshire.

:04:36.:04:37.

This was Leeds city centre this afternoon.

:04:38.:04:39.

Through this evening, there will be some spells of sunshine.

:04:40.:04:44.

All parts will become dry as we head overnight.

:04:45.:04:46.

We are going to see dry conditions with variable cloud and it hs going

:04:47.:04:50.

Temperatures on the whole down to 12 or 13 degrees.

:04:51.:04:54.

Perhaps single figures throtgh the Vale of York.

:04:55.:04:56.

Tomorrow will be dry and brhght with lovely spells of sunshhne.

:04:57.:04:59.

Some of those will be on the sharp side.

:05:00.:05:03.

Good evening. Most of us have seen some rain so far today. It started

:05:04.:05:19.

off in the south. As it worked its way north, we lost the thunder and

:05:20.:05:24.

the lightning. Many of us ended the day on a decent note. After a decent

:05:25.:05:29.

day in the north of Scotland, that band of rain marches northwards Be

:05:30.:05:35.

hiengd it, there is a -- behind it, there is a lot of dry weather to be

:05:36.:05:40.

found. Most of us are dry by the end of the night and relatively mild.

:05:41.:05:46.

Starting Sunday in Scotland, still some showers around in the south and

:05:47.:05:49.

the west. I suspect the north and the east are getting off to a decent

:05:50.:05:53.

start to the day. The North West, there may be a bit more cloud.

:05:54.:05:57.

Northern Ireland doing quite well through the morning. Across Wales,

:05:58.:06:00.

the South West, it might be a bit cloudy, but it is essentially a dry

:06:01.:06:03.

start. The
