:00:12. > :00:13.one, as police forces in Yorkshire deal with 30 missing
:00:14. > :00:17.We'll ask why the number of cases is increasing in our region.
:00:18. > :00:19.Also tonight - a hospital apologises to the parents
:00:20. > :00:37.of a baby who was stillborn following a series of failings.
:00:38. > :00:39.Can companies be persuaded to go for youth as they're offered

:00:58. > :01:07.And to come join me later for the detailed outlook.
:01:08. > :01:10.New research by BBC Yorkshire has revealed 30 people are reported
:01:11. > :01:17.The majority of police forces in our area have seen an increase
:01:18. > :01:20.in the number of calls about missing people - and many have
:01:21. > :01:24.Our data journalist David Rhodes has been looking
:01:25. > :01:29.This is a hugely emotive issue for those still
:01:30. > :01:33.What the figures show is that our three police forces
:01:34. > :01:37.received over nineteen and half thousand calls last year
:01:38. > :01:42.about missing people, that's a rise of twenty six percent
:01:43. > :01:49.Now those calls related to nearly eleven
:01:50. > :01:51.thousand missing individuals, which means that everyday last year thirty
:01:52. > :01:53.people were reported to the police as being missing.
:01:54. > :01:56.For those still searching for a loved one, the effects
:01:57. > :02:03.Margaret Cooper is still searching for her son, Steven,
:02:04. > :02:06.nine years on after he disappeared from his home in Huddersfield
:02:07. > :02:10.We all got in cars and went off and looked for him,
:02:11. > :02:15.In the meantime we called the police and they put out an alert for him.
:02:16. > :02:41.Steven was last seen in Scotland - officers from Yorkshire
:02:42. > :02:43.searched Loch Laggan, but he's never been found.
:02:44. > :02:49.If you've got a body, because he's died, you can
:02:50. > :02:52.have a grave or whatever and you can put flowers there
:02:53. > :02:55.When you've no idea what's happened to them,
:02:56. > :02:57.there's just nothing, you are in limbo.
:02:58. > :02:59.Every day, teams like this at Halifax police station
:03:00. > :03:02.Officers are currently searching for Craig Alderson, who went missing
:03:03. > :03:08.We've done extensive CCTV enquiries in the area and we do
:03:09. > :03:13.We know his movements around about 10.45 to 11pm on the 20th.
:03:14. > :03:18.We are still actively looking for Craig.
:03:19. > :03:20.Hence we are appealing for further information today.
:03:21. > :03:23.Yorkshire's police force has spent over ?20 million dealing
:03:24. > :03:26.specifically with the issue of missing people last year,
:03:27. > :03:31.I think the general public are more aware around people going missing,
:03:32. > :03:35.I think our recording practices have improved, which again will account
:03:36. > :03:38.for a rise in the numbers that we are recording.
:03:39. > :03:41.For those families left behind, there are only memories
:03:42. > :03:53.to cling to and questions that remain unanswered.
:03:54. > :03:56.Susannah Drury is from the Missing People charity.
:03:57. > :04:02.Why does she think there's been an increase in the number of people
:04:03. > :04:11.You're right to point out that the number being reported
:04:12. > :04:14.is going up and the recording numbers are going up as well.
:04:15. > :04:16.That is really positive news we think because it means
:04:17. > :04:19.that the police are looking for more missing people and helping
:04:20. > :04:23.So that is one of the reasons why the numbers are increasing
:04:24. > :04:27.but we also think that there could be a link to cuts in public
:04:28. > :04:30.services as well which may mean that people aren't getting the support
:04:31. > :04:33.they need so they are ending up in crisis and feel they have no
:04:34. > :04:37.We think that this particularly an issue potentially with people
:04:38. > :04:44.Is that the main reason why people go missing,
:04:45. > :04:51.It is the main reason why adults go missing, yes.
:04:52. > :04:55.Some research that we have seen has shown that up to eight in ten adults
:04:56. > :04:58.who go missing have a mental health issue but there are lots
:04:59. > :05:00.of other reasons why people go missing as well.
:05:01. > :05:02.For adults, dementia, relationship breakdowns are also
:05:03. > :05:04.common causes are people going missing and for children,
:05:05. > :05:07.the most common reason why they go missing is because they are facing
:05:08. > :05:20.abuse or conflict or neglect at home.
:05:21. > :05:22.A lot of quite serious issues there that you say why
:05:23. > :05:26.We know that over 40% of missing people have gone missing before
:05:27. > :05:29.so is enough being done to stop them repeating that habit?
:05:30. > :05:37.We know that all children who come back from being missing should be
:05:38. > :05:40.offered something called a return interview which is a chance
:05:41. > :05:42.to speak to a professional about why they went missing,
:05:43. > :05:45.what happened while they were away and what help they need to prevent
:05:46. > :05:51.We think that that is really important and sadly is not happening
:05:52. > :05:57.For adults, there is very little support when they return
:05:58. > :06:00.and we think that adults should have the same opportunities
:06:01. > :06:09.That support that you are saying people should get when they do
:06:10. > :06:12.return home, who should be offering that support?
:06:13. > :06:14.At the charity Missing People, we provide that support for children
:06:15. > :06:17.in areas around the country and we are just starting the first
:06:18. > :06:20.pilot in England we are aware of return interviews for adults
:06:21. > :06:22.and we will see what the results of that are.
:06:23. > :06:24.We're feeling very positive about the impact that has.
:06:25. > :06:26.Other charities and organisations like Missing People also provide
:06:27. > :06:29.that support and we think there is real value in having
:06:30. > :06:31.an independent professional providing that return interview
:06:32. > :06:37.because often people are a bit nervous of statutory services
:06:38. > :06:40.and having someone independent who can offer a more confidential
:06:41. > :06:44.space to talk and a safe space to talk can often be a way to make
:06:45. > :06:46.sure that that person opens up and does talk about what is
:06:47. > :07:06.A West Yorkshire couple have spoken of their heartbreak after their baby
:07:07. > :07:09.boy was stillborn following a series of failings at Pinderfields
:07:10. > :07:12.The Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust has agreed an out of court settlement
:07:13. > :07:15.and made changes to the care it provides after the death

:07:36. > :07:36.Pinderfields Hospital admitted failings and Oliver's
:07:37. > :07:50.Because if I felt angry then it would eat me up.
:07:51. > :07:54.When things should have been done differently,
:07:55. > :08:01.you feel like as a father you should have stepped in a bit.
:08:02. > :08:07.Leigh had been admitted to hospital at four o'clock in the afternoon.
:08:08. > :08:11.Her baby wasn't moving much so his heart rate was monitored.
:08:12. > :08:15.The results were a concern so at five o'clock, Leigh was sent
:08:16. > :08:18.to the labour ward without her notes and without the result
:08:19. > :08:25.At 6:40pm it was decided a Caesarean section was needed but it was not
:08:26. > :08:33.The section took place at 7.28pm but it was too late.
:08:34. > :08:37.We weren't expecting to not hear a sound, were we?
:08:38. > :08:44.And they tried for about 15 minutes to bring him
:08:45. > :08:46.round but they couldn't even do that.
:08:47. > :08:48.In a statement, the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust
:08:49. > :08:51.offered their deepest condolences and sympathy to the family.
:08:52. > :08:55.They say their own investigation recognised there were significant
:08:56. > :08:58.failings and a number of changes have now been implemented to improve
:08:59. > :09:05.After Oliver's parents instructed solicitors, an out-of-court
:09:06. > :09:10.Now they hope that by telling their story,
:09:11. > :09:14.they may help to prevent another family going through heartache.
:09:15. > :09:17.The main thing to make people aware is of their movements.
:09:18. > :09:20.If you are worried, gets checked out.
:09:21. > :09:23.Your baby is trying to tell you that they are not well.
:09:24. > :09:29.Because it will always stay with me that if I had stood my ground
:09:30. > :09:33.and said I want scanning and put on a monitor earlier then things
:09:34. > :09:38.might have been different and I will have to live with that.
:09:39. > :09:42.Different decisions that would have been made could have

:24:56. > :25:01.Huddersfield town offered ?1000 for me to be one of their shops but
:25:02. > :25:06.frankly it was only for 30 seconds but we had a fantastic night. May I
:25:07. > :25:12.reassure all Bradford City fans of that is now down at the local jumble
:25:13. > :25:20.sale. I'm definitely not wearing it in bed. We raised ?40,000 last

:25:27. > :25:35.beautiful view and you can see Castle Hill there, a lovely sky and
:25:36. > :25:41.the second picture looking very nice with plenty of sunshine. Tomorrow
:25:42. > :25:48.looks milder with a fantastic day across Yorkshire, 12 or 13 degrees,
:25:49. > :25:51.dry and mild with sunny spells. The weather front will bring quite a bit
:25:52. > :25:57.of rain of mates moving very quickly and it is out of the way at first
:25:58. > :26:01.light Wednesday morning and not in west Yorkshire what's of sunshine,
:26:02. > :26:05.it might be hazy South Yorkshire with more cloud across the Midlands
:26:06. > :26:10.but a nice day with quite male deer and get out and about if you can.
:26:11. > :26:14.Departures of 10 degrees today, that is the cloud associated with that
:26:15. > :26:16.Atlantic weather front which will be dry for the next couple of hours but
:26:17. > :26:20.it would be long before the rain victims under the Pennines and the
:26:21. > :26:25.late evening and he wits and he witnessed developing with mist and
:26:26. > :26:28.fog and moving fairly quickly but at five o'clock tomorrow morning there
:26:29. > :26:34.will be some rural cloud and mist and places. Low-temperature is
:26:35. > :26:45.around four or 5 degrees. Quite a windy night with fresh south-west. A
:26:46. > :26:51.lovely start across North Yorkshire tomorrow with some cloud moving away
:26:52. > :26:54.southwards pretty quickly and then it is a really lovely almost
:26:55. > :26:58.springlike day with plenty of sunshine developing as we head
:26:59. > :27:04.through the course of the afternoon. That fresh south-westerly wind will
:27:05. > :27:08.have eased and let's have a look at the very respectable early March
:27:09. > :27:15.temperatures of around 11 or 12 across Yorkshire with one or two
:27:16. > :27:18.spots perhaps 13, a little bit of strength in the March sunshine.
:27:19. > :27:22.Thursday is looking pretty good as well with the odd shower across the
:27:23. > :27:26.Pennines and otherwise dry with some sunshine. More cloud on Friday but
