There's been a major development in the search for missing Ben Needham as the Home Office announces it's to fund all further investigations. It follows years of pleas from the family for help from the British Government after the toddler, from Sheffield, went missing 24 years ago on the Greek island of Kos.
Kerry Needham's battle to find her son has stretched over two decades since his disappearance in July 1991 from the island of Kos.
He vanished while his grandfather Eddie Needham was renovating a farmhouse.
There has been no sight of him since - but there have been witnesses who have placed a blonde blue-eyed boy matching his description in the care of a Greek family.
All eight of them were named in a dossier handed to South Yorkshire Police by the Needham family last year.
Kerry and her family want leads like this investigated, with co-operation from the Greek authorities.
The case of Madeleine McCann, who disappeared from Portugal in 2007, has drawn comparisons to Ben's case.
But the Needhams have always thought there was a disparity in the Government support for them.
The Home Office has funded the search for Madeleine to the tune of about £8 million after the personal intervention of Prime Minister David Cameron.
In 2012, a Home Office grant allowed the excavation of the farmhouse from where Ben went missing.
Teams including sniffer dog handlers, ground-penetrating radar operators and volunteers from Greek search and rescue failed to find any trace of Ben, whose 25th birthday was last October.
There has been a vociferous social media campaign to back the family's plea for Government help
The police team, headed by Detective Superintendent Matt Fenwick, who was in charge of the operation in Kos, is due to start work in April.
For Ben's mother, the knowledge her son's case no longer has to be financed and supported solely by her family comes as a relief - but there is still anger it has taken so long to get Government support.
At around 11pm on Friday night police were called to Darley Avenue in Athersley to reports that a man had been stabbed.
