You've got your big idea, but frankly are pretty clueless about the actual process of starting your own business.

Statistics suggest a growing number of people aged 16-24 are choosing to work for themselves - the figure has almost doubled since 2001.

That includes people like 21-year-old Adam Ali from Huddersfield:

Adam says he wanted to start his business, Digisee in Huddersfield, because he didn't want to work for anyone else.

"I've been rejected from so many jobs, that I believe I can do better, and I can do it better by doing it myself," he tells Newsbeat.

Adam got involved with a scheme which is run by Dragons' Den star Peter Jones.

The Peter Jones Foundation, external is a charity which helps budding entrepreneurs learn about the basics of business.

Adam pitched his idea and went on to win the National Entrepreneur of the Year - that meant £5,000 prize money and a place to study enterprise at university.

"If you have an idea, a passion," says Adam, "the best thing to do is go for it!"

Orgreave Trust and Justice Campaign (OTJC) travelled to London today to hand over the letter.

In 2016, former Home Secretary Amber Rudd ruled against an inquiry into the events during the 1984 miners' strike.

Kate Flannery, OTJC secretary, said some documents that had been released highlighted "active government involvement" in the miners' strike.

"That's why it's vital that we have an inquiry to ensure we have a thorough and authoritative review, and to be able to access everything relevant," she said.

Abi Weigold (pictured second from the right), from Norton in Sheffield, was given a gold medal at a ceremony in London last night after she saved a man who was being violently beaten by a group of men.

Abi stood between an armed man, who had been stabbed, and a group of men who were trying to attack him for about 20 minutes.

The man then ran inside her house and was bleeding profusely.

Sitting in the same room as him she still managed to call the police, who arrived a short time later and arrested the man.

Channel 4 have announced their new national headquarters will be in Leeds, with the broadcaster calling it "extremely well-positioned".

Channel 4 said Leeds put forward an "ambitious strategy" to support growth in the creative industries and "to nurture new talent from diverse backgrounds - in the region and across the UK".

A statement said: "Locating the national HQ in Leeds will enable Channel 4 to capitalise on a strong and fast-growing independent production sector across the north of England - and further unlock the potential for growth in the underserved east and north-east of England.

"It is extremely well-positioned to be a base for collaboration with producers and creative talent across other cities including Bradford, Hull, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield."

Students at the University of Huddersfield say their chancellor, Prince Andrew, should stand down after his "blasé attitude" towards the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

In a blistering statement released today, Huddersfield Labour Students (HLS) said comments made by the Duke of York during a recent trip to Saudi Arabia were "incredibly insensitive and inflammatory".

If he doesn't step down they have called for the support of the Students' Union "in removing this individual from his position of power within the university".

In response, the University of Huddersfield Conservative Association said the Duke's comments "were poorly timed," but that it was not appropriate for HLS to call for his resignation.

The move comes after the Duke spoke at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi last Thursday and made no reference to Mr Khashoggi.

Councillor Judith Blake said "We are thrilled that Channel 4 have chosen Leeds to be home to its national headquarters and we know this is a great fit for both the city and the broadcaster.

“Leeds offers a home in the heart of the UK and the North, with strong links to screen, and a constantly evolving creative sector with huge ambitions to be even greater in the next few years and beyond."

The broadcaster is due to move 200 of it's 800 staff to West Yorkshire next year.

A campaign for a new railway line to be built between Hornsea and Beverley has been launched.

There used to be a railway route between Hornsea and Hull, but it was abolished more than 50 years ago.

Campaigners are now calling for transport bosses to look at building a new line from Hornsea Freeport to Beverley.

Shaun Quinn started the campaign.

He said: "This won't be cheap, but I think it would be worth it and would bring a lot of money into the area."

Transport for the North say it would consider any proposals put forward by members, subject to a business case and funding being available.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council says the construction cost would be well into the hundreds of millions of pounds and would outweigh the benefits to local people.

The stink surrounding Springhead Park in Rothwell has been reported to the Environment Agency, who has investigated.

It concluded that some homeowners on a nearby housing estate may have connected toilets, washing machines and dishwashers into the surface water drain rather than the sewer.

It believes waste water from those household items has been flowing into drains and causing the unpleasant smell.

It also points out that the waste water poses a risk to wildlife.

Leeds has seen off competition from Greater Manchester and Birmingham to be named as the home for Channel 4's new national HQ.
