The latest headlines from across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire this afternoon include: 

• A go-slow protest by taxi drivers in Hull takes place over changes to a city centre road layout
• An East Riding health visitor tells the BBC she's concerned babies and young children could be left vulnerable after cuts to the council's health budget
• A man in his 60s is taken to hospital with serious injuries after a collision on the A164 at Leconfield

Grimsby's Labour MP Melanie Onn is one of 73 MPs who have called for Donald Trump to be banned from addressing Parliament on a state visit to the UK.

The MPs - mostly Labour - say any invitation should be withdrawn in protest at the President's decision to introduce travel bans in the United States on a number of mainly Muslim countries, his call for the reintroduction of torture, and his comments on women.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan have previously addressed MPs and peers in Westminster Hall during visits to the UK.

A man found with serious injuries in Hull last week remains in a critical but stable condition at the city's Royal Infirmary.

The man was found on Anlaby Road on 25 January, and it's thought he came by his injuries in the same area.

However, police say they're still trying to establish exactly what happened to him, though initial enquiries suggest the incident is not believed to be suspicious.

Detectives are "particularly keen" to speak to two men in a car which stopped and asked a man helping the injured man if they could also help out.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact police, external.

Award-winning actress Sheridan Smith, from Epworth in North Lincolnshire, says she's struck up a friendship with one of the women who led the search for abducted schoolgirl Shannon Matthews.

Shannon disappeared from her home in Dewsbury Moor, West Yorkshire, for more than three weeks in February 2008. 

Her mother, Karen, was later jailed for eight years for her part in the abduction.

Julie Bushby stood side-by-side with Matthews before police discovered Shannon's kidnapping.

Sheridan Smith plays Ms Bushby in a new BBC drama about the case which starts next week, and the actress says she now counts her among her friends.

The Supreme Court is to rule today on the case of Jon Platt (pictured) who successfully challenged a fine issued for taking his daughter out of school for a family holiday.

His case is being closely watched by a couple from Cleethorpes who're being taken to court over a similar issue.

Samantha and Ross Woodland took their son out of school last June for eight days and are due to appear before magistrates on Friday.

Over one million people have signed a petition to stop US President Donald Trump from coming to this country on a state visit.

Meanwhile, a rival pro-visit petition has more than 70,000.

But is banning him from coming over on a full state visit really the answer?

I've been asking people that very question in Hull this morning:

What's your view? Have your say here.

Taxi drivers in Hull are getting ready to loop the city in protest at the right turn out of the station taxi rank on Ferensway not being reintroduced after changes to the road layout.

The city's Hackney Carriage Association says this increases traffic congestion and journey times.

But Hull City council says the changes have improved safety and cut congestion.

Motorists are being advised to avoid Hull city centre between 11:00 and 13:00 if possible.

I've been at Lonsdale Community Centre in Hull this morning where they're helping tackle loneliness with a sewing group called Sew It All.

Age UK in Hull told Lizzie and Carl on BBC Radio Humberside this morning that loneliness can be harmful to health, but that a simple smile or a chat can often help.

A new campaign to find new ways of tackling the problem is being launched today in memory of the late Yorkshire MP Jo Cox who worked a lot on the issue before her death.
