  4. Listen: Ings Estate in Hull described as a 'warzone'published at 11:15 British Summer Time 4 April 2017

    BBC Radio Humberside

    A Hull man says the Ings Estate in Hull is turning into a "warzone" following the latest arson attack there.

    Six properties were burned to the ground on Friday night, and police believe the blaze was started deliberately. 

    Sam Harrison, who lives on the estate, says despite the ongoing regeneration work, the area is becoming an eyesore and it's "embarassing":

    Police say they are working closely with Hull City Council and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service to deal with arson attacks in the area.

    Quote Message

    People who are committing these offences are putting themselves in grave danger, they're putting people in the community in grave danger, and they're putting the emergency services workers who have to come and deal with this in a lot of danger as well."

    A 65-year-old East Yorkshire cancer survivor is training for a staggering nine-week cycle ride to visit 35 cancer units across the UK.

    Cycle lane

    During the bleakest times of his three-year illness, what kept Paul Whymant from Beverley going was poetry and, when fit enough, cycling. 

    Now, he's combining the two interests to take one of his poems, Red Leather, Yellow Feather to other cancer units and spreading the sense of positivity he says it inspired in him. 

    He's also plans to compile an anthology of poetry by cancer sufferers, all raising money for Macmillan Cancer Research.   

    Paul's ride sets off from Tickton Grange in Beverley on May Day and he plans to pedal 1,500 miles on a route through Yorkshire, the Midlands, East Anglia, London, the South Coast, West Country, North West, North East and Scotland to deliver and read his poem at each location. 

  6. Modern day slavery on the increase in our regionpublished at 10:26 British Summer Time 4 April 2017

    An investigation by the BBC shows a 17% increase in the number of potential victims of human trafficking in Yorkshire. 

    In 2016, there were over 300 people suspected to have been affected. 

    Despite laws being introduced to tackle the issue, the Home Office estimates there are up to 13,000 victims of modern slavery in the country.

    Quote Message

    Quite often we find that modern day slaves are here legally in the UK. We anticipate at any given time in Hull we have got about 200-250, and that is replicated across the Humber."

    The RSPCA could close in Hull if they can't raise enough money to upgrade their facilities.

    The charity needs £1m to rebuild their kennels and new animal care blocks on Clough Road, which looks after animals who have been mistreated.

    It would mean huge numbers of dogs, cats and ferrets could be left without a home.

    They say their current animal accommodation doesn't meet the current RSPCA welfare standards:
