A court's heard a man was killed in his room at a mental health unit near Scunthorpe, in between staff visits which took place every 15 minutes.

Jamie Reed, 26, admits killing 60-year-old Robert MacNeill, at Great Oaks (pictured) in the early hours of 16 January but Reed says it was manslaughter by diminished responsibility, and denies murder.

The trial continues.

Richard Bird turned a few pounds into thousands after learning how to spot valuable coins.

He contacted Look North because he says he wants everyone to know how they can do it too:

Plans are underway to open a new secondary school in Hull by September 2019 - probably in an existing building.

The school would be run by the Constellation Trust, which oversees the two Sirius Academies and six primary schools in Hull.

It's expected the school would eventually have around 800 pupils but would open in two years' time with just 150 in Year 7.

Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Trust has confirmed that the cladding used on the Hull Royal Infirmary Tower Block (pictured) is not the same aluminium cladding material which was used on Grenfell Tower.

Samples of the building materials were sent off for testing.
