  9. Horsemeat sentencing 'sends out strong message' - councilpublished at 17:15 British Summer Time 31 July 2017

    Hull City Council has responded to the sentencing of three men, including one man from Hull, for their role in a conspiracy to sell horsemeat mixed with beef as pure beef.

    Alex Ostler-Beech, 44, from Sutton-on-Hull, has been given an 18-month jail sentence suspended for a year, plus 120 hours community service, for his role in a conspiracy to sell 30 tonnes of horsemeat mixed with beef as pure beef.

    Two other men have also been sentenced to four-and-a-half years and three-and-a-half years for their role.

    Hull City Council says it shows that such cases will be taken seriously and sends out a message to potential fraudsters.

    The authority has also highlighted its own role in the investigation:

    Quote Message

    This investigation was first led by the Food Standards Agency, with Hull City Council Environmental Health and Trading Standards officers investigating the business Flexi-foods Ltd, which had both its registered office and trading office in Hull. The case was subsequently taken over by City of London Police as this complex food fraud investigation involved local authorities across the UK as well as law enforcement agencies throughout Europe."

  12. Watch: Rescue service's warning after Humber Bridge scalingpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time 31 July 2017

    A charity which provides a rescue boat on the Humber Estuary has given its reaction to the news that two more men have scaled the Humber Bridge following a similar climb two months ago.

    The young men tried to climb the top of the bridge, which is 510ft high, with no safety equipment before police sirens stopped their attempt.

    In May, "urban explorers" scaled the structure prompting a security review.

    Martin Rumford, from Humber Rescue, says those involved are very much putting their lives at risk:

    While commentating on England's win in the third test against South Africa at the Oval, I decided to have a bit of fun at the expense of Yorkshire legend Geoffrey Boycott while we were commentating together on Test Match Special.

    Basically me and my other colleagues pretended that we'd seen a press release which states that he didn't get his 100th first class century at Headingley after all!

    Take a look:

    You can listen to ball-by-ball commentary of the final test of the series which begins at Old Trafford on Friday and in-play highlights are available via the BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app.

  17. Humber Bridge scaled for second time in two monthspublished at 14:22 British Summer Time 31 July 2017

    Two men have scaled the Humber Bridge a day before tighter security measures were installed following a previous climb two months ago.

    The young men tried to climb the top of the bridge, which is 510ft high, with no safety equipment, before police sirens stopped their attempt.

    In May, "urban explorers" scaled the structure prompting a security review.

    The Humber Bridge Board said it had completed the security upgrade on Friday, the day after the breach.

    In the latest video, posted by vlogger Jay Swingler, the pair can be seen scaling a barrier and then using suspension wires as handholds before aborting the climb and running to their car.
