    Highways England has today told senior Hull politicians the A63 Castle Street improvement scheme won't be completed until 2025.

    The initial announcement for the scheme suggested work on a new road junction would start in 2015.

    The plan is to lower the road into a cutting at Mytongate Junction so Ferensway and Commercial Road can pass over it.

    It was initially hoped at least one pedestrian bridge, linking the city's Marina and centre, would be finished in time for the UK City of Culture year.

    A woman who died after collapsing in a court building was in "a potentially survivable situation", a coroner has said.

    A pre-inquest review heard a report by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service found the first paramedic on the scene did not "effectively manage the shockable cardiac arrest".

    Hull Coroner Prof Paul Marks said the mother-of-four died from hypertensive heart disease and the report stated she "probably" had a shockable heart rhythm, but this was not addressed by the rapid response vehicle (RRV) paramedic.

    I'm minded that this was a potentially survivable situation"

  10. Calls for Humberside Police to treat misogyny as 'hate crime'published at 14:46 British Summer Time 21 August 2017

    The Grimsby MP Melanie Onn has said misogyny should be treated as a hate crime.

    Verbal harassment on the streets and unwanted physical attention have contributed to a rise in sexual offences in North East Lincolnshire since 2009.

    Last year, Nottinghamshire Police was the first force in the UK to record misogynistic incidents.

    Andy McDyer from Humberside Police says they will look for guidance nationally about this subject, but they take all reports very seriously.

  17. Partial solar eclipse: What can we see in Yorkshire?published at 11:37 British Summer Time 21 August 2017

    Nick Wilmshurst
    BBC Yorkshire Live

    Later on this evening a partial solar eclipse will occur, but what will we see in Yorkshire?

    People in the US are very excited about it because they'll see a full eclipse, but owing to our position on the planet we'll only see a bit of one - or partial as scientists say.

    EclipseImage source, Getty Images

    It's a special one in the States because it is the first total solar eclipse to make landfall exclusively in the US since independence in 1776.

    But away from the stargazers across the Atlantic, we might be thwarted in our attempts to witness an astrological marvel down to our old friends - the clouds.

    It looks set to be very cloudy across Yorkshire at the time we could catch a glimpse of the eclipse, which will happen at 20:00 this evening.

    But who knows, we might have one of those sunsets where the sun dips below the clouds and we're treated to an amazing solar spectacle.

    Sunset tonight is at 20:22 so as the sun heads to the horizon we may get lucky. But hold your horses, there are a few things you need to do before you gaze skywards.

    Special glasses

    What is a partial eclipse of the sun?

    A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but they're not exactly in line. Instead, the Moon only partly covers the Sun. In a total solar eclipse, places not directly under the path of the moon's shadow will see a partial solar eclipse.

    What you need to do to see it safely?

    Seeing an eclipse can be dangerous without the right precautions, normal sunglasses are no good you'll need to wear a special pair of eclipse glasses or follow one of these top-tips.

    But it's safe to say watching through telescopes, binoculars and cameras is very risky and should be avoided. One way to safely view it is by making a pinhole camera.

    I'm washing my hair tonight, when's the next one?

    The next partial eclipse will be in 2021, but the next total eclipse in the UK will be on 23 September... 2090. Plenty of time to get started on the pinhole camera.

    Quote Message

    You should never look directly at the sun during a total or partial eclipse. This is because the radiation emitted by the sun is so powerful it may cause long-term harm to the retina."
