MP David Davis says he's disappointed to learn BAE systems are considering redundancies among the staff at Brough.

The BAE site in the town falls within the Haltemprice and Howden's constituency.

Mr Davis says BAE has an obligation to the community as it is a significant employer in the region and adds that the government will be working with them and the trade unions to mitigate the impact of the proposed job losses.

Mr Davis says he will be speaking to ministers about the proposed redundancies later today.

We've been getting more details on the people who tried to climb the Humber Bridge this morning.

Three teenage boys tried to get on to the cables from the centre of the bridge at around 07:15.

When they failed they then tried to get onto the cable again from the southbound anchorage point but were unable to get around the security fencing.

One of the northbound carriageways was closed until the situation was resolved, which cause traffic to back up.

The Humber Bridge's maintenance team caught them and stayed with them till the police arrived.

There are warnings not to climb the cables because it puts lives at risk and causes a huge amount of disruption to bridge users.

Hull and East Yorkshire's off-shore wind industry will put this area at the center of economic growth and it's that which will make us the power in the northern powerhouse in years to come.

It's as a big debate is happening today which could transfer power on issues like employment and transport from Westminster to Yorkshire.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council says it will work closely with BAE systems in Brough to do all it can to help support the people affected by today's announced redundancies.

Can you help solve a mystery? Do you know anything about an inscription on a boat reading "Joseph and Fanny GY 941"?

Image source, Kari Christensen

The inscription is from the stern of a boat which was incorporated into a house in Norway about 70 years ago, but was only recently rediscovered by Kari Christensen during renovations of her family-built home:

It's emerged that the stern was part of a trawler built in Plymouth by W.F. Moore in 1874 by instruction of a Joseph Wilkinson of Hull.

It was later sold on to a George Middleton of Levington Street, Grimsby in 1884, and now Ms Christensen says she'd like to find out more about its origins.
