  6. Maintenance work begins on bridge at Tickton

    Renovation work begins on the River Hull road bridge on the A1035 at Tickton today.

    The work is expected to last 10 months.

    Work is beginning to replace bearings underneath the concrete support beams.

    The council says it aims to minimise disruption to traffic but there may be occasions this will be difficult.

  7. One in four have faced sexual harassment at work

    A BBC survey suggests one in four people in Yorkshire and the Humber have faced sexual harassment in the workplace.

    It also found self-employed workers, or those on zero hours contracts, are more likely to experience it.

    Hull solicitor Nathalie Stewart says many people are still too afraid to report harassment out of fear of attracting unwanted attention.

    Somebody who makes it is very worried about being accused of lying or profiteering, or worst case being thought that they've asked for it in some way.

  8. Deadline day for steelworkers in Scunthorpe on pension scheme

    Today is the last day that former and current British Steel workers in Scunthorpe can decide between two pension schemes.

    The original retirement fund is being replaced by two new ones - to help secure the future of the business.

    Pensioners must choose between a scheme run by the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) and an alternative backed by former steelworks owners Tata Steel UK.

    Both schemes are less generous than before.

    Nic Dakin, Labour MP for Scunthorpe, says the choice is far from ideal, but it's about making the best of a bad situation.

  9. Regions divided over Christmas costs

    James Graham
    Journalist, BBC Radio5live

    People in less affluent parts of the country spend more as a proportion of their income on Christmas, analysis by the BBC indicates.

    Graph

    The North East, West Midlands, Northern Ireland and Yorkshire and the Humber region spend 25% of a month's disposable income.

    But in London and the South East, that falls to below 20%.

    The analysis by BBC 5 live's Wake up to Money matched official regional income figures with Centre for Retail Research spending forecasts for Christmas.

    Separate figures from YouGov show wealthier people are cutting back on Christmas and plan to spend less on gifts this year, down 8%, at £300, compared to £291 for lower earners, up 4%.
