Good morning, I'm Caroline and I'll be bringing you the latest news, sport, weather and travel updates from across the area throughout the day.

Speaking of the weather, lets hope the sun will break through the clouds today like it did yesterday in Bridlington:

The Conservative MP for York Outer, Julian Sturdy, claims it would ease congestion in York city centre and open up economic development and housing opportunities.

The call comes after the government announced a new rail strategy which included reopening some lines.

The last train on the York to Beverley line ran on the evening of November 27, 1965.

It was one of many across the country that, in the 1960s, fell victim to the Beeching cuts.

That's all from me today but I'll be back tomorrow morning from 08:00.

Meanwhile, breaking news, sport and travel updates will continue here through the evening.

Before I go, let's have a look at five things we didn't know when we woke up this morning:

• A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a 52-year-old woman near Bempton
• A homeless charity in Hull says it is "a disgrace" that people are giving money and food to those sleeping rough in the city
• A 20-year-old man from Goole has been detained after the car he was driving crashed and killed two teenage passengers
• A lorry got stuck on Beverley Road causing traffic delays in Hull city centre
• And there's an East Yorkshire link to the country's oldest turkey bones

So, that's it, but thanks to our BBC Weather Watchers as always for sending in their pictures.

This one was taken at Habrough in North East Lincolnshire:

Worried neighbours who called police after seeing a "body-shaped figure" under a duvet in East Yorkshire were relieved to discover it was a big teddy bear.

Residents at Tranmere Park, in Hornsea, became concerned about their elderly neighbour after they had not been seen for days.

The neighbour returned home to find firefighters trying to enter the house.

It will be a largely dry and chilly start to the night, with some clear spells across the region.

However misty low cloud will develop late evening, with the cloud lowering to give some thick fog.

People are being warned over the dangers of being burned in their beds after 44,000 illegal cigarettes were seized in Scunthorpe.

Many of the counterfeit cigarettes found by North Lincolnshire Trading Standards weren't self extinguishing - the kind blamed for some house fire deaths.

The illegal stash was found in three shops on Frodingham Road and Cemetery Road.

The man in charge of housing at Hull City Council has admitted the authority has limited powers to move on rough sleepers from outside the former BHS store in the city centre.

The comments, by Dave Richmond (pictured), come after a homeless charity in Hull slammed members of the public who gave the rough sleepers there food, clothes and money.

Mr Richmond says: "The powers are not very strong and in some instances they're not that productive.

"If you take someone to court, they'll end up with a fine. If you're a rough sleeper, ending up with a fine isn't going to be that productive," he adds.

Rail passengers across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire are set to be hit with further strike action.

Members of the RMT union at six companies - Arriva Rail North, Southern, South Western Railway, Greater Anglia, Merseyrail and the Isle of Wight's Island Line - are to stage a series of 24-hour walkouts in January.

It's part of a long-running dispute about the role of guards.

The union said it had tried to resolve the disputes, which it has insisted are about safety.

Beverley Road in Hull will close briefly at 17:15 as police say an obstruction needs to be removed.

Earlier, we told you that a lorry had hit the railway bridge near the junction with De Grey Street.

The road has reopened, but it needs to close again, say police.

They add that it's a safety precaution and they don't expect it to be closed for long - but are unable to confirm when it will reopen.

A 20-year-old Goole man has been detained after the car he was driving crashed and his two teenage passengers died.

The crash happened in February and Levi Dickinson, 16, from Selby, and Rhogan Jones, 17, from Goole, died after the car hit a tree on Barnhill Lane near Howden (pictured).

Benjamin Bowden, 20, of Broadway, Goole, has been sentenced at Hull Crown Court to 12 months in a young offenders institution after admitting death by careless/inconsiderate driving.

More than 470 assaults on East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) staff have been reported over the past seven months, it's been revealed.

EMAS, whose crews cover North and North East Lincolnshire, has released the data during what it says will be one of its busiest weeks of the year.

The incidents include sexual and physical attacks.

The service is urging people celebrating Christmas to drink sensibly.

What are thought to be the oldest turkey remains ever found in Britain - which could have been brought to this country by a man from East Yorkshire - have been identified by archaeologists.

The bones of the native American bird were unearthed in Exeter in Devon and date from the early to mid-1500s.

The turkey is thought to have been introduced to England at around that date by William Strickland, of Boynton Hall, near Bridlington, and are likely to be descended from the first birds brought into Britain.

More on the news that a lorry has hit the railway bridge on Beverley Road, near the junction with De Grey Street.

The road's been closed since police were called at about 13:30 - and structural engineers have since been checking the bridge.

Police add that there's no major concern and describe the impact as a "scratch"

It's expected that the road will reopen shortly.

Drivers and bus passengers are being warned about delays after a lorry got stuck on Beverley Road in Hull.

It's currently affecting several bus services - and things may not be looking good for the rush hour:

Following criticism of the mess outside the former BHS building in Hull, Hull City Council has now cleaned up the site.

It's after some rough sleepers made it their home and the the charity Hull Homeless and Rootless Project (HARP) criticised local residents for giving them food, clothes and money.

Here's how the area looked a few days ago:

And here's the scene after the council cleared it up this morning:

You've been getting in touch with your views after Hull Homeless and Rootless Project (HARP) criticised local residents for giving food, clothes and money to rough sleepers outside Hull's former BHS building.

HARP has said people living rough in the city are "choosing to live like this" as they can make "small fortunes" from being given money by passers-by.

Here's what you've been telling BBC Radio Humberside via Twitter:

The man in charge of Hull's year as City of Culture says the boost to the city's pride is more important than the one it's given its finances.

Visitors have brought at least £60m into Hull, according to Hull 2017 officials, and the city has been promised an extra £9m from Arts Council England.

But Director of Hull 2017, Martin Green (pictured), says the biggest achievement can't be measured:

Police have confirmed that a 52-year-old woman has died at a house in East Yorkshire, leading to the launch of a murder investigation.

Police were called to a house on Main Street, Buckton, near Bempton, at about 19:50 on Tuesday where the woman was found.

Officers say they are still trying to establish the circumstances of how she died and have arrested a 56-year-old man on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident.

Generally cloudy with hill fog and light rain is possible in some areas.

A better chance of bright spells in the east, and then also in the north during the afternoon.

Feeling rather mild with light winds.

Residents in an East Yorkshire village have expressed their shock after the launch of a murder investigation there.

As we told you earlier, a man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after an incident in Buckton last night.

Police are now making door-to-door inquiries in the village.

One resident, Chloe Dyble, says she's lived in Buckton for 10 years and has "never heard of anything like this":
