The top stories from across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire this lunchtime include:

• Hull City Council carries out a deep clean of area outside former BHS building where a number of rough sleepers have been staying
• A murder investigation is under way after an "incident" in a village near Bempton
• 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 big boost it's given to the city's finances

People in Britain make more Christmas internet searches than anywhere else in the world, according to internet giant Google.

And the village of Keelby, near Caistor, made the most searches per person in the country according to the statistics.

So why is Keelby so Christmassy? We went to the village to find out:

Staff at an outreach charity in Hull say they've had "challenging discussions" with rough sleepers outside the former BHS building in the city who don't necessarily want to move into accommodation.

The comments, from staff at Emmaus, come after Hull Homeless and Rootless Project (HARP) sparked a debate about the rough sleepers by criticising local people for giving them food, clothes and money.

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

Meanwhile, Kelly Thompson, from Emmaus, says: "We can be very proactive with them and physically take them to accommodation which is available to them.

"But ultimately it comes down to choice and we can't force people to make choices they don't want to make."

Here are the latest pictures from Buckton, near Bempton, in East Yorkshire, where police have launched a murder investigation.

Police were called to a house in the village last night and one man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

We'll bring you more on this story as we get it.

A group of rough sleepers set up camp at the building, but today that's been cleaned by Hull City Council staff.

The council says it has a "duty to keep the city centre in a sanitary condition".

It adds that members of its outreach team have spoken to people who use the area "offering them accommodation and reassurances that their belongs would be safe".

"No one needs to sleep rough in Hull, especially at Christmas...Clean, warm, dry and secure accommodation places are available immediately for those who want them," the council adds.

Hull Homeless And Rootless Project says people sleeping rough are "choosing to live like this" because they can make "small fortunes from passers-by".

The charity adds: "You are not helping the homeless, you are helping them continue to live in this way. There were empty hostel places last night - think about that."

Humberside Police will see an increase in their funding next year, but council tax bills will go up as a result.

The forces are being allowed to increase the police precept, but there's no extra government money for core services.

Police and Crime Commissioner Keith Hunter has called it disappointing.

Health bosses have confirmed they will be going ahead with plans to replace minor injuries units with larger care centres in East Yorkshire.

Under the plans the unit at Hornsea will close and Driffield and Withernsea will be downgraded.

But new centres will be opened in Beverley, Bridlington and Goole.

That's despite protests over the proposals.

Hornsea's Mayor says health bosses in the area haven't thought about what effect it will have on people in the town:

Dry with sunny spells, but tending to cloud over.

Watch my full forecast:

A co-operative of artists will take ownership of one of Barton upon Humber's most historic buildings on Friday 22 December.

The Ropewalk has been run by the Waterside Artists' Co-operative as a museum and arts venue since 2000 when they leased the building from the Proudfoot family.

But the Heritage Lottery Fund has now awarded them £100,000 to add to the £450,000 in grants from Arts Council England and North Lincolnshire Council, to secure its future in the town.

The government is being accused of cutting NHS services in East Yorkshire, despite promising extra funding this winter.

Bridlington is losing some wards while the Minor Injuries Unit at Driffield Hospital is to close following a review.

The area's Conservative MP, Sir Greg Knight, told the House of Commons it was unacceptable but the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt insisted more money was being invested in the service.

It comes as campaigners plan a protest this afternoon.
