East Yorkshire's Kyle Edmund has lost to Marin Cilic in the semi-finals of the Australian Open in Melbourne.

Cilic won 6-2 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 to reach his first Melbourne final, where he will face Roger Federer or Hyeon Chung.

Edmund, 23, had been trying to become just the fourth British man to reach a Grand Slam final since tennis turned professional in 1968.

Cilic, the 2014 US Open champion, dominated from the outset, while Edmund required a medical timeout after the first set and appeared to be hindered in the closing stages.

British Steel has secured a deal to supply steel to Shanghai in China for its £57bn project.

The firm will make crane rails which will enable the port to handle huge container ships.

Scunthorpe Labour MP Nic Dakin says it's great news for the workers:

Edmund, from Beverley, lost out to Cilic in a tie-break in the second set.

He's has never won a match from two sets down, so now would be an excellent time to turn that record around...

Efforts to prevent future flooding in East Yorkshire have been revealed to local residents.

The plans for a tidal surge defence system for Hessle Foreshore are on show for residents to see at Hessle Town Hall until 18.00.

It's understood the plans would benefit over 4,000 residential properties if put in place.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has pledged to contact sat nav manufacturers asking them to amend their maps after several close calls involving lorries.

HGVs have been seen squeezing through narrow residential streets in Preston, near Hull, damaging verges and hedges.

Officials say drivers are taking a wrong turn as HGVs are banned from most of Preston.

Geoff Catterick, vice chairman of Preston Parish Council, has welcomed news that the sat nav firms will be contacted:

Here's my full weather forecast:

That's all from me today, but breaking news, sport and travel updates will continue right here throughout the night.

Meanwhile, here are five things we've learned today so far:

1. There's a plan to ban cyclists from a nearly 15-mile stretch of the A63 in East Yorkshire
2. A third person is charged as part of a murder investigation in Grimsby
3. There's concern over the future of a swimming pool near Hedon
4. Unemployment in the Yorkshire and the Humber region has gone up
5. And William Wilber-frost and Kyle Spred-mund are some of the names being considered for East Yorkshire's gritters

It'll be windy at times overnight with further showers.

It will become mainly dry later.

Clear spells will develop with a slight frost forming in sheltered areas:

A government minister is facing calls to resign after attending a men-only dinner in London where waitresses were reportedly groped.

Nadhim Zahawi, who was promoted to the role of Children's Minister two weeks ago, says he left the Presidents' Club Dinner early and finds the reports of lewd behaviour "shocking".

But the Labour MP for Hull West and Hessle, Emma Hardy, is one of many MPs to raise concerns in the Commons:

A 63-year-old man has appeared in court charged with murdering a man at a house in Hull.

Colin Cadamartriea is accused of killing Jarrad Marsh at the property in Albert Avenue on Saturday.

Mr Marsh, 31, died of stab injuries at the scene, despite treatment by paramedics and police officers.

Mr Cadamartriea, of Albert Avenue, appeared before Hull Crown Court.

He was remanded in custody and is due to face a trial in June.

Cyclists could be banned from a stretch of road regarded by some as the "the jewel in the crown" of time trial racing.

Highways England has applied for a Traffic Regulation Order to stop cyclists using the A63 between Hull and North Cave over safety concerns.

The road forms part of the v718 time trial course, a 10-mile route seen as one of the fastest in the country.

Humberside Police say they've had concerns about competitive cycling events on the road "for some time":

William Wilber-frost, Humber Fridge and Kyle Spred-mund are just some of the names being considered for East Yorkshire's gritters.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council's decided to name its 21 machines after the idea was suggested by a boy from Beverley.

A similar campaign in Doncaster saw gritters being called David Ploughie and Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney...

Colin Cadamartriea, 63, is accused of killing a man at a house in Hull on Saturday.

Highways bosses say they want to ban cyclists from using a major dual carriageway through East Yorkshire as a cycling event racecourse.

The police are worried about safety after a series of accidents, including one in which a man died.

The 15-mile stretch of the A63, between Hull and North Cave, has a reputation as one of the fastest time trial courses in the sport - and Bradley Wiggins has competed on it recently.

Cycling groups insist safety concerns are exaggerated and the road is safe.

Bike shop owner Ed Neilson believes the time course is actually a jewel in the cycling crown:

The success of a unique project which recorded the birth of babies born during Hull's year as City of Culture is being celebrated today.

Throughout 2017, babies born in the city had impressions of their feet taken by midwives which were then displayed at the Hull Women and Children's Hospital.

Funds raised from today's event will go towards improving patient experiences on the maternity wards.
