The incident happened at a home on Sewerby Road on 9 June at about 19:00.

A public meeting is being held tonight to discuss concerns about the future of the school music service in Hull.

The service is currently used by thousands of children in schools across the city, but now an academy trust has decided to withdraw support and set up its own service.

A petition calling for the decision to be reversed has been signed by more than 3,000 people.

Hull City Council says it is committed to funding the service.

Discussions are being held about whether the Yorkshire Wolds should aim to become a UNESCO Global Geopark, external.

UNESCO Global Geoparks are geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international significance are managed for protection, education and sustainable development.

A conference looking at how this could be achieved, external is to take place in Market Weighton at the end of the month.

It would mean the Wolds would be managed in a way which combines conservation with sustainable development.

It would also allow people living in the area to have their say over how the environment is conserved.

A new windfarm to be maintained and serviced from Grimsby will be officially opened today.

It includes 91 turbines located off the North Norfolk coast and uses Siemens blades which are made in Hull.

It's claimed that the windfarm, which is run by Danish power company Orsted, can produce enough electricity for half-a-million UK homes.

Matthew Wright, managing director of Orsted, says the number of Grimsby jobs involved in maintaining the site will grow:

A letter from Yorkshire businesses and politicians calling for urgent action to improve the railways in the north of England is due to be delivered to the Prime Minister later.

It follows weeks of disruption for passengers using services run by rail operator Northern.

The company is still operating an emergency timetable with hundreds of services cancelled after a scheduled restructuring last month.

Henri Murison, from the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, which represents businesses and councils, says: "The north of England should be in charge of sorting this out."

Here's my full weather forecast:

Hull and Humber Environment Forum, which has compiled the figures, says the trend for fewer bus journeys is concerning.

In response, Hull City Council says it has introduced several measures in a bid to reverse the trend such as bus lane cameras and the Hull Card, which offers passengers a discount.

Funding will also be made available to further develop a northern park and ride scheme, according to the council.

Nearly 50 people have been arrested in a week as part of a crackdown on drug use in Hull city centre.
