A new collection of essays by black, Asian and minority ethnic writers is set to be published. 

According to its editor, Nikesh Shukla, The Good Immigrant is "a document of what it means to be a person of colour" in Yorkshire and Britain today. 

I spoke to Nikesh about his experiences on BBC Radio Leeds and this is what he had to say:

Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson says he is "so happy" to be playing at Elland Road.

It looks like three Kirklees museums could close due to council cost-cutting.

Dewsbury Museum in Crow Nest Park, Tolson Museum in Huddersfield and the Red House in Gomersal look almost certain to be told they'll be shut down.

Bronte expert Richard Wilcocks says losing the Red House would be a "tragedy" because one of the famous literary sisters, Charlotte, used it as a setting for one of her novels.

Hopefully, the sun will eventually break through...

Any early mist and fog clearing to leave plenty of fine dry, weather with good spells of prolonged sunshine.

It'll feel chilly first thing but pleasant in the sun later with highs of about 15C (59F).

It'll be another dry night to come with plenty of clear spells.

We are at risk of some isolated mist and fog patches forming, particularly further east and it will feel chilly but not as cold as last night with lows of about 11C (52F).
