Bradford City winger Mark Marshall says the Bantams won't be getting carried away after their unbeaten start to the season. 

They sit in second place in League One after the first 12 games. 

But Marshall has told BBC West Yorkshire Sport he isn't getting complacent.

In 1916, an explosion in a Leeds munitions factory caused what is claimed to be one of the UK's single largest loss of female life in World War One.

Yet wartime conditions meant the deaths of 35 women at Barnbow in Leeds were barely reported.

A century on, and the story of the devastation and consequences of the blast at Barnbow is being preserved.

Historic England recommended the site be protected to recognise the role of women in the conflict.  

It has now been protected as a scheduled monument by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Campaigners in Huddersfield fighting to keep casualty services in the town are heading to Westminster this morning. 

They're due to hand a petition containing tens of thousands of signatures into 10 Downing Street. 

Under the proposals, the current Huddersfield Royal Infirmary would close to be replaced by a smaller hospital, which would have no casualty unit. That service would be taken care of in Halifax instead.

Delays are easing but there's still very slow traffic on the M62 eastbound between J25, A644 (Brighouse) and J26, M606 (Chain Bar) because of an earlier broken down vehicle. 

All lanes have been re-opened. Congestion to J24, A629 (Ainley Top).  

Its hard not to get a great picture of West Yorkshire...especially if you're a Look North cameraman!

Check out this beauty from Malik, although I'm not sure why he was sat in a field so early in the morning...

This morning I'm travelling to London with campaigners who've been trying to halt plans to move Huddersfield Royal Infirmary's Accident and Emergency Department to Halifax and replace the town's existing Royal Infirmary.

A dry and bright morning ahead, but cloud will gradually build throughout the morning. 

We're then at risk of seeing some very heavy, potentially thundery isolated showers as well as some brighter spells - the best chance of seeing these will be a bit further inland. 

Feeling cool in the north easterly breeze with highs of 12C (54F).
