A watermill in North Yorkshire's clocked up a million kilowatt hours of green energy.

Star of BBC TV's Restoration Village - 18th-century Howsham Mill sits on an island on the River Derwent near Malton.

In 2003 the mill was a ruin hidden in the trees on a small island in the River Derwent, five miles downstream from Malton - it's since been restored to its former glory, as it was when abandoned in 1947. 

It was the first venue in the country to use the new Archimedean screw technology and today it clocked up the impressive one millionth kilowatt hour, being ploughed back into the National Grid.   

Looks like more of our rail network is slow going this afternoon after signalling problems near Finningley. It's affecting trains around Doncaster.

The Chancellor Phillip Hammond announced an extra £2bn for councils to spend on older people's care up to 2020 in last week's budget.

But the Local Government Association says local authorities need almost three times that to plug the funding gap.

Strike action by RMT members has led to delays and cancellations on some trains across Yorkshire today. 

The union's unhappy about plans by Northern rail to bring in Driver only operated trains. 

There'd still be two people working on the train but it would be the drivers who open and close the doors, rather than the conductor. The RMT says this will impact on passenger safety. 

Katy usually gets the train from Horsforth station in Leeds every morning. She says she does have sympathy with those on strike:
