Work starts today to remove cladding from a tower block in Sheffield after it failed new fire tests.

The City Council says it is safe for residents to stay in their homes while work is carried out on Hanover block in Broomhall.

The cladding is not the same as that used on Grenfell tower in London, where at least 79 people were killed in a fire two weeks ago.

Sheffield Council says that one element used in the refurbishment of the tower block failed government tests.

The council say the block is safe as extensive fire stopping and fire prevention work had been carried out.

The metal cladding was added to the 16-storey tower block during a recent refurbishment.

The Government says 75 high rise buildings in England, have now failed fire safety tests ordered after the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Mothers are the "unseen force" behind so-called honour-based abuse, inflicting violence on their daughters, a study has found.

Research by Rachael Aplin, a criminologist from Leeds Beckett University, said this was often unrecognised by police.

Of the 100 "honour" crimes she studied, 49 involved mothers - but this was often not recorded in crime reports.

Cases included violence to daughters, sometimes to induce an abortion.

She said the focus on any action taken against perpetrators should be on both males and females.

Mrs Aplin, a senior lecturer in criminology at the university, is on a career break from her role as a police detective sergeant.

She said: "The level of involvement of mothers in these cases was a real surprise, as was the level to which this wasn't acknowledged in police reporting."
