A new report out today reveals Yorkshire spent £850m on takeaways last year.

The British Takeaway Campaign also showed the industry supports 23 thousand jobs in the region.

The average spending on takeaways is £30 a month per household. That means the takeaway sector is actually a key factor in the UK's economic growth.

But it's not all good news. The British Take Away campaign is worried that these small, often family run businesses, are facing many challenges from increasing business rates to concerns about skills shortages.

The Great Yorkshire Show gets underway tomorrow, and one exhibitor is hoping her day job will help her do well in the agricultural competition.

Pamela Lupton, from Ripon, breeds and shows Suffolk sheep, but by day she's also a hairdresser.

She says her salon skills help her to make her flock look first class and she's hoping the extra glow of Pansy the sheep, will help her chances of picking up an award.

Apparently Pansy's a spray tan fan!:

It's been a busy weekend in Sheffield city centre, with Cliffhanger festival making it's second appearance.

It's previously been held in Graves Park, but was moved to the city centre last year.

Is Sheffield becoming the city of festivals?

They pursued him unarmed, despite knowing he may have a gun and a knife.

The pair, who were honoured by West Yorkshire Police last month, are now being recognised by the Police Federation Bravery Awards.

PC Nicholls said: "On the day this happened, we were not due on patrol but our training was cancelled.

"When we heard what was happening we went straight to the area - we knew who we were looking for and what we were going towards but we knew that if he wasn't stopped he could hurt someone else."

Sunny spells are then likely to develop by the afternoon, however scattered showers are also expected, these perhaps turning heavy at times.

Here's my full forecast:

There's growing concern that children in North Yorkshire are being put at risk by using a new phone app.

Snapchat's latest maps feature, Snap Map, lets users share their exact location.

But, there are fears it means children who use the social media app can be tracked.

Schools, North Yorkshire Police and now North Yorkshire County Council have all issued safeguarding warnings to parents.

Teenage Snapchat fans, Megan and Lola, from Millthorpe School in York, say they fear people using the app to stalk them:

The company stressed that location sharing on Snap Map was off by default, was an opt-in feature and could be switched off at any time.

Southern workers plan to walk out on a one-day strike.

The RMT union is in dispute with the companies over driver-only-operated trains (pictured) which it says would be unsafe and lead to widespread job losses.

"The threat to abolish guards and introduce driver-only-operated trains is only part of the wider attack on rail services," said the RMT.

The union said the dispute is not about pay or conditions but strike action is over "concern about passenger safety".

In April RMT members demonstrated against the proposals and to mark the one-year anniversary of its dispute with Southern rail.
