Nick Armstrong, counsel, told the court it was the only occasion on which a teacher had been killed by a pupil in a British classroom and the family were anxious "that all the lessons that can be learned from this enormous tragedy are learned".

Mr Armstrong said it was a matter "of very substantial and current public interest" at a time when there were reports of a "spike" in the number of knives in schools.

In November 2016, a report by Leeds Safeguarding Children Board said no-one could have predicted or prevented Mrs Maguire's murder.

South Yorkshire Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to in relation to a robbery at a newsagent in Sheffield.

Police are appealing for information following a suspicious incident in Leeds.

At 00:06 on Tuesday police received a number of reports of a woman who appeared distressed with a man in a car which was beeping its horn in Woodhall Road, Calverley, near to the junction with Oastler Road.

The car, which was described as being possibly a silver Vauxhall Astra or Corsa, then sped off with the woman along Woodhall Road towards Thornbury.

Detectives are continuing enquiries to identify the people and the vehicle involved　

Detective Inspector James Entwistle, of Leeds District CID, said: "The people who contacted us were understandably concerned about the welfare of the woman involved and we are carrying out enquiries to trace the vehicle and establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

"We have not had any missing person reports or other concern calls that match to this incident.

"It may be that there is an explanation for what people saw and we would ask that the people involved or anyone with any information that could assist the investigation contact us immediately."

Burberry had planned to set up a £50m trench coat plant at the Grade I-listed building, creating 200 jobs.

It has emerged that the group has decided that it would be too expensive to renovate the building and it's understood that they are assessing whether to build a new factory or scrap the idea.

The company reported a 3% increase in retail sales to £478m in the three months to 30 June, while like-for-like sales rose 4%.

I'm at Doncaster Rovers's Keepmoat Stadium today where the People's Powerhouse is taking place.

It's an alternative to the Northern Powerhouse conferences that have taken place and has been organised by Jo Miller from Doncaster Metropolitan Council.

The event is aimed at women rather than men, after a similar conference in Manchester was criticised for its lack of female speakers.

Items on the agenda include investment, growth and how people can be put at the heart of any devolution deals.

Parking your car in cities - it's why I get the bus.

If you live in Leeds, you'll spend almost two days a year looking for somewhere to leave your car according to new research.

In fact the city is the third worst place in the country for time wasted while trying to park, only London and Belfast are worse.

Traffic information company Inrix came up with the figures. They say that trying to park up costs the typical motorist £733 in wasted time and fuel.

So there we have it, someone has confirmed what we all knew; parking in big cities is a right pain in the bumper.
