The 37-year-old was sitting on a wall when the pair came up to him. They talked and he told them he was lost and they offered to show him the way to the bus station.

But when they reached Trevelyan Square he was assaulted by the man and knocked to the floor. Both of them then rifled through his pockets before leaving in a taxi.

The South Yorkshire Police officer filmed people having sex using the force helicopter.

Look beneath your feet at any Wetherspoon's pub and you will spot a uniquely crafted carpet.

They may be there to soak up the beer, but each is actually a bespoke design for the high street chain.

And once BBC Radio Sheffield discovered a hairdresser from Barnsley called Billy was photographing them, they sent out a reporter to look at what had sparked a minor obsession:

A phone company's been fined nearly £1m after customers were left unable to make emergency calls because of a flooded exchange in York.

Telcoms watchdog Ofcom found KCOM broke an important rule which aims to ensure everyone can contact emergency services at all times.

In December 2015, KCOM - which operates the main phone and broadband system in Hull - notified Ofcom that its emergency call service had failed for about four hours.

Over 100 attempts to contact emergency services had failed to connect and the company blamed flooding at a BT telephone exchange on York's Stonebow in the wake of Storm Eva.

While KCOM had a back-up system, it also relied on the flooded exchange, it's emerged.

The firm's been fined £900,000 for failing to ensure uninterrupted access to emergency services.

Rochelle Garner, from Ripponden, West Yorkshire, lost control of her car on Sunday on the A672 near to Junction 22 of the M62 as she was following her partner in the car in front.

She said: "It veered off the road and I didn't hit anything for a little while and then it rolled three times. It was surreal, I couldn't put it into words.

"I just wanted to get out of the vehicle as quickly as possible and I was still strapped in. I managed to push the door open and climb out."

Rochelle says her head has been left swollen by the accident, but otherwise she has minor injuries.

Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team were called out to help her: "I remember them pulling me up the hill, I was on a stretcher and I was being pulled to the top."

Rochelle was released the same night and says she's still sore, has cuts and bruises, hurt her left leg and suffered dizziness and she's now resting up at home.

She says she particularly wants to thank Stephan Gray and Jonathan Stigwood who were first on the scene:

Some not-so-good news now on the mortality of us Northerners: it seems we die earlier than Southerners...

That's the finding of a study co-authored by the University of York whose researchers say they've found a growing health divide across the country.

They're calling it A Tale of Two Englands and say research shows if you're a Northerner, you're 20% more like to die under the age of 75.

Professor Tim Doran, from the University of York, said: "These important findings were made possible by examining public health data, held by the NHS and other agencies, dating back decades."

York scientists who are following the antics of a lovelorn nightjar say the bird has travelled more than 600 miles across the UK in a quest to find a mate.

The University of York researchers, tracking the behaviour of the threatened birds on the Humberhead Peatlands near Doncaster, were amazed to see how Bird 16840 flew around the UK after failing to find a partner locally.

Dr Kathryn Arnold, said her team decided to call him Marcel - the name of a contestant on a reality TV dating show - after his GPS showed he first flew south to Cambridgeshire, then over to Norfolk before heading to Milton Keynes, the Severn Valley and Birmingham.

He then returned home, but has still not found his mate with only a few weeks of the breeding season still to go.

Dr Arnold said: "We checked and double-checked that there was no malfunction with the tag or error with the satellites, but the data is correct."

The other 20 birds the team followed all stayed within a few miles of the peatlands during the breeding season.

The team are continuing their tracking in the hope that Marcel will find his match.

Nightjars, which breed in the UK on heathlands and feed on moths and flying beetles, have been in decline for many years and they are species of conservation concern.
