A breast cancer charity which had shops in Yorkshire and the Humber region is being investigated after its founder paid herself £31,000 in breach of charity law.

Wendy Watson MBE, who launched National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline in 1996, has resigned as a trustee.

Financial irregularities were uncovered by the Charity Commission, which has issued an official warning for "significant breaches of trust".

Lawyers for Mrs Watson and the charity described the payments as "an error".

Mrs Watson, from Derbyshire, founded the charity four years after she became the first woman in the UK to have a pre-emptive mastectomy.

By 2012, it was raising almost £1m per year from charity shops in Derbyshire, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, the Humber region and London.

Pakistan is marking the 70th anniversary of its independence.

There were fireworks at midnight to mark the moment of Partition from India.

In August 1947, India won its independence from the British and split into two new states which would rule themselves.

The new countries were India and Pakistan. East Pakistan has since become Bangladesh.

A new exhibition at the Peace Museum in Bradford is looking at the stories of those from West Yorkshire who experienced it.

Samayya Afzal, from the Peace Museum, says it's been an emotional journey collecting stories:

The town's Civic Mayor will present him with a special scroll in what officials say is a recognition of his bravery, determination and fighting spirit.

He was appointed an MBE at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 2013.

Rural crime has been estimated to cost the UK £39m, with many farmers feeling "under siege" from thieves, a new report shows.

Transport links also mean thieves can steal machinery and move it into mainland Europe in "a matter of hours", according to insurer NFU Mutual's Rural Crime Report

Although the cost has reduced from £41m in 2015, the NFU report says farmyards are becoming "fortresses".

The survey shows the problem costs more than £1m a year in both West Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.

Roger, a North Yorkshire farmer, was recently hit by thieves and he says the problem is even bigger than is being reported:

The road isn't expected to re-open until at least Tuesday.

Eight teak carriages, used in the filming of TV drama Downton Abbey, were severely damaged in an overnight attack in July.

Fire extinguishers were also set off throughout the carriages, soaking the furniture and wall fittings.

Four of the carriages have now been restored and are back in operation, according to NYMR.

The spectacular Perseid meteor shower was seen over parts of the UK at the weekend, giving stargazers the opportunity to spot scores of shooting stars in the sky.

Stargazers took to social media to say they had seen the display, in which 100 meteors had been expected an hour.

The Perseid meteor shower occurs every July and August as the Earth passes debris from the Swift-Tuttle comet.

The amazing picture below was taken in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and consists of 233 photographs of the meteor shower taken over one hour and 57 minutes:

We mentioned a little while ago about two teenagers who'd been missing from their homes in Bradford since the weekend.

They are due to appear at Bulford Court Martial Centre on 21 and 22 September.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed 17 former recruit instructors will face trial, but refused to provide names or charges.

It said it would not be appropriate to comment further.

A judge is expected to rule today whether pupils who witnessed the murder of Leeds teacher Anne Maguire should give evidence at the inquest into her death.

Ann Maguire, 61, was stabbed to death by Will Cornick at Corpus Christi Catholic College, Leeds, in April 2014.

Cornick, who was 15 at the time, was given a life sentence in 2014 after admitting murdering Mrs Maguire, who had taught Spanish at Corpus Christi for more than 40 years.

Her husband and her children have challenged a decision not to call students who saw the attack to court.

The High Court was told it was unlawful for pupils who had contact with Cornick immediately before the murder not to give evidence.

The request was opposed by others including the sisters of Mrs Maguire.

Philip Docherty, 16, was last seen in the city at about 22:00 on Saturday, while Bethany Pemberton, 17, was last seen at about 01:10 on Sunday morning.

They are believed to be together and have contacts across Bradford, but police believe it's possible they may have travelled to South Yorkshire.

Philip is described as white, about 5ft 8ins tall, with brown eyes and short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a bright yellow top, red Nike trainers, a black hooded top and black trousers.

Bethany is described as white with shoulder-length blonde hair and of slim build.
