Today the Crown Prosecution Service has published new statements on how it will prosecute hate crime.

Prosecutors are being told that hate crimes committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences carried out face to face.

Celebrities, sports stars and MPs have all been victims and there's been an increase in cases since the rise of social media.

One person who's suffered abuse of this kind is Sheffield Heeley MP, Louise Haigh:

York's oldest, richest and most famous race meeting returns to the city this week.

The Ebor Festival starts on Wednesday and hosts its first ever £1m race.

I've been to a stables near Malton, where I met the lovely Seymour who's running at the Ebor meeting and is looking in fine form:

It's 20 years this month since the film The Full Monty was first released.

The film was set and filmed in Sheffield and was one of the biggest British cinema hits of the 1990s, starring Robert Carlyle, Tom Wilkinson and Hugo Speer.

To mark the anniversary, I've been out across the Steel City with postcards featuring scenes from the movie to see how those locations have changed.

First, here's Bacon Lane in Attercliffe where the famous car-in-the-canal scene was shot:

Here's the location of the Millthorpe Working Men's Club - which is actually in Firth Park:

And finally, here's that famous street scene with Robert Carlyle walking down what, in real-life, is Idsworth Road, near the Northern General Hospital:

If you have any memories of the film - maybe you were even an extra in the cast - then why not email yorkshirelive@bbc.co.uk and share them with us?

A man has threatened a woman by holding a screwdriver to her neck as she was using a cash machine in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.

It happened at an ATM outside a convenience store in Smith House Avenue just after midnight on Monday 7 August.

The man went up to the 42-year-old woman and held the screwdriver to her neck, making her walk down the road with him.

However, she managed to flag down a passing driver and the man ran off.

The suspect is about 5ft 10ins tall, aged between 20 and 40-years-old, with short dark hair.

An 11-year-old boy has had to undergo plastic surgery to his face after being attacked by a dog in Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire.

The attack happened at about 18:00 last Thursday when the boy was bitten by a brindle coloured Boxer dog outside the fish and chip shop on Albion Road.

The boy, who is from the South Yorkshire area, suffered "significant" facial injuries and was taken to Scarborough Hospital by ambulance, before being transferred to York.

Police are appealing for help in identifying the men in the CCTV image above who police want to speak to about the incident.

Sheffield-born football manager Neil Warnock has given a cheeky response to Wolves fans after his current club Cardiff City beat Wolves 2-1 on Saturday.

Speaking about the banter he received from the home crowd after his side's victory at Molineux, the former Sheffield United and Rotherham United manager, replied in typical Warnock fashion:

A minority of young people are behind problems on a York estate which has led to police imposing a dispersal order there due to anti-social behaviour, a councillor says.

The order, for the Chapelfields area, was originally put in place on Thursday, with police saying they'd had to deal with an "astonishing" number of incidents of anti-social behaviour there.

That order, which gives officers the power to break up big groups of people, has now been extended until at least 17:30 today.

Councillor Stuart Rawlings, who's responsible for education, children and young people for City of York Council, says it's a serious issue, but caused by only a small number of young people:

Children on the estate have told BBC Radio York they're being unfairly targeted by the police.

But this 86-year-old woman, who lives in Chapelfields, says she's considering moving on to escape the trouble:

A festival of burlesque, vaudeville, cabaret, circus, magic and variety acts is taking place in Sheffield this Friday and Saturday.

Performers from as far afield as the USA, Germany, Slovakia and France will be taking part in the festival.

It is being run by Lara Gothique who is a burlesque artist, I spoke to her about what to expect:

The 25-year-old joined the NRL side from Huddersfield in December 2016 and has made 15 appearances this year.

Wardle said: "I would just like to say thank you to Newcastle for working alongside me in what has been a hard time adjusting to life down under.

"Rugby careers are short so happiness is key and sometimes things don't work out, which is unfortunately the case."

Later on this evening a partial solar eclipse will occur, but what will we see in Yorkshire?

People in the US are very excited about it because they'll see a full eclipse, but owing to our position on the planet we'll only see a bit of one - or partial as scientists say.

Image source, Getty Images

It's a special one in the States because it is the first total solar eclipse to make landfall exclusively in the US since independence in 1776.

But away from the stargazers across the Atlantic, we might be thwarted in our attempts to witness an astrological marvel down to our old friends - the clouds.

It looks set to be very cloudy across Yorkshire at the time we could catch a glimpse of the eclipse, which will happen at 20:00 this evening.

But who knows, we might have one of those sunsets where the sun dips below the clouds and we're treated to an amazing solar spectacle.

Sunset tonight is at 20:22 so as the sun heads to the horizon we may get lucky. But hold your horses, there are a few things you need to do before you gaze skywards.

What is a partial eclipse of the sun?

A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but they're not exactly in line. Instead, the Moon only partly covers the Sun. In a total solar eclipse, places not directly under the path of the moon's shadow will see a partial solar eclipse.

What you need to do to see it safely?

Seeing an eclipse can be dangerous without the right precautions, normal sunglasses are no good you'll need to wear a special pair of eclipse glasses or follow one of these top-tips.

But it's safe to say watching through telescopes, binoculars and cameras is very risky and should be avoided. One way to safely view it is by making a pinhole camera.

I'm washing my hair tonight, when's the next one?

The next partial eclipse will be in 2021, but the next total eclipse in the UK will be on 23 September... 2090. Plenty of time to get started on the pinhole camera.

Yes, yes, yes we know it's not exactly new news, but it's worth repeating: Huddersfield Town are currently second in the Premier League table.

Sounds good doesn't it?

The Terriers made it two wins from their first two Premier League games as Aaron Mooy's stunning second-half strike saw off fellow promoted side Newcastle.

The Australian's beautifully executed finish was one of the few moments of quality in a match that, at times, had the feel of a Championship encounter.

Newcastle looked threatening in attack but they lacked a good final ball. Bar a superb save from Matt Ritchie, Danish goalkeeper Jonas Lossl did not have to repeat his heroics at Crystal Palace on the opening weekend.

A youth orchestra in Yorkshire claims to be the first of its kind to go 100% digital.

The orchestra, whose members are aged between 12-18, has completely ditched sheet music for electronic tablets.

Businessman Chien Lee, who's also a majority shareholder at French League One side Nice, has been in talks with the Reds hierarchy for some time.

A dispersal order put in place on a York estate hit by "high-level" anti-social behaviour has been extended.

It was brought in for the Chapelfields area on Thursday and will now run until at least 17:30 today.

North Yorkshire Police say they took action after more than 25 incidents of anti-social behaviour in just nine days, including arson, drug use and criminal damage.

The force says the incidents involved groups of about 30 young people at a time, causing disruption, becoming threatening and using abusive language.

These women, who've lived in Chapelfields for many years, say there's nothing in the area for young people to do:

A total of 35 South Yorkshire Police officers are still under investigation following the grooming scandal in Rotherham, according to the police watchdog.

This week marks three years since Professor Alexis Jay (pictured) released her findings that 1,400 girls had been groomed, trafficked and raped in the town.

Her report also found that local authorities had failed to take the problem seriously.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) says it will be next year before any decisions are made, once all 88 investigations into South Yorkshire Police's handling of allegations of child sexual abuse following the child grooming scandal have concluded.

A statement by the IPCC says: ""We are aiming to complete all of our investigations by the end of this financial year, at the latest. We aim to publish our report soon after the investigations have concluded."
