Two people have been arrested at an anti-fracking protest in North Yorkshire.

Today's the first day that lorries carrying specialist fracking equipment are allowed onto the site at Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.

Organisers say they are expecting more protesters to arrive as the day goes on, with several already moved away from the entrance.

BBC reporter Dan Johnson is on the scene and these are his latest tweets:

Here are the latest scenes from Hexthorpe in Doncaster where a police officer was assaulted earlier this morning.

The officer is now being treated in hospital and three people have been arrested in connection with the incident which happened at about 08:30 on Sheardown Street:

A charity which has started holding free mobile dental clinics in Dewsbury says the turnout on the first day shows its services are in demand.

DentAid is funded by a grant of more than £7,000 and aims to help those who're struggling to get onto a dental clinic's books or who may be suffering from poor oral hygiene.

Staff have volunteered their time to help give check-ups, fillings and other treatments.

It comes after a recent BBC investigation revealed the difficulties some families face in trying to find an NHS dentist in the county.

Andy Evans, the charity's CEO, says he was surprised by how many people showed up:

Police forensic officers are on the scene in Hexthorpe, Doncaster, after an officer was seriously assaulted there earlier this morning.

The incident happened at about 08:30 on Sheardown Street, off Hexthorpe Road.

The injured officer is now being treated in hospital.

Meanwhile three people - two men and a woman - have been arrested in connection with the assault.

This was the scene there a short time ago:

James Street, between Little Hallfield Road and Lawrence Street, is currently closed northbound as a result.

The closure has caused traffic queues on the A1079 Hull Road to Tang Hall Lane.

A police officer is being treated in hospital after being seriously assaulted in Doncaster.

The incident happened in Hexthorpe at about 08:30 this morning.

A cordon has been put in place at Sheardown Street, off Hexthorpe Road.

Three people, two men and a woman, have been arrested in connection with the assault.

About 60 protesters have gathered outside a site in North Yorkshire where fracking is due to start soon.

Today is the first day that lorries carrying specialist fracking equipment are allowed onto the site at Kirby Misperton in Ryedale.

It follows 10 days of stand-offs with protesters trying to stop some maintenance vehicles from getting access to the site.

Organisers say they are expecting more protesters to arrive as the day goes on, with several moved away from the entrance to the site yesterday after causing an obstruction.

Last May, Third Energy was granted permission to carry out the technique of extracting gas from shale at the Kirby Misperton site, a process which involves pumping water and chemicals deep into the ground.

If you're driving in York, things might be a bit slower in the town centre just now.

Here's why:

An election for a mayor for South Yorkshire would be "ridiculous" at the present time, says Barnsley Central Labour MP Dan Jarvis.

A mayoral election would be part of a devolution deal for the region, but South Yorkshire's four councils seem increasingly divided on how the idea should work.

Yesterday, two of the four authorities voted against a £900m devolution deal for South Yorkshire, with the leaders of Barnsley and Doncaster saying they want to pursue a Yorkshire-wide deal.

Yet an election for a mayor for South Yorkshire is still due to go ahead next year regardless.

Dan Jarvis says as things stand that would be a pointless and costly exercise:

Burial costs in part of West Yorkshire could almost double over the next five years if officials approve plans to increase charges at a meeting later.

Currently a burial in Kirklees costs £989, but this could rise to almost £1,800 by 2021 if new council plans get the go-ahead.

The authority says it's updating its business model and charging structure for its bereavement services.

It claims it will give more choice to customers by increasing costs for some burials and will mean it can remove charges for the burial of those under the age of 18.

There are also plans to develop what's being called a Kirklees Affordable Funeral as well as the introduction of new charges for out-of-hours burials and those held on Friday afternoons.

A fine day for Yorkshire with sunny spells.

A little cloud will bubble up through the morning, but there will be further sunny spells and it will stay dry.

Watch my full forecast here:

There's been a big increase in the number of 999 callers to North Yorkshire Police who hang up before being answered.

Latest figures obtained by the BBC show 102 emergency calls to North Yorkshire Police were abandoned during June - that's up nearly 40% on last year's figure.

A total of 32 forces across the country have experienced a rise in the number of calls not answered, BBC Freedom of Information requests have shown.

The BBC has seen correspondence between police leaders expressing "concern" about high call volumes.

A Police Federation spokesman says resources are at a critical level and public safety has been compromised.

The Home Office says it expects crimes reported to police to be investigated thoroughly.

Langsett Road in Sheffield is currently badly affected after a bus crash this morning.

The road is closed between Cuthbert Bank and Primrose Hill at the moment for recovery work, and a tram route is affected.

Friends of a Leeds student who died at the weekend are due to gather together for a special tribute later.

Police are still trying to work out what happened to 21-year-old Harry Loker, who was found with serious injuries in the Hyde Park area on Friday morning.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

Tonight's open mic night at the Fenton pub will be dedicated to Mr Loker, who friends say had a "heart of gold".

Cameron Robson says it's difficult to come to terms with what's happened:

A Sheffield family has raised health concerns over the demolition of the city's former Hallam Tower Hotel.

The landmark, off Fulwood Road, is currently being torn down to make way for a new development.

The building had fallen into a state of disrepair since closing its doors more than a decade ago.

I've been to meet Thom Clutterbuck, who says the dust from the work to bring the building down is causing problems to some local residents:

BBC Weather

It will be a chilly start to the day for Yorkshire with a few fog patches.

These should soon clear, however, to leave a fine and dry day with sunny spells.

It will feel warmer than of late with light winds.

It'll be dry and clear this evening, becoming chilly for a time.

However after midnight cloud will thicken, perhaps with the odd spot of rain across northern areas.

Lorries can begin to move specialist equipment onto a site in North Yorkshire earmarked for fracking from today.

It's after North Yorkshire County Council signed off on all the planning conditions for the Kirby Misperton site, including traffic management, last week.

Several protesters had to be moved away from the entrance to the site yesterday after causing an obstruction.

Third Energy was granted permission to carry out the technique of extracting gas from shale last May, a process which involves pumping water and chemicals deep into the ground.

Licences have also been granted for companies to explore for gas in West Yorkshire.

Rail services across Yorkshire appear to be running pretty much to time so far this morning.

However, the 06:51 York to Manchester Airport service is currently running about 15 minutes late.

Terry Bailey, 39, was assaulted in the early hours of 29 August and died in hospital later.

The men are not believed to be directly involved, but could have information about an argument that took place.

They got on a train at Leeds to Manchester Piccadilly, said British Transport Police.

Det Ch Insp Glen Alderson said: "We believe they may have witnessed a verbal altercation that took place before the fatal attack, so it's really important we talk to them."

Daniel Goodall, 56, of Poplar Mount, Bramley, Leeds, and Jamie Loftus, aged 28, of no fixed address, have been charged with manslaughter and are due to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 28 September.
