A closure notice served on a Sheffield city centre nightclub will remain in force until at least Friday following a stabbing at the weekend, South Yorkshire Police has confirmed.

Emergency services were called to the Area nightclub on Burgess Street at about 02:20 on Sunday after reports that two men, aged 28 and 33-years-old, had been stabbed. They suffered serious injuries but are now said to be recovering well in hospital.

Ch Supt Shaun Morley says: "South Yorkshire Police will need to be absolutely satisfied that the club's management have made significant changes to structures and processes around security and ID."

Extra police patrols are operating in Sheffield city centre following this incident on Sunday and two other stabbings which happened on Saturday night.

Two men from Sheffield, aged 18 and 19, have been charged with attempted murder and racially aggravated assault in connection with the stabbings.

Here's more from Highways England about ongoing problems on the M62 in West Yorkshire at the Lofthouse Interchange with the M1.

The bottom line is probably to avoid the area if at all possible until later today:

A High Court judge is set to consider the case of a religious education teacher who was thrown off a University of Sheffield course after saying on an online discussion that homosexuality was a sin.

Felix Ngole, from Barnsley, says he was lawfully expressing a traditional Christian view and has complained the university unfairly stopped him completing a postgraduate social work degree.

A judge is due to analyse his claims at the High Court in London during a two-day trial starting later.

Sheffield University says the decision to remove Mr Ngole, who's originally from Cameroon, was fair and proportionate.

University bosses said he was taking a "professionally qualifying degree" with the aim of becoming a social worker and argued what he said would affect gay people he might work with.

A windy day with the strong and gusty westerly winds slowly easing.

It will be bright with sunny spells and most places will stay dry.

Watch my full forecast here:

West Yorkshire Police have just tweeted this warning to drivers on the M62:

Police say they're growing "increasingly concerned" over the welfare of a teenage boy who's been missing from home in North Yorkshire since the weekend.

Harry Smith, 16, from Catterick Garrison, was last seen by his friends outside the Co-op in Colburn at about 22:00 on Sunday.

It's believed he was wearing a black Jack Jones hooded top, dark coloured bottoms and dark coloured Nike trainers.

Anyone who has seen him, or who has any information about his whereabouts, is being asked to get in touch with police.

A Leeds IT contractor says he is yet to meet his second son due to Home Office delays in processing his residency application.

Farooq Shaik's pregnant wife left their home in Leeds to see family in India a year ago and he expected to join her shortly after, but a decision on his application was still pending.

He began the process 12 months ago after living and working in the UK for 10 years but said he was eventually turned down over a tax discrepancy. He is now appealing.

"They rejected it because they say my income isn't genuine even though I have paid my taxes for the past 10 years and have proof which I've sent to them," he said.

The government said complex cases take "longer to process".

Do you know this woman? Police want to speak to her after a train guard was racially abused at Doncaster station.

A woman boarded the Doncaster-Sheffield train with a man at about 19:50 on Thursday 31 August and she headed for the toilet cubicle.

When the guard asked to see her ticket she swore and used a racially offensive word at him, according to British Transport Police.

Officers would like to speak to the woman shown in the CCTV image as she may have information which could help the investigation.

Disruption is expected at Leeds-Bradford Airport again today as passengers who had been due to travel with Monarch Airlines seek alternative flights.

The airline, which stopped trading yesterday, was the third biggest operator at Leeds-Bradford.

The collapse of Monarch has led to nearly 1,900 job losses and the cancellation of all its flights and holidays.

The Civil Aviation Authority has chartered aircraft for those stranded abroad, with flights returning 110,000 passengers from overseas expected to cost about £60m.

The collapse of the 50-year-old company is the largest ever for a UK airline.

A bright but chilly start is expected, with plenty of morning sunshine.

It should remain dry with further sunny spells.

However, it will stay rather breezy, especially along coasts:

Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley is expected to join protesters at the gates of a site in North Yorkshire where fracking is due to get under way by the end of this year.

The Greens say fracking - the process of drilling into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release gas inside - is a "dangerous and unnecessary" industry.

But Third Energy, which is preparing to frack for shale gas at Kirby Misperton in Ryedale, says the process is safe.

There have been 28 arrests since protests began at the site as fracking equipment started to be moved in.

A group known as Farmers against Fracking, whose members joined the demonstrations a week ago, says it will hold a harvest festival at the site gates later.

Extra patrols in and around Sheffield city centre will continue in order to reassure people following two stabbing incidents at the weekend, according to South Yorkshire Police.

Four men were stabbed in two separate incidents in the city centre in the early hours of Saturday, with police currently saying they're treating the incidents as "linked".

Two teenagers from Sheffield were charged with attempted murder yesterday in connection with the stabbings and were remanded in custody.

Lamar Waite, 18, of Denholme Close, and Osman Adan, 19, from Neville Close, also face charges of racially aggravated assault, GBH and wounding.

They are due to appear for trial at Sheffield Crown Court on 30 October.

Det Insp Mark Monteiro says: "A dedicated team of detectives has been working to speak with witnesses, gather extensive evidence and review CCTV in and around the city. This work continues."

As you may be aware, Northern rail services across Yorkshire will be disrupted today as members of the RMT union are out on strike.

The company says it will be operating a limited service, with about 46% of trains in operation and it's asking people to carefully consider whether their journey is necessary.

The services which are available across Yorkshire appear to be running pretty much to time so far.

Hello and welcome to BBC Local Live in Yorkshire on Tuesday 3 October 2017.

We'll be with you until 18:00 with all the latest news, weather, travel and sport updates from across Yorkshire.

The mix of sunshine and rain has meant we've received a host of cracking rainbow pics over the last 24 hours.

I've chosen to start today with this one over Sheffield railway station - perhaps we should call it a a railbow!:

You might notice the sky inside the arch of the rainbow is brighter than the sky outside of it.

A meteorologist colleague told me that's because raindrops scatter sunlight into the opposite part of the sky to form a circular disc of light there... They do say a day without learning is a day wasted!

If you have a great pic to share, or want to get in touch with us about what's happening where you are, just email us here.
