    If this celebratory confection whipped up for the event is anything to go by, it should b a piece of cake!

    The college is expected to train thousands of new engineers to work on developments such as the HS2 line and is the largest of its kind in the country.

  3. Environmental scientist to warn over fracking in North Yorkshire

    A Canadian oil and gas expert who has fought against fracking will speak to an audience in North Yorkshire later.

    Frack

    Jessica Ernst, an environmental scientist, is due to talk about problems she claims fracking caused to drinking water supplies in her homeland.

    Third Energy, which plans to start fracking in Ryedale by the end of the year, says the process is safe.

    The scientist is expected to join anti-fracking protestors in Kirby Misperton today, before speaking at the Milton Rooms, in Malton, this evening.

    So far 29 anti-fracking protesters have been arrested at the site.

    The protesters have already lost a legal challenge against the decision to grant planning permission to frack for shale gas at the site, but have vowed to continue their attempts to prevent equipment being delivered.

  4. Watch: Ship shape Yorkshire marathon has thousands of fans

    Congratulations to everyone involved in yesterday's Yorkshire Marathon in York.

    The race is one of several events, all inspired by the late Jane Tomlinson, that have helped raise £10m for charity.

    Victoria Ibbertson, Literature Festivals Manager at Harrogate International Festivals, said: “Dan Brown is such a global star that the occasion demanded the Royal Hall."

  6. Morrisons High Court data leak trial begins

    Thousands of Morrisons staff are going to sue the West Yorkshire-based supermarket for damages after a data leak.

    Morrisons

    It follows a breach of security in 2014 when a former internal auditor at the Bradford headquarters posted the payroll information of nearly 100,000 employees online.

    It included their bank, salary and national insurance details.

    The two week case at the High Court is thought to be the biggest ever claim to a data breach.
