Sheffield has been making the case for why Channel 4 should consider a move to the city at an event in Liverpool today.

A number of cities have expressed an interest in being the new home for the broadcaster despite its opposition to moving out of London.

A consultation into the broadcaster's future was launched after the government carried out an 18-month review of the publicly owned channel, which has more than 800 staff but fewer than 30 based outside the capital.

Today the Right Honourable Richard Caborn, the Chair of Sheffield's C4 bid, has been making the case at a panel event at Liverpool John Moores University.

The government said it would consider all bids with the broadcaster "to ensure that Channel 4 maximises its delivery of public value."

The message on the iPad reads " Hello, thank you for breaking my window. Do you have nothing better to do? You could have better spent your time getting a job."

Some devices allow people to control them remotely and flash messages up on the screen if they've been stolen.

It's now ended up in the hands of South Yorkshire Police, after it was handed in to officers in Rotherham.

Bus drivers in Bradford have been offered sign language lessons to help them when deaf passengers want to get on board.

First Bradford approached the Bradford Deaf Community Association so that bus drivers can interact more easily with deaf and hard of hearing customers.

First say that the charity has been training the drivers over the last month at special workshops.

The drivers can now tell deaf passengers the times of the day and even explain if there’s a delay in the service and why.

A surgeon from Sheffield has become the first in the north of England to successfully implant a fully invisible hearing device into the fine bones of a woman's middle ear.

It has enabled 67-year-old Linda Oxley, a former wine and spirits manager, to hear everyday sounds for the first time in ten years.

" My life has changed beyond belief. As soon as the implant was switched on I could tell the difference straight away. I could hear traffic, people whistling, dogs barking, even hear the owl at night."

The Cochlear CARINA device gives 24/7 hearing and can be recharged through an external charger within 30 minutes.

It's suitable for people who have severe hearing loss and who can no longer benefit from conventional hearing aids.

Here was the view in Rotherham from Kerry

An inquest has heard there was no evidence to suggest that an 11-year-old Bradford boy found hanged in his room was bullied, according to police who investigated his death.

Asad Khan was found by his mother, Farheen Khan, when she broke down his bedroom door at their home on 28 September last year.

Asad's parents said that they thought he was being being bullied and also expressed concern about suggestions there was a choking game being played at Beckfoot Upper Heaton School.

His family walked out of a pre-inquest review in August after a dispute with coroner about what evidence he would consider at the inquest, which began in full today at Bradford Coroner's Court.

The first baffles which are designed to cut wind speed around Yorkshire's tallest building are being put into place today.

Dr Edward Slaney was killed nearby when a lorry blew over in 2011. A coroner blamed his death on high winds in the area.

Police say protesters have built a tower in the road at a fracking site in Ryedale.

Officers say they "facilitated a peaceful candlelit vigil at the entrance of the site on Habton Road in Kirby Misperton for members of the local community."

During the event, a group of protesters "dragged a tower into the road at the site entrance."

A man and a woman then climbed on top of it, and locked themselves to each other. They remained there overnight.

It's the third time protesters have built a tower on the site.

Supt Alisdair Dey of North Yorkshire Police said: “Once again, emergency services resources will have to be deployed to deal with this tower in the road.”

Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release the gas inside.

Opponents say it can cause water contamination, earthquakes and noise and traffic pollution.
