"If you play against 12 it is very difficult," 44-year-old Christiansen told BBC Radio Leeds.

"It's clear we should have had a penalty and their penalty was a foul outside the box. You feel impotent."

Firefighters were attacked on six occasions in West Yorkshire last night, as they dealt with emergency calls around the county.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service say that they had about 600 calls to their control room last night - Hallowe'en.

The brigade say that stones and fireworks were thrown at them and that they also got verbal abuse.

Last week they launched a campaign against attacks on firefighters after reporting an increase in violence towards their crews in the last year.

Sheffield City Council will debate later whether to remove a Freedom of the City award from Aung San Suu Kyi, one of Myanmar's leaders.

She was originally awarded the honour in 2005 in recognition of the years she'd spent under house arrest as a campaigner for democracy while Myanmar, formerly Burma was ruled by a military dictatorship.

A city council motion has now been put forward in response to what's been described as a lack of action to protect Rohingya Muslims from actions by Myanmar's military.

In a report out today, Bishop James Jones supported the introduction of a "Hillsborough Law", which has been called for by families and would make it a criminal offence for public officials to cover up wrong-doing within an organisation.

He also called for a change to inquest procedures, as well as publicly-funded legal representation for families at inquests which public bodies were represented at, as well as an end to public bodies "spending limitless sums" on representation.

The former Bishop of Liverpool was asked by the government to carry out the review after the conclusion of the inquests in April last year.

The inquests found 96 fans were unlawfully killed in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster and errors by the police and ambulance service caused or contributed to their deaths.

The review also says that public authorities need cultural change to stop what it calls the "burning injustice" in the way bereaved relatives are treated following a tragedy.

A review by the former Bishop of Liverpool into the way bereaved relatives of the 96 Hillsborough disaster victims were treated sets out 25 "essential" learning points.

In his report, titled The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Power, Bishop James Jones calls for the establishment of a charter for families bereaved by public tragedy, publicly-funded legal representation for families at inquests where public bodies are represented, and a "duty of candour" for police officers.

Bishop James says: "I suggest that the way in which families bereaved through public tragedy are treated by those in authority is in itself a burning injustice which must be addressed."

Some of the issues faced by the Hillsborough families in the aftermath of the tragedy, which took place in Sheffield on 15 April 1989, still persist, he adds.

"The experience of the Hillsborough families demonstrates the need for a substantial change in the culture of public bodies," says Bishop James.

Cultural change is needed by public authorities to stop the "burning injustice" in the way bereaved relatives are treated following a tragedy, a report on the experiences of the families of the Hillsborough disaster has found.

The Home Office review, by Bishop James Jones, was commissioned following the inquests into the deaths of 96 Liverpool FC fans at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield.

The inquests found they were unlawfully killed and errors by the police and ambulance service caused or contributed to their deaths.

In his new report, Bishop James says: "What is needed is a change in attitude, culture, heart and mind.

"To bring this about, I first ask that those in positions of leadership listen seriously to the experiences of the Hillsborough families described in this report."

According to our top engineers (they have a GCSE in applied science), an area of high pressure which can sometimes cause signals from distant transmitters to travel further is causing interference.

They say there's "no solution to this natural interference and broadcasters cannot prevent it".

We're assured that once the high pressure moves on, everything will return to normal over the next 24 hours.

The charity said the attacks were recorded on raptors, including red kites, peregrine falcons and buzzards, which were shot, trapped or poisoned between 2012 and 2016.

A report into a railway accident in North Yorkshire which damaged a train, trolleys, sleepers and track has been released by The Rail Accident Investigation Branch.

The incident on the Settle Junction to Carnforth line, in August this year, happened when a passenger train hit three engineering trolleys. No staff, passengers or crew were injured.

The report says the train struck the trolleys because "the controller of site safety had an incorrect understanding of which of the two lines was the down line, when he handed it back to the protection controller."

A track worker attempted to warn the train driver, by signalling with his arms. The driver managed to reduce the speed of the train to 34 mph (55 km/h) at the point of collision.

One trolley and several sleepers became wedged underneath the front of the train and the train came to a stop 108 metres beyond the point of collision, the report said.

Travelodge claims such a move would create jobs and improve the local economy.

We have contacted both councils for comment and are waiting to hear back.

A scheme by a restaurant to feed homeless and vulnerable people in Sheffield is facing an uncertain future because of physical and verbal abuse.

Staff at Nourish, a healthy fast food restaurant on Pinstone Street, say they've been subjected to abuse by the people they're trying to help.

Until recently, The Pay it Forward initiative had been hugely successful, providing upwards of 4,000 free meals for homeless people in Sheffield.

But the manager, Joe Parker, says some of those who benefit from the scheme are taking advantage of it:
