    The way household waste and recycling is collected in Rotherham may be set to change.

    Rotherham Council says it's having to find savings of £42m in the next two years and proposes to alter its collections.

    Under the plans, general waste would be collected twice a month and cans, bottles, cardboard and paper for recycling would be collected just once a month.

    A charge would also be introduced for local residents who want their garden waste to be collected all year round.

  7. LGBT Asians turning to marriages of conveniencepublished at 07:00 Greenwich Mean Time 8 November 2017

    The number of LGBT people from South Asian communities going online to find gay partners of the opposite sex for sham marriages is "the tip of the iceberg", a campaign group claims.

    Human rights group Karma Nirvana says those seeking marriages of convenience do so because they fear being disowned.

    Several websites help gay British Muslims advertise for marital partners.

    The BBC spoke to a gay man from Leeds who had a marriage of convenience with a lesbian for eight years.

    Khalid, not his real name, said: "I wanted my family to have the wedding that they wanted, to make them happy, to make them proud.

    "It seemed like the easy option at the time - in hindsight it wasn't." Click here for more on this story.

    Annabelle Addison, from Scarborough, hasn't been since since about 21:00 on Saturday night.

    Police believe she doesn't have any money or a phone and think she may have left with a boy on a train.

    It's thought she has links with the Leicester, Northampton, West Midlands and Merseyside areas.

    She's described as white, of slim build, fair skinned, with very dark long straight hair which is usually scrunched up.

    Annabelle speaks with a southern accent and when she was last seen she was wearing a blue jumper and a black jumper, pink Mini Mouse pyjama bottoms with grey jogging bottoms over the top, a black Superdry jacket and black and white Adidas trainers.
