  5. Peter Kay: Disabled fan says he faced ticket 'discrimination'published at 09:55 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2017

    A man from Hull has told us disabled people are being discriminated against because they can't book gig tickets online.

    Jamie Coutts says after more than 500 phone calls and a large phone bill he still didn't manage to get tickets to see Peter Kay (pictured) at Leeds First Direct Arena.

    Standard tickets can be booked online but accessible tickets can only be booked over the phone, and that comes at an additional cost

    Peter Kay

    Leeds First Direct Arena says it has a dedicated phone line for accessible tickets which was staffed for high demand. The box office team are now in the process of calling customers who contacted them directly to assist with their bookings.

    In July, Jessica Hatchett, who has cerebral palsy, launched a campaign to get better access to live music for disabled fans.

    She said she disabled fans faced "discrimination" after finding it impossible to get tickets for an Ed Sheeran concert in Cardiff next year.

    Creativity runs in the family; his dad was the designer of the Barnsley Football Club logo.

    Neil doesn't only use coal dust, he's even worked with human and animal ashes.

    His day job is as a school teacher and during a trip to a colliery with pupils the idea came to him when he saw coal dust lying around.

    He thought "why not"...

    Abbeydale Park Rise in Sheffield has a strong tradition of putting Christmas lights on street trees.

    The switch on was due to happen for this year's effort by residents, but this morning crews have arrived to fell trees that have been designated as damaged, dangerous or diseased.

    Barriers have been erected, and a court order prevents protesters from going into felling areas around trees.

    The idea is to have a global day of people saying hello to others.

    It's meant to be a show of friendliness because usually people seem to have other things on their mind than waving to passers-by.

    South Yorkshire Police found a willing volunteer to demonstrate the idea.

  11. Yorkshiremen jailed in India 'wait for release'published at 08:32 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2017

    The six include two men from Yorkshire: Nicholas Simpson from Catterick in North Yorkshire and Paul Towers from Pocklington.

    In 2013 they were working as security guards on ships to combat piracy in the Indian Ocean, but they were arrested and jailed for taking weapons into Indian waters without permission.

    They have always denied the charges and their families have campaigned to get them released after they were sentenced to five years in jail.

    Their latest appeal ended yesterday.

    The families understand they'll receive a judgement next Monday.

  13. Listen: Rotherham sex abuse - ministers 'not doing enough'published at 07:49 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2017

    The government has agreed to hold talks about Rotherham's child sexual exploitation scandal.

  14. Big increase in fatal crashes in North Yorkshirepublished at 07:35 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2017

    There's been a big increase in fatal and serious road crashes in North Yorkshire, according to research by the Road Safety Foundation.

    CarImage source, North Yorkshire Police

    It's up by 21% over the last two years and puts the region's roads among the worst in the UK.

    Only yesterday two women in their 80s died after their car crashed into tree near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales.

    The figures are released as a petition calling for funds to close the gaps on the A19 in North Yorkshire has been signed by nearly 2,000 people in just a few days.

  15. Could there be protection for Leeds' green belt?published at 07:15 Greenwich Mean Time 21 November 2017

    Thirty three greenbelt sites around Leeds could be protected from house building, as the council reconsiders its targets for creating new homes.

    The sites including Horsforth, Yeadon and Guiseley, could have accommodated more than 6,400 homes.

    LeedsImage source, Google

    Leeds City Council's development plans panel meets this evening and panel members will be asked to agree to start a public consultation over whether the 33 sites should be protected from house building.

    If that consultation is agreed, removing them would have to be approved by the council's executive board, 99 councillors and the public.

    If that happens, the housing part of the site allocations plan would be put before government inspectors, then Leeds's house-building target could be reduced from 66,000 - something green belt campaigners and opposition councillors have been keen to see.
