Lloyds Banking Group is to close 49 branches, including six in Yorkshire, and is to axe almost 100 jobs in a move unions have branded as "unnecessary".

Branches under the Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Lloyds brands will be affected, resulting in 99 job losses across the UK.

The Halifax Bank in Guiseley, Leeds, is to close as well as branches of Lloyds Bank in Ripon in North Yorkshire, Pocklington and Hornsea in East Yorkshire and Broomhill in Sheffield.

The lender said the group was embarking on the closure programme partly in response to changing customer behaviour and the declining number of transactions being made in branches.

But the Unite union said the move undermined growth and would leave more communities without access to "valued local banking".

Young girls in Sheffield are being given the chance to get hands-on with household tools such as drills in a bid to challenge the idea that certain tasks in the home are a "man's job".

The initiative, called Girls with Drills, was set up by a group of women who want to encourage more girls to go for a career in science, technology, engineering and manufacturing.

Kisha Bradley, one of the Girls with Drills organisers, says: "It's a good conversation-starter and just something small like using a drill can spark a bigger message of equality."

It happened on the A1 southbound at 05:30 and it's still closed between Barton and Scotch Corner - the driver of the lorry was left with a minor cut to his head.

North Yorkshire Police say the road will stay closed "until the early evening" because it will need to be resurfaced.

Highways England are on the scene now carrying out that work, but drivers are being told to avoid the area.

The government says they plan to fix "creaking" UK railways - and this could include reopening some rail routes lost in the infamous Beeching Report in the 60s.

The Transport Secretary says rail lines would be re-opened if they unlock jobs, encourage house building, ease congestion and offer "value for money".

Places like Ripon were cut off from the rail network completely and if you wanted to travel from York to Beverly by train - you could forget it.

Ilkley was among those earmarked for the cut - but escaped after successful lobbying by the Ilkley Rail Defence Association.

Some 4,000 miles of track was closed in the 1960s, mainly in rural areas across the UK.

A young doctor from Sheffield is due to speak to MPs in Parliament later about how a unique piece of medical technology saved her life.

Dr Fran Porter-Young, 24, was diagnosed in 2015 with the heart condition known as ARVC, external (Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy).

The condition meant that her heart would enter abnormal rhythms and fail to pump blood around the body properly.

After opting for new treatment in the form of a device called a Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator, she now wants to raise awareness of the new technology so others can benefit from it too.

The small device, which is implanted under the skin in her chest, monitors the heartbeat through a tiny wire and can deliver an electrical charge if it detects any abnormal rhythms.
