Yorkshire and the Humber isn't getting its fair share of funding for train services, according to the MP for Bradford South.

In the Commons, Labour's Judith Cummins questioned why more money hadn't been allocated in last month's Budget.

She said: "The Yorkshire and Humber region was not allocated any more funding in the autumn budget as part of the Northern Powerhouse and there is clear evidence of under funding on the network across this region."

However the Northern Powerhouse Minister Jake Berry insisted the government is investing in infrastructure in the North of England.

The BBC has seen a draft document of plans to build a 30-storey tower block next to Sheffield's Central Library.

A year ago, Sheffield City Council told us it was working with a Chinese developer who wanted to convert the central library into a five star hotel.

I've seen the plans:

An elderly woman has died after she was hit by a lorry in a part of Sheffield.

It happened at 10:25 this morning on Ringinglow Road to the west of the city.

Ambulance crews pronounced the woman dead at the scene and she has not been formally identified by police.

The road was closed for about five hours. The lorry driver was not injured.

Police raised concerns that the head of a Roman Catholic boarding school tried to "control" a child sex abuse investigation, an inquiry has heard.

A former North Yorkshire detective said officers were "excluded" from inquiries at Ampleforth College in 1995 and 2002.

But former head teacher Father Leo Chamberlain denied influencing a boy's parents during a phone call in 1995.

He told the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse there had been "no skulduggery".

The Catholic Church is one of 13 public organisations being scrutinised by the inquiry, which is being headed by Prof Alexis Jay.

It happened in Roundhay on 18 November when the 57-year-old woman was walking to her car.

A grey Audi A5 pulled up and two masked men came up to her on Street Lane and kncoked her to the ground.

They tried to take rings from her fingers but couldn't, so they took a Rolex watch from her wrist and her handbag before getting back in the car and leaving.

The woman was left with injuries on her face and wrist.

The 28-year-old's exit means the world's top three are out, following defeats for Mark Selby and Ding Junhui.

Dott, the world number 30, responded magnificently after a blistering start saw Trump knock in breaks of 93 and 78.

The Scot, 40, rattled in five breaks of more than 50 to get over the line and barely missed a ball.

Last night a very mysterious and loud roaring sound could be heard across parts of north-west Leeds.

As always people took to social media:

It did sound very much like a plane landing at the airport, but went on for more than a minute - which is very long for that type of noise.

So what was it? I called Leeds Bradford Airport to find out.

This is the response I got - "it was just a routine engine test."

So now you know!

People will be asked to choose whether decision making powers should be transferred locally to the South Yorkshire based Sheffield City Region or to a wider Yorkshire proposal known as One Yorkshire.

While not legally binding, the councils say they will respect the result.

The government has repeatedly stated that a wider Yorkshire option cannot progress until the South Yorkshire deal is completed and that a Mayor for South Yorkshire will be elected next year.

The result of the community poll will be announced on the 21st December.

The BBC has seen Sheffield City Council's draft development brief for the Central Library site and it could involve a 30-storey tower block facing Arundel Gate.

There is no specific planning application at this stage, and there are a number of potential options for the site.

Last July the council announced a major deal with a Chinese construction group.

One of the ideas then was for the library to be turned into a 5-star hotel.

No new home for the central library had been decided should the scheme go ahead.

Carlo Reid says he's working with environmental health officers to improve things, but Dot Foster, a Labour Councillor for Sowerby Bridge, says it's the worst conditions she's ever seen:

If Channel 4 moves its HQ out of London Sheffield City Council wants it to relocate in the city.

A number of other cities have a similar wish, and now Sheffield is urging local filmmakers to help compile a showreel to demonstrate their talents.

It comes even though the prospect of a move out of London seemed to be lessened when the Culture secretary Karen Bradley said some of the broadcaster's operation could remain in the capital.

Two former head teachers and a former abbot of Ampleforth College are today giving evidence to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

The Inquiry is looking at the Catholic public school's safeguarding and child protection measures, and also its response to allegations of abuse.

This morning Father Leo Chamberlain, who was head at the school between 1992 to 2003, gave his evidence via video link .

The BBC's Keith Doyle has been at the inquiry and says the former headmaster told the inquiry safeguarding measures in place, were adequate at the time, but "by today's standards would need more development":
