City councillors have confirmed they'll be talking about it the scheme which could be a reality by spring this year and would initially run for 12 months in the city centre.

It would be operated by Ofo, the same firm which launched a public bike-sharing scheme in Sheffield last month.

The idea is you download an app on your phone which then gives you a code to unlock a bike - you pay per-half-hour for the use of it.

But the scheme hasn't been without controversy as people have been leaving the bikes in random places in Sheffield.

The whale learned to speak a handful of human words by copying a trainer at a marine park in France.

Here she is enjoying pleasentaries, followed by Callum Roberts, professor of marine conservation at the University of York, who says the research shows killer whales can learn to speak:

The sky above Yorkshire has a display in store tonight, with a lunar event being called the "super blue blood Moon".

The moon enters its closest point to us in its elliptical orbit.

The last time this happened was 152 years ago in 1866. As the name suggests it's several different types of moon simultaneously.

We have a super moon - these happen when a full moon is closest to the Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal.

A blue moon - which is what you call the second full moon in one month.

And a blood moon - the name given for a view of the Moon during a total lunar eclipse, because of the way light passes through the Earth's atmosphere. Red light from the Sun is reflected onto it, hence, blood moon.
