There seems to be a bit of disruption on the region's rail network this afternoon.

We're looking into it to find out why:

House of Lords
Parliament

Question time is under way in the Lords, with Conservative Baroness McIntosh of Pickering asking about the number of GPs taking early retirement and the steps being taken to increase the size of the GP workforce.

She warns of a "vicious circle" in which GPs are retiring early at the same time as "fewer EU doctors are coming here" and asks how doctors from the EU will be accredited after Brexit.

Health Minister Lord O'Shaughnessy says 721 GPs took early retirement in 2016-17 but "many return to NHS work".

He tells peers the number of training places for GPs has increased but mutual certification for medics after Brexit will be a matter for negotiations.

Police are asking for people who filmed a stabbing incident in Leeds to hand over their mobile phone videos.

Three men, two aged 20 and one aged 22, were seriously injured after being stabbed outside the Leeds West Indian Centre on Laycock Place in the Sheepscar area of the city at 05:12 on Saturday morning.

A group of men suspected of carrying out the attack left in a green Mitsubishi Shogun with a registration of S862 HLG.

They are described as being of Turkish/Eastern European and black/mixed race.

A 23-year-old man from Leeds arrested yesterday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent has now been released under investigation.

The windy weather seems to have been responsible for making birds we might not usually see up close appear in the suburbs of Yorkshire.

This flock of about 150 fieldfare birds appeared in David Field's garden in Pontefract.

These large colourful thrushes usually roam the UK's countryside, particularly woodland.

David says the birds "brightened up a few difficult days" and stayed for three days until all of the berries had been stripped from the trees.

A four-year-old boy from Doncaster has shown it's never too early to do your bit for charity.

Richie Clark set a target of £400 which he'd raise by sleeping in a cardboard box in his front room on Friday night.

The cash will go to the YMCA in Doncaster for their work helping the homeless.

Police say they are growing increasingly worried about a 25-year-old man missing from Easingwold in North Yorkshire.

Thomas Cattley was last seen leaving home at 14:40 on Friday.

He was wearing a dark blue sweatshirt, dark blue jeans and a black Barbour quilted jacket. He also had grey and purple Adidas trainers with a white stripe.

It's believed he travelled by train to London, and police enquiries are also currently taking place there.

An appeal on the social media site, Facebook, to locate Thomas has been shared more than 2,500 times, and officers say they are grateful to members of the public for their assistance.

Police in Huddersfield say they're searching for a gunman after a man was shot outside a takeaway.

It happened in the early hours of this morning at Raja's takeaway on Bradford Road. A man in his 20s is in hospital in a stable condition.

West Yorkshire Police officers say the suspect they're looking for went into the takeaway and told the victim to hand over money and other items.

An argument started and the suspect pulled out a handgun and fired it.

Officers say they're looking for a white man about 5ft 8ins tall, wearing a black mask and dark coat and jeans.

Council leaders are trying to convince the government to let them make big decisions here, rather than in Westminster.

South Yorkshire is getting its own mayor, but last week, the Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said he hasn't ruled a devolution deal for the rest of the region.

An 11-month-old baby has been saved by an off-duty PCSO in Rotherham.

In the early hours of Friday, the PCSO was woken up by a woman screaming in the street that her baby wasn't breathing.

The PCSO performed CPR and was able to get the baby breathing again until an ambulance arrived.

The officer also looked after the other five children while mum and baby went to hospital.

A senior York councillor, who was sacked from the council's top team by former Conservative leader, David Carr, has been cleared of any wrongdoing.

Councillor Stuart Rawlings referred himself to the council's standards board after discovering a family member had an interest in a plot of land connected to the area's Local Plan.

The row led to David Carr, being dismissed by his own colleagues.

About 20-30 police officers are at Abbeydale Park Rise in Sheffield after protesters opposed to the council's tree-felling programme blocked the road.

The road was the centre of a row when trees were felled in December, despite being covered in Christmas lights as part of a charity fundraising campaign

BBC Radio Sheffield reporter Jenny Ells is at the scene:

Sheffield City Council, which is planting new trees after removing existing ones, insists the trees earmarked for felling are either "dangerous, dead, diseased, dying, damaging or discriminatory".

However, many of the trees classed by the council as "damaging" or "discriminatory" are healthy specimens which campaigners say should be saved.

Instead they say amendments should be made to surrounding pavements and roads.

About 130 homes in North Yorkshire are still still without power, more than 30 hours after losing their supply.

Northern Powergrid says it had hoped to have power restored to the properties in the Scrayingham area of Ryedale by 11:00, after having been without electricity since the early hours of Sunday.

Now the company says it's likely to be about 15:00 today.

More than 1,100 homes in York and across North Yorkshire were affected by power cuts over the weekend.

Shea Heeley stabbed Leonne Weeks (pictured) 28 times before hiding her body beneath an abandoned sofa in an alleyway in Dinnington, near Rotherham, in January 2017.

Sheffield Crown Court heard Heeley later told doctors: "I like that I've done it. I just do. I like killing."

Heeley, of Doe Quarry Lane, Dinnington, was jailed for a minimum of 24-and-a-half years having previously pleaded guilty to murder.

Police discovered a "crude improvised explosive device" at a house in Sheffield.
