Fenn Settle, 25, was about to undergo an appendectomy at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary when he "heard beeping and people talking," he said.

It was then he realised he had come to in the operating theatre, sending him to a panic while he was unable to move.

The hospital has apologised and paid compensation.

A High Court Judge in Leeds has granted a judicial review for campaigners against proposed hospital changes in Huddersfield.

It was granted on five out of eight counts.

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust wants to close the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and replace it with a smaller 64-bed unit and move A&E services to Halifax.

The trust says the proposals are based on medical advice from clinicians.

But now campaigners have won the right for a judicial review of the decision.

A 47-year-old man has been arrested at the Kenwood Road tree felling site in Sheffield.

Police say that when workers attempted to leave the site one vehicle was unable to leave for about 45-minutes due to pedestrians in the road.

Officers say they made the arrest under the Highways Act 1980.

The tree felling is part of Sheffield City Council's £2bn Streets Ahead project, aimed at improving roads and footpaths in the city. About 5,500 trees have been cut down since 2012.

The authority, which is planting new trees after removing existing ones, insists those earmarked for felling are either "dangerous, dead, diseased, dying, damaging or discriminatory".

Campaigners argue many of the trees classed by the council as "damaging" or "discriminatory" are healthy specimens which should not be cut down, saying amendments to surrounding pavements and roads should be made instead.

Campaigners trying to save Huddersfield's A&E department have been told the plans to close it can be looked over by a judge.

More to follow.

Yesterday a group of students barricaded themselves into the University's Arts Tower in support of striking lecturers.

Kieran Maxwell, SU President said: "At this meeting, I will be raising your concerns, with the intent to bring the Arts Tower occupation to a close.

Whilst Sheffield Students’ Union does not endorse the occupation, we do still agree with many of their demands and continue to voice the strong student support for fair pensions,"

The University and College Union (UCU) is in a continuing dispute over pensions with Universities UUK, the employer organisation for universities nationwide.

We're expecting a decision in the next few minutes over the future of Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI), it's being discussed in the High Court in Leeds.

These protestors against its possible closure gathered outside.

Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust wants to close the HRI, replace it with a smaller 64-bed unit and move A&E services to Halifax.

The trust says the proposals are based on medical advice from clinicians.

But campaigners are seeking permission for a judicial review into the decision.

The MP for Rotherham, Sarah Champion, is being accused of inflaming racial tensions in the town after comments she made in the Sun newspaper last year.

In an article about grooming gangs Sarah Champion wrote that "Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls".

A survey of Rotherham's Pakistani community, carried out by charity Just Yorkshire, shows that people felt hurt and disappointed by her comments. Some people also called the comments inflammatory and cited an increase in both verbal and physical abuse.

The newspaper article led to Sarah Champion resigning as shadow equalities minister, and apologising for the poor choice of words.

The images show a silver car, which is believed to be a Honda Accord and a purple Ford Fiesta.

The two vehicles were seen travelling along Lawkholme Lane in Keighley at about 13:08 on Thursday 15 February - the same time as when the 81-year-old man came off his mobility scooter and suffered fatal head injuries.

Police say it's a possibility that the victim may have been struck by a vehicle after coming off his scooter.

Hillsborough Football Stadium, where 96 fans lost their lives in 1989, and Farfield Inn, which survived the great Sheffield flood of 1864, were chosen by judge Mary Beard in the category called 10 places for Loss & Destruction.

The latest plans for York's Castle Car Park have been revealed.

It shows an open plan space which will also be used for large scale music and theatre events and fairs.

The plan is part of bigger scheme to improve the appearance of the access to southern side of the city.

The council is looking at making alterations to the Castle Gateway, which covers the length of Piccadily, the Coppergate Shopping Centre, Clifford's Tower and the Eye of Yorkshire.

It has been consulting with the public over the past nine months to find out what changes they would like to see. 200 people attended walks, talks, and drop-in events at the end of 2017.

So what could change?

• The castle car park could be remodeled either as a public space, an event space and a car park, an underground car park, or a new building.
• St George's Field and Coach Park site could become a surface-level or multi-story car and coach park.
• The Castle Mills Car Park could turn into new apartments, or a multi-story car park.
• A new walkway along the River Foss.
• A new building at the rear of the Coppergate Shopping Centre.

It's expected that more concrete plans for the development will be publicised in the coming months.
