Fire crews were called out in the early hours of this morning to Armley to put out the blaze.

The incident happened at Canal Mills, in Brandon Street.

Three firefighting appliances were used to deal with the flames.

The weather is being blamed for a series of large cracks which have appeared in Scaborough's South Cliff.

A footpath's been cordoned off while consultants assess the damage. A wall has also partially collapsed.

Scarborough Council says the path might have to remain closed for six months.

Professor Rob Duck is an expert in coastal erosion.

He says the harsh winter has had a serious impact on the stability of the cliff:

Mainly dry today with a bit of sunshine thrown in for good measure.

Here are the details:

The future direction of York City Football Club could be shaped when the club's supporters' trust meets tonight.

The trust's members will vote on whether to keep their 25% share in the club, or hand it to owner Jason McGill.

He has said he's only prepared to put a further £250,000 investment into the club, if the trust hands over its shares to him.

It's potentially the biggest decision members of York City Supporters Trust will ever make.

If the vote goes against the owner, who has given financial support for 12 years, he's suggested the club will operate on a break-even figure and could be forced to go part-time.

A special edition of the BBC's Question Time is being held in Leeds this evening.

Everyone in the audience at Leeds Beckett University will be under 30.

Presenter David Dimbleby says young people are always keen to be part of the debate:

Parts of Scarborough's South Cliff area are still cordoned off today as inquiries continue into what made large cracks appear in a cliff top path.

A wall has partially collapsed and people who own chalets in the area affected have been warned to keep their distance.

The cracked footpath is likely to remain closed for some time, according to Scarborough Borough Council.

It has been forced to spend almost £1m to try to deal with the problem at the Parkwood Springs and Beighton sites.

Methane gas and a toxic liquid called leachate, which is rainwater mixed with chemicals and metals, are sinking through millions of tons of decomposing waste.

The council says the leakage has already polluted the Shire Brook and the Beighton Marshes nature reserve.

Inspectors visited the jail in Armley in October and November last year.

They say there's been no improvement in safety, respect or rehabilitation since a critical report in 2015 when standards were deteriorating.

Inspectors say this time some aspects of the jail were actually worse, such as education and training. Others, like safety, simply hadn't improved.

That is, if it's not cloudy, which it probably will be.

A plan to build more than 4,000 new homes in Sheffield in and around the city centre has made it onto a government funding shortlist.

The homes in Sheffield would be built on 34 brownfield sites.

The bid is part of the council's "brownfield first" approach that seeks to build homes on land previously used for development.

The authority will be awarded millions of pounds of extra funding for infrastructure if successful, such as improved traffic junctions and flood defences, to encourage housing development on these sites - which are often more difficult to develop.
