The World Snooker Champion has appeared naked at a news conference following his victory in Sheffield.

Mark Williams had promised to strip off and speak to the press if he won the title.

Williams held John Higgins' stunning fightback in a classic Crucible final.

He won the championship for the third time - 15 years after he last won it.

This was the moment he bared all:

This will be the trial's third day at Leeds Crown Court and will see the prosecution continue to outline its case.

The boys, both aged 15, are accused of planning to target a school in Northallerton.

Both defendants deny a joint charge of conspiracy to murder between 31 December 2016 and 29 October last year.

They also deny a charge of intentionally encouraging or assisting an offence and a charge of encouraging or assisting an offence believing it would be committed.

One of the boys is also charged with the unlawful wounding of a teenage girl and another of aggravated burglary, which he denies.

Yorkshire looks set to host one another of the world's top bike races following the success of this year's Tour de Yorkshire.

The Vuelta a Espana could come to the county after the Sir Gary Verity, from Welcome to Yorkshire, confirmed: "They want to do it, we want to do it."

The race is primarily held in Spain but passes through nearby countries.

The three-week Grand Tour race was won by Britain's Chris Froome in 2017.

Yorkshire hosted the Tour de France's Grand Depart in 2014 and is set to stage the 2019 World Championships.

Not as warm as yesterday was...

Bin workers in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, could go on strike after claims of bullying and harassment - with a decision on industrial action due later.

Public sector union Unison called a ballot after hearing about issues in the workplace, including claims that workers are not being allowed to take holidays.

Paul Holmes, Kirklees Unison branch secretary, says members "don't want to be out", but he warns they're prepared to strike "longer than management can last".

Kirklees Council says it's set up a review into the service which it hopes could avoid industrial action.

Police have confirmed they're investigating the hack and have advised people to contact Action Fraud if they have concerns.

Stronger strains of cannabis are entering the market in North Yorkshire, according to a University of York academic.

Demand from users for a higher potency drug - commonly known as "skunk" - has lead people to grow super-strength strains.

The findings come as one of the county's drug support charities, Red Rose Recovery, has launched a campaign warning cannabis users to be aware of the risks attached to more potent types of the drug.
