Bernard McGuin is returning to local politics after a two-month suspension, which followed complaints tweets he made in 2014 prior to his election were racist.

The council's Conservative Group leader Councillor David Hall said an internal party investigation had decided Mr McGuin had not breached any rules or intended to give offence, and therefore his suspension was rescinded.

Mr Hall said: "He has accepted that we must be careful when using social media, not to write anything which may unintentionally cause offence and I think that is good advice to everyone."

Mr McGuin, 60, who was elected in 2016 to represent the Almondbury ward, said: "A thing like this is really upsetting.

"I know I'm not a racist - If people thought I was that would be devastating for me."

It's been revealed human traffickers had branded a female victim found during a series of police raids in West Yorkshire.

Two teenage boys were also rescued during the four day operation, details of which have only just been made public.

Detectives from Calderdale CID led the raids last week on eight commercial premises across the district.

The teenagers, both aged 17, were found in two stores.

Neither has any parents or relatives in the UK and it is thought they may have been brought into the country in the back of trucks.

They are being cared for by social services.

Officers questioned 36 members of staff and arrested five on suspicion of being in the UK illegally.

Police have released CCTV images after a man fired a gun at a house in Doncaster, in what is thought to have been a targeted attack.

It happened at about 22:30 on Sunday 10 June, with video showing a man pulling up outside a house on Central Drive, Rossington, before firing a gun at the window.

A 36-year-old man was arrested by officers on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Police are hoping the images will encourage witnesses to come forward:

Jared O'Mara has already spent more time being an independent MP than he has a Labour one, so perhaps this has encouraged him to think that he can go it alone.

After all, he says he's "experienced little to make me feel welcome, understood and accepted" in the Labour Party.

But without the Labour machine behind him Parliament will be a lonely place.

No Labour Party colleagues, volunteers, or press office.

Local Labour members who once pounded the streets to campaign for his election, will now be the opposition.

Mr O'Mara is now in a unique position.

Possibly the first autistic MP in history, he also has cerebral palsy, and openly admits to suffering from clinical depression and anxiety.

Questions have been raised about his ability to cope in the job, and whether he can last until 2022.

But should his disabilities and mental health problems preclude him from representing the people of Hallam?

Protests are expected across the country today against the visit of President Trump.

The #BringTheNoise Women's March will start at 11:00 in central London and up to 3,000 people are expected to gather in Glasgow's George Square to protest.

Graham Martin is organising a protest against president Trump's visit in York.

He says the visit "reflects badly" on the UK:

Proposals by the University of Leeds for the six-storey structure are deferred by the council.

Campaigners say disabled people have been ignored after a Lotto grant of more than £3m was given to Sheffield's General Cemetery, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Sheffield City Council says the cash will complete major restoration work at the Sharrow site, conserving heritage and improving facilities and access.

Objectors say they are opposed to disabled parking spaces being created in the grounds, and that the cash is a smokescreen as it will not help with ongoing funding problems.

Joy Bullivant, from Save Our Open Green Spaces, said she isn't happy about the news.

"The plans for the new car park are going to block disabled access - it's supposed to be improving disabled access but it won't.

"There's been no consultation and it's being steamrollered through against the wishes of the local heritage community. I was totally ignored, as were a lot of disabled people."

"I really like the General Cemetery but this is a really bad idea.

"It's going to ruin the cemetery."

Officials in Leeds are issuing new advice on what to do if the city floods despite the recent warm weather.

The city council says people need to be aware, because: "Hardened ground becomes increasingly vulnerable to the impact of sudden summer storms when the weather changes."

They say the public and businesses should think about how they could protect themselves should flooding suddenly hit the city again.

The council's drawn-up a list of priority situations where sandbags would be provided so that roads, hospitals and other crucial areas can be protected.

CCTV images have been released after a 37-year-old man was seriously injured in an attack in a Doncaster town centre bar last month.

The victim was attacked inside Flares in Hall Gate, Doncaster, and was then attacked again in the street outside the bar.

It happened at about 23:35 on Thursday 28 June, following the England versus Belgium World Cup game.

Police have appealed for witnesses and believe the men pictured have vital information.

A West Yorkshire School is hoping to be the toast of the town after it attempts to raise some dough today with a giant record-breaking attempt.

Ryburn Valley High in Calderdale is hoping to create the world's largest picture made out of toast, which currently stands at 174 sq metres.

They'll use over 13,000 slices of bread and 756 loaves of bread, while raising money for children's cancer and assistance dog charities.

The image, designed by a student, will be toasted to six different shades of brown.

There's been a compromise over extending an injunction against campaigners fighting tree felling in Sheffield, according to the city council.

The council wanted to extend an injunction which would've prevented protestors entering safety zones around trees being felled for three years.

At a court hearing yesterday, the council agreed the new injunction will last 18 months, until January 2020, not three years and will allow peaceful protest as negotiated.

The judge said defendants were "justified in declining to sign" the original proposal.

More than a dozen campaigners had been written to by the council asking them to sign the injunction or face being taken to court for costs.

Thousands of trees have been felled in Sheffield as part of the council's 25 year £2bn Streets Ahead project.

The council says only trees that are diseased, damaging or dangerous are being removed and they are then replaced with saplings.

But campaigners say many are felled because their roots are in the way of resurfacing methods.

A school is attempting to tackle the issue of forced marriages by urging students to hide spoons in their underwear to trigger metal detectors at airports.

Pupils at the Co-operative Academy in Leeds have been told to hide the cutlery there, if they fear they're being taken overseas to be married.

It will trigger metal detectors at airports, allowing them to raise the alarm with security staff privately.

Harinder Kaur, from the school, said the spoons can "save lives".

She said: "In the six-weeks holidays we know there is no contact between school and the family and families have the opportunity to go abroad, get their child married and come back," she said.

A law making it a criminal offence to force people into marriage came into effect in June 2014.

This morning it will be mainly dry, but rather cloudy with the chance of the odd shower.

Through the afternoon there will be spells of sunshine, but also the chance of a few sharp showers.

It'll be mainly dry through tonight with clear periods.
