Home Office figures show people in Sheffield are more likely to carry a knife than anywhere else in Yorkshire.

Det Supt Una Jennings says those figures need to be put into context, adding it's not necessarily that more people are carrying knives, but police officers are better at finding them.

She says: "If we have a conversion rate of all the people we stop and search and we find that 30% are carrying weapons, then clearly we're stopping the right people."

A team of four men from Yorkshire are preparing to compete in a race across the Atlantic, hoping to replicate the seafaring success of a team of York mums.

Three members of the Row 4 Victory team are servicemen and they're raising money for military charities to mark 100 years since the end of World War One.

They're due to start the challenge in December in La Gomera in the Canaries and plan to row 3,000 miles to English Harbour in Antigua.

Since June 2018, the council has issued £15,000 worth of fines to shisha bars across Sheffield for breaking a ban on smoking indoors.

The authority now wants to take further action by starting a campaign called "Think It's Safe?" through which it hopes to target young men in particular through social media and leafleting.

Greg Fell, director of public health in Sheffield, said there are many misconceptions about shisha.

"Some people thinking that it's safer to smoke than traditional cigarettes," says Mr Fell.

The World Health Organisation said smoking shisha, also known as hookah, for one hour is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes, Mr Fell added.
