It's fair to say Sheffield's dialect is 'reyt' unique.

With thousands of international students now heading to the city, The University of Sheffield wanted to get them clued up on what they might expect when speaking to local students.

So as we say in South Yorkshire - Nah then duck, grab some snap, sit back, open ya lug oils and see if this is somert you can agree with:

Plans are being put forward to make Todmorden railway station more accessible.

It's one of the busiest railway stations in Calderdale, but it doesn't have good enough access for disabled users or for those with mobility problems.

People can only get onto platform two via a flight of stairs - and there's a narrow foot way leading to platform one.

A study will now be undertaken by Network Rail to examine how to improve access for everyone.

The University of Hull is trying to position itself as one of the top sport universities in the country.

It’s spending £16m on new facilities - in the hope of attracting more young athletes.

Singer songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae on why she's chosen to stay in Leeds, her home city, to live and work.

"I'm always singing in my head when I'm walking... I think the rhythm of walking is very musical. I still find it helps me to write songs so there are places I return to over and over again..."

In Living for the City, musicians take the listener on a personal tour of a city they love - exploring how buildings and street corners, train lines and park views hold stories of heartache and inspiration as they project their inner worlds onto the canvas of the city.

Corinne Bailey Rae grew up in Leeds, the eldest of three girls. In her teens, after initially starting out on the violin, a youth leader bought her a guitar and encouraged her to form a band. But it was as a solo artist that she found fame - quickly - with Put Your Records On.

Corinne takes us to Leeds Town Hall, where she first performed as a nine year old with her violin. She recalls her last gig, where family and friends were part of a huge celebration of her music. Gigs for her are now a semi-spiritual experience.

Church and faith were a huge part of Corinne's life growing up and continue to run as a thread through her work. She takes us to the bus stop which was her whole world as a teenager - waiting to get to school, to town, to church. And she reflects on the tragic death of her first husband and its impact on her music as she journeys through the city.

Corinne's profile is now so international that she spends part of each year in the United States. It can feel surreal, moving between Stevie Wonder in LA and returning to Leeds - but she always does return because her sense of belonging and identity are grounded in the city.

Labour say it will order a public inquiry into the so-called Battle of Orgreave, which took place during the 1984 miners' strike, if the party wins the next election.

The government has already ruled out an investigation into clashes between police officers and striking miners at the coking plant near Rotherham.

Speaking at Labour's annual conference in Liverpool, the Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott said an inquiry would be a priority if the party forms the next government.

"We want justice," she said.

"We'll have open inquiries into Orgreave and into the blacklisting of trade unionists."
