A blind woman and her guide dog have been attacked with fireworks in a Leeds park, police say.

It happened in Hyde Park last night, with police officers tweeting to say two people thankfully helped out the victim and her dog:

Drivers are being warned to take extra care and look out for deer on dark North Yorkshire roads now the clocks have gone back.

The call has been made by Highways England, the Country Landowners' Association and The Deer Initiative.

They say there is an increased risk of collisions between deer and vehicles and drivers need to be on the lookout.

Campaigners are stepping up calls for a public inquiry into the so-called Battle of Orgreave.

The Orgreave Trust and Justice Campaign (OTJC) will hand in a letter to the Home Office later pressing for action.

In 2016, former Home Secretary Amber Rudd ruled against an inquiry into the events during the 1984-85 miners' strike.

Kate Flannery, OTJC secretary, said some documents that had been released highlighted "active government involvement" in the miners' strike.

Thousands of pickets and police officers clashed at Orgreave during the year-long miners' strike.

Police horses charged at the crowd as officers followed to make arrests.

The police said they were hit by rocks and bottles and had to react to protect themselves, however the miners said they were peacefully protesting when the police charged.

A total of 95 mineworkers were arrested, although all charges were dropped, and a number were injured.

After a chilly start to the day, temperatures will slowly rise through the afternoon, hitting highs of about 10C (50F).

The sun will appear at times, but it'll otherwise be a cloudy day.

Tonight, temperatures will be slightly milder, not dipping below 7C (45F) - so perhaps not too bad for trick-or-treating:

Rahul Mandal, who works at the University of Sheffield, triumphed over fellow finalists Kim-Joy Hewlett from Leeds and Ruby Bhogal to be crowned 2018's winner - but only after a near-disaster in the show-stopper round.

The finalists were given four-and-a-half hours to make a landscape dessert, painting a picture with cake, pastry and biscuits.

Drama ensued as Rahul created a rock garden, inspired by Victorian explorers bringing back exciting plants from around the world.

But his glass storage container smashed due to the heat in the famous white tent and after a swift clean up by producers he had to start again - with an extra 15 minutes to make up for lost time.

After being named champion, Rahul said: "I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. I just feel I need to talk with my mum."

Last Friday, officers were called after someone spotted two men "acting suspiciously" on Selby Road in Garforth.

The men had abandoned a car, which it turned out had been stolen, and one man was subsequently arrested and charged with robbery.

As a result of the arrest, police say that "vehicle crime has dropped" as a result.

Commuters in Hull are being asked to consider using public transport following two days of heavy delays for drivers.

North Bridge is shut this week for resurfacing work.

It has led to long delays for drivers, because Bankside has also had to be closed because of a burst water main.

Hull City Council say the resurfacing work is a crucial part of schemes to tackle congestion, and said "the short-term pain will be worth the long-term benefits."

She said getting on the show was a "dream come true, let alone getting this far!"

Kazia Knight was fed up with Sandringham Park being plagued by anti-social behaviour, drug users and drinkers.

Friends of Sandringham Park was formed in December 2010 to try and turn things round.

Kazia became the group’s chairperson and began to organise skips and volunteers to clean up the park.

The group has subsequently held 12 events and gained six Green Flag Awards, and a Silver and Silver Gilt in the Yorkshire in Bloom awards.

She is now one of 30 finalists in the the Community Leader of the Year category in the Groundwork Community Awards.

The ceremony takes place in London next month.

Staff at the University of Bradford will begin a three-day strike tomorrow over redundancies.

Members of Unison have said the proposed cuts, which were announced in July, are being "rushed" and have previously called on the university to pause the process.

Announcing the plan earlier this year, vice-chancellor Brian Cantor said they came as the university was experiencing a decrease in applications from the UK and as a result of changes to the government's funding arrangements.

Unison said their members would "be encouraged to attend the picket line in Halloween costume" to highlight "the horrors of the restructure and redundancy process".

The university have been contacted for a comment.

An imam who sexually assaulted a girl over a period of seven years at her home has had his jail term increased.

Mohammed Ghani, who had been a respected figure in West Yorkshire, had originally been jailed in August for two years by a judge at Leeds Crown Court.

However, the term has been increased to five years after the case was referred to the Court of Appeal.

Ghani, 65 and from Wakefield, abused the girl during "professional visits" to her home between 1997 and 2006.

This resulted in lasting emotional repercussions for the victim, who was aged under 14 at the time, the court was told.

Detectives have renewed their appeal to identify a woman who was murdered and dumped on a remote hillside in the Yorkshire Dales 14 years ago.

Her remains were discovered in a stream near Pen-y-ghent, more than a mile from the nearest road, in 2004.

The woman has never been identified, but police say they believe she may have been brought to the UK as a so-called mail order bride.

A post-mortem examination was unable to establish the cause of her death, but cold case detectives say it is likely she was killed and brought to the location where she was dumped in a 4x4.
