Jamie Nickell, 26, landed feet first on the tent in a shop doorway on Whitefriargate in the city centre while his friend filmed him on a phone.

At Hull Crown Court, Nickell, of Goldsmith Walk, Lincoln, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm to one of the men in the tent who suffered a minor injury to his knee.

Sentencing Nickell to four months in prison, Judge Mark Bury said: "There are too many homeless people in our society these days. They do not need to be treated in this way."

The judge heard how the pair were drunk after travelling to Hull to go to a concert on November 30 last year.

Earlier this week, Jake Mann, 29, also of Goldsmith Walk, was jailed for 14 weeks after filming the attack.

More than 300 children have taken part in the School Strike for Climate protest in Sheffield, the majority skipping school to attend.

They gathered outside the city's town hall with placards bearing slogans like "The oceans are rising and so are we" and "I missed PE for this".

As the crowd chanted "There is no planet B", pupil after pupil took to the steps to deliver their message and show their support.

One quoted Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager credited with sparking these events - and Nelson Mandela, while another led a rendition of Bob Marley's One Love.

Among the crowd was nine-year-old Ivy, from Sheffield.

She said: "I'm here because I do not want the world to end and I do not want all the creatures to die.

"We're the next generation so we need to do this."

Mr Stewart gave himself a year from August 2018 to improve conditions in a total of 10 prisons.

Six of those are in Yorkshire:

• Leeds
• Hull
• Humber
• Lindholme
• Moorland
• Wealstun

Mr Stewart said: "I wouldn't have put my job on the line unless I was confident we can do it.

"In those 10 prisons, violence has been rising steadily month on month for five years, so turning that around and bringing it down is going to be a challenge."

Demonstrations across the country have been organised by youth climate change groups.

The campaign has been inspired by 15-year-old Swedish student Greta Thunberg, who has been skipping school every Friday to protest outside the Swedish parliament.

Sheffield student Charlie, 16, said those taking part hoped the government would do more to raise awareness.

He said: "I think they could and should be going above and beyond to raise awareness particularly for big companies that operate in Britain about how they can go about running their businesses in a sustainable way."

Food producer Heck have already received the go-ahead for a £4m expansion of its factory, in Kirklington, near Bedale, North Yorkshire, which would include a new visitor centre.

It had hoped EU grants would be able to help support the development.

The company currently employs 120 staff, of which 85 are from Europe, now hopes to raise money for the scheme by expanding into Ireland and selling vegan sausages to Australia.

Jamie Keeble, co-founder of Heck Food, said: "After losing out on EU funding because of Brexit we will have to fund our sausage world out of cash so are ramping up our international exports."

He said Brexit was "creating huge uncertainty" and the support for small food companies "has all disappeared down the Brexit plug hole".
