A specialist Asian hornet action team wants to recruit walkers and gardeners to be on the look out for the insect, which can decimate whole colonies of honey bees.

One was spotted in Cottingham last year and it's thought it may have hitched a ride to the area on a car.

Now, it's being warned that they could come to Hull on ships from Europe.

East Yorkshire beekeper Chris Coulsen, a member of the Asian hornet action team, says: "It's a voracious killer of honey bees, it hovers outside the hive, bites the head off and takes the rest back for its young."

"Inclusion is really important to West Yorkshire Police and a vital ingredient for the future policing of our communities and I am really keen to build a more diverse workforce.”

The series will be broadcast on UKTV starting on 15 March.

The MP for Thirsk and Malton, spoke after Heidi Allen, Anna Soubry and Sarah Wollaston resigned to join an independent group, set up by former Labour MPs.

Kevin Hollinrake said the party had been divided for years over the issue of Europe, although he doesn't think the Conservatives are "generally a hard-right party".

He said: "Clearly, when you're running a minority government and you have 40 or 50 people who are hardline on a particularly issue, then you can't move that forward without taking their views into account."

Sherie North, of Harden Grove, Ravenscliffe, Bradford, and her then partner Scott Cross, 34, robbed her grandfather twice and threatened him with a hammer.

The 24-year-old admitted two counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery.

She was given a two-year suspended sentence at Bradford Crown Court in December but the case was referred by the Attorney General's office.

North was jailed for four years in her absence after Court of Appeal judges found a two-year suspended sentence was "unduly lenient".

She will begin her sentence today.

Almost £1m is to be spent on refurbishing a Barnsley crematorium to accommodate "larger coffins".

Currently, requests for some cremations at Barnsley Crematorium are being turned down because of the coffins' size, according to Barnsley Council.

Cremation equipment at the site is now to be replaced over the next two years with the new machines, known as cremators, having an increased capacity for larger coffins.

The installation of the new cremators is expected to cost about £853,000.

According to a report to Barnsley Council's ruling Cabinet: "Crucially, the newer machines have a larger capacity so are able to accommodate larger coffins, which will mitigate the current issue of having to refuse certain requests due to the size of the person being cremated, which currently means certain families are having to travel outside to neighbouring areas."
