Police want to speak to a woman who is said to have approached a mother's pram while she was distracted by a dog in East Yorkshire.

The young mother was sitting on a bench on the disused railway line near Market Weighton at about 17:20 on Tuesday when an older woman approached the pram.

When challenged by the mother, she walked away and police now want to speak to her to establish what happened.

The woman is described as 5ft 6ins tall, of slim build, with grey hair and wearing a purple body warmer, trousers and walking boots.

Team Roompot-Charles rider Jesper Asselman has clinched victory on day one of the Tour de Yorkshire.

Stage one of the men's race saw the riders take on a 113 mile route from Doncaster to Selby.

A court heard the 16-year-old from Bradford had researched bomb-making and made a device that could have been a "viable C02 bomb".

He was convicted of making an explosive substance and three counts of having a document useful to someone committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

The boy will be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court next month.

He was cleared of a more serious offence of making an explosive substance with intent.

East Riding Council said the woman, who has not been named, posted on Facebook Marketplace asking for her garden shed to be dismantled and taken away along with other waste.

She paid an unknown man £90 to do the job but the waste was later found dumped just off the A165 between Skirlaugh and Coniston on 9 April.

An council investigation found evidence linking the rubbish to the woman.

She was fined £300, reduced to £200 for early repayment, after admitting failing in her duty of care by not checking she was using an authorised waste carrier, failing to ask for a receipt and for not taking the man’s details.

The rain has stopped in Selby which is good news for riders.

Supporters have their hoods down and cheers at the ready.

Cyclists are to finish stage one at the town in roughly an hour:

Network Rail said on one occasion trespassers climbed on top of a freight wagon beneath overhead power lines carrying up to 25,000 volts.

Dawn Sweeting, Community Safety Manager for Network Rail, said: “Trespassing on the railway is incredibly dangerous.

“The railway is not a playground and people need to treat it with the respect it deserves.

"Sadly, we have seen too many times the tragic consequences of children ignoring the warnings and taking risks that have resulted in terrible injuries or death."

So today's weather has been soggy to say the least.

So what can we expect on Friday? Well pretty much more of the same according to Paul Hudson's weather forecast.

One Hull woman, Frida Knight, also served as an ambulance driver during the conflict which took place between 1936 and 1939.

The exhibition, at Hull History Centre, runs until 6 July, with a series of free events planned.

And the caravan is now in Elvington...and with the caravan has come the rain!

Luckily the weather hasn't put off fans, who are smiling, gathering and getting ready to wave their flags.

The wellies were perhaps a good decision after seeing today's weather forecast!

The Team Ineos bus was the focus of anti-fracking protests in Doncaster earlier today.

The company's involvement has been met with opposition from campaigners who say the use of fracking to extract shale gas is harmful to the environment.

Ineos boss, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has called the government's attitude to fracking for gas "pathetic", accusing ministers of listening to a vocal minority rather than looking at the science.
