Heavy rain forecast for Thursday is likely to cause problems for already flooded areas of South Yorkshire, according to the Environment Agency (EA).

Five severe flood warnings, deemed a threat to life, remain on South Yorkshire's River Don, external, with flooding in the area likely to continue until Wednesday.

There are also 21 flood warnings for South Yorkshire, external, meaning flooding is expected and 12 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible

The EA's Andrew Denville believes further downpours later in the week will only make things worse.

He says: "It looks like there'll be enough volume of rain to exacerbate the already saturated catchments.

"And the track of the storm looks like it could cause further flood impacts in these already saturated communities."

The fire service says it's received about 3,000 calls and rescued more than 200 people in the last few days.

More than 40 road closures are in place and train and tram services are affected.

The future of the mine was thrown into doubt after Sirius Minerals cancelled plans to raise £403m through a bond sale.

The company says it will now seek to raise an initial £470m by the end of March next year, to fund the construction of mineshafts and the first section of a tunnel near Whitby.

It says the the rest of the tunnel, and processing and shipping facilities at Teesside, will be deferred for between 12 and 24 months, and financed separately.

The project is set to be the world's largest mine for polyhalite, a naturally occurring fertiliser which is used in agriculture. The mine is due to open in 2021 and create more than 1,000 jobs.

The plans include a 23-mile (37km) tunnel to transport minerals to a processing plant near the former Redcar steelworks.

On a rare rainy day in Dubai, Cockroft joked that she "might as well have been in Yorkshire".

"Sub-17 felt like it was going to be next year's goal," she added.

"It still felt a little out of my league. I haven't pushed that quick ever, so I'm not sure how I just did it."
