Robbie Cumming demonstrates how to rescue a grounded narrowboat.

A narrowboat like Robbie's uses thousands of gallons of water working the locks on the Rochdale Canal which runs for 32 miles through 91 broad locks.

At Gauxholme in West Yorkshire Robbie has to 'jump ship' as his boat runs aground. Reservoirs were built to feed this thirsty canal - however sometimes lock pounds leak and run out of water.

His narrowboat Naughty Lass is left balancing on an uneven canal bed and could potentially tip over. It's his worst nightmare.

Will he be able to release more water and re-float his boat?

The team identified a protein in bone marrow which was found to encourage cancer cells to form tumours when they reach the bone.

Researchers at the University of Sheffield and the University of Manchester then found this protein could be blocked by using a drug currently used to treat arthritis.

Tests on mice found this molecule can be blocked by the drug, which is already available on the NHS.

The Conservative general election candidate for Leeds North East has been suspended by the party for making anti-Semitic comments.

Amjad Bashir, former UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and Humber, made the remarks in 2014.

On Monday, Mr Bashir apologised for comments he made during a European Parliament debate on Gaza, but today the Conservative Party has suspended him as its candidate.

The party sent us a short statement saying: "Mr Bashir has been suspended from the party pending an investigation and election support has been withdrawn."

What that means is he won't be getting any visits from party figures and the party's effectively keeping its distance from him.
