The airline's decision to stop the 10 flights a week comes after reports it it was cutting up to 12,000 jobs because of a collapse in business due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement, British Airways said it was "sorry" to be suspending its flights from Leeds Bradford.

"We regularly evaluate our routes based on where our customers tell us they want to travel," it added.

The girls, aged 14 and 15, were approached by a man along a path near Wickersley Park at about 20:30 on Wednesday 20 May and subjected to "inappropriate comments", police say.

A woman who witnessed the incident spoke to the girls afterwards and officers say they want to speak to her about what happened.

Seven Hull buildings have been classed as "at risk" in the council’s latest register of listed sites in the city.

Hull City Council’s annual Listed Buildings At Risk register found four of the buildings were in a poor, very poor or ruined condition.

One is currently being restored, while another is in fair condition and one more requires repairs to preserve it for the future, according to the register.

The buildings include:

• The Strand, Brunswick Avenue
• George Lamb Memorial Chapel, Lambert Street (pictured)
• Hennebique concrete works, Caroline Street
• East Lodge, Pearson Park
• National Picture Theatre, Beverley Road
• Hydraulic Tower and Pump House, St Andrews Dock
• Castle Buildings, Castle Street

Adam Fowler, former chair of Hull Civic Society, who helped to get some of the buildings listed, says they are a crucial part of the city’s heritage.

Mr Fowler says: "These buildings are listed not just because they have local significance. They have national architectural and historical importance.

"The best way to save them is to restore them and bring them back into use. Otherwise these buildings, which some of Hull’s most precious, will continue to decay."

The peat bog blaze on Hatfield Moors near Doncaster is now 'under control', say the fire service.

Radio stations across Yorkshire are to be rebranded in a move which will create "the largest commercial radio network in the UK", a media company has announced.

Yorkshire Coast Radio, Dearne FM, and Minster FM are just some of the stations that will be rebranded as Greatest Hits Radio from September.

It follows Bauer Media buying stations owned by Lincs FM, Celador Radio and UKRD last year.

The media giant says it will now be "providing the highest listening hours of any commercial radio brand".

As part of the changes, some job roles will be "put into consultation" as some locally-made shows will stop and others produced across the county.

Dearne FM, Trax FM, Ridings FM and Rother FM will also become Greatest Hits Radio, as will Minster FM, Stray FM and Yorkshire Coast Radio.

KCFM will also become Greatest Hits Radio after a licensing agreement with their owners.

Dee Ford, from Bauer Radio, said: "Expanding the Hits Radio Brand Network will ensure listeners to these acquired stations benefit from multi-platform digital distribution meaning they can continue to broadcast in an increasingly competitive, digital and voice-activated world.

"This ensures the provision of local news and information, traffic and travel as well as access for advertisers to highly valued audiences.

"These changes do unfortunately mean that some roles will be put into consultation and freelance contracts reviewed."

Lennie Street raises more than £5,000 towards a building project at his special school in Sheffield.

Over 100 items have been chosen in an online poll to go on display at Hull's Maritime Museum - some for the very first time - once it reopens after an £11m refurbishment.

In the last three months, 200 objects have gone head-to-head and more than 9,000 votes have been cast on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the museum said.

The first round of voting finishes today after three months, but then 10 losing artefacts which received the most votes will compete for five runner-up places.

Robin Diaper, the museum's curator, said the response and level of voting had been "phenomenal".

Schools have also been involved in choosing the objects and the first, a decorated ostrich egg, was picked for display by Collingwood Primary School.

The Grade II-listed Victorian museum is due to have 50% more objects on public display when it reopens in 2024.

Work on the museum is to include opening up the top floor of the building for exhibitions.

One of its three cupolas, or domes, will also be opened to give visitors a bird's-eye view of the city centre and nearby dock.

Before that can happen, more than 50,000 exhibits - including whale skeletons - have to be safely packed away, with work on that expected to start in September.

The museum's refurbishment is part of a £30m scheme to transform some of Hull’s key maritime sites, including North End Shipyard, the trawler Arctic Corsair and the Spurn Lightship.

A woman was attacked on Victoria Terrace on 13 May and her handbag was stolen, police say.

The robbery happened at about 12:30 after the 25-year-old female victim was approached from behind by a man as she walked down the hill towards Belle Vue Road.

The attacker left in a waiting car with the bag which contained an Apple laptop and an amount of cash, police say.

Anyone who recognises the man in the image or who witnessed the incident is being urged to contact police.

Firefighters tackling a blaze on Hatfield Moors in Doncaster say there's some "heartwarming" news among the devastation.

The blaze has been burning since Sunday 17 May, with crews from South Yorkshire and the Humber region still tackling it, along with a helicopter which has been dropping water onto the moor.

Yesterday, one of the firefighters writing on social media, external described the moment he found some tiny signs of life, in the form of newly-hatched blue tits.

Andrew Sullivan said: "White Watch came across three of these chicks today in a burnt out area of woodland at Hatfield Moors.

"We carefully moved them to a safe area and watched while they (sort of) flew away, stop-starting and following calls from their mother."

From the Housemartins' rendition of Caravan of Love to Everything But The Girl's 90s smash-hit And I Miss You, people living East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire are being asked to choose their "Humber Anthem" for a new BBC project.

Presenter Kofi Smiles said: “East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire has produced some phenomenal musicians, from the likes of Everything But the Girl to the Beautiful South.

"We’re sure to get plenty of nominations for tunes by them, but this is about the song that most says Humber to you. Let’s find out once and for all: what is the anthem of Humber?”

Nominations run from today until midday today and the finished song will be played two weeks later on the BBC Radio Humberside Breakfast Show.

Joyce Richardson, from Thirsk, who served in the Women's Land Army during World War Two, nearly lost the use of her legs after developing sepsis last year.

She has set herself the challenge to raise money for Herriot Hospice Homecare.

For Joyce, standing is difficult, but she wants to do it 100 times before her 100th birthday in order to raise money for the hospice.

The great-great grandmother said she wanted to thank the charity for "the wonderful support" her family received.

Mrs Richardson said: "It may not seem much to most people but, believe you me, hauling myself up out of the chair is a huge struggle every time."

A 23-year-old woman who'd been missing from her home in Scarborough has been found.

The coastguard and police helicopter were involved in the search for Rebecca Wainwright.

She was located in Scarborough yesterday evening and is "safe", police say.

Officers have thanked everyone who shared an appeal to find her on social media.

At the time John Parkin, LBA's then chief executive, said the new service would "connect Yorkshire with the world".

In a statement confirming the end of flights to Heathrow, British Airways said: “We are sorry to suspend our flights to Leeds Bradford after many years.

"We regularly evaluate our routes based on where our customers tell us they want to travel."
