Police officers in Doncaster town centre have had to smash a window to rescue a dog which had been left in a warm car.

Officers from Doncaster Central Neighbourhood Policing team said they had two separate reports of animals being left in vehicles today.

In the first incident, the owners were found a short distance away.

However, the second incident saw officers having to smash the car's window after the owners couldn't be found.

The dog "is now being cared for by officers", the force said.

The F-15C, from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, crashed into the North Sea at about 09:40 this morning.

Humber Coastguard says it has since been coordinating the search, focusing around an area 74 nautical miles off Flamborough Head.

The Humberside-based HM Coastguard helicopter is working with other aircraft in the area.

RNLI lifeboats from Bridlington and Scarborough continue to assist with the search along with other vessels, the coastguard said.

It added: "The search is ongoing and we have no further information."

A crowd of up to 200 people was moved on from the statue of famous explorer Captain Cook in Whitby at the weekend.

Members of the group claimed they were guarding the statue due to the debate surrounding public monuments and links to racism and colonialism.

North Yorkshire Police said it had no reports of any direct threat to the statue, which is on the town's West Cliff.

A Facebook group set up to protect the statue has so far attracted about 3,000 members.

Mike Clarkson, one of the founders, said there had been some graffiti on the statue recently which had prompted people to act.

He said: "Whitby is a close-knit community and someone coming here and desecrating the statue, it's something they would not want to happen."

Acknowledged as one of the world's greatest explorers, Captain James Cook, who trained in Whitby, arrived in New Zealand in October 1769 and Australia in April 1770.

Cook's explorations helped chart the Pacific Ocean, but many Aboriginal and Maori people believe they also led to colonialism and had a detrimental effect on indigenous people.

As thousands of people head back to high streets across the country for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic started, I've been speaking to shoppers in Leeds.

Towns and city centres have adapted to the so-called "new normal" with queuing areas and social-distancing markers to try and keep people safe as they shop.

Bertran Hardy and Lauryn Wiley (pictured above), both 18, have been out shopping in Leeds today while trying to maintain social distance from each other.

"How they’ve done it is really [good], how everything is socially distanced,” Bertran said of the re-opened stores.

“I like that all the shops have got hand sanitiser. It think it’s good to get the economy going again.”

Lauryn added that the pair have “avoided the queues” by shopping at quieter retailers.

Bertran also says he now feels less worried about coronavirus than he did at the beginning of lockdown.

“As the measures have become less strict, everyone’s forgotten about it and it’s now less of a worry," he said.

Meanwhile, Walter Mosley (pictured above), 53, says he has been struggling with his mental health during lockdown so thinks that re-opening is a “fantastic idea”.

“People need social contact, people need people," he added.

Search and rescue teams have found aircraft wreckage close to the reported site of the US Air Force plane which crashed in the North Sea off East Yorkshire this morning.

The F-15C Eagle, based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, crashed shortly after 09:30 while on a training mission about 74 nautical miles off Flamborough head.

The cause of the crash is still unknown and rescue teams - including RNLI crews from Bridlington and Scarborough - are continuing their search for the pilot.

When a fast jet pilot ejects from an aircraft, that normally activates a personal location beacon attached to the life jacket.

It's still not known whether the pilot managed to eject from the plane

This is in line with new World Health Organization (WHO) advice. It says non-medical face coverings should be worn in public where social distancing is not possible.

Anyone travelling by bus, train, ferry or plane in England should wear a face covering, external from Monday - to help reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission.

The new rules, external coincide with a further easing of lockdown - including the return to class of some secondary school pupils and the reopening of non-essential shops.

Many shops closed in March, but with a change in restrictions from the government, some non-essential stores were allowed to reopen:

As non-essential retailers reopen across England, questions remain about how shoppers will access toilets as restaurants are still shut and many public facilities remain closed.

The government has urged councils to open public toilets "wherever possible", and while many have plans in place, there are also areas where facilities will not be available.

Some councils we've heard from on this are:

• Birmingham - where toilets will not open until next month
• Liverpool - where a "limited number" of public loos are available
• Westminster - where all facilities excluding Broadwick Street and Soho are open
• York - where all facilities are open

A spokesman for the Local Government Association said: "Councils will be taking individual local decisions about public toilets based on a risk assessment and whether social distancing measures can be maintained."

Tony Skingle said he had been working with police and was "gutted" to have to cancel the show.

Data from MarineTraffic - a website that tracks ships and vessels using GPS - shows that an RNLI lifeboat is on its way to the scene of the crashed US fighter jet.

The search and rescue crew from Scarborough were deployed at 09:20, according to data on the website.
