Ravi Saini, from Leeds, survived for more than an hour using floating advice he had remembered from a BBC TV documentary, Saving Lives at Sea..

Rescuers praised him when they found him on his back, with his arms and legs spread, shouting for help in the water near Scarborough on 31 July.

He thanked the lifeboat crew again for saving him while touring the town's RNLI base on Thursday.

He described how he had been in the water with his father and sister when he suddenly realised he was out of his depth.

"I realised I was floating and I was like, 'Help me, help me'," said Ravi.

"I was petrified and I thought that this was the end of my life," he continued.

After what felt like "five hours" at sea, he said he heard the lifeboat's engine approaching.

Lifeboat crewman Rudi Barman described Ravi as "an incredible young man" who "resisted the urge to panic".

It is likely small outbreaks will continue to occur across Bradford, public health officials say.

A Bradford mosque has closed after two people who attend it reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.

Jamia Masjid Tabligh-Ul-Islam on Toller Lane decided to shut its doors after learning of the cases today.

Bradford’s Director of Public Health, Sarah Muckle, said: “Both people who have reportedly tested positive for the virus are currently self-isolating at home to prevent the spread of infection.“As soon as the mosque was made aware of these reported cases today, it took proactive action by closing and sealing off the premises. We would like to thank the mosque management for this prompt action."

She urged anyone who had visited the mosque in the past two weeks and was displaying coronavirus symptoms to self-isolate at home and take a test.

Zulfi Karim, President of Bradford Council for Mosques, said: “Since our phased re-opening, all 120 mosques and Islamic institutions across Bradford have launched a raft of infection prevention measures to maintain a safe and welcoming environment. These have included social distancing in all areas, comprehensive cleaning, one-way systems, and hand sanitisation stations.“This mosque will remain closed temporarily, with all services suspended, as a precautionary measure. We are supporting the mosque to ensure that when it can reopen, it does so as safely as possible.”

The silver penny depicts King Stephen and is thought to be one of 25 known examples of the coin.

The owner of two dogs poisoned in the countryside says she wants "someone to be held responsible" for the death of one of her pets.

Chloe Ambler's spaniels fell ill after a walk near Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, in April.

One of the dogs died and forensic tests showed it had four pesticides in its system, which police described as the "Nidderdale cocktail".

"Absolutely devastating. You feel like you've been robbed," Ms Ambler said.

"I need someone to be held responsible because at the end of the day we've lost amazing Molly.

The poisons found in the dog included a significant quantity of bendiocarb, along with smaller quantities of chloralose, isofenphos and carbofuran.

Chloralose is licensed for use in England in a low concentration as a rodenticide, but the other three substances are banned.

Tests concluded that exposure to these pesticides most likely caused the dog's death.

A £5,000 reward has been offered by a shop owner in Pateley Bridge to find those responsible.

The combination of toxins has been linked to the deaths of three birds of prey in the area since 2016 including two red kites and a buzzard.

It said the latest figures show the infection rate has risen from 4.1 cases per 100,000 people early last week to 13.3 as of Wednesday.

The authority says mobile testing units have been set up at Kirkstall and Fearnville leisure centres and has urged anyone with symptoms to book a test at one of the other locations in Leeds.

A spokesperson said: "As part of the city’s detailed outbreak control planning, a series of targeted preventative steps are being taken in priority areas in an effort to stop further escalation of cases and to stay on top of community transmission.

"Council and public health officials are also calling for people in these communities and across Leeds to continue to play their part in keeping themselves and others safe by following the latest advice and maintaining social distancing."

Council leader Judith Blake said it was "absolutely imperative" that people in the affected areas "play their part by following the latest advice".

The authority says the measures will be "continually monitored over the coming days and further steps may need to be considered in light of new data and information".

Lockdown restrictions are already in place in three other areas of West Yorkshire; Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale, external.
