Arrests were made at 13 addresses in the district as a result of the operation which involved a specialist team, according to West Yorkshire Police.

The arrested men, aged between 22 and 65, have all been released under investigation while inquiries continue, the force says.

Mobile phones and 60 computers were also seized by officers during the operation.

Det Ch Insp Alan Weekes, from Bradford’s Safeguarding Unit, said: "This operation shows our ongoing commitment to tackle child sexual exploitation across the Bradford District.

“Tackling child abuse and protecting the vulnerable is not something that any one agency can do in isolation, which is why we work closely with partner organisations and charities to support victims, bring offenders to justice and make our communities safer and feel safer."

Developer EA Sports said it wasn't able to create Elland Road in time for the game's launch due to the delayed end to the previous season.

One fan said the absence "might end up costing them a fair bit in sales".

Another Leeds supporter shared a photo of him cancelling his pre-order, writing: "No Elland Road, no Fifa 21. Come back to me EA Sports when you sort your lives out."

Fulham and West Bromwich Albion, who were promoted alongside Leeds, will have their stadiums immediately included in Fifa 21 as they already feature on previous instalments of the franchise.

EA Sports said it was committed to resolving the issue in a future update and said the new game featured five new stadiums "with a sixth to come".

A spokesperson said: "While the later-than-planned end to the 2019-20 season meant we weren't able to recreate Elland Road in an EA Sports Fifa game for the first time ever in time for the launch of Fifa 21, we are committed to giving fans the chance to play in all 20 Premier League stadiums and will provide more news on post-launch updates in the future."

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after two men were shot at while riding a moped in Sheffield earlier this month.

It happened at about 14:50 on Sunday 13 September on Firshill Crescent, police say.

It's thought two men were on a moped when they were shot at. The suspects, also believed to be male, then ran in the direction of Orphanage Road.

Despite a search of the area, police couldn't identify the suspects or the victims of the shootings.

Evidence of a gun being fired was found nearby, South Yorkshire Police added.

Anybody who saw the incident, or knows who is involved, is asked to get in touch with the force.

The popularity of home-working during the Covid-19 pandemic could see a council selling more of its buildings quicker than planned, an official has said.

Leeds City Council had said in January it was looking to generate £95m through the sale of buildings.

Martin Farrington, director of city development, said home-working had "become a necessity on a very significant scale" due to the pandemic.

Previously 800 staff worked at home, but that figure is now 8,000, he said.

In a report to the council, Mr Farrington said fewer workers in offices could result in the authority being able to sell more of its buildings to generate extra cash.

A report which went before councillors in January 2020, claimed the authority expected to raise about £95m by selling dozens of sites across the city between 2019 and 2022.

A separate report set to go before councillors later believes about 50% of council-run offices are also likely to be sold off in the coming years.

Two South Yorkshire police officers who tackled a gunman during a chase in Sheffield have been nominated for a national police bravery award.

PC Emma Rae (left) was patrolling Ecclesall Road in January when it was reported a man had been seen with a gun, possibly firing a shot and then "pistol whipping" a victim.

The suspect got into a taxi and was followed by PC Rae out of the city centre.

The taxi stopped with the suspect getting out, paying the driver, and then running away while being chased by the officer.

He ran into PC Karen Gunnill at Ponderosa Park who drew her Taser after seeing the man reaching for his waistband.

Firing the Taser, the armed suspect was arrested. A knife was found on him after he ditched the imitation air weapon before the arrest.

South Yorkshire Police Federation Chairman Steve Kent said: “As far as our colleagues knew, this man was carrying a firearm and had already inflicted an injury on a member of the public.

“They are police officers, though. And they carried on towards that danger with one thought in their minds: to protect the public from this dangerous individual.

“The officers knew he had to be detained as soon as possible and showed incredible determination and bravery to get the job done. We are very proud of them both.”

As a result, Trinity have been forced to stand down a further seven players.

However, their Super League game against Wigan Warriors on Friday is still due to go ahead.

"We spoke about potentially locking ourselves down for four or five days to get rid of the virus that is lingering around the players," Chester (pictured) said.

"It would give us chance to have a look at the training aspect and to give this place a real deep clean.

"If that's what it takes, then that's what we're going to have to do and fingers crossed that works for us."

After the positive results and standing down other players, Chester only has a squad of 17 available for the match against the Warriors at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Police were called to the property, in Hovingham Terrace, Harehills, at about 05:30 today.

The 39-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene by ambulance staff.

Humberside Police will enforce the government's new Covid-19 rules - but only as a last resort, the body which represents officers in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire has said.

From today in England, shop workers will have to wear face coverings and pubs and restaurants must close by 22:00 every night as part of the new rules.

People should also work from home where possible, only 15 people will be allowed to attend a wedding and fines for not wearing masks are to increase to £200, restrictions state.

Pete Musgrave, from the Humberside Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file police officers, says his members will continue to use an "exchange and explain approach".

He said: "We'd obviously engage those people, explain what we're doing, and only as a last resort, if we're not getting the compliance we want from those people after we've done all those things, then potentially we'd look to doing the enforce side of it with the fixed penalty notice.

"I don't see us jumping straight into enforcement straight away," he added.

At about 17:30 on Wednesday, motorists reported a "foul" smell and a white substance coming from an HGV heading south along the A19 from the Mandale area of Cleveland, police say.

The lorry, which was loaded with bulk containers of chemical products, left the A19 at Exelby Services in North Yorkshire (pictured) and emergency crews attended.

The road was closed in both directions while the spill was assessed and dealt with by specialist contractors, according to North Yorkshire Police.

The southbound carriageway was closed for about four hours, while the northbound carriageway stayed closed due to pre-planned roadworks.

The road and services were cleaned and were fully reopened at about 03:00 this morning, police say.

No-one was injured and the incident has been referred to the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency, according to the North Yorkshire force.

Jewellery owned by the musician and founder of the Leeds International Piano Competition has been sold for more than £42,000 at auction.

Pianist Dame Fanny Waterman ran the competition for more than half a century before stepping down aged 95.

Her diamond and pearl jewellery was sold for a total of £42,620 by auctioneers Bonhams on Wednesday.

Peel Park Primary School and Nursery is one of just eight schools picked by Historic England for the Champion Heritage School Award.

It's after students were taught about the history of where they lived, including learning about the statue of former Prime Minister Robert Peel in the local park.

Some pupils also visited Saltaire to learn about the significance of the Unesco World Heritage Site there and Sunny Banks Mills in Leeds.

Staff at the school also organised for World War Two veterans to speak to the children about their experiences during the war.

The school has been awarded £1,000 to help support further work with Historic England teaching students more about their heritage.

Teacher Harjyot Hayer said: “I feel it’s especially important for our children to understand their local and wider heritage, in order to strengthen their sense of identity and experience.”

Scarborough is likely to remain a coronavirus "area of concern" for at least another week, according to North Yorkshire’s director of public health.

Last week, the borough of Scarborough - as well as Selby - was added to Public Health England's watchlist due to a rise in Covid-19 cases in the area.

Dr Lincoln Sargeant says measures are being taken to address the spread of the virus but it's “prudent” to keep an eye on the area for a while longer.

Dr Sargeant says he is currently “not convinced” a lockdown will be required in Scarborough and North Yorkshire, but instead he would like to see an “interruption” to household gatherings through the so-called "rule of six".

A lockdown would be a “last resort” if infections got out of control, he adds.

Dr Sargeant says in the last seven days Scarborough’s figures have fallen below the national and local average, with 19 cases in the week up to 20 September at a rate of 17.8 cases per 100,000. North Yorkshire’s average rate is 26 and England’s currently stands at 30.6.

He adds: "In Scarborough and Selby, I think the rates are coming down and they are on the watchlist, whereas there are areas that are going up that are not, just based on the [relative] statistics.

"It is likely Scarborough and Selby will remain [as an "area of concern"] for at least another week and that is prudent, I think, to make sure the trends are, indeed, firm and they are actually stabilising and going down.”

Craven is likely to be added as an "area of concern", he adds.

A man's been arrested following "multiple reports" of indecent exposure in Hull, say police.

The man, a 35-year-old, has been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and is being held in police custody.

Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to contact police.
