A pending charge against the stadium - a legal way of securing a loan - was lodged with the Land Registry on 30 September.

It means the Owls' ground, which was bought by Chansiri for £60m to try to ensure the Championship club did not breach spending rules, is at risk of being sold if repayments are not kept.

The inclusion of the profits in Wednesday's 2017-18 accounts, despite the ground being sold a year later, led to the club being deducted 12 points for the 2020-21 season.

An independent disciplinary panel found that the club were guilty of an historic breach of the Championship's profitability and sustainability rules.

Wednesday have signalled their intention to appeal against the ruling.

One of York's public health bosses say she'll be "very surprised" if the city isn't put on a national coronavirus watch list later this week.

North Yorkshire towns Scarborough and Selby are already on the list which is officially published every Friday.

Infection rates in York have doubled since a technical glitch in the national Test and Trace system saw nearly 16,000 Covid-19 cases go unreported in England.

Fiona Philips, Assistant Director for Public Health at City of York Council, says: "When the cases missing were uncovered it put us into the realms of cases doubling.

"So I'll be very surprised if we don't appear on this week's watch list."

The Secret's Out campaign is being launched today via a live stream from Hull's Castle Hill Hospital.

Its aim, according to officials, is to promote the region to a wider audience as a great place to live and work.

Those behind the drive described it as "slightly mischievous" in celebrating what the region had to offer, including being "warm and wonderful, green and gorgeous, distinctive and diverse... and almost ridiculously affordable".

Chris Long, chief executive at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Many regions claim to have a unique identity, but I have honestly never known anywhere quite like Hull and East Yorkshire.

"It constantly offers so much in a charming, funny, understated, warm and welcoming way," he said.

Officials in York expect to learn today if government scientists recommend the city being placed on the coronavirus watch list as an 'area of concern'.

City officials were concerned it would go on the list last week when the infection rate reached 61.25 cases per 100,000 population.

Although it wasn't placed on the list, yesterday the council said its rate had jumped to 114.43 cases per 100,000 as a result of a technical glitch in the national system.

Today, officials confirmed the figure was more than 140 cases per 100,000.

The council told me there is a system in place before an area is placed on the list.

Health officials are told the area is recommended to go on the list on a Tuesday, discussions take place on Wednesday and Thursday with an official public announcement on Friday.

Hundreds of families with disabled or seriously ill children are still struggling to receive support since the lockdown, a charity has said.

York-based charity Family Fund said it was having "a lasting negative impact" on the children and their families' mental wellbeing and their finances.

Five-year-old Jaxon (pictured), from Doncaster, has autism and global developmental delay.

His parents, John Haddock and Annemarie Maddison, received money from the charity to buy a tablet for their son, as well as a washing machine and dryer, but said they desperately needed support for his behaviour and mental health.

A survey of more than 2,500 families, external, conducted by the charity found up to 69% of the families contacted were "still going without" educational psychologists and various different therapies including speech and language.

Cheryl Ward, chief executive of Family Fund, said: "What concerns us most is families have struggled through the first wave of coronavirus.

"As we approach a second wave we need to ensure that when looking at services and considering financial support, that families with disabled children are considered and prioritised."

The government has been approached for a comment.

A major trial of a potential coronavirus vaccine has begun in Bradford with 500 volunteers being given the drug

Early tests showed the jab, developed by US biotechnology company Novavax, leads to high levels of virus-fighting antibodies being produced.

The Novavax jab is only the second to enter large scale trials in the UK.

Dr Dinesh Saralaya, who is leading the study, said: “This is great news for Bradford and our ‘City of Research’ that at last the vaccine trials are getting underway.

“The Novavax vaccine trial will involve 500 recruits and we are hoping to vaccinate 50 people per day – or 250 people per week."

Dr Saralaya said the key role of the trial would be to test if the vaccine provides immunity and "give us the strongest possible protection from becoming infected and unwell".

Volunteers are being given two doses of the vaccine - one on their first day and a second on day 21.

They will then be monitored for 12 months.
