Orgreave: No inquiry 'difficult decision to make' says Home Secretarypublished at 14:32 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2016

Local Live, BBC Sheffield
The Home Secretary has announced this afternoon that there'll be no inquiry into events at Orgreave in 1984.
Amber Rudd said it had been a difficult decision to make and one which she had thought very carefully about.
The politician says she knows the decision will come as a significant disappointment to the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign and its supporters.

Despite the forceful accounts and arguments provided by the campaigners and former miners who were present that day, about the effect that these events have had on them, ultimately there were no deaths or wrongful convictions. The campaigners say that had the consequences of the events at Orgreave been addressed properly at the time, the tragic events at Hillsborough would never have happened five years later. That is not a conclusion which I believe can be reached with any certainty.
Amber Rudd, Home Secretary

Firefighters have rescued a 20-year-old mare called Gypsy from mud in Doncaster.
Adwick, Tankersley and Edlington crews attended the incident off Goldsmith Road, Balby at around 16.30 yesterday.
Crews worked off platforms and managed to secure a forward assist strap to the horse, despite fallen branches and vegetation making the rescue difficult.
Firefighters battled for an hour-and-a-half to free the horse, who was eventually helped back onto its feet before happily tucking into a bucket of feed.

It's the end of the consultation process tonight for controversial plans to build flood defences in Sheffield.
The plans involve building a big reservoir area in Endcliffe Park.
Councillor Bryan Lodge the Cabinet Member for Environment says they've had a good response to the online consultation and a lot of people have been attending open events where they've been able to ask questions about the proposals.
However Michelle Mullins who lives on Rustlings Road says the plan will turn the park into a swimming pool and the council needs to find an alternative solution.

Orgreave: Announcement expected this afternoonpublished at 09:36 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2016
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd is expected to announce this afternoon whether she'll commission an inquiry into the clash between police and miners at Orgreave in South Yorkshire.
It was the most violent confrontation of the 1984 miners' strike.
More than 120 officers and miners were injured, and 93 people were arrested. Campaigners claim police used excessive force and manufactured statements.
Campaigners claim there are parallels with the police cover-up over Hillsborough, which involved the same South Yorkshire force of the 1980s.
Lord Tebbit was in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet during the strike:
