Former Labour leader Ed Miliband says e-mail exchanges uncovered by BBC Radio Sheffield blow "a massive hole" in plans to put the HS2 rail line through his constituency. 

In July, it was revealed the route of the rail line through South Yorkshire would pass through Mexborough instead of Meadowhall.

The MP says that in his opinion the exchanges highlight that Meadowhall is the right route for all of South Yorkshire, despite Sheffield Council's opposition. 

Ed Miliband says HS2 "turned on a sixpence" in their views and said the new route wasn't "justified by the facts or the evidence".

A 1920s cinema in Sheffield is set for a new lease of life as a community venue.

The Abbeydale Picture House opened as a cinema in the 1920s and became an office furniture showroom until it closed in 1991.

Now the building is used 15 times a year for events but a new deal will enable it to be used all year round.
