so too in leeds, another pollution hotspot, were today we found people are concerned. i feel like it is slowly killing us. it is bad air and they should find a way to cut down and sort it. we cannot let it go because of our young people. it isjust not fair. local authorities in leeds and other cities are working on plans to tackle pollution. but they feel they're having to make all the effort. and they say national government is not helping enough. we need to ensure there is properfunding. and that they're thinking for the country as a whole and they're not just passporting this responsibility down to already stretched local authorities, expecting us to do it without that support in place. the most obvious solution is to charge the dirtiest vehicles for coming into polluted areas. but that is also the most controversial option and ministers are not keen on it. so what else can be done to cut pollution? switching away from diesels is one option. so is encouraging people onto public transport. none of this is cheap but the government now knows that the courts are watchin

at leeds university, lecturers out on the picket line. thousands of lectures have been cancelled on campuses across the uk, the message — "give us the pensions we paid into, or there will be mass disruption". we're expecting things to grant to a halt, really. forms won't be signed, classes won't be taught, research deadlines won't be met. we're likely to lose about £10,000 a year. now, vice—chancellors are earning about £250,000 to £280,000 a year, so i have questions about why the money shouldn't be coming out of their salaries and not out of our pensions. the university said a £6 billion deficit in the scheme means it's unsustainable, and could only be maintained by making cuts to jobs and research. universities say they have offered a good deal, but lecturers are not convinced. currently, we have what is called a defined benefit scheme, which means we put money in and we will definitely get a certain amount back when we retire. the defined contribution scheme which is being offered means that what we end up with in the pot will

ground, snow wasn't such a problem but the freezing temperatures were to stop these homeless men in leeds from have a cat shelter even this weather. i got nowhere to go. nowhere to live. were to go. so it's all about survival. i'm out in the cold and nobody helps you because people stay. the last 24 hours of snowfall has been patchy. well—versed plans have been implemented to keep rooms open as this late blast of winter continues. that was danny savage and robert hall reporting. you'll find lots of information on the disruption on rail and roads as well as the latest forecasts on the bbc website. bbc.co.uk/news is the address. downing street has ruled out any return to a "hard border" between northern ireland and the republic after brexit. it comes after the leak of a letter from the foreign secretary borisjohnson to the prime minister in which he appears to contemplate the possibility of future customs border checks after the uk leaves earlier today, the international trade secretary liam fox warned against remaining in a customs union with the eu. here'sjohn pienaar. they are the cabi

what he is here is that this, obviously he claims it betrays labour's supporters who voted leeds. he says is actually breaching the labour party manifesto of 2017 and putting jobs at risk by surrendering one of the chief prizes i brexit. his argument is labour may think they have found this simple solution but there is a lesson that are yet to learn. it looks like snake oil, it smells like snake oil, don't expect it to make you feel better. of course, david davis is a man who said way back when we will be signing all these deals, that leaving the eu will be very easy and he is obviously saying you cannot find a simple solution to this. that sound like he's changed his tune rather a lot. for some but, remaining ina rather a lot. for some but, remaining in a customs union which isa remaining in a customs union which is a replica of what we have currently got is not what brexit was about. who can really say what brexit is about when it was a very simple vote with very simple language describing an incredibly competent procedure? something i really wa nt competent procedure? something

this nurse in leeds says even though thousands of routine operations were postponed to help the system the pressure is intolerable. i don't know whether it's sustainable, what we do at the moment. it's how long we can maintain this professionalism and keenness and caring attitude. it won't go, but it is wondering... people will crack. some take the view that this winter's problems in hospitals are down to years of underfunding and not enough capacity to meet demand. over the last seven or eight years we've cut the number of acute beds in our hospitals which is now unfortunately chickens coming home to roost and we need to redress that balance as a matter of urgency. nice and smooth, actually, someone's looking after you well. keeping people out of hospital is the aim of this scheme. eliza is in a residential home. her carers were concerned about her condition. the team had enough time to carry out a range of checks to allow her to stay where she is. in the three—and—a—half months since it was relaunched as the seven day a week service more than 300 patients have been treated at h

so too in leeds, another pollution hotspot, where today we found people are concerned. i feel like it's slowly killing us because it's bad air and i fell like they should find a way to cut down and sort it. we can't let it go because of our young people. it'sjust not fair. local authorities in leeds and other cities are working on plans to tackle pollution, but they feel they're having to make all the effort and they say national government isn't helping enough. we need to ensure that there's properfunding and that they're thinking for the country as a whole and they're notjust passporting this responsibility down to already stretched local authorities, expecting us to do it without that support in place. the most obvious solution is to charge the dirtiest vehicles for coming into polluted areas, but that's also the most controversial option and ministers aren't keen on it. so what else can be done to cut pollution? switching away from diesels is one option. so is encouraging people onto public transport. none of this is cheap, but the government now knows that the cour

there were victories for hull fc and the champions leeds. it was certainly "labour intensive", though, for warrington skipper chris hill, seen here on the left. he had to leave midway through the 16—12 loss to leeds because his wife went into labour. so he missed a great try from england teammate ryan hall, although he had more important things to worry about last night. kyle edmund is set to miss great britain's davis cup tie against spain, which gets under way today. he developed a hip injury during last week's australian open semi—final defeat by marin cilic and wasn't able to get over it in time. he's in marbella to support his team—mates though and could be drafted into play should his injury situation improve. i'm out here because i want to be pa rt i'm out here because i want to be part of it. it's not like... trying to put davis cup second, i always try to be ready when i can. but in one way it was a good prong because i made a deep run into the australian open. so it was a quick turnaround. they had done so well i might have b
