west yorkshire police say their investigation involves liaising with the gas supplier, local councils. six of houses were evacuated. the shock was palpable. we saw people jumping out of the house, literally, there was no front of the house and from the top floor, i could see it had collapsed and i saw someone jumping out. i heard people saying, get the old lady up who lives next door, and they managed to get her out and i saw them carrying her over their shoulder. it was like something out ofa shoulder. it was like something out of a horror story. as i opened my door at the back, the flames were coming all along. we've all been evacuated in the immediate area to make sure it is safe before we can go back. it was an explosion that was felt by everyone living in this neighbourhood here in halifax, and as you can see behind me, emergency services are continuing to extinguish any small fires that might appear. the family affected oui’ might appear. the family affected our thankfully saved and currently in hospital being treated with minor injuries. whilst investigations continue into the

the yorkshire post claims leeds could move down from tier 3 to tier 2 covid restrictions this week —kely to remain under the tightest restrictions. news of a new coronavirus variant is the top story for the metro — the health secretary says it's possible the variant is driving the rise in cases in south east england — but he did say there's no evidence to suggest the variant makes vaccines ineffective, or the disease worse. and the i says the surge in covid infections in the south means the prime minister is being urged to re—think the easing of measures over christmas. so let's begin... let's ta ke let's take off with the telegraph. i just wanted to compare the telegraph and the metro front pages because some virologists have accused the government of releasing this new information about the new variant is a way perhaps of masking tier 3 but without going into too much detail. it is interesting to see how different papers respond to that. quite a sober right through in the telegraph without picture there. did that strike you, as well? telegraph without picture there. did that strike

yorkshire post which we will not look at this time, but to put it blu ntly, look at this time, but totively cancels christmas for almost 80 million people on saturday night. however you look at it, from the government point of view, this is not the front page is the government would've wanted this weekend, and indeed of the beginning of christmas week. no, absolutely not. we know that the prime minister is at heart a libertarian. he struggled with this. he was battling to try and avoid this for weeks, he put us into a locked on only a few weeks ago, tier3, put us into a locked on only a few weeks ago, tier 3, a very restricted, and the whole idea was, after we came out earlier lockdown, then we went into tier 3, the earlier lockdown, the whole point of that was to try to buy us some time ahead of christmas, because, again, he has to balance the risks to lives with also the risk to livelihoods, and that is a massive problem. he knows that there are going to have to be tax rises coming down the tracks. if the five fm the other week already voted against the imposition of a new tiered sy

this is otley in west yorkshire. this has something...as 20 public houses, though, all of them closed up at the moment, all of the staff and landlords fed up, as are the locals, who probably like going to the pub on occasion, but what makes it particularly difficult here as well is that we are right on the border with west yorkshire. if you go half a mile up the road the pubs are open and you can go in there for a meal with people that you live with. overall there is some disappointment and the question has been asked today what do these areas have to do if they have technically met the criteria, what do they have to do to get from tier 3 to tier 2? and that is the answers they want in the next day or two. and you can find out what the rules are in your area of the uk by entering your postcode in our interactive tool — you can find it online at the bbc news website or on our app. it is hard to keep up, isn't it? herefordshire has been moved down into tier i, joining cornwall, the isles of scilly and the isle of wight in the lowest tier of

yorkshire and the humber is the only part of england to see a week—on—week fall in the infection rate the figures give some context to the government's decisions on tiers today. they are essentially an in—depth look at the daily figures the government provides on a national level each day. and, as you say, they show that all but one area, yorkshire and humber, are seeing increasing rates and infections. even in the north—west and north—east, where we have seen big falls during november and into early december, cases have plateaued and even started to go up slightly. in london, there are the highest rates of any region in england. 319 cases per 100,000 in the week to 13 december. that compares to 200 cases per 100,000 the week before — an increase of well over 50%. they also tell of what has been happening with hospital admissions which has been increasing in every region apart from the midlands. this is really crucial to today's decisions today about the tiers. notjust from not just from the notjust from the infection rates. we know from daily figures over 15,000 patients are in hospi

weather really from essex northwards into the east midlands, perhaps east anglia, lincolnshire, and yorkshireibility is likely to be. whereas further west, the skies tending to clear. this is where we'll see some of the lowest temperatures early on saturday morning. and saturday itself, it's a day where pressure is going to be rising across the whole of the uk. what that will do is it will squish this area of low pressure. so, in the next 2a hours, it won't exist at all, it willjust be gone. further west we get this ridge building in and that will have quite a big impact on the weather. it means across these western and southern areas, it's an improving weather picture with sunny spells developing but with that slow—moving area of low pressure close by, it stays pretty cloudy and there probably will still be some patches of rain well on into the afternoon across the north—east. for many of us, though, saturday morning will be a rather grey start to the day. extensive cloud, some patches of light rain and drizzle. very slowly pushing eastwards because there's barely any wind to move those feat

that put the olympics dreams of all those on the squad in jeopardy, including several from yorkshire.ing their level best to keep that dream alive. ready, let's go. iwasjust ready, let's go. i wasjust gutted. ididn't ready, let's go. i wasjust gutted. i didn't know what the next few months or years ahead were going to look like, andl months or years ahead were going to look like, and i think for me seeing such an amazing group of people who had been hard working and seeing it go to waste, it was sort of a worrying time. we decided as a squad who would try to self fund our programmes so whether that be raising money through different pages or whether it be as doing different coaching sessions, just trying to get the money in some sort of way. the response from the public was amazing and they saw this group of players that all we wanted to do was achieve our dream. rugby sevens proved a big hit when it debuted as an olympic sport in rio, team gb winning silver in mends with women finishing fourth. much shorter matches and only seven players aside, it seemed as a good way to introduce ne
