Weight loss clients at the Rotherham Institute of Obesity are taking on an Olympic-size challenge. 

It's known as RIO, and they are setting off walking, running, and rowing their way to the "other" Rio - that's the one in Rio de Janeiro, the site of the Olympic Games. 

The eight-week adventure will see clients complete nearly 10,000km on gym equipment, with their distance carefully tracked. 

The idea came from exercise therapist Luke Walker:

We've been talking this afternoon about this surprising news that Rotherham MP Sarah Champion is to be given her old front bench job back.

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn  agreed to the move  after she asked to be re-instated.

Ms Champion, who was a shadow Home Office minister, resigned the position last month along with most other Labour front benchers following a vote of no confidence in Mr Corbyn. 

Our Assistant Political Editor, Norman Smith, says it's an "extraordinary development":  

Port Vale boss Bruno Ribeiro says he wants to add former Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rovers striker Nathan Tyson to his new-look squad.

Tyson, 34, who left Rovers following their relegation to League Two last season, is on trial with Vale.  

Ribeiro has already signed 12 new players since taking over in June.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has agreed to give Labour MP Sarah Champion her front bench job back - after she asked to be re-instated. 

Ms Champion - who was shadow office minister for Preventing Abuse and Domestic Violence - resigned the positon along with most other Labour front benchers following the vote of no confidence in Mr Corbyn. 

However she has now asked Mr Corbyn asking for her job back. Mr Corbyn's office said the Labour leader had now written to "welcome her back." 

The move will be seen a significant coup for Mr Corbyn and will fuel hopes that the revolt among Labour MPs may crumble. 

Seven shotguns and 300 rounds of ammunition have been handed in to South Yorkshire Police.

The deposits are part of an amnesty which means anyone who hands in weapons before Monday 1 August will not be prosecuted for possession.

It's not just shotguns that police are looking to recover - you can also hand in air weapons, BB guns, handguns, antique firearms, imitation firearms, ammunition, samurai swords, machetes, switchblades and daggers.

Some early evening sunshine is likely in the east. Most places will be dry overnight with clear spells, but generally cloudier over the Pennines with a few spots of light drizzle possible. 

Winds will be mainly light westerly.

I mentioned earlier a campaign to start re-making a vintage brand of Sheffield scissors.

Ernest Wright and Sons want to bring back their iconic "Kut-rite" design.   

They were hoping to raise £60,000 with their Kickstarter campaign, but have already reached more than £150,000.

They've been speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield about their scissors, but I thought you might like to see this video of a "putter" - yes, you guessed it: he puts together their scissors. 

The top stories from South Yorkshire this afternoon include:

• Downing Street says a highly critical report by MPs about Sir Philip Green's ownership of the collapsed BHS chain is "clearly concerning". Local MP John Mann has called on the Prime Minister to strip Sir Philip of his knighthood following the reports publication
• Police say they're carrying out a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the death of an 11-year-old boy in a canal in Rotherham on Thursday night
• CCTV and helicopter footage is being examined by police after disorder in Cleethorpes following the Grimsby Town and Sheffield United game at Blundell Park at the weekend 

The Chinese businessman behind a £1bn investment in Sheffield has told the BBC that his vision is to transform the city centre. 

Mr Wang Chunming insists that recent changes to where the money is coming from should not cause concern. 

His initial plans are for a hotel and office block. Mr Wang, speaking through a translator, says he see opportunities in the city.

Mainly dry for most areas, with some bright or sunny spells through the day, and a moderate westerly breeze. 

Rather cloudier over the Pennines with patchy light rain, and one or two showers later. Feeling fresher than recent days.

"A thorough and comprehensive investigation is continuing, but I can confirm that there appear to be no suspicious circumstances.
