  1. Five things we learned today

    Well, I'm sad to say that it's time for me to go, but don't worry too much, I'll be back tomorrow from 08:00!

    Before I ride off into the sunset, let's look back at five things we didn't know when we woke up this morning...

    1. If you're going to have a fancy car, try not to park it inside a bus stop.
    2. West Yorkshire is a great place to live, even better if you've got ambitions to do well at the Olympics!
    3. Think you're good on a motorbike? Prepare to feel inadequate.
    4. It takes all sorts doesn't it... And that's what makes life interesting.
    5. Ed Balls.

    See you tomorrow!

    weather

    More cloud about tomorrow but still a dry and bright day with sunny spells. Maximum temperature of 23C (73F).    

  3. 'Legal highs' to be destroyed

    £170,000 worth of "legal highs" are being destroyed by West Yorkshire Trading Standards. 

    Legal highs

    Magistrates in Leeds have given them permission to dispose of the chemicals which were seized from four shops last May because they were on sale despite being described as things like plant food or bath crystals. 

    The drugs are technically known as 'psychoactive substances' they were banned under a new law introduced in May of this year.  

  4. Rio 2016: Alistair Brownlee 'in best shape ever'

    Leeds' Brownlee brothers will be competing in the triathlon tomorrow, and Alistair has declared himself in his best shape since London 2012.

    A  triathlete has never been able to retain an Olympic title before. But the good news is that he's the favourite to take gold.

    Alistair has won plenty of races but also struggled with injury. Last August he took the decision to undergo ankle surgery in a bid to cure the problem once and for all and the gamble appears to have paid off. 

    There is no doubt both of the Brownlees were helped last month when his biggest rival, Javier Gomez, fractured his elbow in a training fall, ruling him out of the Olympics.

  5. Fatal dog attack: Post mortem carried out

    A post mortem has been carried out on the body of Huddersfield man David Ellam, who died after a dog attacked him on Monday.

    Police say that the 52-year-old died of a result of multiple injuries.

    The animal is still alive and being kept in kennels, officers say the dog will be kept there until their investigation finishes.

  6. Rio 2016: GB team fail in show jumping title defence

    Yorkshire's Michael and John Whitaker missed out on a top-eight spot required to progress. Michael Whitaker's horse, Cassionato, has been withdrawn from the individual competition after showing symptoms of colic.

    BBC Travel

    There's one lane blocked because of an accident on the A64 eastbound in Tadcaster at the A162 junction. Two vehicles are involved and there's congestion to the A659 junction.  

  8. Olympic glory starts to sink in for diver

    The reality of the amazing achievement at Rio 2016 must only just be sinking in for Jack Laugher, who trains in Leeds.

    I can imagine that his inbox might have been quite full this morning!

    They set off from Batley at 10:00 and should arrive in Westminster in four days.
