There's confusion over whether the South Yorkshire region must have a directly elected mayor as part of any devolution deal. 

Downing Street insists there's no change in policy and that in the deals that have been done to date, a mayor had been a requirement. 

But it also goes on to say the government wouldn't force areas to have a mayor if they didn't want one.

The leader of Barnsley Council, Sir Steve Houghton, says we need clarification from the government:

Sheffield's English Institute of Sport is basking in Olympic glory after revealing the national organisation supported 93% of Team GB's athletes who made it to the podium in Rio. 

122 of EIS employees travelled out to Brazil to support Team GB.

Local areas in England which do not want a directly-elected mayor will not be forced to have one, Downing Street has said. 

The Prime Minister's official spokeswoman said the government would continue to engage with local areas on devolution. 

She said that, as under David Cameron, where local authorities don't want to be part of a deal, the government would not force them. 

She says the government was open to discussions on any devolution proposals that included strong, accountable governance, including mayors.

Sheffield City Region signed a deal in October 2015 to have an elected mayor by 2017.

By March 2016, the devolution deal won the support of all nine councils affected.

Overnight flooding has closed a show cave at White Scar Cave in Ingleton, North Yorkshire, with dramatic video taken at the scene earlier today showing water rushing through the visitor entrance and down steps to the nearby road.

Heavy rain is said to have hit the area overnight, with standing water on a number of roads, according to North Yorkshire County Council.

It's estimated 60mm of rain had fallen in the area since midnight, but staff at the caves say they're hopeful the attraction will reopen by Tuesday morning.

John Connaughton, caves manager, has told BBC Radio York that water started to flow out of the cave entrance at about 08:20 and described the incident as an "exceptional flood".

Thankfully the weather is set to improve this afternoon! 

• Rotherham MPs face electoral expenses fraud probe 
• A third of fatal fires in Yorkshire were in a home without a fire alarm  
• Loving home for abandoned 'Olympic' kittens 

What with empty seats at the stadium, green water in the diving pool and a puzzling shortage of money forcing major cuts to the Paralympics, for Brazil the Rio Olympics have been a triumph of disorganisation.

Yet, for the athletes themselves, the triumph has been of an entirely different order.
