BBC Local Live: Leeds and West Yorkshire

That's it from us for this week, hope you have a great weekend. 

We'll be back from 08:00 on Monday with more news, travel, weather and sport from around West Yorkshire.

Until then, here's five things we learned today.

1. The not-so-illicit past of Sooty, Sweep and Soo
2. Is it the end of the world? Nope, probably not, it's just a very dark moon...
3. The result of policeman on a bike vs a Ferrari doesn't end the way you think it might
4. Here's Sooty again, he pops up all over the place
5. Three old blokes going down a moor in a bath? Perhaps not for much longer...

See you next week!

We'll hang on to further sunny spells and scattered showers this evening across West Yorkshire. Some of these showers heavy and thundery, but it will remain dry for most. A keen south westerly breeze, and highs of 15C (59F).

Have you seen this great big mural going up in the news bit of Leeds Kirkgate market?

The town was made famous across the world by Compo, Clegg and Foggy and became a go-to destination in West Yorkshire. 

The centre is devoted to the long-running BBC TV sitcom, but now faces an uncertain future. 

Owner Sue Gardner, who has run it with her husband Chris for 14 years, says the attraction will probably close if it is not sold.

Ouch, look at those queues on the M62. We've got two lanes out between J26 and J27 eastbound.

This is just before J26. Best avoided if you can I'd say.

The founder of a flagship academy and two members of staff are jailed for defrauding the government out of £150,000.

Sajid Raza, 43, who set up Kings Science Academy in Bradford, Shabana Hussain, 40, and Daud Khan, 44, made payments from Department for Education grants into their own bank accounts.

The three were convicted of fraud in August at Leeds Crown Court following a six-week trial.

Raza was jailed for five years, Hussain for six months and Khan 14 months.

During the trial, the court heard Raza used money from government grants to offset his own financial difficulties and make mortgage repayments on rental properties he owned.

The thieves got into the house by an unlocked back door and made off with the two seven-week-old puppies.

It happened last night on Long Canning Lane in the city. If you have any information, you can contact PC Sian Williams on 101.

Worth bearing in mind if you're heading out from work early this afternoon

And this is the resulting problem for bus users too. It's been a very bad week for travelling in Leeds...

The sun is particularly annoying at this time of year...

It's looking a bit slow on the Inner Ring Road

Forget Harry Gration and Lara Rostron, the newest and arguably best presenter on BBC Look North has to be Sooty!

A "junk food" supermarket in Leeds says it's collecting up to two tonnes of bread products a day from mainstream supermarkets as they "deliberately bake too much bread in-store as a marketing tool".

Supermarkets have rejected the claims, saying all stores have targets to reduce waste.

But one food expert said bread is used as a loss-leader in a bid to emphasise the value of higher-priced items.

Corin Bell, director of the Real Junk Food Project (RJFP) in Manchester, told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours that fresh products are used as marketing tools because they are seen as a "mark of quality and freshness".

We've launched a project called “Children of the Somme”, which will involve two West Yorkshire primary schools to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.

The idea is that we will help pupils find out more about their own history and any involvement their family members might have had with the Battle of the Somme.

The project will culminate in an event at Bradford Playhouse which will see both schools coming together to perform in a final concert, showcasing everything they have learned from the workshops. That will happen on Thursday 17 November.

This will be welcome news, the evening commute in that area has been a nightmare for most of this week...
