It's almost a year since two huge earthquakes destroyed villages in Nepal, killing more than 8,000 people. 

A few months ago BBC Radio Sheffield spoke to Keith Brook, a teacher at Birkdale School in Sheffield, about his plan to take pupils on a trip out there. 

The school has been taking groups to Kathmandu for 15 years and the disaster didn't stop that this year. In fact, it made them even more determined and they also took along medical and engineering teams.

Our reporter Liz Roberts filmed some of the trip.....

A warrant was issued for the arrest of 30-year-old Shaun Chamberlain, of Bolton-upon-Dearne, who failed to appear at court in October last year. 

Last month, nine people were jailed at Sheffield Crown Court for a range of criminal offences in Mexborough, Doncaster.

A judge sentenced Chamberlain in his absence to four years in prison for his role in the crimes. 

Supt Neil Thomas said: “Chamberlain may think he can outrun police or outsmart the authorities and we acknowledge he has been outstanding for a period of time, but there are a number of active enquiries to find him and bring him to justice."

A £78m scheme to improve a waste water treatment works in South Yorkshire has been completed.

Yorkshire Water said the river's water quality was now "healthier than at any point since the Industrial Revolution".

The revamp will also aid plans to reintroduce salmon into the city centre for the first time in more than 100 years, it said.

The facility was built in 1884 and is now opposite Meadowhall shopping centre.
