A North Yorkshire farmers mart that's been in existence

for over a hundred years, says it doesn't know

if it can survive a big hike in its business rates.

Hawes mart sells 100,000 sheep a year but will see its rates

Sheep have been sold at this auction mart in Hawes for 103 years

In its defence, the valuation office agency said it sets rateable

values fairly and equally and there is an appeal process.

But it takes three-and-a-half years - time enough for the mart to no

The two men and a woman are being held on suspicion

Meanwhile, Raheem Wilks' 18-year-old brother, Maleek,

made his first-team debut for Leeds United today.

But his team suffered a shock defeat in the FA Cup fourth

round against non-League Sutton United.

Sutton may be the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup

but they dominated against Leeds from the start.

The national league side thought they were 1-0 up

The celebrations cut short by a late offside flag.

Only minutes into the second half, a penalty was awarded to Sutton,

Leeds felt they deserved their own penalty but their appeals

The match brought an emotional moment for Maleek Wilks.

Just three days after his brother was shot dead in the street,

the 18-year-old striker made his Leeds United debut.

But on the pitch, things got no better for Leeds.

Their captain Liam Cooper was sent off after a second bookable offence,

leaving United to end the match with 10-men.

Quickly it'll be out of the way and we'll be looking at a largely dry

night. Low cloud. Mist and murk and patches of fog and even frost under

clear skies, particularly the further north you head with

overnight temperatures dropping to one or two. So we'll start the day

tomorrow on a very cloudy, misty, murk divri note. Patchy frost and

fog. Both will clear and lift and we'll be looking at a cloudy

picture. The best of the brightness further east, as always with this

Atlantic set-up with temperatures tomorrow up to 6 or 17. Turning less
