<p>The Police had to close the Kirkstall Road from both directions after a bike met with an accident with White SKida Fabia. The accident took place at 10 am. The 71-year-old who was driving Skoda suffered minor injuries while the 28-year-old biker sustained severe injuries. The paramedics took both of them to the hospital. The accident took place outside a storage facility on Kirkstall Road between Burley Wood Mount and Woodside View. It is one of the busiest commuter routes into and out of Leeds. To make sure there is no chain reaction of accidents happening on the road, the Police closed the course from both ends. Only after clearing the scene, the Police started to ease the traffic, and the way becomes fully functional at 3:45 pm.</p><p> </p>

<p>Hundreds of workers from Asda took the street to protest against the new contract. They marched through the city centre and stopped at Asda House in South Bank. They demanded the supermarket to reopen negotiations over the instructions in Contract 6. GMB Union that represents the workers said that the company is imposing a contract which will force workers to work for £9 an hour on bank holidays. </p><p>The Union said that, according to the company, if the workers do not sign the new contract, they may get dismissed on November 2. More than 1000 workers came on the streets to protest against it.

<p>Andrea Radrizzani, who owns Leeds United, said in a statement that the club might compete with Manchester City if they can get the right investment. Currently, the club is in the fifth position in the Championship, and they are positive to return to the Premier League for the first time after 2004. </p><p>Leeds does not have any feature yet in the premier league since 2003/04 season, and it has been as low as League One since that time. The owner, however, still believes in the potential of the club. Radrizzani replaced controversial Massimo Cellino and took over the ownership of the club in 2017. He is now looking for investors to show some faith in the club so that they can come forward and compete with stronger teams. </p><p> </p>

<p>The direct trains that will be linking Manchester and Leeds are under consideration. Reports suggest that an independent review is set for the High Speed (HS2) rail project on the route. The panel looking in the case is working on other alternatives to the proposed course of HS2. </p><p>The current path splits into east and west legs after the city of Birmingham. According to the reports, one of the suggestions that the panel is considering is the idea that trains from London would go to Leeds while taking a route of Birmingham, and then the next stop being Manchester. The course will create a journey of 20 minutes between Leeds and Manchester. </p><p>The proposed way would drastically improve the current travelling time, which on average stands at 71 minutes. This suggestion will see the proposal of the eastern line getting scrapped and will save a whopping ten billion pounds.</p><p> </p>
