00:00Hi, I'm Sophie May-Lanmay-Lin and here are today's headlines.

00:06The Great Yorkshire Show is much more than just about farming. Yes, as the Great Yorkshire

00:12Show kicks off today at Harrogate Showground, we share why it's more than just an agricultural

00:18festival.

00:21When it comes to the Great Yorkshire Show, it really does show the best of the agricultural

00:26world here in Yorkshire. But not only that, it shows our vast countrysides, our diverse

00:34population and there is so much more to enjoy about the show at the showground. Today it

00:40kicks off officially with Helen Skelton speaking to Christine Talbot on the main stage.

00:47Following several delays to the Woodsmith project, the Yorkshire Post can reveal that

00:52360 jobs will be cut.

00:57The number of people employed on the Woodsmith project in North Yorkshire by shaft sinking

01:02contractor Redpath is dropping from 730 to 370, a loss of 360 roles.

01:11Our columnist Andrew Vine also writes about the Great Yorkshire Show, how whilst it will

01:17be a celebration of farming, there's something much more serious that some of the people

01:22involved will be discussing.

01:25Andrew Vine claims that the Tories let down the agricultural world. He also says that

01:31the Labour government's attitude towards agriculture will undoubtedly be debated by many attending

01:38this event and one of the main briefs will be rural crime.

01:44For all that and more, don't forget to subscribe to the Yorkshire Post online and in print.

01:49Have a great day.
