00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Friday, May the 2nd, just bringing you some of our top headlines today.
00:06First of all, something that came out first thing this morning, well in the early hours,
00:11Ros Jones has secured her position as Doncaster Mayor for her fourth term following the election.
00:18Yesterday she secured 23,805 votes.
00:23Second place was Alexander Jones of Reform, just 698 votes behind her, with Conservative candidate Nick Flexture coming in third with just under 19,000 votes.
00:36So congratulations to Ros on that victory.
00:40I'm sure we'll have much more about that election as the day goes on.
00:46Our local democracy reporter, Harry, is having a little sleep just to recover because he was working all night,
00:53so I'm sure he'll be bringing us some more information.
00:55So keep posted on Facebook and X for that.
01:00Then in other news, the Doncaster North Neighbourhood Policing Team have been busy.
01:06They executed another warrant under Section 32 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
01:10This was in the Woodlands area.
01:12They located within a terrace property, 6 fully grown, 8 medium-sized and over 140 baby cannabis plants in the bedroom and the attic of the property.
01:26A man has been arrested, so we'll try and keep you updated on that story as well.
01:32And then some really, really good news to bring you.
01:34The award-winning Yorkshire Wildlife Park has welcomed two Amir Leopard Cubs, which is a remarkable step in the battle to save one of the most endangered big cats in the world from extinction.
01:47Mother Kristen, age 13, gave birth last week and is currently spending all her time nursing her babies.
01:55She will continue to do so until they're big enough and strong enough to come out into the big wide world.
01:59So definitely worth a visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park when they show their faces.
02:05They're absolutely gorgeous.
02:07There is a video and some pictures online, so please go and have a look at that.
