00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Thursday, June the 19th.

00:04Just bringing you some of our top headlines today.

00:06First up, we have one that's been doing really well over, well, since yesterday morning actually.

00:12Food hygiene rating of previously condemned restaurants, which has received a three following an inspection,

00:18which means standards are generally satisfactory.

00:21It's a far cry from when the inspectors visited in 2023, late 2023.

00:27And it was infested with rats, so they had to close the premises down.

00:34But now it's open, it's running, and it's doing really, really well.

00:38So you can read all about that this morning.

00:41Then another one that's been doing really well for us, police officers from South Yorkshire Police and North Yorkshire

00:49joined forces on two and four wheels to double their effort in spreading the message about road safety.

00:57There was a number of people involved in that operation.

01:03They were chasing somebody on a motorbike who reached speeds up to 100 miles an hour.

01:09They had to abandon that pursuit when the speeds got too fast.

01:15The person eventually crashed into a wall.

01:18There's a lot on there about the operation itself, so you can read all about that on the website today as well.

01:25And then finally, something we've asked South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue about,

01:31people reporting what they call a toxic smog and a burning smell across large parts of Doncaster overnight.

01:39You may well have smelt it and seen it yourself.

01:42A burning smell.

01:45They were woken in the early hours.

01:47Obviously, people have got the windows open with it being so warm.

01:49And they woke up this morning when it looked quite foggy and smoggy outside.

01:56We don't know what it is.

01:57Like I say, we've asked the question.

01:59Hopefully, we'll get some answers.

02:01The best thing we can say, really, is, even though it's unpleasant, is to close your windows if it affects you at all.

02:08But as soon as we find out, if we can, what it is, we'll let you know.

02:14So for those three stories and for anything else, just visit www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk

02:19And, of course, we'll keep you updated with everything on Facebook and X.

02:23And have a sunny Thursday.

02:25There.
