:00:11. > :00:20.Good evening from the Great Yorkshire Show.
:00:21. > :00:23.But this morning's show started off on a serious note when some
:00:24. > :00:26.of Yorkshire's 3,000 beef producers staged a protest about what they
:00:27. > :00:28.describe as rock bottom prices which are putting their livelihoods

:00:54. > :01:02.new jobs. And plans to open up the hard shoulder of the water might
:01:03. > :01:04.want will go ahead. It has been a wet afternoon here in Harrogate.
:01:05. > :01:20.Join me life for the forecast. Good evening from the
:01:21. > :01:22.Great Yorkshire Show. Just days after Yorkshire showed
:01:23. > :01:25.the world how to stage a cycling event, we are hosting the country's
:01:26. > :01:36.biggest agricultural show! It has been a brilliant time noticed
:01:37. > :01:38.bite the weather. Just look at that scene. It really is remarkable. The
:01:39. > :01:41.weather doesn't matter. More than a 130,000 visitors are
:01:42. > :01:44.expected to make their way to the showground in Harrogate in the
:01:45. > :01:47.next few days and there's something for everyone, from fantastic animals
:01:48. > :01:49.to shopping to die for. But this morning's show started
:01:50. > :01:52.off on a serious note when some of Yorkshire's 3,000 beef producers
:01:53. > :01:56.staged a protest about what they describe as rock bottom prices
:01:57. > :02:12.which are putting their livelihoods The National Farmers Union say that
:02:13. > :02:19.prices have fallen by 60p per kilo in the last year. I'm joined now by
:02:20. > :02:27.the livestock chairman from the National Farmers Union. Why are
:02:28. > :02:32.prices so low? It is the same old dynamic of supply and demand. Supply
:02:33. > :02:36.has increased dramatically. We face softer demand because of the mild
:02:37. > :02:40.winter and because people are feeling the pinch in their pockets.
:02:41. > :02:48.Eddie and to not be to stop supplying so much beef? We take
:02:49. > :02:54.great pride in the beef we provide and we ask consumers to support our
:02:55. > :02:57.product. Is it's not a case of people choosing not to eat beef
:02:58. > :03:05.because they don't think it is a healthy option any more? Yes but
:03:06. > :03:13.there are difficult factors in there. People do like to support red
:03:14. > :03:17.meat. We enjoy the taste and the flavour and the good things and
:03:18. > :03:22.provides in a diet. Give us an idea of what this is doing to farmers.
:03:23. > :03:31.Low prices are undermining confidence. Beef is a long`term
:03:32. > :03:35.production cycle. We need to get the confidence back and sustainability
:03:36. > :03:38.to move forward. Every time we come to the Great Yorkshire Show there
:03:39. > :03:46.seems to be crisis for farmers. How serious is this one for the 3000
:03:47. > :03:51.beef farmers in this county? It is very serious. We're losing up to 200
:03:52. > :03:56.pounds on every animal and confidence is at rock bottom. If we
:03:57. > :03:58.can't change that, people will vote with their feet and leave the
:03:59. > :04:05.industry and then there will be a shortage of beef. Quite simply, we
:04:06. > :04:08.need British consumers to support us and buy British beef but we also
:04:09. > :04:18.need retailers to play their part and differentiate our product from
:04:19. > :04:22.imports. Buy British beef. Make sure that the labelling is correct and
:04:23. > :04:27.support British beef farmers. Well beef prices may have fallen
:04:28. > :04:30.but one Yorkshire farmer says food prices overall could rocket in the
:04:31. > :04:33.next decade due to increasing demand 13% of the crop is now used
:04:34. > :04:41.for the manufacture of biofuel, a cleaner alternative to fossil
:04:42. > :04:45.fuels like coal and oil. But this, combined with new laws
:04:46. > :04:50.on fungicides, means that high demand could clash with a reduced
:04:51. > :04:53.yield and force up food bills. A healthy wheat crop on Lodge Farm
:04:54. > :04:56.at Nunnington. Thanks to a summer of sunshine
:04:57. > :04:59.and showers, it will be ready to So where does it go once sold to
:05:00. > :05:04.a grain merchant? It is made into breakfast cereals
:05:05. > :05:11.or flower for bread and cakes. Or it is taken to a factory to
:05:12. > :05:18.be converted into ethanol. This pure alcohol is mixed with
:05:19. > :05:20.petrol or diesel to form An increasing proportion of the UK's
:05:21. > :05:27.wheat is now used as a source There is going to be huge demand
:05:28. > :05:34.on more food and more fuel and I think these are the questions we
:05:35. > :05:37.will be asking in 10 years, Well, we need to produce more
:05:38. > :05:43.and we actually can't The UK grows 15 million tonnes
:05:44. > :05:52.of wheat each year, 2 million That's 13% of the crop taken out
:05:53. > :06:00.of food production. So you would think the answer is
:06:01. > :06:03.simple ` grow more wheat so there Talk amongst farmers at the show
:06:04. > :06:09.today is about new pesticides which, far from increasing them,
:06:10. > :06:14.could halve yields. If we lose these crop protection
:06:15. > :06:19.products or fungicides, we could see a reduction in yield
:06:20. > :06:24.by at least 50%. That would present
:06:25. > :06:27.its own problem to the household In time,
:06:28. > :06:34.it might actually lead to import. According to the National Farmers
:06:35. > :06:36.Union, Britain will have 7 million The demand
:06:37. > :07:01.for wheat will only increase to fuel Let me show you the BBC compound
:07:02. > :07:10.here. We are here in force. That is the World War I exhibition. Don't
:07:11. > :07:14.miss that if you're coming. We've got the best seats in the house

:08:30. > :08:37.The judge said it does not matter who inflicted the wind, North men
:08:38. > :08:41.are responsible. The jury heard how the pair carried out a robbery
:08:42. > :08:45.involving a knife in the city centre. The prosecution claims they
:08:46. > :08:51.went on to attack Thavisha Peiris to steal his mobile phone. The jury
:08:52. > :08:58.heard that Shamraze Khan watched Kasim Ahmed stab him in a frenzied
:08:59. > :09:11.attack. He said he did not participate but did not dissing
:09:12. > :09:13.courage. The jury said both men are guilty. It is a judgement that
:09:14. > :09:16.Shamraze Khan denies. Drax power station is to receive

:14:16. > :14:23.an extra lane. It will cost up to ?225 million and be finished by

:15:04. > :15:09.copied my letter to the Minister to the coroner in South Yorkshire.
:15:10. > :15:15.Because I think they will be using an inquest from this. There is a

:17:15. > :17:30.So let me give you a quick whizz around.
:17:31. > :17:37.This is the military hospital, some horrible injuries there.
:17:38. > :17:41.If you want to be a war reporter, that will tell you how you can do

:17:59. > :18:01.of years until his health became so bad he had to be discharged.
:18:02. > :18:04.Basically, this resource will make people's eyes open when they

:18:12. > :18:16.People get very emotional when they realise what effect
:18:17. > :18:19.the conflict had on their family. It's remarkable.
:18:20. > :18:23.I?ve enrolled in the war but I think a lot of people, when they make
:18:24. > :18:27.their way to the Great Yorkshire Show, will want to come here
:18:28. > :18:52.The great Yorkshire show is mostly about animals. But it is also about
:18:53. > :18:56.romance for my guests. You could say they are newlyweds
:18:57. > :19:10.having got married at the end I brought a code called Gorgeous and
:19:11. > :19:18.Katrina took a shine to it. Katrina really late Gorgeous and approached
:19:19. > :19:24.me about selling her. I said there was a condition, but I would get a
:19:25. > :19:36.date! She agreed, I think is to get my heifer, but I won her over and
:19:37. > :19:41.blossomed. This isn't Gorgeous because she has a sore foot, but she
:19:42. > :19:49.played a big part in your wedding day, didn't she? Because she got us
:19:50. > :19:54.together I really wanted for their on the day. The guests could see
:19:55. > :20:00.photos of horror, the reason my BR together. Why was she not allowed at
:20:01. > :20:07.the church? Which she had eaten the flowers? She just wasn't allowed on
:20:08. > :20:15.the grounds. I think it was just the policy. She probably would have
:20:16. > :20:28.fitted down the aisle! Ishii paired Ari heifer? `` if I have no dinner,
:20:29. > :20:36.I know that Gorgeous is getting her dinner! So I don't know if she is a
:20:37. > :20:49.pet or a friend. She was actually born from an embryo, wasn't she? She
:20:50. > :20:58.was. Stephen implanted the embryo and bred Gorgeous from it and then I
:20:59. > :21:01.bought her. The Great Yorkshire Show a special for you because you fell
:21:02. > :21:08.in love here, but what are the highlights. Seeing people you don't
:21:09. > :21:13.see from one year to another. It's like a drug, you can't get the
:21:14. > :21:19.passion out of your system. We have a passion for livestock and that's
:21:20. > :21:25.why we came back. The Great Yorkshire Show is a great place, it
:21:26. > :21:33.is lovely. That is why I moved to Yorkshire. It is where your romance
:21:34. > :21:38.blossomed. What would you see is really special about the Great
:21:39. > :21:42.Yorkshire Show? The livestock, definitely. Everything is so
:21:43. > :21:56.traditional here. It is my local show no. `` now. She came all the
:21:57. > :22:09.way from Ireland to get here. Hopefully Gorgeous and this one will
:22:10. > :22:13.get back together now. Beef farmers are putting their livelihoods at
:22:14. > :22:18.risk. What is your reaction? How are you finding trade? It is getting
:22:19. > :22:24.difficult. Katrina knows more about it than I do. It is really hard.
:22:25. > :22:33.People don't realise how far Hamas are getting it. The weather, like
:22:34. > :22:40.today, it's raining. You never know how things are going to go. People
:22:41. > :22:47.don't realise it is a seven days a week job. You can't go on holidays,
:22:48. > :23:00.you have two stay with you livestock. Thank you so much for
:23:01. > :23:02.chatting to us. I'm sure Gorgeous will have a special place in your
:23:03. > :23:14.hearts. Something funny just happened. Paul
:23:15. > :23:18.was positioned over their and we had a technical hitch, so we got him to
:23:19. > :23:32.run across here as fast as he could! Have a look over there. That
:23:33. > :23:35.is the type of cloud we have had here. It will be giving someone
:23:36. > :23:44.downpours to the south of Harrowgate. We can show you pictures
:23:45. > :23:48.of what it was like. A beautiful morning but then the heavens opened.
:23:49. > :23:58.Exhibitors like it because people come in to buy food and umbrellas so
:23:59. > :24:02.it is not bad business! Those downpours caused some localised
:24:03. > :24:07.flooding and there have been really big showers in Nottinghamshire into
:24:08. > :24:12.the North Midlands and southern parts of South Yorkshire. There are
:24:13. > :24:21.still there but things are improving. If you have a showers
:24:22. > :24:33.this evening but they are fizzling out. `` a few heavy showers.
:24:34. > :24:40.Overnight, it looks set to be dry with good clear spells. It has been
:24:41. > :24:50.breezy here which will bring patchy fog, but temperatures will be as low
:24:51. > :24:53.as 11 Celsius. Wednesday looks like the best day of the Great Yorkshire
:24:54. > :25:01.Show. There will be a lot of sunshine around. As we head into the
:25:02. > :25:06.afternoon, it will tend to cloud over from the east and the coast
:25:07. > :25:18.might see patchy rain. Further west, it is fine. We could have gills
:25:19. > :25:26.along because tomorrow evening `` deals along the coast. There is a
:25:27. > :25:33.bit of uncertainty about rain on Thursday. As it stands, it will push
:25:34. > :25:40.westwards through Thursday morning so I think that could be rain at the
:25:41. > :25:50.showground. On Thursday afternoon, the rainbow clear eastern areas
:25:51. > :26:07.towards the coast. Stay tuned to the forecast. For Friday and Saturday,
:26:08. > :26:13.we will bring in some warm air. There is likely to be a scattering
:26:14. > :26:19.of underage showers. If you're coming to the Great Yorkshire Show,
:26:20. > :26:26.tomorrow is the way to do it. What do you think about that cloud?
:26:27. > :26:35.There's an old friend of ours down there Ken Morrison. We've had a bit
:26:36. > :26:42.of fun this afternoon. We had a competition between Paul's team and
:26:43. > :26:55.Amy and I. We got all this food from the stalls for ?10. It cost us 50p
:26:56. > :27:04.for all of that! There is ?1 missing! And give you it back
:27:05. > :27:11.later! All of this food will go to a good home a little later. It has
:27:12. > :27:16.been a tremendous start to the Great Yorkshire Show. The downpour hasn't
:27:17. > :27:23.had any impact. People just went into the food hall and bought
:27:24. > :27:28.things. Tomorrow is a special one. Just make a point of coming to our
:27:29. > :27:33.World War I exhibition. I found out things about my family that I don't
:27:34. > :27:41.even know. It is quite emotional. The army enclosure is brilliant for
:27:42. > :27:53.children. From all of us here, good night.
:27:54. > :28:03.This is the first example we know of of infrared communication.
:28:04. > :28:08.Imagine if you could talk to the animals.
:28:09. > :28:12.Zoologist Lucy Cooke is going to show us how.
