Salmon River Don

It was a real pleasure to report on the good news from Sheffield this week that Atlantic salmon have been found breeding in the River Don for the first time in more than two hundred years.

Farmers Struggling

I've been filming with a father and daughter who are farmers in North Yorkshire and are really struggling to get by.

He’s currently losing money and unable to make a living.
