00:00 Good morning everyone, I'm Darren Burke, one of your live team and digital reporters for

00:04 the Doncaster Free Press, bringing you some of the main headlines in Doncaster this Thursday.

00:09 Today is of course the start of the St. Leger Festival in Doncaster, with a four day race

00:13 meeting getting underway at the Town Hall with Ladies Day which kicks off later. In

00:19 a change to the format of this year's festival, the race meeting will run from Thursday through

00:23 until Sunday, with a big race on Saturday and a family fun day on Sunday. We'll be keeping

00:28 you updated with everything that's going on at the racecourse in the coming days, so stay

00:32 in touch with our website and our Facebook for all the details. Also in the news today,

00:37 an investigation is underway after an escape attempt at a Doncaster prison. The investigation

00:43 is underway at HMP Moreland and comes days after terror suspect Daniel Khalif escaped

00:49 from a Wandsworth prison in London. We'll have details of that for you. And after the

00:54 closure of another restaurant in Doncaster City Centre, we'll be taking a look at a particular

00:59 Doncaster City Centre street and asking if it's cursed after the number of closures of

01:03 restaurants and eating and drinking venues in recent years. And make sure you get hold

01:09 of a copy of this week's Doncaster Free Press, which is out today, and have a great day.
