00:00 Hi, I'm Sophie Mayland-Maylin and here are today's headlines.

00:04 It was a rainy day down south as Rishi Sunak stood on the steps of Downing Street and called

00:10 for a general election on July 4th.

00:14 Also close at home in North Yorkshire, sadly on the edge of the North York moors, one person

00:20 has died in a mudslide.

00:23 One person has tragically died in a North Yorkshire mudslide.

00:27 The incident happened yesterday afternoon in the Carlton in Cleveland area.

00:32 North Yorkshire police who attended the scene asked the public to give them the time to

00:36 investigate and please to not speculate but to check their social channels, their official

00:42 ones to see the latest updates on the incident.

00:46 The family of the person who died have been informed.

00:50 While the rain was pouring down on Rishi Sunak yesterday, music blasted from outside of Downing

00:56 Street, things can only get better as the UK's Prime Minister called a general election

01:02 on July 4th.

01:05 Some were shocked by the announcement expecting an autumn election whereas others were much

01:11 relieved.

01:12 That said, it seems to have taken a few of the parties by surprise.

01:16 Also in today's news, yes, Yorkshire folk are taking back control or at least they hope

01:21 to as they've put in a community bid to buy a national park.

01:27 Bridestone Moor, a 114 acre on the hillside above Todmorden which was put up for sale

01:34 and is now subject to bids.

01:36 We'll also have the latest today on Yorkshire Post as Morrison workers go on strike.
