French President Emmanuel Macron has opened the annual Paris International Agricultural Show on Saturday, but for the first time ever it's without cattle following an outbreak of lumpy skin disease. Two of France's farming unions are also boycotting the usual meeting with the president.
The Paris agricultural show is the largest in Europe. But for the first time since its creation in 1964 cows have been banned after an outbreak of lumpy skin disease in France sparked fears of contamination, according to organisers.
