Vets and animal welfare experts say the farming minister's comments that the badger cull is "delivering results" in reducing bovine TB is just plain wrong.
A peatland restoration project is under way in Shetland and twelve farmers have become involved in the initiative.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
