Ireland's former environment minister Phil Hogan has been tipped as the next EU Agriculture Commissioner. He will take over from the Romanian Dacian Ciolo in November, if his appointment is approved by the European Parliament. Charlotte Smith discusses Hogan's background and what the change in leadership will mean for British farmers with Rose O'Donovan, editor of the Brussels-based publication Agrafacts.

As part of our week-long look at "all the tools in the box" in the fight against Bovine TB, we examine the development of a cattle vaccine. Clare Salisbury has a special report from Ethiopia where small-scale field studies are being carried out to test the efficacy of the BCG vaccine in cattle. It is not licensed for use in the UK because of EU legislation. Charlotte asks farming minister George Eustice how much longer British farmers have to wait.

Landowners will come together at today's National Anti-Poaching Conference in Uttoxeter to look for better ways of tackling poaching. The romantic image of taking the odd pheasant or rabbit 'for the pot' conceals a much darker reality, according to the British Association for Shooting and Conservation.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Anna Jones.
