Thousands of farmers from across Europe protest outside the European Commission in Brussels. They're frustrated about poor farm gate prices and disrupted markets. Burning hay is fired at riot police, fire crackers exploding and piles of smouldering tyres block the streets.
It's tupping time, the time of year when sheep are mating. We hear from one Lake District sheep farmer who has spent decades working to perfect his two flocks of pedigree sheep.
Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
