Agriculture in Gaza, Reaction to Chancellor's Speech, Brexit Transition
We speak to the Food and Agriculture Organisation about devastation to farming in Gaza; reaction to the Chancellor's speech; and how Northern Ireland farming is coping after Brexit
Two weeks into the ceasefire in Gaza we speak to the deputy director of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation about what is left of farming in the devastated territory. Beth Bechdol tells us three quarters of farmland has been destroyed, as well as two thirds of wells used for irrigation and drinking water. They are hopeful they will now be able to bring in agricultural supplies to start to rebuild.
Five years after the UK left the EU, we look at how the four nations are responding to the transition to new agriculture policies. Today, it's Northern Ireland.
And we have reaction to Chancellor Rachel Reeves' speech on growth, in which she said there would be some relaxation to environmental regulations for developers who pay into a new Nature Restoration Fund.
