A new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommends that methane emissions be reduced to help tackle climate change. Caz Graham speaks to one of the report's authors about why methane have now been separated out from carbon dioxide. Stuart Roberts from the National Farmers Union says farming can do more but that British farming is already making progress, and Professor Liam Sinclair from Harper Adams University tells Caz that there is innovation to help farmers cut-down on the amount of methane emitted by their herds. For forestry week Jo Lonsdale is in Kyloe Woods in Northumberland to hear how a three-week fire impacted on this arboreal landscape. Presenter: Caz Graham Producer in Bristol: Toby Field
