How do you put a price on our mountains, moorlands and waterways? The Office for National Statistics is in the middle of a survey which maps the nation's natural capital. It's just published its latest assessment. In Scotland the number and scale of wildfires is forcing firefighters to learn radical new ways of tackling the flames. They're borrowing ideas from countries where wildfires are more common. Environmental groups say millions of fish could die if plans to use sea-water to cool a new power plant on the Somerset coast aren't changed.
