A consortium of 500 organisations is calling for antibiotic use on UK farms to be severely restricted by law. They want UK supermarkets to insist none of their suppliers use antibiotics on groups of animals to prevent disease. The new Fisheries Bill is being introduced to Parliament today. The government promises it will create powers to ensure a profitable future for UK fishermen, post Brexit, and that they'll have a fairer share of 'fishing opportunities'. Sophie Bagley from North Yorkshire takes birds from her local game shoot and creates microwaveable ready-meals which can be on our plate in 24 hours. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
