The environmental author and journalist George Monbiot has started a heated debate about access to the countryside by posting a tweet encouraging people to trespass. His comment has raised hackles in the farming world, but support from others. Mr Monbiot clarified in another tweet, saying "To those reacting against my call to trespass, all I want is the same rights to walk in England and Wales as there are in Scotland." Malcolm Combe, lecturer at Aberdeen University's school of law, outlines the difference between Scottish and English land access law. A new bull has arrived at a National Trust site in Carmarthenshire to try to secure the future of the rare breed, White Park cattle. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
