Millions of pounds worth of meat from cattle killed under the TB slaughter programme is still making it to our plates. Last year almost 25 thousand were culled by DEFRA vets after reacting positively to TB testing. Anna Hill hears how many of those animals still made it into the human food chain and asks how rigorous the inspection process is and how much risk there is to human health.

The controversial practice of throwing fish back into the sea dead - known as discarding - could be stopped under European proposals to get fishermen to land all the fish they catch. But fishermen and the Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon says that will just move the waste from sea to shore and other solutions are needed.
