Native Shetland Wool will be the first non-food product to be awarded the same European protection as Stilton Cheese. Sheep farmer Ronnie Eunson tells Anna Hill that he wants to put the 'magic' back into wool from Shetland. A National Audit Office report has said that an extra twenty million pounds will be needed every year until 2035 to maintain England's flood defences. But, the NAO says that, instead, funding from central government is being cut and councils will be hard pressed to make up the difference. The Flooding Minister Richard Benyon defends the Government's approach. Meanwhile, Caz Graham visits farmers in Cumbria who are planting hedges and trees to slow down water run off from their land.
