Elliot report; Antibiotics in livestock

Charlotte Smith looks at the report calling for a Food Crime Unit following the horse-meat scandal. Plus, the scientist calling for a cut in the use of antibiotics in livestock.

We hear from Professor Chris Elliott whose report calls for a Food Crime Unit to be set up, following the horse meat scandal of last year. Defra promises action, but are there enough inspection staff to protect food integrity? And we hear from a scientist who says we should cut down on the amount of antibiotics we give to livestock, to help prevent the growth of antibiotic resistant 'super bugs'. Charlotte Smith finds out about the latest research.
