Badger cull figures, animal feed shortage, poinsettias, Welsh hampers

More than thirty two thousand badgers were culled this year, in the government's plan to crack down on bovine TB. The government believes it's worth it to stop a disease costing tens of millions every year, but is that good enough?

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
