	Description:		The government’s 23 million pound fund to help fishermen has opened. It's meant to support businesses whose exports to Europe have been disrupted by Brexit, but fishermen say it excludes most of those it's meant to help. Sailor's Creek Shellfish in Cornwall says it doesn't qualify, even though its income's dropped by 99 per cent. The Scottish Seafood Exports Task Force holds its first meeting. It's been set up by the UK government in response to demands from Scottish fish companies who say they've still got big problems with exporting their produce to Europe. Researchers at the Humane Slaughter Assocation say using CO2 to stun pigs is no more humane than other methods.
