	Description:		"I fought the corner for farmers harder than any of them will ever realise" - in this programme former DEFRA Secretary, George Eustice, speaks to Anna Hill about the negotiation of the Australia Trade Deal. This week he told Parliament the deal is "not actually a very good deal for the UK", despite defending the deal as a "good agreement" while still at DEFRA. He explains why he thinks he was right NOT to speak out at the time. A new panel of experts will be formed to investigate the mass deaths of shellfish on the North East cost of England. It's after fishermen and academics disagreed with the findings of the Government-led investigation. And "Love Island" for elm trees - we meet the scientists trying to breed trees that are resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
