Fishermen say dredging is to blame for the mass deaths of crabs and lobsters along the north east coast of England, they believe it's released the chemical pyridine, and have commissioned their own report. But a report from DEFRA says a naturally occurring harmful algal bloom is killing marine life. People living near one of the biggest planned solar farms in the country have been having their say on the scheme. Developers say the farm in Lincolnshire would be a chance to help the country meet its green ambitions, but opponents say it's too big. At more than two thousand acres, Mallard Pass Solar Farm would be the size of Heathrow. The livestock market has long been the place to trade both animals and information, but these days, there are a lot of other ways to do business, so what's the role of the modern mart? We speak to Chris Dodds, Executive Secretary of the Livestock Auctioneers Association. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney
