A Ukrainian farmer warns that the continuing war could lead to no crops being planted for next year's harvest. The Black Sea blockade not only means this year's grain can't be exported and sold, but they also can't get diesel to run tractors. Kees Huizinger has been unable to get his wheat past Russian forces. A huge increase in tourists to the 'holy' island of Lindisfarne has led to some safety problems for local people. These include damage to farmland, as well as an increase in the number of people needing to be rescued from the causeway that connects the islands to the mainland.
