  • Faultlines: Can British farming survive?

    Faultlines: Can British farming survive?
    May 10 2024
    Across the UK anger is brewing among farmers.

    Protests have already been held in London, Dover and Wales, with more on the way - mirroring similar tensions seen across Europe in the last six months.

    Their anger is focused on cheap foreign imports and changes to subsidies forcing farmers to give up land in favour of environmental schemes.

    But what does this mean for the food on our table - and is British produce now a luxury product for the wealthy only?

    On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by West of England and Wales correspondent Dan Whitehead to find out why farmers are so concerned, and speaks to Liz Webster, the founder of Save British Farming, about why she believes eating British isn't just good for our farmers - it's good for the nation's health, too.

    In response to our report, Farming Minister Mark Spencer, said:

    “We firmly back our farmers. British farming is at the heart of British trade, and we put agriculture at the forefront of any deals we negotiate, prioritising new export opportunities, protecting UK food standards and removing market access barriers.

    “We’ve maintained the £2.4 billion annual farming budget and recently set out the biggest ever package of grants which supports farmers to produce food profitably and sustainably.”

    The Welsh government said: “A successful future for Welsh farming should combine the best of our traditional farming alongside cutting-edge innovation and diversification. It will produce the very best of Welsh food to the highest standards, while safeguarding our precious environment and addressing the urgent call of the climate and nature emergencies.”

  • The toddler born deaf whose hearing’s been restored | Labour’s newest MP apologises

    The toddler born deaf whose hearing’s been restored | Labour’s newest MP apologises
    May 9 2024
    On this episode, Niall speaks to one of the doctors who worked to restore the hearing of an 18-month-old girl – who was born deaf.

    Medics at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge have used gene therapy to help a rare condition, auditory neuropathy. It’s caused by the disruption of nerve impulses travelling from the inner ear to the brain.

    Opal Sandy can now respond to her parents’ voices and can communicate words such as “Dada” and “bye-bye”.

    Plus, Natalie Elphicke, the MP who defected from the Conservatives to Labour yesterday, apologises for comments she made after her ex-husband, and predecessor as MP for Dover, was convicted of sexual assault in 2020.

    She said at the time that being "attractive" and "attracted to women" had made him an "easy target".

    Niall talks to deputy political editor Sam Coates about the disquiet within Labour about Mrs Elphicke’s arrival.

  • Can social media ever be a safe place for kids?

    Can social media ever be a safe place for kids?
    May 8 2024
    The UK media regulator has set out new rules for social media companies designed to keep children safe online.

    The new Ofcom rules include age verification and reformulating algorithms to keep children away from "toxic" content. But parents whose children have died as a result of exposure to harmful content have called the rules an "insult".

    On the Sky News Daily Niall Paterson is joined by technology correspondent at the Financial Times Cristina Criddle to discuss what the measures are and how they can be delivered.

    Niall is also joined by John Carr, who is on the government's principal advisory body for online safety and security for children, to discuss the challenges of enforcing the rules and if they go far enough to protect children.
