Legal row between two brands of oat milk. A mix of real life exhibits and virtual visits - this year's Royal Highland Show.
How to manage water for cleaner rivers and streams.

Oatly, a Swedish oat milk manufacturer is taking a UK producer to court. It says PureOaty, which is made at a farm in Cambridgeshire, is infringing its trademark. The Rayner family who produce PureOaty have contested the case.

The Royal Highland Show is going ahead - but this year's won’t be like any of the 179 previous shows. Exhibitors will be competing at the showground in Edinburgh but visitors will have to watch virtually.

Managing water in the countryside is essential to farmers and the environment. The Rivers Trust say the biggest problem is pollution, and the biggest cause of that is agriculture.
