Not-spots to hot-spots as the Government sets out its rural broadband plans across Scotland and England. With Caz Graham.

Not-spots to hot-spots as the Government sets out its rural broadband plans across Scotland and England. The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt MP, tells Caz Graham where the money will go and why they are asking Local Authorities to contribute. Eden Valley Digital has been campaigning for better broadband in Cumbria; Caz sees what a difference this money could make to local people.

The UK receives around 拢3.5 billion pounds each year in subsides from Europe for farmers, landowners and food producers. How the money is distributed is different amongst each country in the UK. Moira Hickey visits a Scottish farmer to discover how he gets payments for both farming and maintaining the wildlife.

Presented by Caz Graham. Produced by Emma Weatherill.
