Enforced Labour, Invasive Species
We hear from a man forced to work for thirteen years on a Welsh farm without pay. And how the international community is coming together to tackle invasive species.
A man who was forced to work for 13 years without pay on a farm between Cardiff and Newport has been talking about his ordeal. Darrell Simester is rebuilding his life since he was freed last year. Gwent Police have since widened an investigation because of concerns his case might not be unique.
Only international cooperation and long-term planning will be able to prevent the growing threat from invasive species. That's according to a high-level conference being held in Turkey this week. Invasive species are estimated to cost Europe up to 20 billion euros a year in lost biodiversity, human health and the economy.
