Why is there a shortage of fruit and vegetables in the UK?

After Tesco became the latest supermarket to introduce limits on sales of certain fruit and vegetables due to shortages of fresh produce, Adam is joined by the BBC’s Faisal Islam and Farming Today’s Anna Hill to discuss what this all means for our shopping trolleys.

We hear from JOsh Baker, host of The Shamima Begum Story, Series 2 of the investigative podcast I’m Not a Monster, after her bid to regain UK citizenship was rejected.

And Chris Mason is back to examine whether the government has shifted its tone on public sector pay after the Royal College of Nursing union halted next week's 48-hour strike in England.

Today's episode was presented by Adam Fleming and was made by Tim Walklate with Cordelia Hemming, Pearse Lynch and George Dabby. The technical producer was Mike Regaard. The senior news editor was Damon Rose.
