:20:51. > :20:53.under threat after Brexit if farmers are left to compete against cheaper,
:20:54. > :20:56.less regulated rivals That's according to a House of Lords

:21:07. > :21:11.Editor David Shukman. VOICEOVER: Chicken and turkey
:21:12. > :21:15.are an all-American favourite. A hard sell from the
:21:16. > :21:18.American food industry. With industrial scale
:21:19. > :21:21.farms and fewer rules about caring for animals,
:21:22. > :21:25.costs are far lower than here. And a House of Lords committee
:21:26. > :21:28.worries about the impact Welfare standards are nothing
:21:29. > :21:35.like the leading globally ones we have here in United Kingdom
:21:36. > :21:38.so British farmers can be undercut. If that happens then
:21:39. > :21:40.we could potentially see family farms going out of business,
:21:41. > :21:46.the whole countryside changing. At the moment, the welfare
:21:47. > :21:49.of British animals is largely Ministers keep saying
:21:50. > :21:54.they won't water those down, but along with welfare come other
:21:55. > :21:57.questions about the future For example, the way American
:21:58. > :22:03.chickens are processed The use of food grain
:22:04. > :22:09.antimicrobial rinses... In particular the way the carcasses
:22:10. > :22:12.are rinsed in chlorine. This is now a kind of political
:22:13. > :22:15.football in the debate So what are the facts
:22:16. > :22:20.about chickens and chlorine? Well, in Europe, the approach
:22:21. > :22:23.to food hygiene is called Farm to Fork, keeping chickens as clean
:22:24. > :22:28.as possible through every stage. By contrast, in America,
:22:29. > :22:31.farmers are allowed a lower standard of hygiene while the chickens
:22:32. > :22:35.are alive because when they are killed they are immersed in that
:22:36. > :22:40.chlorinem a bit stronger than you'd killed they are immersed in that
:22:41. > :22:43.chlorine a bit stronger than you'd find in a swimming pool
:22:44. > :22:54.to kill any bacteria. Now the European Food Standards
:22:55. > :22:56.Agency concluded that there is no Even so, chickens washed in chlorine
:22:57. > :23:01.are banned by the EU so what next? Well, tonight the International
:23:02. > :23:03.Trade Secretary in Washington denied There's no food safety issue
:23:04. > :23:07.with chlorine-washed goods because the European Union
:23:08. > :23:08.themselves say that I think more of an issue would be
:23:09. > :23:12.around the animal welfare issues that that might suggest
:23:13. > :23:15.and of course we've got no intention of reducing the quality
:23:16. > :23:17.and standards of our regulation. So with a new trade deal
:23:18. > :23:20.in prospect, what do At the New Forest Show in Hampshire,
:23:21. > :23:25.we asked if people wanted cheaper prices of the kind American
:23:26. > :23:29.farmers might offer? Or would they prefer better
:23:30. > :23:32.welfare for animals? A combination of both.
:23:33. > :23:33.Welfare. Animals.
:23:34. > :23:37.A combination of both. No, it isn't, not at all.
:23:38. > :23:46.Animal welfare, definitely. This is a nation of animal lovers,
:23:47. > :23:50.but it's also a time of pressure on people's incomes and the prospect
:23:51. > :23:53.of cheaper food from beyond Europe In Syria, US-backed Kurdish forces
:23:54. > :24:02.are now thought to have gained control of nearly half the city
:24:03. > :24:05.of Raqqa, the last remaining stronghold

:24:09. > :24:11.thousands to flee the city, including some families
:24:12. > :24:14.of IS militants. The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil has spoken
:24:15. > :24:17.to one of the IS wives who has just fled the city and who's now

:24:40. > :24:59.a proper Islamic life. I had many questions and I managed
:25:00. > :25:04.to send them to her. Iman, I'm just wondering
:25:05. > :25:06.if you saw other videos, videos of beheadings,
:25:07. > :25:10.of them burning people alive? How did you think
:25:11. > :25:44.that was proper Islam? But she says when they arrived it
:25:45. > :26:02.wasn't what they expected. Iman's husband is now in

:27:09. > :27:13.the feat of swimming the ten fastest times ever
:27:14. > :27:17.in the 100 metres breaststroke. And today he smashed his

:27:27. > :27:27.perfect from Peaty. There are things he does which might
:27:28. > :27:31.make you doubt that. Tuesday morning he woke up,
:27:32. > :27:36.went to the pool in Budapest for a heat in the 50
:27:37. > :27:39.metres breast stroke. Well he hadn't really
:27:40. > :27:46.meant to do that. I wanted it but I don't know
:27:47. > :27:50.if I wanted it in the heats, but you can't pick and choose
:27:51. > :27:53.but I'm so grateful to obviously be in front of that crowd and hopefully
:27:54. > :27:56.again tonight we'll push it Peaty in lane four, already
:27:57. > :28:13.the world 100 metres champion. Victories come so frequently for him
:28:14. > :28:16.he needs records to motivate him. Swimming 50 metres in a pool
:28:17. > :28:19.is something a lot of people try. How quickly do you think
:28:20. > :28:22.it's possible to do it? Well Peaty was travelling at a pace
:28:23. > :28:25.even the most experienced observers This is the 50 metres breast
:28:26. > :28:30.stroke and look at this. I never thought I would live to see
:28:31. > :28:39.the day when a breast stroke swimmer Coming out there tonight,
:28:40. > :28:44.I was a bit down because it's been I was like, right, get yourself up
:28:45. > :28:49.for it and do what I do and I'm not going to waste a day,
:28:50. > :28:51.I'm not going to waste an opportunity because I don't know
:28:52. > :28:55.when it's going to be my last. I just went out there
:28:56. > :28:57.tonight and did what I do. Well, Peaty is only 22 so let's
:28:58. > :29:00.expect more opportunities, Even by Peaty's standards,
:29:01. > :29:06.that's special. It's 50 years this week
:29:07. > :29:13.since the laws on homosexuality Our Special Correspondent
:29:14. > :29:18.Allan Little has been looking at what the changes
:29:19. > :29:20.to the Sexual Offences Act meant in 1967 and how they affected people
:29:21. > :29:27.in the years that followed. In 1967 a change in the law did not
:29:28. > :29:33.bring a change in attitudes. This is the BBC's

:29:38. > :29:39.us this is revolting. Homosexuals in this country
:29:40. > :29:45.today break the law. These two have lived
:29:46. > :29:47.together for 26 years. They might almost be a married
:29:48. > :29:50.couple but they are still I couldn't believe just
:29:51. > :29:59.because I wanted somebody to love me and to have friendship I had
:30:00. > :30:02.to suffer all this. They put me in a cell
:30:03. > :30:05.and I was in a cell from Saturday This is a celebration to mark
:30:06. > :30:25.the anniversary of the Act, hosted by an LGBT group for the over
:30:26. > :30:33.50s called Opening Doors. Some here were sexually active when
:30:34. > :30:38.it was still a criminal offence. Well, it's like living
:30:39. > :30:41.in an alien society, I had to just make out
:30:42. > :30:50.a false lifestyle really. It is like being non-existent,
:30:51. > :30:54.you know, like you just weren't The Act did not apply to Scotland
:30:55. > :31:01.or Northern Ireland and even in England and Wales it
:31:02. > :31:04.did not end prosecution. Right into the 1990s,
:31:05. > :31:08.police used the gross indecency laws to continue to criminalise gay
:31:09. > :31:14.behaviour and social activity. VOICEOVER: It is a deadly disease
:31:15. > :31:17.and there is no known cure. In the '80s, HIV and Aids brought
:31:18. > :31:22.a new atmosphere of moral panic. By the end of the decade,
:31:23. > :31:24.the number of gross indecency prosecutions against gay men
:31:25. > :31:27.was as high as it had Many many lead

:31:52. > :32:07.very nasty rumblings and utterances, partially stoked by the use
:32:08. > :32:12.of social media, that could turn very nasty indeed
:32:13. > :32:19.if we're not vigilant. In July 1967, the Home Secretary Roy
